Mrs. Lawler also called attention to some large potholes on Maple and Pecan that need fixing before they become more dangerous. Mr. Gilmore said the City had received a letter from Guadalupe County Appraisal District appointing Mr. Lawler as a member of the Appraisal Review Board.

He said he would like to have the Public Works director at the March workshop to go over the plan and answer any questions. This is the first of the departments, and when all are finished they will be consolidated into one plan. #6 ADJOURNMENT: On a motion by Mrs. Lawler, seconded by Mr. Sawyer and unanimously carried, the meeting adjourned at 8:50 P.M. ATTEST: REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MARCH 25 1982 The Schertz City Council convened in Regular Meeting, Tuesday~ March 2, 1982 at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers, 1400 Live Oak Road with the follow- ing members present: Mayor Jack M. Stomackin, Sr., presiding; Richard L. Howe; Barbara Taylor; Earl W. Sawyer and Jackqueline Lawler. Absent: Jeff Duffield. Staff present were City Manager Jimmy G. Gilmore and City Secre- tary June G. Krause. #1 PUBLIC ZONING HEARING: Mayor Stomackin opened the public hearing and explained this was a joint hearing with the Planning and Zoning Commission for the purpose of considering a request by Dr. Kermit G. Harborth to rezone approximately 11 acres of land from R-l, Single Family Dwelling District, to OP Office and Prefessional District. He then turned the meeting over to Mr. McMahan, secretary of the P&Z, who served in the absence of Chairman Linebarger. 146 Mr. McMahan described the area proposed for rezoning as a strip of land about 300 foot in depth and 5140 feet along FM 3009 from Greenvalley Road to the Oak Forest Subdivision. He then asked for any comments from the audience objecting to the rezoning. i : Mr. & Mrs. Stewart and Mr. Stan Spurkowsky all voiced their objection stating that a portion of this property backed up to their backyards. They were concerned about the type of business that would be allowed in this zoning and mainly about the drainage problems that already exist in the area. Chairman Linebarger arrived at this point and presided over the remainder of the public hearing. One of the citizens asked what type of businesses could be authorized in the OP zoning and Mr. Tom Brooks read some of the allowable businesses. He also stated that apartments and certain types of businesses are not automatically authorized in OP but would require a Specific Use permit, which would have to be separately approved by the P&Z and City Council. Dr. Harborth answered some of the questions presented. He could not say exactly what business would be built at this time but he felt it would be an asset to the community. He also said that as far as building on the property next to Oak Forest, the drainage problem would have to be solved prior to building going in. He also said that he plans to build his home behind the OP zoning. P&Z member Bill Courtney said that he lives in Oak Forest; and although he admitted his property did not abutt this particular land, he is in favor 1,,-' \ of the OP zoning rather than general business because OP is more restric= , tive. There being no further discussion by P&Z members or City Councilmembers, the Mayor declared the public zoning hearing closed at 7:26 P.M.

The City Manager explained this is the proposed ordinance as discussed in workshop - originally the City charged for tags, then repealed the charge thinking it would stimulate citizens to get their animals tagged. This did not work out to be effective, therefore, we are now asking that the charge be reinstated to help with the impounding and food costs.

ATTEST: SPECIAL SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL MARCH 10, 1982 The Schertz City Council convened in Special Workshop Session, Wednesday, March 105 1982 at 7:00 P.M. in the Conference Room of the Municipal Complex, 1400 Live Oak Road with the following members present: Mayor Jack M. Stomackin, Sr., presiding; Richard L. Howe; Barbara Taylor; Jeff Duffield; Earl W. Sawyer, and Jacqueline Lawler. Staff were Jimmy G. Gilmore, City Manager, and June G. Krause, City Secretary. #1 COMMUNICATION: Mr. Mike Lawler addressed the Council concerning the need for an ordinance that would provide some type of protection for SAFES in case another commercial ambulance service comes into their area. Council discussed this at length agreeing that we should bet sample ordinances from both TML and San Antonio. They were not wanting to cut out another service entirely but perhaps a regulation that SAFES would be dispatched to all emergencies but the citizens would still be free to call an ambulance of their choice on a non-emergency basis. #2 BUSINESS CLUB: Mr. Gilmore said he had met with the Business Club to work out some of the preliminaries and they will be at the regular meeting of the Council to renew their contract for the Jubilee. He then asked Council if he could consider contracting for the cleanup as his Parks men have not had a 4th of July holiday in years. The other changes that are proposed in the contract are that the Business Club agrees to end the function at midnight and that they agree to provide the tables and chairs. Some questions the SBC had were: (1) the electrical system at the pavilian needs changing and updating. This would cost approxi- mately $4,000; but the change would not be restricted to the SBC use but all would benefit from the electrical change. Mr. Gilmore agreed to bring some cost figures for this to the next meeting. Mr. Duffield suggested adding a paragraph stating that the SBC agrees to submit an expenditure and revenue report on the function within 45 days from the 4th of July. The Mayor called a recess at 7:33 P.M.
