The Sanger City Council
considered an assessment from
the County regarding services
offered by the Denton County
Health Department Monday
night.
The Denton County Health
Department Will still offer the
same services but will divide
those services into 2 groups.
One is 4,he Environmental
Section "which includes
inspections -of stores,
restaurants, septic tanks,
water wells, swimming pools,
day care centers, complaints,
and educational services. In
Sanger this would involve the
inspection of stores and eating
establishments.
The other division is that of
the Clinical Section which
involves the County Health
Clinic.
At the present time the City
of Sanger gives $500 a year in
pledges to the Denton County
Health Department. Under this
new assessment the Health
Department would require the
City of Sanger to pay for these
services on a per capita basis.
For the Environmental
Services the City of Sanger
would pay Denton County
Health Department $5,082 for
one year’s service. The Clinical
Services would amount to
$4,197 for that same one year’s
time.
Mayor Nel Armstrong
recommended to the Council
that the City of Sanger do
further checking into
establishing health services
and hiring a certified health
inspector and possibly a doctor
to perform clinical duties,
instead of continuing use and
having to pay for Denton
County Services. Denton
County is expecting a response
from the City of Sanger on the
assessment by June 23.
Two Clovis Crockett
Memorial Scholarships of
$500.00 were awarded to two
seniors; Tom Swartz and Mark
McNeal. The scholarships are
to further the education of
worthy Sanger High School
graduates. The following
qualifications are required: A
good Christian, a good
academic rating, and a plan to
continue their education. The
Sanger High School counselor
submits a list of seniors to the
CCMS committee who in turn
chooses the recipients.
Mark is the son of Skip and
Mary McNeal. During his high
school years, he participated in
basketball for four years,
football his senior year, Honor
Society for three years,
S.T.A.R.S. for four years,
Texas Boys State, his junior
year, Student Council for three
years, and Spanish Club for one
year. He plans to finish college,
attend Southwestern Baptist
Seminary and become a Baptist
Minister.

The City Council approved
the adoption of an ordinance
amending Section 17 of the
Impact Fee Ordinance. This
Ordinance regulates the fees
for water, waste water, and
electrical services. It provides
amethod for calculating fees,
providing for time and method
of payment, and provides for
an effective date.
Under the new amendment
for the method of calculating
fees, one-half of the applicable
impact fee will be paid by the
developer or owners at the
time of the platting of the
subdivision. The remaining
one-half of the impact fee shall
be paid at the time a building
permit is issued or a tap fee is
collected, whichever comes
first.
The impact fee for
apartments containing two
bedrooms or smaller will be
calculated by multiplying the
total applicable impact fee for
water and sewer by .7. Larger
apartments containing either
two baths or three bedrooms
will be computed on the same
basis as a single family
residence. The impact fee for
electrical service will remain
the same for each apartment.
The impact fee for
commercial and institutional
uses will be computed by the
size of meter and electrical
demand. The sanitary service
impact fee would be tied to the
water use in the same manner
as the basic sanitary fee.
Dave Prewett, Engineer and
Vice President of Hunter
Associates, Inc., in Dallas
appeared before the Council
for the adoption of a Sewer Use
Ordinance. This Ordinance is to
protect the waste water
collection and treatment
system. What this does is to
outline the character of waste
which may be discharged into
the system.
The Council reappointed
Esta Lou Morgan, Kammie
Patton,
Russell
another
Board.
Dr. Clyde Chapman was
reappointed as City Health
Officer.
City Manager Steve Shutt
reported the shut down of
Sanger’s water well no. 4
Lacau&« of a&nd fouad in the
water. A hole in the well shaft
at approximately 700 or 800
feet was discovered. This well
is considered a low pumper,
pumping approximately 65
gallons per minute. No
immediate water shortage is
expected because of the shut
down.
Shutt also reported to the
Council that the City will begin
mosquito fogging as soon as the
weather conditions improve.
Sanger citizen Sid Campbell
lodged a complaint with the
Council against the Santa Fe
Railroad for not mowing the
right of way owned by the
railroad. He stated that it has
caused numerous fires and
other problems.
Rick Brown, of the city’s
inspection department, said
that weed notices had been
sent out to Santa Fe Railroad,
but no response has been
received. The City of Sanger
does have the option to fine
Santa Fe Railroad if they do
not comply with the weed
ordinance.
The much sought after
battle for the Democratic
nomination for Precinct 4
County Commissioner comes to
and end Saturday.
Don Hill of Denton and James
Mays of Green Valley are the
two finalists. Hill had a
commanding lead of 527 to
Mays 342 votes in the primary
but things have changed. Two
other candidates in that race,
H.R. "Tooter” Pruett and Gary
Truitt have both pledged their
support for the underdog
Mays.
Mays, 59, owns a plastering
company and is a lifetime
resident of the Green Valley
community. Hill, 38, is a former
county auditor. District judges
voted not to reappoint him in
September of 1985 because of
potential nepotism.
