Approve Resolution opposing private clubs: Two businesses in Wylie
have applied for their private club licenses, one being Casa Rosita on

The club on North Ballard is next door to the Allen Funeral Home and
there is not adequate parking space. The second club on North Highway 78
is outside the City limits, but inside our patrol area and it is a
high traffic area already plus the business currently attracts younger
clientele as it is a gameroom and most of the patrons are 18 years of
age and younger. The Council agrees it would be immoral to have a private
club next door to a funeral home and also believes in could cr.eate,a
problem to have a private club at a place which currently caters to the
younger clientele. Motion was made by councilman Martin to approve both
resolutions, seconded by Councilman Hughes, all in favor.

been projected for both General and Utility and all departments should
be able to finish the fourth quarter without problems. The City will
have to borrow the money to pave Memorial and Mardi Gras.
Bond Status problems with current status, but changes in accounting
procedures will bring the City up to date. The bond status is required
under state law. The City must maintain 1.5% of bonds in C.D. in order
to keep a good bond status, at this time, the City would not be allowed
to hold a bond election due to the lack of funds set up in reserve. BAA
bond rating has the City of Wylie falling behind, theCCity 'is on the Tower
end of investment status. If accounting prodecures can be changed
this will up date the City's Bond Status.
