Smith Named City Finance Director for City; Council Approves Project That Brings 150 Jobs to Sulphur Springs
Lesa Smith was named city finance director during Tuesday night’s Sulphur Springs City Council meeting. The council also approved two industrial/manufacturing items, set the city council election, approved the concession stand contract for local parks, and other times.
Ms. Smith began working for the city when she was 16-years old and has remained in city employ while attaining her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. According to City Manager Marc Maxwell, she has been training for the city finance position for the past five years working closely with former City Finance Director Peter Karsten, who recently retired. She was presented as director to her staff Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. Her employment as Finance Director was a unanimous decision by the council.
Another unanimous decision by the council was the approval of a new Economic Development Corporation project that will result in a 150,000 square feet building at Heritage Business Park. Three local banks, Alliance, City National, and Guaranty Bank and Trust will provide a loan for $7.8-million for the building. The city will not be responsible for the debt which will be paid from the lease of the facility to Load Trail, a builder of dump trucks. New jobs at the facility will total 150. Council members John Sellers and Emily Glass recused themselves during the discussion and vote due to their employment at local banks. However, council member Dan Froneberger asked EDC Executive Roger Feagley a number of questions regarding the agreement. Froneberger also included a Guaranty Bank and Trust loan officer in attendance in the questioning. The loan officer gave hearty approval to the integrity of Load Trail and the loan.
Froneberger also questioned a 380-agreement with Backstory Beverages Company, LLC. The company is taking a property valued between $48,000 and $50,000 and investing $950,000 in improvements. Backstory plans to hire 8-10 employees. Froneberger voted no but the remainder of the council approved the new manufacturing facility.
Council approved Whitaker Homes for construction of homes based on a Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs HOME Program. Two homes are currently approved and one is waiting funding. Income and conditions of the home must meet specific criteria set forth in the program and ownership of the home is granted when the resident has lived in the home five years.
The municipal airport will install a next generation traffic control system and the transfer of two lease agreements at the airport was approved.
Council approved a state reimbursement and expenditures for the moving of a sewer lift station and sewer lines along State Highway 11 near Stone Brier. The move is necessitated by changes to the roadway by TxDOT.
All other items on the agenda were approved including a Homeland Security grant for the Police Department.
In public form, a local resident requested attention be given to the Senior Citizens Center.
City Manager’s Report February 6, 2018
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM – A portion of Gossett Lane has been repaved as planned. Junell Street has been milled and is awaiting asphalt paving. Milling is ongoing on Beth, Rasure and Rose Streets. Calvert Street will be milled and repaved during spring break.
We will probably forego the planned reconstruction in the Woodside addition in favor of reconstructing the portion of Woodbridge Drive that crosses between the two ponds. The street is beginning to fail. We think that the culvert between the ponds is failing which in turn is causing the street failure. I am in discussions with the homeowners association on this issue. The responsibility for the culvert will be theirs, while responsibility for the street is the city’s.
CANTEX FORCE MAIN – This will be our next capital improvement project. It will replace 2,400 linear feet of aging sewer force main and 2,900 feet of gravity main. Currently the main passes through the middle of the hospital complex. This would be a nightmare if the main ever ruptures. The proposed route would go around the hospital complex rather than through it. One third of the city’s sewage passes through this line.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT – The work at the wastewater treatment plant is on schedule. The three primary clarifier basins have been constructed, and the effluent troughs are being constructed now. Other concrete structures adjacent to the clarifiers are under construction. This portion of the project will continue through summer. We will bring the new clarifiers online before work begins on other apparatuses downstream in the treatment process.
CROSSTOWN TRAIL – Construction of the Crosstown Trail in ongoing. This grant-funded project will connect Buford Park to Coleman Park as well as the high school/civic center complex with a concrete path. It will also replace the sidewalk on the north side of Connally Street.
CLAIMS – We did not have any liability claims in January. We had one minor workers’ compensation claim in January.
REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES – Budget Analyst Lesa Smith will give a year-to-date report of revenues and expenditures.
Elsewhere around the city, employees:
- Made 41 street repairs following utility repairs.
- Repaired 60 potholes.
- Graded Pipeline Road and Wisenbaker Lane.

- Responded to 196 animal control calls, took in 59 dogs and cats, and achieved a 53% adoption rate.
- Made 8 felony arrests in the Special Crimes Unit.
- Responded to 23 accidents, wrote 578 citations, recorded 33 offenses and made 70 arrests.

Entering the fourth quarter Tuesday night, it was still anybody’s game as the #14 ranked Lady Cats’ basketball team was facing Mount Pleasant on the road. The Lady Cats held on to a slim, 35-33 lead. Then the Lady Cats used a big fourth quarter to run away with a 59-41 win.
The Lady Cats outscored the Lady Tigers, 24-8 in the fourth quarter. The win gave the Lady Cats an 11-1 district record and kept them in a first place tie with Texas High who defeated Greenville on the road Tuesday night. The Lady Cats and Texas High will have a game Friday evening in Paris to determine the district champion and the district’s first seed in the playoffs. The Lady Cats are now 24-4 for the season.

Wildcats Hold Slim Lead in District Race
After a heartfelt pregame speech from sophomore Godsgift Ezedinma, the #14 ranked Wildcats’ basketball team went out and defeated Mount Pleasant, 67-58 in a filled-to-overflowing Wildcats Gym Tuesday night.
G.G. talked about the team returning to a successful approach from earlier this season where they were more concerned with making defensive stops rather than worrying about how many points they were scoring. As a result, the Wildcats used defensive stops early to take a 14-6 lead after one quarter. The Wildcats never trailed after that. The win propelled the Wildcats back into first place by a half game.
The Wildcats are now 9-1 in district play while Mount Pleasant slips to 9-2. The Wildcats need wins at Greenville Friday and at home on senior night against Hallsville next Tuesday to wrap up a district championship and the district’s number one seed in the playoffs. The Wildcats improved their season record to 26-4.
6-foot-8 post player Victor Iwuakor led the Wildcats with 21 points against Mount Pleasant. Guard Keaston Willis scored 15 points including two three pointers. Ezedinma and Day Day Hall had 8 points each. Michael Jefferson and Bryson Lynn scored 7 points apiece. Dedric Godbolt had 1 point.
Zirretta Signs with Brookhaven College
Mileena Zirretta, a four year starter and prolific goal scorer for the Lady Cats’ soccer team, signed a letter of intent Tuesday (February 6) to play soccer at Brookhaven College in Farmers Branch near Dallas. Zirretta said she noticed that Brookhaven had a very good soccer program and she decided she wanted to go there. She said she expects to play right away as a forward. Zirretta said she visited the school and even participated in a workout at Brookhaven. She said she likes the coaching staff. Zirretta said a rival of Brookhaven is Richland College and she said she also considered them before selecting Brookhaven. She said she wants to take her basics at the Division 3 Junior College and then transfer to a four year school to study sports medicine. Robert Williams, an assistant coach at Brookhaven, attended the signing event Tuesday morning. He said he watched Zirretta play in a showcase in McKinney. Coach Williams called her a stud and said she convinced him that she was a player Brookhaven needed to sign. He said Brookhaven will be losing their top striker after this season. Coach Williams said Zirretta has all the attributes to become Brookhaven’s next top striker. He said he likes her physicality, her speed and the way she strikes the ball hard. Zirretta is joining a top notch program. Brookhaven is currently ranked #1 in the country. Coach Williams said last year the Lady Bears won their conference, their region and the national tournament in New York. Brookhaven’s head coach is Jimmy Elder. Coach Williams said Coach Elder found the program in bad shape three years ago but has dramatically turned things around. Zirretta’s high school coach Joel Bailey said Mileena has all the attributes of a finisher. He said she has speed, strength and technical ability. Coach Bailey said every district coaches’ game plan includes thoughts of the Lady Cats #13, Zirretta. He said she can make an immediate impact at the college level.
