Mr. Gilmore also asked if the Council had seen the land in back of this
building - the Public Works has really cleaned it and it is looking good.
These men also helped the Catholic Church workers clear part of their land.
Mrs. Taylor asked to put on the next workshop agenda the designation of
a member on the School-Cities committee.
Mr. Duffield mentioned he would like to see what can be done about up-
dating the Cityls Comprehensive Plan. He would like Mr. Gilmorels thoughts
on the current plan and to see if we need consulting help. Mr. Gilmore
stated that he is putting together an outline right now. He will have
a master plan for the parks area shortly.
Mr. Sawyer said he agreed with Mr. Duffield about the need for the update
of the master plan. He also mentioned the Library building had been

#1 WORKSHOP:
A. Computer System - Mr. Gilmore said that most of the Council
knows that our computer systems is little more than a glorified bookkeeping
machine, and very outdated. He said he would like something that can be
added to in the future as the need arises. He was not really prepared to
discuss this item at length since some of the material needed _ recommenda- i j
tions through the audit, etc. = had not been received.

Council briefly discussed computer systems, asking that all types be
considered, including the tandem units.
B. General items.: Mr. Gilmore said that the Council had approved
going under I 35 at F.M. 1103 with a water line and he had gone one step
further. He had an agreement drawn between the Fritz Schlather Subdivision
and the City of Schertz. The agreement says that the City will put in the
line under I 35 to his property; then Mr. Schlather agrees to install an
8 inch water line the length of the subdivision. The City to pay for any
oversizing they deem necessary.
The Council was in unanimous agreement for the Mayor to sign this agreement.
Mr. Gilmore then handed out copies of a "A Beginning of A Plan" and discussed
some of the items he had incorporated into the report.
Mr. Gilmore also reported that Mr. Mazian had called after reading about the
fire in Universal City, and asked if Schertz could adopt the "Tot Finding
Stickers". He Gilmore said he had discussed this with SAFES Administrator
Tom Funk and he suggested either having two separate ones or combining
one including the handicapped. This would probably cost $150 to $200.
Mr. Duffield suggested contacting some of the local organizations to see if
they would interested in promoting this idea.
#2 APPOINTMENT: There was much discussion concerning the requested
appointment of a Council member to the Cities-
School proposed committee. Generally, the Council felt the committe would
not be too effective but did agree that Schertz should participate. Mayor
Stomackin agreed to serve on this committee.
#3 PERSONNEL: A. Salaries - The Mayor called an Executive Session
to discuss Personnel salaries, under Article 6252-17
Section 2 (g) at 8:26 P.M.
The Regular Workshop Session was reconvened at 8:56 P.M..
Mr. Sawyer made a motion that Mrs. Krause' salary be increased to the amount
discussed and Mr. Gilmore's salary also be increase to the amount discussed.
Mrs. Lawler seconded the motion which carried with the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Howe, Taylor, Duffield, Sawyer and Lawler
NAYS: None
#5 GENERAL DISCUSSION: Mr. Sawyer had several questions,needing
clarification, from the Libary Board.
A. Is it necessary for the receiving board to report expenditures on
County Revenue Sharing funds? Mr. Gilmore said he had discussed this with
the Librarian and that they should report those expenditures.
B. Will the people that bought the SAFES building remove the concrete on
the lot or will the City have to remove it. Mr. Gilmore said it would be
moved but the man did not have a large enough truck at the time of moving
the building. Mr. Sawyer suggested the concrete be broken up and left as
part of the foundation reinforcing material.

C. Can the City recoup expenses for repairs to the library building
from the kid that broke into the structure? Mr. Gilmore said he is
working on getting restitution at this time.
D. Are the contents of the Library (books, etc.) insured? Yes
E. Is it the City's intention to sell the present library building
when they move and use these funds toward the purchase of the new building?
As the City Council has already indicated they would probably sell the
building, can the City advance the expected money to the library at this
time? Mr. Duffield asked if the City could legally sell that building
as it was a donation to the Volunteer Fire Department prior to incorporation
of the City. This will be looked into and information brought back.
Along these same lines, Mr. Gilmore said the Human Society had been in
and they are looking for land to build a animal shelter. Mr. Gilmore said
that right now the City really does not have any appropriate land. They
at least want a temporary location where they can put in some cages with
covers on them. Council concensus is that there is a need for a permanent
location for the shelter.
Mr. Gilmore also said that we had received a call from a Schertz citizen
asking if there is a plan to have a Schertz cemetery. People move to this
area because they like it best for their later years and then definitely
don't want to have to be buried in San Antonio or someplace else.
Mrs. Lawler reported on the meeting Wednesday evening of the Cibolo Valley
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council, saying that most of the board are not
able to attend the meetings because of illness restrictions; however,
things are going along smoothly.
#6 ADJOURNMENT: On a motion by Mr. Howe, duly seconded and unani-
mously carried, the meeting adjourned at 9:21 P.M.
