renewal of the contract between the city and

He gets 15% of the taxes collected; however, with the City Council passing an
ordinance allowing the city to pass this 15% on to the tax payer, the city
will not be having to obsorbe this charge in the future. This will only
apply to the uncollected taxes as of July 1, 1982.

#8 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: (1) Saturday at 9:00 a.m. there will be a
ribbon cutting ceremony at the building
next to Country Corner on I 35 for the opening of a beauty shop and liquor
store. (2) In regard to the clean up of the pavilion after the July 4th
Jubilee, a company has given a bid of $632 for the entire cleanup. This in-
cludes two people being there from noon on with an additional crew coming in
at midnight to finish the job. They will keep the trash barrels emptied and
the restrooms clean and furnished all day. As this is 1/2 the cost of the
city doing the job inhouse, Council agreed the City Manager should pursue
this project. (3) Mr. Gilmore said he is instructing the various departments
to start on their individual budgets and have them to him by April 15th. He
hopes to have the preliminary budget to Council by May. (4) He had received
a letter from Norris Hall, Guadalupe County Appraisal District Manager, pro-
posing the establishment of a "satellitell office to be placed in our Municipal
building. This would be tied in with Seguin computer and they would provide
the terminal, >plf'inter etc. at a cost of $7500 with the City providing the
office space, telephone line and personnel, which would be our tax clerk.
This would allow our citizens to come into our offices and inspect their
tax records and compare for uniformity without going to Seguin, (4) He
called attention to a letter from the City of Cibolo and asked that Council
study the information and it will be discussed at the next Workshop meeting
to generate and answer to their Mayor.
