Item #2: Citizens' Presentations: Jerry Dinsmore of 4101 Aspen Lane spoke asking the Board to consider rezoning the area around Aspen Lane, making the zoning 5 acre lots instead of 1 acre lots.

Stan Parchman of Ottinger Lane asked when the repairs will be made on the roads that are in Denton County. Mayor Bradley told Mr. Parchman that Fred Held is forming a committee to look into the repair and upkeep of the roads and this matter would be brought to his attention.

Item #5: Consider a resolution authorizing efforts to (a) dissolve Lake Turner Municipal Utility District No. 1, Lake Turner Municipal Utility District No. 2, and Lake Turner Municipal Utility District No. 3 and (b) secure water and sewer facilities for the Town. Motion by Al Oien, seconded by Howard Dudley, to approve Resolution 96-13. Mayor Bradley then asked if there was any discussion of this resolution. David Bryant of Hughes & Luce, L.L.P., representing Hiilwood/Willow Bend, Ltd., asked the Board if tax money was to be used in this effort, how much has been budgeted and if this amount will be disclosed to the public at any point? Mayor Bradley responded by stating that the Town would rather negotiate with the MUDs and not have to spend any money. He further stated that since the Town has no ad valorem tax it is not required to have a budget, but there is money in the bank to fund this effort. Also this amount would be subject to the Open Records Act. Steve Sallman, representing the Lyda Hunt Bunker Trust, voiced his opposition to the resolution, stating that Lake Turner Municipal Utility District No. 1 is negotiating with the Town in good faith for the dissolution of Lake Turner Municipal Utility district No. 1 and that the section in the resolution authorizing legislative action to dissolve the MUDs would hinder the ongoing negotiations. Mayor Bradley assured Mr. Sallman that the resolution is not intended to hamper the ongoing negotiations, as the agreement to dissolve Lake Turner Municipal District No. 1 will hopefully be in place before the next Legislative session starts. Mayor Bradley called for a vote on the motion. There was one vote for and one vote against. The motion failed for lack of a majority. There was a motion made by Howard Dudley, seconded by Jerry Moore, to adopt Resolution 96-13, except striking out the references to Lake Turner Municipal District No. 1.
