City Council Conducts
Regular November Meet
Last Thursday Evening
Goldthwaite's City Council met in regular session on Thursday,
November 11 at City Hall.
Routine matters such as the reading of the minutes, review of
paid bills, and the reivew of the monthly operations for October
were approved.
Regular operations of the city's departments for the month
indicated a surplus of $3,486.23. The largest department surplus
was in the electric department, which showed a surplus of $9,082.15.
Councilman Mike Wright touched on the proposed recreation
area for the Goldthwaite City Park. He said that a sand volleyball
court, curb and a steel net has been listed as the first things to be
built. A suitable site with lighting will be decided on later. Wright
said that other Goldthwaite civic organizations or individuals
would be brought in on the planning of the area. Further details
will be introduced at future council sessions for final action.
Linus Fries of Goldthwaite was at the council meeting to submit
a resolution for consideration of the group. It concerned the
support of the Soverignty Resolution. The resolution deals with
the borrowning of funds from the United States government,
interest free, to finance voter-approved public works projects. The
non-binding resolution was aproved by the council on a 3-1 vote,
with Councilmen Don Seward, Glyn Walton and Frank Bridges
voting for and Councilman Wright voting against.
1 Under the agenda item of new business, the council passed
another resolution, this one in support of efforts to secure a prison
or jail facility for Goldthwaite. The council went on record in
support of any cooperative effort with Mills County, the Mills
County Chamber of Commerce or other private efforts.
Mayor Richard Poss reported on the recent public hearing at the
Mills County Civic Center by the Central Texas Council of Govern-
ments concerning the proposed grant application of Superior
Sanitation Service. SSS is seeking the grant to construct a recy-
cling center in Goldthwaite. Poss said that the meeting was very
positive and that governmental representatives from all over the
Central Texas COG region were present.
Superor Sanitation will be moving their headquarters to
Goldthwaite from Copperas Cove in the near future and will be
building a transfer station on the former City of Goldtwaite landfill
property. The recycling station will also be housed there. At a
recent meeting, the city council voted to offer SSS a long-term lease
on the property, which is located about three miles west of
Goldthwaite on FM 574.
Final papers were signed at the meeting between the city and
Joe Benningfield, the purchaser of the former Mauney property.
Benningfield was the recent high bidder for the surplus property,
2 which is at the intersection of Hannay Valley Road and Fisher
Street. He and his wife own an adjacent antique store.
Mills County Commissioner of Precinct One, Joe Karnes, was at
the meeting with information about the Mills County Emergency
Medical Service. He said that recent staff shortages have necessi-
tated the seeking of additional drivers for the ambulances. Any
person with a valid license can assist in this community effort.
Karnes also talked briefly about a cooperative effort to obtain a
prison or jail facility here.
City Manager Dale Allen presented his monthly report. It in-
, eluded:
• An ongoing comparison of insurance policies and insurance
rates has indicated that the city might be moving its policies to the
Texas Municipal League in the future. Rates for the statewide
agency are much lower than other sources. Workman's Compensa-
tion is presently costing $19,230 per year. TML coverage would be
$13,005. Most other individual policies now in force for the city
would carry like savings, according to CM Allen's investigation. No
immediate action was forthcoming on the insurance matter, since
policies come due at different times during the year.
• Data is being gathered prior to bid procedures for a new bucket
truck for the electric department. The item was included in the
current fiscal year budget of the city. The older green unit will be
traded in or sold in the package deal. About $36,000 was budgeted
for the new truck.
• City crews, in cooperation with Mills County Precinct One,
worked over Cline Steet in northern Goldthwaite. The street turns
into a county road.
• Connects and disconnects of utilities amounted to 43 for the
month of October and five work tickets were handled.

Area Game With Wall Friday
Eagles’ Dominance Is Evident In Bi-District Win
By Justin Reeves
Eagle Staff
Goldthwaite took a workman's
attitude into the bi-district round
of the playoffs against Jim Ned.
They used that attitude to totally
dominate every phase of the game
and steamroll the Indians by a
final score of 35-0.
Jim Ned received the opening
kickoff, and right away started to
mount a drive. The Eagle defense
quickly pulled together and forced
the Indians to punt.
