Mr. Sweatt said this was brought to Council at last week's
workshop at the request of County Judge Sagebiel and Canyon
Regional Water Authority Director David Davenport. They
asked the City of Schertz join other entities in the County
of Guadalupe to ask the legislature to help deal with
certain water issues that we are all facing concerning the
Edwards Underground. We had one changic at the Workshop.
The statement that originally read the City of Schertz
generallY supported the Texas Water Commission attempt to
regulate the Edwards. After review we suggested wording
that says "That the City Council recognizes the need for
some regulation of the Edwards and would support fair and
equitable regulations for all users".
Mr. Baldwin said he was glad to see that change.

#7 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: A. He reminded Council of
the Ground Breaking Ceremonies for the Animal Shelter on
Borgfeld Road at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 24, 1992.
He encouraged everyone to attend as we are very proud to be
building this facility. HopefUlly representatives of the
State Health Department will be present.
B. We are intending to begin in November another effort at
the recycling process. You will remember that we had asked
Alamo Waste to set up a voluntary collection point about two
years ago. For various reasons, it did not work as well as
we had hoped. We have now set up an arrangement with Alamo
Waste to use the Library parking lot on the first Saturday
of every month, from 10:00 am to 2:00 p.m to receive
recyclable material. This is simply a collection point, no
payments to be made. We will have more information in the
next newsletter.
C. Everyone is acutely aware of the drought condition. The
Fire Chief has issued a temporary ban on outdoor burning.
We will no longer be issuing those permits at this time.
#8 ITEMS BY COUNCIL: Mr. Greenwald presented the
annual certified Public Accountants report for BVYA to Mayor
Sawyer, saying that it looks pretty good.
Mayor Sawyer asked that copies be made for Council for the
