WEEKLY REV l ie VOLUME 83, NUMBER 50 ©2004 FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2004, ABERNATHY, TEXAS 50 CENTS TWELVE PAGES, TWO SECTIONS

City adds two reserve officers By Scott Luce

Abernathy's police force will have two new officers af­ter the city council approved Chief Luis Villarreal's request Monday night.

Villarreal's Reserve Officer Program allows certified peace officers to work for the city. The officers do not receive a salary but they gain on-the­job experience. The city does expend about $500 per year per officer for worker's comp insurance and equipment.

Michael Macias and James Steele graduated from South Plains College's police acad­emy in August. Macias is em­ployed at the Hale County Jail and Steele works for Lubbock ISD. They will ride with Aber­nathy officers as Villarreal schedules.

In other council business, Connie Englund's request to put a HUD code home at 601 Ave. C was approved. The city sent 18 letters to property owners within 200 feet of601 Ave. C. The owners were asked whether or not the approved of the request. Only two were returned and neither had ob­jections. Council policy for no response is to consider it as

not objecting. The city will againjoin with

other West Texas cities for a seal coating project through Oller Engineering. By joining other cities, Oller negotiates a lower cost for all cities as op­posed to each individual city seeking bids on their respec­tive jobs.

The council did some house­keeping action related to pend­ing Texas Community Devel­opment Program grants.

One requirement is for the city to use local businesses when and if possible. City Manager Mike Cypert will be the Fair Housing Officer and a grievance procedure was adopted.

The state requested the city adopt a resolution asking the state to allow Abernathy to participate in the Texas Build­ing and Procurement Commis­sion. As a member, Abernathy can make major purchases through the state and not seek bids on those major purchases. It costs the city $100 per year.

A second reading of the franchise agreement withXcel was conducted and app~ved. The new agreement will ,ring in more franchise tax oney

for the city. Reports

Cypert said the city has been contacted by a business owner that wants to relocate from Lubbock International Airport to Abernathy Munici­pal Airport.

The hangar at the airport contains asbestos and, cur­rently, is not available for pub­lic use. Cypert was seeking council direction about how to proceed with removing the asbestos or allowing public use with a state-approved release of liability.

Cypert reported that an industrial molding company from Breckeriridge has ex­pressed interest in relocating to the building that formerly housed Southwest Textiles. It will be tough to land the com­pany, Cypert said. The city is up against Market Lubbock, Inc., which can offer incen­tives the city of Abernathy can not match.

A group that wants to build a dairy in the local area is still requesting information from the city about local available housing. Cypert is responding but had no other specifics for the council.

He informed the council about a "concern" he has for future TCDP grants.

The Office of Rural Com­munity Affairs is proposing an Education Pilot Program for Pecos and Willacy Coun­ties. If the plan is expanded to all "nonentitlement commu­nities", funds formerly ear­marked for city projects would be cut and made available to school districts.

Finances The city had $335,833 in

eight checking accounts on Nov. 29. Total investments were $1,039,576. Combined, the total was over $45,000 more than the report Cypert presented for Nov. 1 and $23,665 more than the city's balance when the fiscal year began Oct. 1.

Property tax collections are trailing those reported last No­vember. The city has received 45.8 percent ($133,734) of the $292,002 current tax roll. Last November the city had col­lected 51.68 percent ($145,224)ofthe $281,031 tax roll.

All members were present and all votes passed unani­mously.

Public will be invited to

comment on school start date

Carol Coggin TEEA Hale County Woman of Year The Hale Extension Education Association 2004 Woman of

the Year is Carol Coggin of Abernathy. The announcement was made Dec. 6 at Darlene Teel's, a member of the Northwest Club, at the annual Christmas Gathering. Trustees should make decision for MS reconstruction company soon

Coggin has been a member for over one year. She started with the club and hit the ground running. At Creative Holi­days she assisted with decorations, in-charge of her club's portion of the meal and assisted two club members with their presentations. Her club says "she always does more than is expected of her and contributes to each club meeting. "

By Scott Luce Abernathy trustees will

hold a public hearing for any­one that wants to voice their opinion about when school should start next year.

Supt. Herb Youngblood in­formed the board that school can not start until Aug. 21, 2005. That is on a Sunday which pushes the first day to Aug. 22. He said the first se­mester can't be finished be­fore the Christmas holidays if school started Aug. 22.

To finish the semester school needs to start by Aug. 16. The school district must receive a waiver from the Texas Education Agency if it wants to start before Aug. 22.

Youngblood's poll of the teachers revealed a 50-50 split. He said the principals want the early date as do high school teachers because they give semester finals. The elemen­tary teachers don't because they do not give exams.

Board president Dr. John Hill pointed out that the early date does force hardships on

some families. The early date forces the district to include some extra off days during the semester. That in turn causes some families to seek unex­pected childcare.

Trustees are required to conduct a public hearing date if they plan to start school before Aug. 22. They indicated they would hold the hearing but did not announce a date. Youngblood said that any com­ments made would have to be recorded and sent to TEA with AISD's request for a waiver.

In other business, trustees voted to sell a Ford Ranger pickup for at least a Blue Book value of $2,900.

A student transfer from the New Deal school district was not recommended by the ad­ministration and not approved by the board.

A lot at 101 E. 2nd St. will be deeded to the ci ty. It is needed by the city for a sewer lift station and valuedat$376.

Reports Overall enrollment was

down four students from last

month . Elementary and middle school campuses each added one student. The high school lost six from 214 to 208 this month. Total curre~t en­rollment was 799, down one student from the same time last year.

With the school district no longer allowing discounts for early property tax payments, the district sa w a severe drop in tax collections.

The district collected 73.36 percent ($2.187 million) of the $2.981 million tax roll through November 2004. This year the district has received 22.39 percent ($685,635) of the $3.061 million tax roll. Young­blood told the board that one taxpaying oil company alone makes a $1,000,000 tax pay­ment that has not yet been paid.

Blackmon Mooring was schedu led to finish their cleanup work this week from the October fire in the middle school. Youngblood said he expects it to be next week. The

insurance company will re­place all the desktop and lap­top ciJmputel's and three air conditioners will need to be replaced.

Darren Gerloff and James Gregory, from the Gerloff Co., a catastrophe management company from San Antonio, explained the next step for the school district to resume nor­mal operation.

The Gerloff Co. is one ofthe companies that will bid on re­building the middle school. Gerloff said all the walls need to be replaced and some struc­tural supports can be repaired.

The insurance company will review the bids on a line­by-line basis, comparing costs to accepted industry stan­dards.

No bidding dates were an­nounced. Gerloffsaid his com­pany could complete the work in time for classes next Au­gust ifthe board makes a deci­sion in the very near future.

All votes passed, 6-0, with trustee Larry Bryant absent.

She is the mother of one son Matthew Cornebise, a sixth grader at Abernathy Jr. High. Her mother, Carolyn Coggin, also lives in Abernathy. She has one brother Carl Coggin.

Abernathy Students Honor Holocaust Victims Lori Houston's 8th grade Pre­AP English class participated in a poetry project dealing with the Holocaust. The students had to design a butterfly relat­ing to their individual poem. They also had to write a para­graph analysis of their poem and then present the analysis' along with their original but­terfly design to the class in a presentation. These butterflies will now be sent to the Holo­caust museum in Houston. The goal of the museum is to raise 1.5 million butterflies to sym­bolize each child victimized in the Holocaust.
