Building Commissioners to chirhe
The City Manager reported that a request had been administrative costs of condemna-
re:ceived to continue the hearing until November 8 on tion and Douse removals to the
Case No. HS-65-129, and such action was taken at the lien which is put against the
regular Council meeting. Case Nij. IIS-65-124 was also property when the building is
discussed and it was decided that since the owner in finally removed by the City.
June had been given 60 days to obtain compliance, the
case was not recommended for continuance at the regular
meeting. Mayor Barr commented that the Council & staff
mould carefully explain to these property owner:; that
legal :action would proceed once the cases are approved,
but that it would take 60 to 90 days to conclude such
legal proceedings after Council action. At the regular
meeting, C.ise No. HS-65-178 was discussed at some length
by the Council and Mr. Raymond M. Burciaga (property
located at 1314 N. Houston) . Mr. Burciaga complained
that the code requirement seemed to include adjusting
ceiling heights by less than one foot, and also that
the tax value had not been reduced on his house, which
he could neither rent nor sell. Mr. Burciaga was advised
to discuss the code requirements on his structure with
the Building Commissioners office, and no delay was
granted in his case. Councilman Hoover inquired as to
whether sheetrock vas required b , the code to replace
canvas and paper in houses built many years ago.

there had been a question of the financial ability of the
low bidder. The City Manager replied that it was, but
that the City had good experience with him on this station
and he had submitted the low bid on the next fire station
to be built. Councilman Shannon asked when the Fire
Station #15 would be coming up for construction. The
City Manager replied that the preliminary plans were
completed, that final plans would be ready in sixty to
seventy-five days and then fire station would be advertised
for bids. _

map.
8. Tabulation of Bids for Purchase of Copper Tubing NMT
(M&C P-474, page 3 of 4)
Councilman Hamm commented that the copper market was
in a great state of flux, and he questioned an earlier
decision of the Council to wait five years to do some 1 r,zr�
copper work (This was apparently a reference to the QFfr'n91A.L ni3021 J
downtown signal system discussed on 10-11-65). COU SZONET1.RY
The City Manager said that recent City experience 1 J M �
with copper prices was that it was difficult to get a ,FTWORTH,
T�
firm bid, and on a previous order, the D&K Electric Co. ff 1
had lost $644 on the price they had to pay to the supplier
and the bid which they had Riven the City. The M&C
