SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
DECEMBER 15, 1980
The Schertz City Council convened in Special Session, Monday, December 15, 1980
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;
Jeff Duffield; Barbara Taylor; Richard L. HOwe; Earl W. Sawyer and Jacqueline
Lawler. Staff present were City Manager Jimmy G. Gilmore and City Secretary
June G. Krause.
#1 Communication Discussion: The Mayor called Mike Lawler to discuss
with the Council the report of the Communi-
cations Committee. Mr. Lawler said their report was about 95% complete; however,
before completing the report they wanted Council input on two particular subjects.
One is the need for a toll free number to the newly annexed citizens living near
New Braunfels. Would the City Council consider having a straight New Braunfels
line put into the Municipal Building. Two - the need for a police department
repeater system. The department has had two frequencies granted but only have
180 days to implement them or lose them. Mr. Lawler said the police have STEP
money for the hardware but need a new higher tower. The two ways of gaining
this suggested were either building our own tower with building and equipment
or leasing. After discussion, Council asked the City Manager to look into the
leasing on a short range basis with perhaps erecting our own in later budget
years. He would also look into costs of a straight line from New Braunfels
versus a watts line.
#2 Discussion of ordinance on Emergency Water conservation. Mr. Duffield
..- thanked the City Manager for rewriti ng the proposed ordi nance by mak-
ing it a much better working ordinance. Council agreed.
#3 Discussion of Mobile Home Ordinance: Mayor Stomackin pointed out
several sections he felt needed
studing further. After discussion, Council agreed this was a fair ordinance
that could be amended later if the need arose.
#4 Charter Review Committee Recommendations: Mr. Duffield said he felt
Council should follow the
City Manager's recommendation and meet with the committee members to get their
reasoning behind the recommendations to Council. It was agreed to meet with
them at the next workshop session.
#5 GENERAL DISCUSSION: Mr. Sawyer briefed Council on the recent IDC
meeting held in Austin, stating they will be
down here soon for a team training session. Mr. Gilmore suggested a tour of
the city when they come down.
Mrs. Lawler advised of the problem of someone popping garbage bags of leaves
and scattering the leaves down the middle of some streets. She suggested the
City might have a "Beautification Week" where citizens would be urged to clean
the streets in front of their residences, as the street sweeper is out of com-
mission.
-,
Council then briefly discussed such items as the Volunteer Recognition program,
capital improvement program, the meeting proposed with the Railroad Representa-
tives, the continuing annexations and a letter from Coy Simmons concerning the
242
the City's agreement to make improvements to the Circle Oak entrance to
Oak Forest Subdivision.
Mr. Gilmore advised that he is working with SAFES Director on a system
to put the department into a more business like basis without destroying
the volunteer concept. He will keep the Council informed on this.
#6 ADJOURNMENT: On a motion by Mrs. Lawler, duly seconded and unani-
mously carried, the meeting adjourned at B:li P.M.
