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that most of the Council knows that our computer systems is little more than a glorified bookkeeping machine, and very outdated.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. .4 ~; 19 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.

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. 120 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.
