many employees have passed through and during the process some of the keys had

the subject.

has been doing, what it plans for this year, what is planned for the near

ordinances. Most of what the citizen said concerning San Antonio's ordinance
was false and Schertz' ordinance is more restrictive. Mr. Harris said that
the time span could not be shortened by State Law. Council agreed to leave
our ordinance as it now is.

ability exemption other than the over 65 and Disabled Veterans exemption now

for study.

to answer any questions Council might desire.
