“But one-on-one is a different ball-
game,” he said. “If I have the facts
and have prepared, I could make a
pretty good case.”
Terrell defeated incumbent Alan
Fyke in the election by 150 votes.
“I was shocked,” he said. “It was
a total shock. A bunch of the guys
who had helped me set up my cam-
paign gathered at Shamrock Subs.
Then Noel Crume walked in. Then a
friend of his walked in and said,
‘Well, I’ve got good news and bad
news.’ I figured I had lost because
Alan was a tough opponent.
Terrell continued, “I guess one of
the reasons I won is because, the
whole time, I thought I was behind.
Anyway, this guy says, ‘I’ve got one so far, we haven’t seen any econo-

WHO HAS HAD THE
GREATEST INFLUENCE ON
YOUR LIFE? “My father,
Eugene. I would have to split it
between my dad and my uncle.
From the management stand-

“I can’t speak for the past city
council because I didn’t come to ev-
ery meeting. But the council we
have now, we’re headed in the right
direction.”
“There are a lot of major com-
panies that won’t even look at a city
until it breaks 20,000,” he said. “A
lot of your major restaurants and
businesses like that won’t come here
until we grow. We’re now at that
plateau.”

Construction on the project,
which will take place in McKinney on

is scheduled to begin in October and
to be completed in October 1993.
“HDR really doesn’t want to move
on — and neither do we — until we

said. “I really do feel that an agree-

He said the request for a fee in-

firm stemmed from their belief they
had done work during the design
phase of the project, and would con-

million contract.
“It revolves around a varying de-

rest of the building by floor-to-ceiling walls.
Commissioner Phyllis Cole voiced reservations about
the policy during the meeting Monday, saying it “discri-
minates against people who don’t have private offices.”
Witherspoon suggested implimenting “a weaning
period” whereby county employees who smoke could do
so in designated locations of a county building for a
certain amount of time until they had adjusted.
County Administrator Bob Lindberg was instructed
by commissioners to look into the possibility of im-
plimenting such a phase-in period to the smoking order
and also was asked to put together a list of programs in
the area that help people quit smoking.
“If that will get them off cigarettes, that would be
better than sending them to a doctor any day,” Hoagland
said.
The Collin County Commissioners’ Court is tentative-:
ly scheduled to consider Lindberg’s findings at a July 8
meeting.
