Members Alexander, Boyd, Gorton, Hopkins and

ABSENT: None
1. The Council convened into Executive Session to discuss
legal matters (considered action in Denton County vs. City and
In Re: Flow), real estates, and personnel/board appointments
(considered appointments to the Animal Shelter Advisory
Committee and Building Code Board).
5:45 p.m.
1. The Council held a discussion with the Parks and
Recreation Board regarding Cit~ priorities in the operation of
City parks and recreation facilities.
Carl Anderson, Chair-Parks and Recreation Board, stated that
the Board had started meeting more often and was meetin~ with
the advisory boards of the recreation centers. He felt there
might have been a misunderstanding regarding the Board's
involvement in the Parks budget process. The Board was very
active and was involved in the ranking of items. They
regularly received feedback from Steve Brinkman on park
issues. The Board was moving its meetings to different
recreation centers each meeting and was receiving input from
each advisory board. Several of the centers had key issues it
wished to present to Council. The Martin Luther King, Jr.
Recreation Center felt that another employee at the Center at
night might help with a safety problem. There were few people
working with many users. The Center would also like expanded
hours on Saturday and hours available on Sunday. The Senior
Center would like Saturday hours and an additional worker to
help with the new facility. North Lakes would like to expand
its hours to earlier in the morning and more hours on
Saturday.' Anderson listed goals that the Board wanted to
accomplish some of which included becoming more involved in the
budget process, having more contact with the advisory boards,
expansion of hours at the Centers, combining the baseball
leagues, and completion of the Senior Center expansion.
Council Member Gorton asked if the Board
concerns/interests were conveyed through the ranks.

Anderson replied that the Board's recommendation was ~ot always
followed as it progressed through the ranks.
Council Member McAdams questioned Anderson's
regarding a public hearing on North Lakes.
statement
Anderson stated that it would be an information session with
the neighbors dealing with expansion of the ball fields and
returning North Lakes to a neighborhood center as opposed to a
fitness center.
Council Member Alexander stated that perhaps the direction to
follow was to keep the current centers open longer before
thinking about opening new centers.
Dalton Gregory, Parks and Recreation Board, stated that if the
budget couldn't support the costs of the centers such as
maintenance and staff, recreation centers shouldn't be put in
bond elections. If the centers were built, then the City
should be willing to support them.
Mayor Stephens asked Anderson if the Board had looked at the
total park/recreation budget for possible adjustments in .order
to find the money for the additional personnel the centers were
suggesting.
Anderson replied that they had not had time to do an in-depth
study. A preliminary look indicated that there were no areas
in the park/recreation budget for those personnel.
Mayor Stephens thanked the representatives from the Board for
joining them.
2. The Council held a discussion regarding the Freeport
Amendment.
Lloyd Harrell, City Manager, presented an update on recent
meetings with the community regarding the Freeport Amendment.
He stated that on November 29 a meeting was held with
representatives from the DISD, Chamber, area businesses and the
City. The general feeling was that the Amendment would
probably be put into effect over a time period as opposed to
immediately going into effect. The City would probably take
action to continue the tax and to leave open dialog with the
businesses to develop plans for a gradual implementation. The
Chamber of Commerce would form a joint study committee made up
of members from the DISD, City, industry, the Chamber and a
citizen-at-large. This study committee would look at the issue
and make recommendations for alternatives to the group.

The Metroplex Mayors ASSociation was recommending that cities
take action to extend the tax. They also were recommending a
joint funding study to study the cost benefit analysis for the
Amendment. Staff was suggesting an ordinance for consideration
to extend the tax and a resolution of support for the amendment
but allow time to study the issue and the effects of the
amendment.
Consensus of the Council was to direct staff to prepare an
ordinance to not grant the Freeport Amendment for 1990 and
subsequent years and to do further research into the effects of
the Amendment.
The Council then convened into the Regular Session at 7:00 p.m.
in the Council Chambers.

zoning had been about 22 acres with the current request being
approximately 7 acres. The ordinance only enabled the radio
tower to be built.
Council Member Boyd was concerned about interference with the
tower in the area. Did the project have FCC approval.
