Mr. Baldwin moved to approve the first reading of an ordinance
rezoning 2.087 acres of land out of Oak Forest, Unit 4, to Office
and Professional. Mr. Greenwald seconded the motion.
Mr. Sharpe said that at the public hearing on this particular
zoning request there were a lot of citizens and there are also a
lot of citizens here tonight. One of the things that most of the
citizens discussed was traffic; and the Council has addressed
traffic in general by extending Live Oak Road all the way to I-35
so that it will take some of the traffic off FM 3009. The
drainage problem is there and it will continue to be there but
hopefully it will be improved with some extra work in the area.
Mr. Simmons has tried to get several things done with the land.
It would be nice to keep it as is but with the overlay ordinance,
we can keep it looking nice. Mr. Simmons' request does meet our
overlay. ~ have given this a lot of thought oecause we have to
do something, we can't just refuse to let him use the land.
Mr. Greenwald suggested putting a time limit for Mr. Simmons to
come in with drainage plans. However, because the City has other
requests that include drainage, other Councilmembers were not in
favor of including the time limit in the motion.

violations that come before them in Municipal Court and they
would like to increase the fines. We are behind the cities in
the area in regards to fines. The list shows the proposed fines
and will go to those unless Council has objections. This will
bring us more in line with other cities in the area.
Council asked if the Judge or Prosecutor could come to the next
workshop to discuss the var ious fines. They really did not
question the increases but just wanted some explanations.
C. There is a letter of resignation in Council packets from Mrs.
Pellerin. She is resigning from the Housing Authority Board
because of health.

of doing something for those who have served the city, we should
prepare a plaque for Mrs. Pellerin.

#l5 ITEMS BY COUNCIL: Mr. Sharpe said that some months ago
Council had asked if SAFES could start giving a tally of those
calls they make in unincorporated parts of the county. So far,
these figures have not been on their reports. He said we are
requesting some additional information on the census tract of the
county in order to prepare complete justification on our request
for our fair share of county funds. This may be the way to go -
point out the amount of citizens in SAFES service area as opposed
to Seguin.
Mr. Sharpe said there is an item in Council packets from the
Appraisal District. They are wanting to hire some additional
appraisers in order to get the new appraisals done.

two opponents. Mayor Sawyer commended both opponents on a clean
campaign. He then congratulated Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Baldwin for
