wanted to get as many as possible out of the way now; and asked that the applica-
tion be granted subject to approval by the Railroad Commission and by the City
Inspection Department.

Manager Whitney to grant the permit subject to approval of the Railroad Commission
Permit and location site.
City Manager Whitney asked Mr. Brooke about the City's mineral interest
in the well if it should be a producer, and Mr. Brooke replied that it was his
opinion that Cities were forbidden to be "operators" of oil and gas wells, and that
the only alternative would be for the City to share as a royalty interest owner on
the basis of one-eighth royalty interest.
Mayor Pro Tan Blackmon stated that he did not want to pre -judge an
application; that a site inspection must be made; and that he was not ready to
hear the application or vote on it at this time.

check out the application; that Council would not be giving up any regulatory
powers; and that Council would be doing away with some of the criticism on delay.
Mr. Brooke pointed out that the application was approved by the Legal
Department with one or two exceptions; that the Council could decide today on
the variances; that the only question was approval of the location site; and that
in the past Council had granted applications for him subject to certain provisions
being complied with. Mr. Brooke stated the application had been ready the past
two weeks awaiting survey of the location; and urged the Council to act on the
application today.

The foregoing ordinance was read for the third time and passed finally,
as amended, by the following vote: Furman, Blackmon, Dunne, Jimenez, McDaniel,
Sizemore and Wallace, present and voting "Aye."
Mayor Furman stated that he felt the ordinance or resolution should allow
a time element in filing of all applications; that a minimum of twenty-four hours
should be allowed to study these applications so that the City Staff would have
adequate time to check the applications; and that he felt it was too much to ask
the Staff to give up their lunch hour when it was not an emergency.
Mayor Pro Tem Blackmon concurred whole-heartedly with Mayor Furman's
statements, and stated the purpose of the Workshop was to come to some conclusion
for the Wednesday Council meeting; and that unless it was a bona -fide emergency,
he felt the Agenda should be closed on Monday night.
Following a discussion relative to expediting matters that come before
the Council, Mayor Furman stated that matters should be handled in a business -like
procedure; that matters should be expedited as they come before the Council, but
that he could not see any emergency in the application presented earlier in the
meeting.
Assistant City Attorney Young advised that the drilling ordinance does
not specify a time for filing applications; that this could be Council "Standard
Operating Procedures" or City Manager "Standard Operating Procedures," with
some notification to the oil companies, and that it did not necessarily have to
be in ordinance form.
Mr. A. Frank appeared before the Council and requested permission to park
a trailer house on a Lot on Gibaons Lane near Highway 44.
City Manager Whitney advised that he would check into the matter and
present it at Workshop Tuesday night, February lat.
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting
was adjourned.
