RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, it is one of the basic responsibilities of the City of Nederland
to protect the life and property of its citizens through the operations of
efficient, reliable and affordable police and fire departments, and;
WHEREAS, there is documented evidence from all sectors of the State of
Texas that the 55 cities which today are under 1269m have seen their police
and fire chiefs transformed from managers into administrators by new limits
lobbied into the law every two years by unions representing the police officers
and firefighters, and;
WHEREAS, these increasingly harmful provisions have made 1269m a law which I
fosters wasteful expenditures and inefficient management at a time when cities
see revenue dwindling, and;
Minutes Continued, February 8, 1983 ,
WHEREAS, after long study and due deliberations, the 55 Texas cities under
1269m are joining in a concerted effort to amend the law in the upcoming Legisla-
ture by giving police and fire chiefs the power to manager their department, but
to retain portions of the law which give civil service employees necessary pro-
tections.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY OF NEDERLAND:
1. Believes that it is time to return common sense into Texas police and
fire stations by amending 1269m to allow police and fire chiefs to manage their
departments more effectively through the appointment of qualified deputies of
their choice, use of improved promotion system techniques, more reasonable
disciplinary rules and other relevant changes, and;
2. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Nederland supports the Texas
Municipal League's 1269m Task Force amendments to 1269m because it does address
issues which will return management back to police and fire chiefs, and;
3. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Nederland now calls on all
Texas Legislators, especially those representing the citizens of our city, to
support the Task Force legislation which makes the necessary changes to 1269m,
and:
4. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that every citizen of this city, every business
and the Chamber of Commerce, plus other organizations, take a stand in favor of
improvements to 1269m which will return common sense back to Texas police and
fire stations.

A motion was made by Mr. Sawyer and seconded by Mr. Gillespie to approve Resolution
on State Highway Funding. All Voted Aye.
RESOLUTION
The 72,000 -mile Texas highway system, once recognized as the best in the
nation, is deteriorating. According to studies of the Federal Highway Administra-
tion, Texas has 17,200 deficient bridges and 7,740 miles of highway rated in
poor condition. Motorists in all parts of the state are suffering from a
continuing loss of mobility. Major problems have been observed on Farm to
' Market roads, rural primary highways, Interstate routes, and urban freeways.
Minutes Continued, February 8, 1983
Current funding sources available to the State Department of Highways and
Public Transportation are inadequate to maintain the existing highway system and
to improve the system to keep up the growth of the state. It is estimated that
the state's population will increase 50% by the year 2000. This anticipated I
growth will place substantially higher demands on the state's transportation
facilities and services.
We urge the 68th Texas Legislature to act expeditiously to provide addi-
tional funding for highway construction and maintenance. We recommend that
the level of state funding for highways be at least equivalent to defined state
highway user fees and taxes. We further recommend that the state highway user
fees be increased if necessary to meet the highway funding needs documented
in the revised 20 -Year Plan of the State Department of Highways and Public
Transportation.

MAYOR PROTEM R. A. NUGENT: "ITEM Number three is receive a petition from
Mr, Al. Tarver and other residents of Luling Street opposing the proposed
access drive off of the 1100 block of Luling Street. Prior to getting into ,
the discussion of this item, we have had several factors called to our
attention since this action was taken and preceding any open statements,
which I will open it up to the public for comments in just a few minutes,
I would like to have our City Attorney, Mr. Smokey Sanderson, stand and
give us a summary of where we stand exactly on this particular item."
MR. SMOKEY SANDERSON: "It is my recommendation to the Mayor Protem and Council
that the Council rescind their prior action due to the fact that they went along
with Planning and Zoning in allowing a street on lots that are zoned residential
to be used as an accessory to commercial property. This just does not conform
to our present ordinances, therefore, again, I advise you that t4is just does
not conform and I recommend that you rescind that prior action and reject the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to allow a oadway across
residential property to commericial property. The reason for thit being that
it converts residential property to commercial property without $ rezoning."
F
COUNCILMAN TOM LEE: "I so move."
COUNCILMAN E. T. GILLESPIE: "Second."
MAYOR PROTEM NUGENT: "Any discussion? Mr. Tarver do you have any comments
to this?
MR. TARVER: "Well, since that it appears that the council is going to act in
our favor and we have already given ya'll copies of our petition, we feel
like ya'll will support us" (remainder of comment not clear).
MAYOR PROTEM NUGENT: "Is there any comment from anyone else in the audience?
If not we have a motion that we - -Oh, I beg your pardon, yes sir?"
MR. BILL WATKINS: "To the Councilmen and Mr. McDaniel, my name is Bill Watkins
and I am one of the proposed owners of the property that we are discussing
right now. I just would like to point out that we are not converting the zoning
of a residential lot to commercial property. There would be duplexes built
on those lots as the zoning requires. One of the big reasons for having that
access is for in case of a fire in the apartment project that we are going to
build. If there was a fire, it would be necessary and very advantageous
to have this access. There is only about five or six hundred feet of Luling
that the people, what few did use it, except for a fire, would be using to get
to 347. I would like to ask the Council to at least consider this and
perhaps make a further study or m�ybe the citizens would like to satisfy them-

rezone that twenty foot wide strip for that purpose? Are you saying it would

MR. SANDERSON: "I'm not sure about building streets on residential property.
The City could but I am just not sure about us, the City, having to rezone.
For instance, if we went in and condemned a piece of property, I don't believe
that we would have to rezone it, but, we would have to go in and condemn it
for City purposes."
MR. CASEY: "In other words, it would have to be dedicated to the City ?"
MR. SANDERSON: "It would take more than that. The City had a need for it,
dedicated to the City, City accept it."
MR. CASEY: "Well, the reason for doing this originally and the reason we came
here tonight, before we went any further with the project was because this
was a necessary part of the project and in our minds the project hinged on
whether or not we got this access and so we did come to the Planning and to
the Council and they both passed it allowing us to go ahead and get our
financing, which we have done, we've spent a lot of money on this project.
We got financing arranged, we are ready to build it and it should be a boom
to the City, not a hindrance. That is not our intentions, I would (section

time what I am saying, it is true, that it would not (section of comment not

comment not clear) and they are not going to be hurt by that access."
MR. SAWYER: "At this time the decision and the neighbors there have nothing
' to do with this. The fact is that we got to resend something we did inadver-
tently that wasn't covered by ordinance."
MR. SANDERSON. "That's right."
MR. CASEY: "I can understand your position. Is there any chance that we can
go another route into it ?"
MR. SANDERSON: "Are you addressing that to me, Mr. Casey?"
MR. CASEY: "Yes."
MR. SANDERSON: "O:K, the only way would be a rezoning."
MR. CASEY: "Would you venture the odds of getting that done ?"
MR. SANDERSON: "No sir, that's not my department."
MAYOR PROTEM NUGENT: "Thank you, Mr. Casey. Anyone else? If not, we have
a motion and a second that we do resend and reject the action taken previously
by the Council in reference to the access drive off of Luling. Please Vote.
All Voted Aye.
