Mr. Brockman discussed his concerns with the concrete spills on 78 just before Schertz Parkway,

1. Minutes: Consideration and/or action regarding the approval of the minutes of the April
3, 2014 Meeting.
A motion was made by Commissioner Phillip Rowland to approve the minutes of the
April 3, 2014 Meeting. Second by Commissioner Larry Franklin. Motion passed. Vote
was unanimous.
2. School Zones: The areas are being monitored, and yes, there are some issues. There is a
20-minute back up at Paschal Elementary but no options to rectify the problem at this
time. Wilder Elementary is scheduled for reconstruction, which will allow for a
substantial difference with the added loop around the back of the school. Out for bid now.
3. Silver Tree: The business has the ability to add spaces but it appears that they have
employees who want to park on the street, which causes the issue. The City is moving
forward with the No Parking signs previously discussed.

center (100 ft) and from FM3009 to Oaks at Green Valley II (150ft).
