ccss-05-19-1980 166" SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19, 1980 The Schertz City Council convened in Special Session, Monday, May 19, 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, pre- siding; Barbara Taylor; Walter F. Schneider; Earl W. Sawyer and Jackie Lawler. ABsent: Richard L. Howe. Staff present: City Manager Jimmy G. Gilmore and City Secretary June G. Krause. #1 Council discussed the request of Guadalupe Valley Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence for use of the city owned building at 401 Oak Street for office use. The City Manager said he had calls from several citizens, including Dr. Mays, endorsing this project. After brief discussion, Council requested staff ask~ Mr. Woh1 to come before the Council to discuss this request and give them more details about the project. #2 Council discussed the pros and cons of entering a contract with the Greater Randolph Area Chamber of Commerce. The City Manager recommended not entering a contract but the city could support them if Council so desired. Council concensus was not to contract, since the Chamber really does very little if anything for the City of Schertz and the Business Club does help the City. #3 The street dedication request of the Housing Authority was discussed. Mr. Gilmore asked that the Council separate the street dedication from the payment in lieu of taxes and at this time just consider the dedication of streets. Council concensus was to accept the dedication of streets and meet with the Housing Authority Board at a June Workshop to discuss the pay- ment in lieu of taxes issue. #4 Community Center Rental Rates: Mr. Gilmore explained that the City is losing money on the rental of the Community Center using the present rates and had some recommended rates for Council consideration. After receiving Council favorable consideration, the City Manager was directed to prepare an ordinance covering these new rates. #5 When discussing the new proposed subdivision ordinance, Mr. Sawyer said the City is sorely in need of an updated ordinance regulating subdivisions and recommended passage of the proposed one. It was pointed out that if something needed changed, it could always be done at a later date. Council concurred with this statement. #6 General Discussion; Mr. Gilmore reported that the new City patrol vehicle was in a wreck over the weekend and that he had the preliminary report for their perusal. There was discussion of the Council doing its own investigation of the accident; but the City Manager reminded them that the accident was investigated by an outside agency, who obtained several witness statements. There was also discussion of the recent resignations from the police department, with Council wanting to dis- cus the reasons for the resignations~ and investigate same. Mr. Gilmore said that investigation without specific changes is not the Council perview; , however, checking into City policies is and should be looked at. 167 The City Manager also advised that for the Library to maintain state membership, it iis necessary to spend $1.50 per capita including the surrounding area. State membership provides several equipment items for the library as well as loan ,of films on specific subjects. This approximate $16,500 will have to be budgeted; however, it is hoped that some of the money can be replaced by donations and budgeted amounts from Guadalupe County. He suggested that perhaps several of theCouncilmembers could set up a meeting with the County Judge and our County Commissioner and ask to be included in their county budget for the library, SAFES and fi re depa rtment. #7 Adjournment; On a motion by Mr. Schneider, seconded by Mr. Sawyer and unanimously carried, the meeting adjourned at ...(Ju //_ 0 ~. ,.-'~ ayor,- City '6f Schertz, Texas 8:46 P.M.
