City Avoids
Duplication
In Planning
Jacksboro City Commis-
sion Tuesday night postponed
immediate actiononafederal-
state*city cooperative pro-
gram in order to save money
through use of another avail-
able program.
City, regional and state re-
presentatives agreed to accept
certain survey work -already
being done by the’Nortex Re-
gional Planning Commission,
in which Jacksboro holds
membership, rather than hav-
ing to pay for duplicate work
to be done by the state agen-
cy. The survey, including a
workable city plan, is a re-
quirement for application for
the federal assistance.
Meeting with the commis-
sion in special early session
were James Delashaw, Gov-
ernor’s Office, Division of
State and Local Relations; Ed
Daniel, executive director,
and Bob Mowery, assistant
director, Nortex Regional
Planning Commission, Wi-
chita Falls.
Representing the city were
Mayor F. C. Heard, Com-
missioners Ira Fowler and
Harry Schlittler, City Super-
intendent Henry Tate, City
Attorney Jim Spiller and City
Clerk Edith MiUer.
The city had previously
made arrangements with
Delashaw to share expenses
with state and federal gov-
ernments for preparation w-
der the HUD program of an
area survey which would in-
clude a base map with eco-
nomic, population, housing,
data collection, goals and ob-
jective factors.
Since much of the infor-
mation is being collected by
Nortex in a current seven
county water and sewer sur-
vey, the commission voted
to accept this part of the
survey from Nortex and to
<:ake another look at the fed-
:ral program later.
Also Tuesday night the com-
mission voted to begin work
on the school safety program
agreed upon by both city and
school administrations, in-
cluding preparing an ordi-
nance and getting painting
started.
Additional paving and street
work, extension of water and
sewer lines and maintenance
at Lake Jacksboro also were
discussed by the commission.
