Monahans Council weighs lake project and referendum
Council debates shrinking a proposed fifteen acre lake to about eight acres to improve feasibility. Sikes pushes for a public referendum, while Hammond doubts funding for upkeep and Woodard cautions the venture is risky. A tax increase could be needed, Hammonds notes, but Sikes says no more than 3 to 4 dollars extra yearly. The mayor keeps order as the council approves calling a referendum before recess.
