Following a motion to termi-

derman Fred Volcansek, and
[seconded by Alderman David
‘Anderson, the motion passed
unanimously
Following the meeting,
Zuehlke said that at the “end of
the day there was significant
•reason to terminate the agree-
ment”
[ During the meeting the coun-
cil also approved a total budget
•of $397,443 and a tax rate of
[.3377.
[ Two visitors spoke during the
•budget discussion, the first be-
ing Damaris Neelley, director of
the Clifton Main Street pro-
gram, requesting she be made
full-time director, instead of
{only working 32 hours a week,
'adding that the full load of
projects that she is handling
needs more time at the office.
The second person, Betty
Flores, asked that the city con-
sider tearing out the wooden
platform at the municipal swim-
ming pool and replacing it with
concrete and a roof.
* Following the executive ses-
sion, the council agreed to add
the necessary (approximate)
$8,900 for Main Street and
to non-compliance of current
regulations, the county would
have to become current before
it could apply for the program.
He said that the flood plain
administrator, Dewey Ratliff,
has not done any inspections
and no permits have been
made by the county for any
work in the flood plain areas of
the county.
“This is a deficiency in com-
pliance to the regulations,” said
Bartley “If a community does
not comply it will be expelled
from the Federal Flood Insur-
ance program and will not be al-
lowed to receive other federal
assistance in the future.”
He noted that all the other
counties in the area are also out
of compliance.
Judge Word said that it might
work best to get a regional plan
working through the Heart of
Texas Council of Governments
to help all the counties come
into compliance.
Jimmy Woodard, a Emer-
gency Services District (ESD)
coordinator, also spoke to the
court regarding the formation
of an ESD in the county The
formation of the district will be
on the ballot in November, and
he explained the need for the
citizens to understand what
they are voting for or against.
Woodard said that the district
would be a taxing entity of the
county; however, the State Con-
stitution has already set a limit
on any taxing by the entity to a
maximum of .10 per $100 valu-
ation.
“This is a way to raise some
of the necessary funds to sup-
port the fire departments, first
response units, emergency
communications, and ambu-
lances,” said Woodard.
If the county as a whole votes
for the ESD, but a city does not
want to be a part of it, or votes
against it, they would lose any
benefits from the District.
“If the voters in a city vote
against the plan, they lose use
of the funds through the taxa-
tion for any of the city’s depart-
ments,” he added. “They would
then have to privatize their
emergency units.”
Forming the district will help
improve equipment, training, ser-
vice, response, and help improve
the cost to homeowners on their
insurance, he added
He told the court that there are
already258ESDs in place in Ttexas

WALNUT SPRINGS — The
29th Annual Bosque County
Hay Show will be held on Sat-
urday Oct. 20, at the Commu-
nity Center in Walnut f

Ted Whitt of Walnut
co-chairpersons of the Hay
Show Committee.
Deadline for entering hay in
the 2007 show is Friday, Sept.
28. Round bales as well as con-
ventional small square bales
can be entered. Producers with
round bales may enter the en-
tire bale or just a sample of the
bale. Those who wish to have
hay in the show are asked to
take their conventional bales or
samples from their round bales
to their Vo-Ag instructor by
Thursday, Sept. 27, or bring
their square bales, round bales,
or round bale samples to the
Hay Show sampling location at
the Walnut Springs Ag Shop
between 9 a.m. and noon on
Friday, Sept. 28. Samples will be
taken from the conventional
bales and round bales on the
28th so that the protein analy-
sis can be made.
There will be a $5 charge for
the first bale entered. Two tick-
ets for a barbecue meal will be
provided at no cost to the pro-
ducer. For additional entries, $1
per bale for each round bale
entry and each conventional
bale entry will be charged. En-
trants will receive a $20 forage
test, $10 meal, and a chance for
$100 which makes the $5 entry
fee a good bargain, said a
spokesman.

samples. The locations are W.
