OBITUARIES
LAY
We celebrate the short, yet ful-
filled, life of Robert “Bob” Lay,
of Dallas who passed away on
the evening of Wednesday
August 26, 2007.
Born in San Diego, CA, on
August 13, 1954, he served two
tours in Vietnam as a Navy Seal
and was passionately patriotic.
Recently relocated from The
Colony, Bob, co-owner of Bob’s
Kitchen and KL Creations,
worked with his wife, Kim, for
the last 8 years.
Simply put, Bob was an amaz-
ing man. He was known for his
quick wit, practical jokes, gen-
erous nature and incredible
love and commitment to his
wife. He was an avid history
buff, marine enthusiast, fabu-
lous cook and John Wayne
fanatic.
Taken from the movie “The
Shootist,” Bob lived his life by
these words: “I won’t be
wronged, I won’t be insulted, I
won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t
do these things to other people
and I require the same from
them.”
He will be missed by all, but his
spirit will live on within us.
Bob is survived by his wife,
Kim Lentscher Lay of Dallas
and sons, Chris and Bryan Lay
of San Diego.
Bob’s life will be celebrated
with an open house to be held
at his home in Dallas on
Saturday, October 6, 2007, from
noon to 4 p.m.
Memorials may be made to the
Robert J. Lay Memorial Fund,
c/o North Dallas Bank & Trust,

expansion for the city’s Police
and Courts Building. The esti-
mated design cost is $275,000
based upon construction costs.
Council member John
Marshall expressed concerns
about the source of the funding
because it could come from a
SIB loan budget item that could
be cut based upon the council’s
vote Sunday night to trim the
2007-08 budget by $350,000.
“While I think this is one of
the most important projects, if
not the most important project
(in the budget), the fact
remains, we haven’t funded it,”
Marshall said.
“Let’s hope we get that budg-
et issue solved in two weeks,”
Mayor John Dillard said.

here,” Marshall said. “We look
silly. It seems we are dilly-dally-
ing here.”
Dillard said he didn’t under-
stand why the council was
revisiting the tax rate and budg-
et after two months of work
sessions and special meetings.
It’s “an interesting turn of
events at the last minute. I’m
flabbergasted frankly.”
Mikulec and McCourry said
they needed more time to
review possible cuts that
extended past the Sept. 17 vote.
“The lights were kind of
slow coming on in my head,”
Mikulec said about his effort to
learn from Cheatham about
what effects any cuts would
have on the city’s finances.
Marshall questioned the fis-
cal prudence of cutting taxes,
citing the city’s forthcoming
ventures into the capital market
for loans.
“We spent a lot of time work-
ing on this budget. There may
be some fat in there, but I can’t
identify it,” Marshall said.

glary alarm reported at 3600

Marshall asked those favor-
ing cuts to specify exactly what
items should be deleted or
reduced.
McCourry responded that,
while in the past council mem-
bers had provided line item
cuts, the prevailing practice
was to direct staff members to
cut a lump sum from the budg-
et, and the city manager and his
department heads would find a
way to make the budget work.
He said the council’s philos-
ophy in recent years has been
to continually and incremental-
ly reduce property taxes, not
cleave them in one fell swoop.
“It was never to say “Let’s
jump off a cliff,” he said.
Mikulec, who reversed his
vote from two weeks ago, said
he was trying to save money for
The Colony residents after hav-
ing more time to review the
budget.
“We’re looking at a way to
cut taxes without cutting pro-
grams,” he said
The mayor said city services
would pay the price the more
the city cuts its taxes.
“We’re playing with fire here
because of the needs we have,”
he said.
