The Mayor also notified the Council of an invitation to the First Annual
Celebration from the NCO at Randolph on October 7, 1979.
He thanked Mr. Kramer for the plaque presented to the City of Schertz by the
Business Club.
Mayor Bueker then discussed with the Council the industry wishing to get a
moratorium on a proposed site in the Industrial Park. The representatives of
the industry did not accept the Council proposal of a 4-year moratorium with
consideration of an additional 3 years, as they said it would be almost one
year before commencing, then take two years to get the bugs out, which would
really leave them only one year. As to the consideration of an additional
three years, they felt the Council at that time might not agree with this
Council. '
Mr. Howe said he had done some telephoning to other cities and found we are
the only ones considering a moratorium so he is against giving a moratorium.
Mr. Schneider, after considerable discussion by the Council, said he would
be willing to give a 4 year moratorium with an option for three additional
years. Mrs. Hyatt said if they would go for the 4 year with option for 3
more years, it was okay with her; but if they still would not accept that
she was willing to give the 7 year moratorium. Both Mr. Stomackin and Mr.
Sawyer said they were for the 7 year moratorium.
Staff was asked to set up a workshop with the City Attorney and representatives
of the industry to meet with the Council.
Lastly, Mayor Bueker asked if the Council had any items to place before the
Community Council, which he would be chairing in October. It was suggested
the question of the FM 78 By Pass and the possibility of all surrounding
cities working together on different types of maintenance contracts be placed
on the agenda for Community Council discussion.
#14 ITEMS BY COUNCIL: A. Mr. Howe asked if a nominee had been selected
for the County Advisory Board. Mr. Baldwin
said he thought Mr. McClure might be pursuaded to be nominated. Council was
to call him on this subject.
Mr. Howe also questioned the survey crew fees on the bill from the Comprehen-
sive Design. This was to be checked against the contract.
B. Mr. Schneider suggested contacting the property people to see if the weeds
could be cut along Aviation Blvd. under the railroad overpass. He also asked
something be done about the blind corner, because of trees, weeds etc. in
Schertz.
Co' Mr. Stomackin asked if the $133 refund on the ambulance warranty work
was the total to be received and how much of the warranty work was refunded.
The City Manager said he would check this out.
D. Mr. Sawyer asked what was wrong with the light on FM 78 at First Street.
Mr. Gilmore said it was struck by lightening and the Highway Department had
to order a part but it was expected to be back in service the first week in
October.
Mr. Sawyer also again asked about the advisory sign placed at the end of
