Ezell City Manager Jim Hancock Ass ' t. City Manager Shirley Armstrong City Secretary John Boyle City Attorney , f. Mayor Tate called the meeting to order. The invocation was delivered by Councilman Dalton. The first order of business was for the City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing for F the purpose of considering the rezoning of 204 North Dooley Street from 11C-2" Community Business District to "L-I" Light Industrial District. The applicant was Mr. Frank Lang of American Klegecell Corporation. Application Number Z76-18. ; Mayor Tate declared open the public hearing and introduced Mr. Richard Lang, General Manager of Klegecell Corporation. - is Mr. Lang explained that the material his firm manufactured was Klegecell foam, a wholesale vinyl core material. He added that future plans included building a structure similar to a woodworking facility for the purpose of making sandwich panels, a more finished product. Mr. Lang explained that the product is being exported to numerous foreign countries as well as being sold in the United States . He added that the proximity to the airport would be an important convenience to Klegecell Corp The City Manager then pointed out the location of the property in question. j Councilman Dunn asked how many employees the firm anticipated } hiring within the next year. Mr. Lang answered approximately r one hundred. t Planning & Zoning Member, Harlen Joyce asked if there would be y any dust, fumes or other elements that could cause injury. Mr. Lang answered that there would be dust, but that it would enter a dust collection system, be sacked in plastic bags, and sold as insulation. He added that there were no toxic elements '1 involved that would be detremental to health. j k t Member Joe Kennedy asked what plans were expected for the second building to be constructed. Mr. Lang answered that the foam would be made into a sandwich panel, with wood, aluminum, steel or metal on each side which would produce a very lightweight structural panel. He added that such panels are presently being sold for use in airplanes . Councilman Florence asked if any excess noise was expected. } Mr. Lang answered that the only noise would be from a wood I saw but noted that it would be enclosed in a sound proof room. Councilman Dalton asked if the foam was flamable. Mr. Lang answered no, that the foam was filled with CO 2 and would only vaporize. Mayor Tate asked if there were any guests present who wished to speak for or against the application. There were none. The City Secretary reported that she had not received any correspondence either for or against the application. Member Joe Kennedy made a motion to close the Planning & Zoning portion of the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded i by Member Harlen Joyce and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Ware, Joyce, Kennedy, Jones and Davis Nays: None Absent: Crabtree There being no further questions from the Council, Councilman Pirkle made a motion to close the Council 's portion of the Public Hearing. His motion was seconded by Councilman Dunn and pre- vailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle and Dunn : Nays: None Absent: Gideon The next order of business was for the City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing for the purpose of considering the rezoning of the following two tracts of land: 1. A 2.36 acre tract out of the H. Decker Survey from "R-3" Multi-family Dwelling to "C-2" Community Business District. 2. A 3.42 acre tract out of the W. D. Shepherd and H. Decker Surveys from "R-2" Two-family Dwelling District to "R-3" Multi-family Dwelling District. The applicant was Larry F. Lightner. Mayor Tate declared open the Public Hearing on Zoning Applica- tion Z76-19. The City Manager then described the location of the property in question. The presentation was then made by Mr. George Christian on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Christian explained that he felt the zoning should be granted because the change would not increase the overall density of the community that is developing in that section of the city. He added that the zoning would be logical for the area and would help to meet the needs of the people. He explained that the 3.42 acre tract is presently zoned for duplex construction but is only 150 feet wide and 1050 feet deep. He added that it joined a piece of property to the north that is already zoned multi-family. He explained that this would then make a multi-family tract of approximately ten acres. He then stated that the 2.36 acre tract is similarly in an isolated position. He explained that it is currently zoned Multi-family in an area surrounded by a church, school, and single family dwelling. He added that the lot was small trianular shaped, and would be best suited for commercial property. Member Harlen Joyce asked if there were any specific plans for the commercial property. Mr. Christian answered that no definite plans had been made. Ir Mayor Tate asked if there were any guests present who wished to speak for or against the application. Mr. Joe Box asked permission to speak on behalf of the D.E. Box Estate. Mr. Box explained that the 2.36 acre tract being considered joined approximately 137 acres to the south and west that was owned w by the Box Estate. He then stated that because of the con- figuration of the lot in question and its proximity to his property, he felt that a commercial business on that site would decrease the value of the estate property. He also 6 expressed concern that there were no definite plans for a specific commercial business at the present time. Mr. Joe Wright, citizen, commented that he would like to speak in favor of the "R-3" zoning for the 3.42 acre tract. He added that he felt a zoning of "C-211 was too heavy for the 2.36 acre tract and commented that "C-1" might be a more suitable zoning for that property. t; r The City Secretary stated that she had not received any k opposition to the zoning request concerning either piece of property. AIM Mr. Christian commented in regard to Mr. Box's statement, that he felt even though a piece of property was zoned commercial, the City still had control over the type business, building construction, and fencing. Member Harlen Joyce commented that it would be more practical to ask for commercial zoning after a decision had been made as to what type business would be constructed on the site. Mr. Christian answered that that would be best for the surrounding k property owners of today, but might not necessarily meet the F needs of the many homes in the area that will need to be served by commercial property. Mr. Christian then pointed out that t the piece of property in question needed to be pictured as a potential major intersection. He acknowledged that according F F to the City's Master Plan, a road would pass through that area r connecting Hwy. 157 to Hwy. 121. C Councilman Dunn stated that it needed to be taken into considera- tion that there would soon be approximately 400 homes in that area, with virtually no commercial conveniences. There was little other discussion. Member Mike Davis made a p motion to close the Planning & Zoning 's portion of the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded by Member Harlen Joyce and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Ware, Kennedy, Joyce, Jones and Davis Nays: None Absent: Crabtree Councilman Oliver then made a motion to close the Council's portion of the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dalton and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Florence , Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle & Dunn Nays: None Absent: Gideon 3 Y F e S Mayor Tate then announced that the Council would take a short recess and reconvene in the Council Chambers. He added that the Planning & Zoning Commission would reconvene in the Conference Room to discuss further agenda business. The next order of business was for the City Council to hold a Public Hearing for the purpose of the analyzation of rates, service, and other related matters of Tri-County Electric Corp. Mayor Tate explained that several months prior to this meeting, the Council heard complaints from numerous customers of Tri-County Electric. He stated that during that time, Tri-County was negotiating with TP&L for the sale of their assets within the City. He added that it was his understanding that those negotiations had ceased. He stated that there were various matters in which the council felt it has prerogative to establish in its relation- ship with Tri-County. He added that complaints have been re- ceived from several Tri-County customers and that was the purpose of the Pulbic Hearing. The City Manager introduced Mr. Johnny Ammons, the General Manager of Tri-County Electric. Mr. Ammons commented that the negotiations with TP&L had not been completed. He added that there were a number of items that would have to be considered in the event Tri-County sold to TP&L. He explained that Tri-County borrowed money from the Rural Electric Administration, a govern- ment agency, and Consumers Finance Corporation. He added that Tri-County had mortgages with those two firms and that there were certain conditions written into those contracts. He stated that his attorney was preparing papers in regard to that matter which would be presented to the Board of Directors of Tri-County Electric during a meeting on December 7, 1976. He added that at that time the Board of Directors would determine whether or not to continue negotiations with TP&L. Mr. Ammons explained that the major complaint from Grapevine customers had been in regard to the fuel clause which was a result of the present energy crisis. Mayor Tate asked if Tri-County manufactured any fuel, or if it was purchased. Mr. Ammons answered that all of their power was purchased. The Mayor then stated that in talking with some Tri-County custo- mers , there had apparently been a substantial increase in the fuel adjustment. He asked Mr. Ammons if there was any reason for a recent increase. Mr. Ammons answered that there had not been an increase in the last several months , but that there had been during the past two or three years. Mayor Tate then asked if Tri-County had made any comparison of the rates, including the fuel adjustments, with the average home- owner in the Grapevine area that might compare to a similar bill for service rendered by TP&L. Mr. Ammons answered that they had not. Mayor Tate asked if there was a pass through on the fuel clause or if there was a markup on it. Mr. Ammons answered that it was a complete pass through that was controlled by the Texas Utility Commission. f . Mayor Tate asked if Mr. Ammons was in a position to state what Tri-County's future would be in Grapevine in the event they did not decide to sell their assets to TP&L. Mr. Ammons answered that because of the State Utility Commission, he did not know what the future of Tri-County might be. Mayor Tate asked how many customers Tri-County was serving in the City of Grapevine. Mr. Ammons answered approximately 40. The Mayor asked if Tri-County planned to expand its operation in Grapevine in the future. Mr. Ammons answered that they would not be able to because of lack of a franchise. Councilman Florence asked where the power came from that served Grapevine customers. Mr. Ammons stated that they were a member of the Brazos Power System and bought their power from them through various sub stations. Councilman Florence then asked where the nearest service ' representative was located for Grapevine customers. Mr. Ammons C answered that there was a sub-office in Keller. i Councilman Florence asked if Tri-County Electric was a profit making organization with dividends. Mr. Ammons answered that r there were no dividends of any kind. He added that Tri-County has a Capital Credit System which was initiated by Internal Revenue Service whereby when there was no longer a direct need for profit funds, that it was returned to customers in the form of capital credit refunds . Mayor Tate asked if Tri-County Electric would object to un- satisfied customers being served by TP&L. Mr. Ammons commented that he felt the people Tri-County Electric had borrowed money from would object. Mayor Tate commented that it appeared that it was not a voluntary cooperative, but that the Tri-County customers are in essence a captive group. 4. Councilman Dunn asked Mr. Ammons if he would make some statement regarding the failure of his firm to pay the 2% utility rental charge required by the City of Grapevine. Mr. Ammons explained that this occurred when Tri-County Electric was brought into the city as an annexed territory. He added that a franchise was MWA requested, and not granted. He acknowledged that it was his k understanding that if a company did not have a franchise, it owed the city nothing. He explained that if that was in error, the Tri-County Electric attorney would be instructed to in- 4! vestigate the matter. Mayor Tate then introduced Mr. P. R. Yoes , resident of Indian Hills Mobil Home Park and Tri-County Electric customer. Mr. Yoes explained in detail the constant increase in his electric statement over the past several months. He expressed a lack of cooperation from Tri-County in regard to consideration of the r large increase. 1 Mr. Jack Kemp, resident of Indian Hills Mobil Home Park and Tri- County customer stated he had made a comparison which showed the Tri-County rates were higher than neighboring utility companies. He also expressed concern that his meter was not being read. Mr. Ralph Anderson, citizen, asked Mr. Ammons what part of their electric service was fuel cost. Mr. Ammons answered that the fuel adjustment was the total cost of fuel, plus some of the total cost of the increase from the power company when power was purchased. jThere was little other discussion. Mayor Tate commented that Mr. Yoes bill was grossly too high. He added that there was too large a difference in TP&L rates and Tri-County rates consider- ing the difference in service, cooperation, and facilities . He commented that the same problem had been reoccuring for several years. and that it was his hope that the matter could be solved in the near future. He added that it was his desire that when the Board of Directors of Tri-County met on December 7th, that they would reach a decision to begin negotiations with TP&L to sell their facilities so that the forty customers served by Tri- County could buy their electric service on the same basis as other Grapevine citizens. He then stated that the Utility Committee would meet in the near future to discuss the matter further. F a Councilman Dunn then made a motion to close the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded by Councilman Pirkle and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle & Dunn Nays: None Absent: Gideon The next order of business was consideration of the minutes of November 16, 1976.

The City Manager explained that Mr. Jodi Williams was in attend- ance to show the Council a film of the cable water skiing system being considered for installation on a portion of Lake Grapevine corps lease. Mr. Ezell explained that an additional 20 acres would need to be leased from the Corps of Engineers . Mr. Williams showed the film and briefly explained the operations of the ski- ff system. The City Manager explained that there would be some fees from the operation that woould go to the City and assist in the maintenance of Oak Grove Park.
