The State is now ready to let bids in March. They have letter of agreement that the City will participate by $37,000 and they need both copies signed by the Mayor and each Councilmember. Mr. Gilmore said that $25,000 of that amount would come from Barshop. B. Our police department is sponsoring four courses, conducted by the FBI. Invitations have gone out to the other cities and will be free to them. 65 Jot) t{0~ I) f) C. Eric White is asking clarification of the building code, which states you must have a f ire wall between storage and warehouse. He will only be using this particular building temporarily for storage until he can get another storage building built. It would cost him over $18,000 to put in the fire wall and it would have to be removed later. The Fire Chief is present tonight and he feels that Eric White has complied with more than we have required. Mr. Melton agreed and said they will have sufficient sprinklers also. Mr. Gilmore said he felt the code is speaking of permanent warehouse and storage facilities. Mr. Greenwald said he recommended Council grant approval but if the other building is not started within 24 months, Mr. White must have that fire wall installed. Concensus of Council was to agree with this recommendation. D. Mr. Graham, Streets and Parks super intendent, has been qfo I 10;) appointed to the Recreation Supervision SChool-Industry a Cooperative Committee for the Texas State Technical Institute. /0 / E.

The need for this is getting more acute. F. AACOG representatives will be corning out Wednesday to discuss new street mapping, whereby we can list our priorities, etc. G. Have been visiting with the Highway Department again and they are trying to corne up with some more costs. We think we can use the railroad right of way as a duel use, which will help as far as FM 78 is concerned. H. Council has no doubt heard that they are moving dirt in Live Oak Hills.
