Definition of this Facade Material
Cinder blocks are masonry units made of concrete,
often mixed with coal cinders. They are usually
hollow with holes on two sides. Sometimes the holes
are configured to form geometric patterns (e.g.
pinwheels), and stacked with the holes facing
outward. Cinder blocks are very often painted,
unless used as a back or side facade material. Size
standards vary by country.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 1-3-2005
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.12
Consent Agenda: Discuss and take appropriate action to ratify a Proclamation,
designating April 3, 2004 as the official Arbor Day for Trophy Club.
EXPLANATION:
(AA)
Attachments: 1. Proclamation
Whereas, In 1872 J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set
aside for the planting of trees, and
Whereas, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in
Nebraska, and
Whereas, 2004 is the 132nd anniversary of the holiday and Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation
and the world, and
Whereas, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, cut heating and cooling costs,
moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce life-giving oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife,
and
Whereas, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires, and beautify
our community, and
Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
Now, Therefore, I, SCOTT SMITH, Mayor of the Town of Trophy Club, Texas, do hereby proclaim April 3, 2004
as the 132nd anniversary celebration of
Arbor Day
In the Town of Trophy Club, and I urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect our trees
and woodlands, and
Further, I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-being of this and future
generations.
Dated this 6th day of December 2004.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 1-3-2005
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.13
Consent Agenda: Discuss and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance
repealing Town Ordinance No. 2003-18, and adopting new provisions appointing a
presiding judge, alternate judges and a court clerk for the Trophy Club Municipal
Court of Record No. 1.
EXPLANATION:
Ordinance number 2003-18 expires on September 30, 2005; however, due to a change in court
personnel, Ordinance No. 2003-18 is being amended to appoint a new Court Clerk. Rather than
simply amending a portion of the ordinance in December 2004 and re-appointing in September
2005, Ordinance No. 2003-18 is being submitted to Council for repeal and a proposed new
ordinance is presented for adoption. While it is not required to re-appoint municipal judges after
the Town’s Charter election, it seemed an appropriate action to avoid any possible issues with
that transition in the future. The proposed ordinance renews the appointment of the currently
serving Presiding Judge and Alternate Judges and appoints a Court Clerk.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 1-3-2005
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.14
Consent Agenda: Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a revision to
paragraph 8, entitled "Pooling", of the oil and gas mineral lease-non-drill site
pooling agreement for the development of the Town's interest in Harmony Park by
and between the Town and Star Of Texas Energy Services, Inc., a substantial copy
of which is attached hereto; and authorizing the Mayor or his designee to execute
necessary documents.
EXPLANATION:
After the last Council meeting, Star of Texas acting through their attorney, Rob Durbin, proposed a
change to the pooling agreement for Harmony Park. They proposed a revision to paragraph 8 of that
agreement that would change the number of units pooled from 160 to 380. They contend that this is
necessary because they have changed their plans and now only intend to drill one well site on the adjacent
property. That decision is good for the Town because it decreases the number of well sites from 2 to 1.
When negotiating the lease, the Town’s oil and gas attorney (Will Abney) informed me that as the
number of units pooled increase, the amount of money that the Town receives decreases. I asked Mr.
Durbin about this and his response was that the units pooled would decrease but the production would
increase so that the revenue to the Town would not be impacted. Since that date, I have spoken with Will
Abney about the proposed change and he has confirmed that the information they are giving us about
increased production is “technically correct”. He recommended that the Town agree to the amendment.
Because of Star’s drilling schedule, we had to respond to them on the proposed change prior to the
December 6, 2004 Council meeting. We informed Star that the change would be administratively
approved pending ratification by the Town Council at the December 6, 2004 meeting.
The revision to Paragraph 8 is the only change in the Agreement previously approved by Town Council.
(PAA)
RECOMMENDATION: Approval is recommended based upon the opinion of the Town’s oil
and gas attorney, Will Abney.
