Mayor Baldwin introduced an ordinance and read the caption as follows: AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS AMENDING THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) ORDINANCE NO. 96-5-28 BY REZONING APPROXIMATELY 31.03 ACRES OF LAND OUT OF BEXAR COUNTY AND REFLECTING SUCH CHANGES ON CERTAIN ZONING MAPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHERTZ UDC ORDINANCE. Mr. Potempa moved to approve the first reading of an Ordinance rezoning 31.03 acres out of Bexar County from RIA to MH. Mr. Greenwald seconded the motion. Before the vote, Mr. Agee asked if the deal for the land closed. Mr. Johnson replied that he and Mr. Calhoun are in agreement with the next payment for closure. At this time the vote was taken and the motion carried as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Jarman, Potempa, Agee, Swinney and Greenwald. NAYS: None. #6 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT · Mentioned that he had asked Council to consider changes to water restrictions and distributed the new booklet for them to review. Stated if Council has no objection, this item will be on the workshop agenda next week for emergency action. Council did not object. There was a brief discussion about the new levels set by the Edwards, about the filling of swimming pools and about wasting water. It was pointed out that the Edwards has left the implementation of specific conservation measures to each city. Schertz tries to keep with the San Antonio regulations for conformity so when citizens hear on television that we've gone into another stage of conservation, they know that also applies to Schertz. . Reminded everyone of the Fireman's Supper this coming Saturday and also invited Council for fajitas at the pavilion on Friday evening. -210- . . . . . #7 ITEMS BY COUNCIL Mrs. Jarman: . Announced she will be unable to attend next week's workshop due to a previous commitment. Mr. Aoee: . Indicated he was supposed to give a "thank you" to Council for the flowers they sent for his sister. . Apologized for not attending Mr. McDonald's farewell dinner. Mr. Swinney: . Remarked the City picnic at the park was great and worked well for family participation. Mayor Baldwin asked if the employees had been pooled about their preference between an annual picnic or the Christmas awards dinner. Mr. Sweatt replied they had not, but it is his feeling that most prefer the picnic. · Urged everyone to have the City Manager's evaluation forms in the hands of Mayor Baldwin by next Wednesday night. Mr. Potempa: . Indicated he is all for the picnic, but feels they ought to do something at Christmas too. He's recommending they have chef hats and aprons and that Council do the serving again. Mr. Swinney noted the picnic means one less party during the Christmas season which is great because there are always so many. Mr. Potempa was still in favor of having some kind of celebration during the holidays. Mr. Greenwald: . Commented the way the aquifer is dropping, we'll be in Stage II in the next 7-10 days. It has dropped 35 points in the last 60 days. #8 ITEMS BY MAYOR . Expressed how much he enjoyed the picnic and mentioned that Coralee Fenner, who used to be a bag lady at the Christmas parties, was a clown at this event. . Stated the walk for A-Tis this Saturday morning at Cypress Bend Park in New Braunfels. -211-
