resolved. The curb will be restored with the driveway coming out
on to Greenshire Drive, the home will be built differently. The
people that were buying the home are purchasing elsewhere with Ron
Wood being the builder.
Councilman Greenwald:
Councilman Ken Greenwald commented he hoped everyone was using
their recycle bins. As far as how much material has been taken in
by the City, this information won't be available for about 2 or 3
months.
Ernie Evans stated he has a difficult time remembering when it is
his scheduled time to recycle.
Councilman Greenwald advised that there is a schedule available at
the Municipal Offices and it was in the newsletter. The schedule
was also in the red bins and hopefully periodically it will be
available through the newsletter.
Councilman Greenwald stated that the sales tax lost by 70 votes.
. Out of 480 cities only one city has had a sales tax pass the first
vote. It usually takes 2 or 3 votes to get a sales tax passed.
Part of the problem is that the information process never seems to
-2-
generate enough information for the citizens. The sales tax can'
not be presented again for a year due to the state law. There will
be a meeting Wednesday January 25, 1995 to canvass the votes and
make it official .
Steve Simonson
Steve Simonson advised that he was contacted today by the people
who own Tri-County Business Park and they are still concerned about
the abandoned sewer line. They want guarantees from the City of
Schertz that they will receive services if they were to hook up to
the sewer line. Mr. Simonson stated he wrote back to the Company
stating the policies for the City with hopes that something may
become of this soon. Until the documents are signed it is still an
open deal.
Tony Moreno asked what the company thinks it is liable for.
Steve Simonson stated he was not sure but when you get lawyers
involved they seem to interpret things differently.
Steve Simonson stated he also received a call advising him that
Arby's is looking at property behind Jack-N-Box. Steve Simonson
commented that it could start looking like a Pat Booker Road soon
up on the corner of IH 35 and FM 3009 with all the fast food
restaurants. Steve Simonson stated because of all the traffic
generated in that area, businesses are doing quite well.
Councilman Greenwald commented that Universal City has lost a very
prominent business, Golden Corral. The employees were not notified
before the company just closed the doors. They are in the process
of building a new building on IH 35 and Loop 1604.
Steve Simonson advised just for information the spring clean-up for
this year will be from February 25th through March 12th. The
dumpsters will be on FM 2252 due to the fact that Alamo Waste has
moved.
#6 ADJOURNMENT:
David Richmond moved to adjourn the meeting. Tony Moreno seconded
the motion, which carried with a unanimous vote.
Chairman Pia Jarman adjourned the meeting at 9:05 p.m.
