MEMO
TO: Denzel Percifull, Director of Public Services S 0
FROM: Susan M. Horton, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Reduction of Bonds for Texland Petroleum
DATE: September 29, 1981
Section 19A-9 of the Oil and Gas Drilling Permit Ordinance states the
following:
"If, after completion of a well, permittee has complied with all the
provisions of this Chapter, such as to removing derrick, clearing premises,
etc., he may apply to the City Commission to have the bond reduced to a
sum of not less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for the remainder of
the time the well produces without reworking. During reworking operation
the amount of the bond shall be maintained at ten thousand dollars ($10,000)."
I would suggest that we inform Texland that they must apply to the City Council
for the bond reduction which they have requested. The application should
state that the well has been completed, that the derrick has been removed and
that the premises have been cleared. Once application has been made we can
clear it with the City Council at the regular meeting.
If you have any questions concerning this please contact me.
