lUtplar Council Meeting
December 27, 1963
Page 10
Mayor Barnard called for petitions or information from the audience on
matters not scheduled on the agenda.
Mrs. Levi Materne, Mr. Harry Grimm, Mrs, F. J. Graham, and others,
residents of Flour Bluff, appeared and complained to the Council about the opera-
tion of the Flour Bluff Water District where a money shortage has been admitted,
and urged that the City expedite negotiations with the Water District to take over
the operations so that the 79 -cent tax rate levied by the District can be dropped
and water rates lowered to rates charged by the City. Mr. Grimm dharged that the
directors are deliberately delaying the transaction "to get the few dollars they
do for attending the meetings". Mrs. Materne stated that an employee has been
dismissed following an audit showing an $1800 deficit, but that the employee has
not been publicly named; that the $1,000 employee bond does not cover the loss.
Mrs. Graham complained that she has not been able to get water to her residence.
The group also stated they wished to go on record opposing 1963 taxes being assess-
ed in Flour Bluff for the entire year.
Acting City Manager Marvin Townsend stated that for the City to take over
the Water District of Flour Bluff it would be necessary to actually buy the system
for the amount of the debt of more than half a million dollars. He also advised
that a joint meeting between the Water District and the City Council is scheduled
for January 6, 1964, which will be open to the press, and other interested persons,
at which time the matter will be resolved.
