W. McDonald Corporation vs. City). Mr. Guerra seconded the motion, which passed unanimously (10:23 p.m.). Mr. Brown moved the Council convene and Ms. Kissler seconded the motion, which passed unanimously (11:28 p.m.). Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration the disposition of the Girl Scout Hut in Ramon Lucio Park, or in the alternative, the adoption of a Resolution approving the demolition of the Girl Scout Hut located in Ramon Lucio Park by the First Baptist Church of Kyle, Texas and author- izing said church to retain lumber and other scrap materials in exchange for said demolition services. Mr. Farr moved authorization to bid the removal of the building and Mr. Guerra seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration adoption of a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE EMPLOY- ME NT OF MICHAEL J. McMAINS, OTIS W. SNYDER, JR., AND GARY N. MATTHEWS FOR THE PROVISION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING AND EVALUATION SERVICES TO SAID CITY IN CON- NECTION WITH THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS POLICE DEPARTMENT; APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED CON- TRACTS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BETWEEN SAID MICHAEL J. McMAINS, OTIS W. SNYDER, JR., AND GARY N. MATTHEWS AND SAID CITY TO EXECUTE SUCH CONTRACTS AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Farr moved for adoption of the Resolution and Ms. Kissler seconded the motion. Mr. Guerra then moved all the wording in both contracts for professional services in Section 2 following "$60.00 per hour" be deleted. Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Council then voted unanimous approval for adoption of the Resolu- tion. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of a proposal from URS Engineers for engineering services to implement Appendix F - Drain- age and Erosion Control Ordinance of the Code of Ordinances and consider direction to be given Staff. Mr. Gonzalez stated with there being no city engineer on staff, he wanted the Council to consider the proposal of URS Engineers to handle our engineering concerns during the interim period between city engineers. Mr. Farr stated he would like the City to use a local engineer, but Mr. Hankins pointed out the conflict of interest in a local engineer reviewing his own applications. Mr. Farr suggested we contact SWT for engineering services. Mr. Farr also suggested we contact Freese and Nichols regarding a different proposal than the one first submitted. Mr. Brown thought it might be proper for the City to contract with Freese and Nichols during the interim period since they are familiar with the City's operations. Mr. Codding- ton suggested the City contact an employment agency fQrthe hiring of an interim engineer. Mr. Brown stated he was still ln favor of growth paying its way even during the interim period. In order for the City to pursue Mr. Coddington's suggestion, Mr. Guerra moved to reject the proposal of URS and Mr. Coddington seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
