King road remain open as a temporary entrance with the understanding it is not an approved legal planned entrance; but it's being used as one and; further the entrance is important to our emergency services for the health and welfare of our residents and as a convenience and; still further the residents need to be informed that a permanent solution or entrance is being actively pursued by the Council. -Mr. Lou Opipare, Fire Chief of Trophy Club, suggested closing the T.W. King entrance with metal poles and a chain so it could be used for emergency purposes. Mr. Opipare explained that on occasion Indian Creek floods, preventing emergency vehicles from getting to that side of Trophy Club, therefore there needs to be some way to be able to access that entrance on an emergency basis. -Mr. Toby Bartholow, attorney for the Town, stated that he feels the Town would be insulated from liability. Mr. Bartholow pointed out there are exceptions but his law firm views this to be a remote case.
