Mayor Elect Carter welcomed three leaders in the Community:
Jerry Svore, President of M.U.D. #1 Directors- Mr. Svore
congratulated the City Council on winning the election. He

C.I.A. will work with the City in any way they may be of
help. Mr. Best also stated that the C.I.A. would loan the
City the money it needs to get started interest free.

Presentations by Citizens -
Richard Chalk, 10 Biltmore Court- Mr. Chalk directed his first
question to Mr. Lattie Woods, Independent American. Question:
Since Trophy Club is incorporated, will the Developer continue
to help financially with the Sports Association? Mr. Woods
stated that Independent American has proposed a plan that
would have any group seeking financial support, such as the
Sports Association, present their plan and budget requests
to Independent American, and they in turn would work through
the C.I.A. to funnel these funds to the various groups.
Mr. Chalk's next question was directed to Larry Best. Question:
Why are there three C.I.A.'s and possibly more in the future?
Mr. Best stated that as the City took over the different
functions of the C.I.A.'s, the need for the C.I.A.'s would
diminish.
Mr. Chalk had two suggestions for the new Council;
1. He would like to see the City Council and the Developer work
together on the Master Plan to assure that Trophy Club will
be the unique Community it started out to be.
2. Mr. Chalk requested that all meetings between the City
Council and Developer be documented and the information should
be made available to the Public. Mayor Carter thanked Mr.
Chalk for his comments.
The next Citizen to speak was Ed Hpyden. Mr. Hayden stated
that the reason he felt most people were there was to see
the new Council sworn in and to wish them luck. Mayor Carter
thanked Mr. Hayden for his vote of confidence.
The next item on the agenda was new business. Mr. Carter stated
that the minutes were being taken by Donna Welsh. He also ex-
plained to the audiance that the meeting was being recorded
and video taped.
The next item on the agenda was to elect a Mayor Pro -Tem. Mayor
Carter explained that the Mayor Pro -Tem would preside at a
Council meeting in the event the Mayor was unable to attend. This
postion is elected by the Council members, but does not hold any
higber rank than any other Council member. Councilman Nein enberger
asked that before electing a Mayor Pro -Tem, he would like the
Council to consider the question of tenure. He had read that
the Board could draw by lot to have two members of the Council serve
for a two year term. After much discussion and an opinion by John
Boyle, an Attorney attending the meeting, it was clarified that
this first Council would have a one year term. There was no further
discussion on this matter and Councilman Neidenberger withdrew
his motion.
Mayor Carter opened the floor for nominations for the office of
Mayor Pro -Tem. Councilman Vance nominated Councilman Doran for
the office of Mayor Pro -Tem, Mayor Carter asked if there was a
second to the motion. Mayor Carter stated that the motion dies
for lack of second.

Mayor Carter asked for another nomination from the Council.
Councilman Neidenberger nominated Councilman Dayton for the
office of Mayor Pro -Tem. Mayor Carter asked the Board if
there was a second, there was none. Motion dies for lack
of second. Mayor Carter tabled this item and it will be on
next month's agenda.
The next item under New Business was to explain the formation
of two new Committees to be set up by the City Council. Mayor
Carter explained the purposes of each Committee:
Planning and Zoning- Mayor Carter stated that throughout
the Incorporation effort, the people spoke very loudly about
their concerns with the Master Plan. He stressed the need
for the Citizens, City Council, and Developer to work together
to develop a workable plan for the future of Trophy Club.
The Committee would initially consist of a Chairman and four
members. The people should have an interest and some talent
or ability in the planning and zoning area. The people serving
on this Committee should not have any personal interest or
anything to gain by serving. Mayor Carter asked the people
at the meeting to talk to friends and neighbors who might
be interested in serving on this committee. If people are
interested, they should get in touch with a Council member
before April 29. The Council will meet with anyone interested
in serving on the Committee.
Security Study- Mayor Carter stated that Security had become
a very important item lately with the fast growth in Trophy
Club. This new Committee would be led by David Nolte, Town
Marshal. The Committee would work with the current Security,
and with any other group with an interest in this area. Anyone
interested should follow the same format as mentioned for
the Planning and Zoning Committee.
Mayor Carter thanked everyone for attending the first City
Council meeting for the City of Trophy Club. The following
meetings will be held on the second and fourth Monday nights
of the month.
Councilman Martignago made the motion to adjourn, Councilman
Neidenberger seconded, motion carried unanimously.
