City Manager Malone reported to the Council that the City has received a $1,200,000.00 grant for the Depot Project, and there has been a committee receiving input from the public regarding possible usage of the structure once it has been restored. City Manager Malone said they had a deadline for submission of recommendations of Wednesday of this week, and they will be considering those recommendations. In the mean time, the City has been fortunate to be able to get the Buster Cole Unit of Bonham State Prison to furnish the City with some of the prisoners to do clean -up work at the Depot along with Public Works and Engineering out there trying to locate some of the stoppage in the old drainage system that drains the water away from the building. City Manager Malone also reported that Terry Townsend has a project underway to landscape around the fountain, there has been shrubs that were root - bound, and some were dead„ and they are being removed. The Plan is to keep all the crape myrtles and restore with new landscaping in the near future with smaller shrubs with more color and lots of flowers in order to improve the fountain area. City Manager Malone advised that the water and sewer rate study will be reviewed again at the up- coming Monday night City Council Meeting, along with a public hearing. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. ERIC S. CLIFFORD, MAYOR ,-- ATTEST: MATTIE CUNNINGHAM, ITY CLERK
