tion.

Inc., is one of the world's

distributors of compact,
lightweight, high perfor-
mance air conditioning com-
pressors and heat exchangers
for automobiles and trucks.
At an emergency meeting of
the City Council on Friday
afternoon, June 28, they
voted unanimously to ap-
prove a formal response to a
proposal from the owners of
Southfork Mobile Home
Park, Cambridge Income
Fund, by City Manager Bill
Dashnar.
A report was done in
December of 1990 that reveal-
ed strong evidence that the
mobile home park was using
unmetered water for its
sprinkler system, ponds and a
fountain. The park represents
26 percent of the City’s total
water meters and is the only
park in the City that is not
master metered. Dashner has
estimated that the City is los-
ing approximately $85,000
annually due to the loss of
unmetered water and the
manpower it takes for turn-
ons, turn-offs and re-reads.
In addition, a special report
was done by the Code En-
forcement Officer that reveal-
ed the park is in violation of
water, sewer, electrical, plum-
bing and cable codes.
The Council authorized two
master meters to be installed
in the park so that the owners
would be responsible for pay-
ment of all metered water to
the park. The owners were
given the option to purchase
the meters from the City or to
purchase and install their
own meters.
However, just before the Ci-
ty pulled the individual
meters, a temporary restrain-
ing order was issued on June
17.
A letter received on June 26
from Bill Boyd, attorney for
the owners, stated that if the
owners could get “the
necessary information from
the city in a timely manner''
they could “investigate,
analyze and submit a plan for
resolving these concerns
within 90 days.”
Dashner then sent Boyd a
letter stating that he thought

The City Council discussed
at length the installation of
signalization along Hwy. 78
in regard to both
Brookshire's and Physicians
Regional Hospital at the
Tuesday, June 25 meeting.
A traffic study, that was
commissioned by
Brookshires, indicated that
there was enough traffic flow
volume to warrant signaliza-
tion. It recommends, in part,
that “the Brookshires
grocery company should seek
approval from the City of
Wylie and the State Depart-
ment of Highways and Public
Transportation for the in-
stallation of traffic signal
controls at its south driveway
intersection with SH 78."

News Closed
July Fourth
In observance of the In-
dependence Day holiday, The

Thursday, July 4.
We will be open for business
as usual at 8 a.m. Friday.
Best wishes for a happy holi-
day to our readers and adver-
tisers.
Weather
Thursday, July 4, would ap-
pear to be a typical summer
holiday, with the outlook for
near 100 degrees,
City Manager Bill Dashner
recommended that the Coun-
cil approve the study,
transmit it to the State and
request the following options:
(a) install the signals at State
expense; (b) allow the City to
install the signal according to
State specifications and the
State pay for it; or (c) if the
State will not agree to the
first two options, then the Ci-
ty will have to install the
signal at the expense of
Brookshire’s and the City.
Physicians Regional
Hospital's Chief Executive
Officer, Larry Wedekind, ad-
dressed the Council and told
them that two years ago he
and the real estate depart-
ment of Brookshire’s had
negotiated a joint access ease-
ment. He said they came to
an agreement, but then 19
months passed with no com-
munication. He said now the
store has received a state per-
mit to construct a private
road entrance connecting
their parking lots to Hwy. 78
"right next to the hospital's
northermost private road
connecting its medical office
building with Hwy. 78”.
Wedekind urged the City to
recommend to the Highway
Department to locate the
traffic signal at the
Hospital's main/emergency
entrance. The Council and the
City Manager told him that,
ultimately, the State would
determine where the signal
would be placed after they
had completed their study.
Regarding the old Super-
fresh grocery store, the Coun-
cil approved a resolution
declaring the building a
public nuisance and ordering
immediate compliance of the
City Building Code and Or-
dinance 88-28. Dashner
reported that the City Inspec-
tor, the Fire Marshall and the
City Engineer inspected the
building and documented
four major violations that
make it a public nuisance due
its unsafe and rundown condi-
tion. Cited were bad stability,
electrical, gas and plumbing
violations. The Resolution
Trust Corporation (RTCl
owns the property.
Dashner reported to the
Council that the Phase II
Hydrogeologic Investigation
of the City 's Municipal Land-
fill has been completed. The
report will be sent to the
State Department of Health
for review.
One of the general com-
ments in the report states:
“Based on the data developed
for this report, the concentra-
tions of organics found dur-
ing the most recent round of
sampling at the landfill do
not appear to be excessive.
The data presently suggests
minor concentrations of
volatile organics in the land-
fill leachate and acsociated
ground water.”
David Buchanan, whose
firm of Jones & Neuse, Inc.
prepared the report, told the
Council that Wylie's report
will be given top priority by
