#2 CCMA SEWER SYSTEM: Mayor Bueker read a letter he had
received from Esmereldo Tamez, who
lives in Rittimann addition, asking why his neighborhood could
not be included in the CCMA project. It not only is in the
CCMA project area but also is in the City of Schertz extra-
territorial jurisdiction. Mayor Bueker explained the problems
involved under existing law to incorporate Rittimann Addition
into the regional concept. He had written a letter to CCMA
requesting they consider including Rittimann Addition in the
CCMA collection system, which met with Council approval.
#3 GENERAL DISCUSSION: Mr. Arnold requested Council's
wishes regarding the City re-
pairing undedicated streets in Oak Forest Subdivision. He
has had several phone calls from residents as well as the
developer, Coy Simmons, stating Mr. Simmons will not repair the
streets and as tax payers, they feel the City should do the re-
pairs. Council agreed to have Mr. Arnold obtain a release from
Mr. Simmons to repair the streets and then have City crews do
the work. Also City Attorney Harris should be requested to
check the laws governing the length of time involved whereby
a street becomes pub1ic"if no objections have ever been voiced.
