#14 ITEMS BY COUNCIL: Mr. Howe mentioned that Schertz has one of the
best parks around; and since some of the other
cities do not have parks, he feels our citizens are subsidizing them. He
feels that park upkeep should be paid by the people that use the parks.
Mr~ Sawyer said that during the last two or three weeks, there has been a
co~munication problem between the Fire Department, SAFES, etc.; he feels that
rather then get an outside committe to study the problems, the city should
form a committee of key personnel from each of the groups involved who know
the problems.

oraer for the Council to move to the Conference Room for a workshop session.

MAYOR STOMACKIN ARRIVED AT 7:36 P.M.
Council continued to discuss the proposed 1980-81 budget. Mr. Gilmore
gave them figures concerning several ways additional revenues could be
obtained; such as increasing water rates and writing a new solid waste
contract with additional charges built in. He mentioned he was not sure
how the transfer of funds from water and sewer system would affect our
bond rating. A majority of the Council felt the budget could not be
cut substantially and that the most logical way of raising additional
revenues was a tax increase of some sort.
