t Records Consultapt Hired
The City Council agreed to hire
Records Consultants, Inc., San Anto-
nio, to implement a records retention
program for the City of Clifton.
■*' Services to be performed ynclude
forming a complete records retention
' plan, setting up a records retention
center, and preparation of a letter^f
destruction intent to be 6ent to the1
Texas State Library.
‘‘We bring in an experienced team to
review every box and file drawer of
documents at your office and storage
areas," said Sales Consultant Robert O.
Chandler, Jr., in a letter to City Secre-
tary M E. (Betty) Barron.
Alderman Held questioned why an
outside firm had to be hired to perform
functions he thought should be done
by the city office’fc staff. ,
Rarron replied that regulations
passed by the Texas Legislature are
extensive and must be tailored to a
city’s specific needs. Barron said she
felt that the firm will do a more accu-
rate and complete job.
After passing with a unanimous vote,
Held said he hoped the office will not
have to hire the firm to perform such
tasks in the future.
Council Directs Public
Hearings To Clos« North
Avenue I
The City Council agreed to hold pub-
lic hearings for input on a proposal to
close North Avenue I at its .intersec-
tion with State Highway 6. The
Council’s recommendation comes after
an extensive traffic study by the Clif-
ton Police Department.
Clifton Police Chief Jim Vanderhoof
told the Council that accidents at the
intersection are more than in’general,
and that many motorists find the in-
tersection difficult to maneuver in.
Mayor Blum expressed concern that
problems will increase with the antici-
pated opening of the ALCO discount
store and the new nursing home facil-
ity in that area.
If the Council approves the closure,
a barrier will he placed at the inter-
section. Another barrier will be placed
farther south on Avenue I. Pavement
between the two barriers will be re-
moved to inhibit vehicles driving
around the barricades'.
Ambulance Report
President Tom Jesseph,! ef T-M«d,
Inc., reported on a problem his ambu-
lance company has experienced with
Temple’s Scott and White Hospital.
“We depend on our transfers to sup-
port our emergency services. If we lose
them, it cuts into those services,” said
Jesseph.
He termed a transfer a$ the trans-
portation of a patient from the local
hospital to another location. He said
that Scott and V'hite ambulances had
made several transfers in recent weeks.
A verbal agreement was reached
between T-Med and the Bell County
hospital to not infringe upon each
other's transfer territory. T-Med has a
similar verbal agreement with Ameri-
can Medical Transport, Waco;
Jesseph wanted the Council to'be
aware of the situation in case the non-
binding agreement is broken in the
future.
T-Med currently employs four full-
time and 10 part-time employees. A
total of 191 runs were ifiade from Janu-
ary through April. Of those calls, 108
were emergency runs, and 83 were
patient transfers.
Animal Ordinance Amended
Emergency amendments to the ani-
mal control ordinance were approved
by the Council. Chief Vanderhoof told
the council he was advised that the
current ordinance did not comply with
state regulations.
*We need to adopt the state laws to
ensure proper rabies enforcement,” said
the chief.
Changes in wording to sections gov-
erning notice, impoundment, and en-
forcement were made to comply with
state restrictions.

Mayor Blum said that bids had been
opened last month, but were not in line
to allow the bid pedtage to be accepted.

structure to allow acceptance. ■'
Baromeo had originally estimated
the project at $494,00. The total bid
received was near $700,000.
Changes in requirements of tank
shape and coatings, as well as drop-
ping piping originally thought to be
needed, brought the cost overrun to
within $31,000 of the original estimate,
Baromeo told the Council.
“1 thyik this is as good a deal as
we’re going to get," said Mayor Blum.
The Council agreed to proceed with the
project at the new price.

tion were canvassed by the Council and

intersection of North Avenue D and
West 5th Street. The study was insti-
gated after Mayor Blum received re-
quests from local, merchants for the
four-way stop.

• installed through the intersection.
