Regular Council Meeting <br />July 9, 2012 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Godwin told City Council that several citizens had approached the City of Paris <br />about honoring country music artist Gene Watson. He said they specifically requested a portion <br />of 6th Street N.E. which is inside the Red River Valley Fairgrounds, be renamed Gene Watson <br />Street. <br />A Motion to rename the street was made by Council Member Frierson and seconded by <br />Council Member Drake. Motion carried, 6 ayes - 0 nays. <br />14. Discuss and act on Roger Stripland sewer issues. <br />Mayor Pro-Tem Grossnickle said that Mr. Stripland and his attorney could not be at the <br />meeting and said they should postpone this item to the next regularly scheduled meeting. <br />Council Member Wright said he would like more details about this item. Mr. Godwin said there <br />were a number of people who were connected to the City's sewer and at one point they requested <br />to have their sewer fees refunded to thein, because the City did not know they were hooked onto <br />the City sewer at that time and that money was refunded. Mr. Godwin said recently the City <br />learned that they were in fact getting City sewer service, so the City began to bill them the <br />currently charged monthly average of $31.36. Mr. Godwin further said the Striplands suggested <br />they do not think they should have to pay that amount, because they invested money to hook <br />onto the City sewer system. Mr. Anderson said there was no basis to decrease their monthly <br />sewer rate. Mr. Godwin asked Council if they wanted this item on their next Agenda. Council <br />Member Wright said he did want it brought back. <br />15. Convene into Executive Session pursuant to Section 551.071 of the Texas Government <br />Code, Consultation with Attorney, to receive legal advice from the City Attorney about <br />pending or contemplated litigation and/or on matters in which the duty of an attorney to <br />his client under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of <br />Texas, clearly conflict with this chapter. <br />City Council did not convene into Executive Session. <br />16. Reconvene into Open Session and possibly take action on those matters discussed in <br />Executive Session. <br />17. Consider and approve future events for City Council and/or City Staff pursuant to <br />Resolution No. 2004-081. <br />None were referenced. <br />18. Adjournment. <br />There being no further business, a Motion to adjourn was made by Council Member <br />Frierson and was seconded by Council Member Drake. Motion carried, 6 ayes - 0 nays. The <br />meeting was adjourned at 5:58 p.m. <br />5 <br />
