Councilman � Dalton made a motion that the reading of the minutes be � waived and that they be approved as published. The motion � was seconded by Councilman Pirkle and prevailed by the �, following vote: �' � Ayes: Tate, Gideon, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn � Nays: None � � � The next order of business was for the City Council to �. appoint an auditor to audit the 1975-76 city books . The � City Manager explained that the names of °two firms had been �a � submitted for consideration to conduct the 1975-76 audit. � K They were Pittman & Harris and Hankins, Powers, & Fergerson. � Councilman Florence commented that he preferred Pittman and � � Harris because they were a local firm and were familiar with s� t the city' s accounting system. Councilmen Gideon and Oliver also commented that they preferred a local firm. Councilman � Dunn stated that he felt there should be a very clear under- � standing of what is to be expected of the auditor and what " methods are to be used in the audit. Councilman Dalton commented that t�e felt some very definite guidelines, including F a maximum amount of money, need to be set up for this years �� audit. Mayor Tate stated that he felt regardless of who the � accounting firm was, the type of audit and extensiveness of � the examination could be controlled. He added that before the instructions are given to the auditor, an evaluation sh�uld k be made to determine the extent of the audit needed. Councilman g E Dunn asked who would be responsible for setting out the guide- � lines for the auditor to follow. Mayor Tate answered that he � b i �' � ; � � � T��; � not be raised at this time. Mayor Tate added that the c pro rata rates may need to be raised at this time since some new lines are planning to be installed. He suggested p. that those residents who are still under the four year time �` limit for tying on to the city' s water system be given notice �` �. of a reasonable length of time (60 to 90 days) to tie on at � the current rates. Councilman Dunn stated that he felt � those persons under the four year time limit should be able � to tie on to the city water system at any time during the E four year period at the pro rata rates that were in effect ; , at the time, the lines were laid. Mayor Tate commented that � Councilman Dunn had a good point regarding the pro-rata, and � added that it was still not clear to him how other cities in the area handled this problem. He added that the pro rata � indicates a return of the cost of a particular line and that x'' there is a logical argument that the cost of that line will � be repaid by the people that use the line. There was little �; other discussion. € £: � Councilman Gideon made a motion that the entire proposed � utility ordinance be adopted. There was no second to the � motion. Mayor Tate asked Councilman Gideon if he would � accept an amendment to his motion. Councilman Gideon � answered yes.

The City E Manager explained that the City of Euless recently installed �; a twelve inch water line along the south side of Glade Road. � He then explained that the City of Euless was willing to sell � F water to Grapevine and also allow the usage of their twelve � inch line if the City of Grapevine would pay for half the �' cost of the line. He further commented that that would pre- � vent Grapevine from paralleling the Euless line on the oppo- �' site side of the street and also would save half the cost of s an additional line. He added that Euless would take care of all maintenance on the line. The City Manager stated that an agreement would have to be drawn up with Euless and that no action was necessary other than to authorize the city staff to prepare plans for construction of the proposed lines. � He added that the plans would be prepared by city staff en- � � gineers. Councilman Dunn made a motion to authorize the city g; staff to prepare plans and advertise for bids for construction � of the water lines along Glade Road, Hughes Road, and Grape- vine-Euless Road and also to authorize the City Attorney to prepare an agreement with the City of Euless to share the �' f twelve inch water line along the south side of Glade Road. � � � r: � 'F The motion was seconded by Councilman Gideon and prevailed by the following vote: , � Ayes : Tate, Gideon, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn ' Nays : None ,I The next order of business was for the City Council to consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign� Shoreview Estates final plat to enjoin the city lot encompassed by the addition.
