-20th. Of Each Month-
Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be
purchased. It is never for sale. It comes to us
when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet
places, when we suddenly realize that, knowing
the good, we have done it: knowing the beauti-
ful, we have served it; knowing the truth, we
have spoken it.
LEGALIZED BINGO NOT FOR
TEXANS UNTIL 1982
AUSTIN, Tex. - State
Comptroller Bob Bullock's of-
fice warned that it will be early
1982 before Texans can con-
duct and play legal bingo and
cautioned against fraudulent
claims that legal bingo has
already arrived in Texas.
George Garland, director of
the Bingo Regulation Division,
said the new bingo law also re-
quires a local option election
before games can be held.
Fie said because of the lan-
guage in the law the earliest
date a local option election can
be scheduled would be January
16, 1982.
"Any game before that time
and before the sponsor holds a
license from the Comptroller's
office is an illegal bingo game -
just like it's always been,"
Garland said.
The Legislature this year
legalized bingo games spon-
sored by charitable, educa-
tional, religious and civic
organizations.
The law also provides that
sponsoring organizations must
be licensed by the
Comptroller's office.
Garland said local option
elections to play bingo can be
called on a city-wide, county or
justice of the peace precinct
basis.
City Council Notes
Student Medication Policy
Revised
If approved locally, Garland
said, the governing jurisdiction
can also impose a two percent
gross receipts tax on the games.
Garland said each applicant
for a bingo license will be in-
vestigated to assure that the
organization qualifies under
the law.
"We are not going to permit
any fly-by-night operations,
and unauthorized games will
be subject to the penal code
concerning gambling," he
said.
"Nothing's legal without a
license from the state," he
said.
He also said the new law will
also limit bingo games to three
a week and the amount of
prizes in a single game to '500
and *2,300 for a series of
games.
Garland said the Comp-
troller's office would be ready
to issue bingo licenses to
authorized organizations as
soon as local option elections
are certified.
He said the agency would
also be adopting rules and
regulations in time for Texans
to conduct legal .bingo games.
OCTOBER 12, 1981
Mayor Anderson opened the
regular meeting at 7:30 p.m..
All members were present ex-
cept councilman Scarborough.
Councilman Bailey had been
checking on the city's in-
surance policy and he discussed
it with the council. He said
coverage could be doubled for
the same price, on the policies
he had checked on. Council
approved Morris-Apple Agen-
cy for all insurance except for
the fire department.
Chip MacLelland of Mes-
quite, who is working on the
Regional Transportation
Council for Dallas County,
briefly explained the need for
regional transportation. Com-
missioner Nancy Judy told the
council that several cities have
expressed support of the Re-
gional Transportation Council
and the cost would be 25c per
capitol and Sachse's cost
would be l403.00. It was also
proposed to levy a lc sales tax.
An election is now scheduled
for January, 1983 on this pro-
posal.
Ms. Judy said that no
federal money is expected and
only local money from fare
boxes and sales taxes will pay
for Regional Transportation
Council.
No decision was made on
this by the council, but No-
vember 1, 1981 is the deadline
for cities to join and support
the Regional Transportation
Council. '403.00 would be
Sachse's cost the first year.
The mayor asked Commis-
sioner Judy if a meeting could
be held to discuss Sachse. Ms.
Judy stated she would be glad
to meet with the council and
discuss what services the coun-
ty had to offer Sachse and
what could be done on the
roads and streets.
Joe Stone, fire chief, asked
the council for some guidelines
on the purchase of a new fire
truck. Chief Stone invited the
council and interested citizens
to meet on October 15, 1981 at
the fire station to view a truck.
Anderson explained that
Judge Spies needed an updated
traffic violation fine schedule
as there was a need for some
changes. This will be discussed
at a later date.
Misc. building permit fees
was discussed. Council approv-
ed a permit fee of '15.00 on all
misc. permits, fences, etc. and
'50.00 on above ground or in
ground swimming pools.
The rhajtor' reported that
after a meeting with the park
board an agreement on an or-
dinance had been reached. Or-
dinance #299 was approved on
curfew at the ball park. (See
complete ordinance elsewhere
in the newspaper.)
Councilman Gordon asked
that a letter of appreciation be
sent to the Cify <?f Garland for
their help and assistance.
Council agreed.
Gordon also asked that a let-
ter of thanks and appreciation
be sent to GISD for their atten-
dance at a past council meet-
ing. Council agreed.
Gordon extended an invita-
tion to the council to attend
Galand Scouting Day celebra-
tion on October 24 in Garland.
Anderson stated he had met
with Garland officials and a
jail contract had been agreed
upon for Sachse's use ol
Garland's jail facilities.
Garland agrees to hold up to
six prisioners per weekend for
Sachse, at the cost of '17.50
per day. Anderson said the
contract is a six part contract
that spells out what each city
will be responsible for. Council
approved the contract for one
year. Contract has a renewable
clause.
Mayor Anderson updated
the council on the water
department, explaining that
the city now has a new water
superintendent, Gale Davis.
He said Mr. Davis had already
been to school in order to
receive his license as a ceritificd
water person.
Anderson also discussed
with the council the engineer-
ing expenses for the Sachse
South drainage problem. He
said the statement presented
was for *4,021.91 and about
80% of this was for Sachse
South drainage. "This is about
one-third of our budget for this
year in professional services,
we need to look for a new
engineer," Anderson said.
