lation that the engineering of sewer main installation be completed in the event

taining to the three houses with no alleys. Council feels all city alleys should

Bobby King was asked to appear before the City Council . From January 1 to July 20,
1977, 249 cases were filed. 210 of the fines are assessed. $27.50 is the average
fine, with fines totaling $5,950. The Council asked Mr. King where his court is
held and when it is held. The police department is where the meeting is and on the
1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month. The fines are composed of $2.00 per mile over
the speed limit for City and $2.50 per mile over for State. It was reported that
so many fines were turned over to the Justice of Peace, Buddy Newton, because
Bobby King was not available. City Manager Miller suggested that possibly Buddy
could be put on as assistant judge, so when Robert King was not present we would
not lose fines to Collin County. Robert King told the council that the city speed
limit signs on North Ballard, South Ballard, and between Ballard and the west end
of Stone Road would be placed before school starts. A new school sign with flashing '-7
light on top is need for school zone.
