TOM DYER Mr. Dyer; representing the Trophy Club Emergency Medical Service Association, addressed the Council concerning a contract between the Town and Methodist Hospital. Mr. Dyer oointed out that at the last Council meetino Fire Chief Unmer gave a presentation concerning the services Methodist offered and how the Town could benefit from the program. Mr. Dyer and other members of the association felt the presentation at the last meeting was not clear enough as tm what the association wanted from the Town in the way of suonort. Mr. Dyer oointed out three reasons for contracting with Methodist: 1.) The service allows the ambulance attendant to contact a oualified physician, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The physician can advise the attendant as to what 3rocedures should be implemented. 2.> Methodist Hospital insists that the volunteers or employees involved with the program stay current with their training. They will also aid in the training process. 3.> The liability situation is improved by subscribing to t4e service because the department will be following the standard aporoved procedure for emergency service. Also, written into the contract is the requirement that Trophy Club Emergency Medical Service have errors and omissions coverage as well as Methodist Hospital. Mr. Dyer stated that this service costs approximately $408.00 per month. Trophy Club Emergency Medical Service can sumport the prmgram for the next 12 to 24 months without any heIM. The members of the T.C.E.M.S. felt the Town should su000rt them by signing the contract. Council Member Martignago made a motion for the Town of Trophy Club to assume the responsibility of the Emergency Medical Services and in so doing provide a Resolution to that affect and include the acquisition of orooer additional. professional liability insurance in the Town~s policy. There will also be no further expense to the Town at this time. Council Member Venetoff seconded, motion carried unanimously., page 3 MASTE� PLAN WQR�SHOP� TOWN COUNCIL AND AND ZONI1,\�G C0MMISSICW Mr. Dan Boutwell, Town Planner with Freese and Nichols Engineering firm, gave a list of events that led up to the presentation of the Vaster plan at tonight's meeting. Mr. Boutwell pointed out that this is the result of thirteen months work. P community survey was sent to everyone in Trophy Club, and from those results the goals and objectives were developed. These goals and objectives were fashioned into a comprehensive plan For the Town of Troohy Club. Mr. Boutwell reviewed the thoroughfare plan, land use plan and population figures. Accordinip to the plan now being presented, the oopuIation of Troohy Club in the year 2005 would be 12,300. Mr. John Sheller, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee recommended the Council adopt the comprehensive map as presented with one exception. At Present, the sports association is using a parceI of land in Section 12 for soccer fields. They have constructed lighting and a concession stand in the area. The Planning and Zoning 7ommissior and Or. Boutwell placed the park north of that area in the vicinity of a pr000sed school and church site. Mr. Boutwell pointed out that this would be a better place For a park because combined recreational facilities and parking could be used for the school, park and church. This location also buffers corp land and would not impose on residential areas. Mr. Sheller pointed out that the grant given to Trophy Club for a mark from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department was based on using this land. The Parks and Recreation Committee asked the Council to reinstate the park at its current site for the following reasons: 1.> Redure exposure to losing the grant by changing location. 2.) Eliminate the potential of closing down the youth soccer proD.ram. 3.} Minimize the expense for park develooment by having to move the lights, etc. page 4 Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission pointed out that this is a residential area with inadequate parking and the current location is not the highest and best use for the land. It is also privately owned and the owner has specified that the use of the land by the sDorts association is only temporary. Mr. Ed Snider, President of independent American Development Corooration stated that independent American would like to spend more time reviewing the map. He stated that Indeoendent American would come nearer supporting the park area to the north because he liked Mr. BoutweIl~s land use plan for that area and the reasons for it. Mr. Snider stated that Independent American does not have any plans in the short term to ask the Sports Pssociation to move from the area they are using now, but if the Master Plan dictates a better park use by putting the park somewhere else Independent American would support that transition. During the meeting several requests and suggestions were made concerning the Master Plan. The Council and Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the items, solicited input from the audience and voted on the changes and suggestions. They are as follows: 1. Mr. Cotton Skaggs su2gested placing a commercial area at the Northwest corner of Trophy Club.

The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to leave the area designated as open space and address this issue when official zoning is applied for. The Council unanimously agreed. 8. Mayor Pro Tem Venetoff pointed out that the special residential areas seemed to be grouped together in certain areas of the map. The Council instructed Mr. Boutwell to review this. 9.
