(1) permission to sell SAFES unit 262 van modulance (2) authorization to draw up specifications and bid for a new unit and (3) for the City to sign note for the purchase of the new unit. He went on to explain that with the money from user cities, Guadalupe County Revenue Sharing and additional they will receive from a money making project, they will have sufficient for the new unit but will not get the revenue sharing in time for the pur- chase - thus the note. I I I I L_ On being questioned as to the legality, Mr. Harris (city attorney) said they could authorize the sell and bid by a concensus of Council but not the authorization of signing a note. Mayor Bueker and Mr. Howe agreed to co-sign the note themselves; therefore, the concensus of the Council was to allow the SAFES Board to proceed with their plans as outlined. The City Manager then announced that McDonald's would like to have a car-wash with the proceeds going to the Schertz Public Library. Also on Tuesday, April 15th, Robyn Carr, author of 'Chelynne' would be present at the Library to answer questions and discuss the novel. And a gifted and talented class from Clemens will also be in attendance.

Also that Mr. Howe had donated a heater for the new SAFES building. The City Manager also reported on the meeting he attended concerning the County Appraisal Board and the costs involved for the City's participation which would be approximately $1633.00 for this year. He stated that the City would have to maintain a tax office for at least two years more. #12 ITEMS BY MAYOR: Mayor Bueker had none at this time. 151 #13 ITEMS BY COUNCIL: Mr. Howe reported that Deer Run has an excess of pot holes. Mrs. Hyatt,referring to the sewer odor in Rio Vista and Lone Oak, said she haditalked with Mr. David Dennis of CCMA and they are working on the problem. They were of the opinion this was a Schertz problem and the costs should be borne by Schertz but Council agreed it is an areawide problem, in that at the time of purchase they would make efforts to see that no odors was brought over the City of Schertz. The City Manager was instructed to discuss this with Mr. Weaver of CCMA. Mr. Sawyer asked if staff had checked with CCMA concerning their warning system. Mr. Gilmore said that he had and they have it under contract and it would be more costly than the proposed system of the City engineer. Mr. Gilmore notifed the Council that the pipe on the land across from the Fire Department belonged to the Telephone Company and was there only on a temporary basis. Also probably some dirt would be hauled in to fill in holes. #14 ADJOURNMENT: On a motion by Mr. Howe, seconded by Mrs. Hyatt add unanimously carried, the meeting adjourned at 8:08 PM. &dc~ Mayor, City of Schertz, Texas ATTEST: 01 LA-1 A/ 0--( b ~~ Cit~ecretary~z SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 8, 1980 The Schertz City Council convened in Special Session, Tuesday, April 8, 1980 at 7:00 P.M.iri the Council Chambers, 1400 Live Oak Road with the following members present: Mayor Robert C.
