PRESENTATIONS BY CITIZENS
Beverly Foley, Town Resident, wished to discuss two unrelated
issues. The first was a presentation to the Town Council to
consider a Community Garden whereby residents could rent
plots to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers. She said that
she was in the process of locating land and wanted to learn
4
which Town ordinances needed compliance for this project.
The other issue regarded the Town's annual inspection of the
townhouses and apartments. She questioned the legality of the
ordinance in regard to her constitutional right to privacy.
Ms. Foley also reported that the cities of Arlington and
Dallas are only charged $ &.00 per unit in comparison to our
$ 25.00.
Mayor Carter responded that the ordinance is a driving force
to protect the residents, and the property owners are very
supportive of this service. He added that the Council and
Staff would review the ordinance with the Town Attorney
concerning her question.
STAFF AND COMMITTEE REPORTS

complications the ordinance was amended to combine into one
year the years 2014 and 2015 which then shortened the last

9 cents of tax revenues deposited into the interest and
Sinking Fund goes toward this debt reduction.
