-3- i) Building #7-355 - Approximate age early 50's, large single story brick and steel in structure. Exterior condition fair to poor. primarily used to teach brick and stone masonry. j) Building #7-358 - Approximate age early 40ls, single story, all wooden in structure, poor exterior condition, all windows are boarded up. primarily used as a music facility, it appeared to not be in use anymore. All these improvements have been made in place since the early 1940's. Of these, many are badly in need of repair. All facilities are on the land to be conveyed except for two, which are in use at this time. Once the land is conveyed to the City of San Marcos, usage of building #6-367 (the Fire Department) and building #7-354 (the laundry), will be retained by Gary Job Corps Center. The City of San Marcos' intent is not to raze the facilities all together, but rather lease them out to private factions. Thus, the buildings will not be improved and remodeled through the use of the public sector's funds. However, all improvements and remodeling to be done on these buildingßby a private sector will be done under the guidance and guidelines the City of San Marcos has set up. 8. In order to develop and utilize the property for airport purposes it would be necessary that the City obtain Fee Title. 9. Justification of Need: At the present time the City of San Marcos is experiencing rapid increase in demand for facilities at San Marcos Municipal Airport, and because of the airport's role as reliever to Robert Mueller Airport in Austin, Texas, additional land area will be required for airport and aviation facilities to develop. The alternative to conveyance of Gary Job Corps land is for the City to construct new apron and parking facilities at other locations and to construct appropriate taxiways and other surface access roadways to the new location. The existing facilities currently being used by Gary Job Corps Center are ideally suited for additional airport expansion and utilization without major cost to the City. The Gary Job Corps facilities presently on or within the boundary of the land area requested are in large measure in extremely poor condition and are utilized for activities that could well be accommodated within other Job Corp facilities. Continuing to utilize the land area for these relatively low levels of educational and training activity does not appear to have an acceptable cost benefit ration nor does it appear to be the highest and best use of the land when compared to airport needs.
