areas was serviced by the City of New Braunfels; however, New Braunfels informed the residents that the City would no longer provide emergency services in this area. As a result, the area residents are seeking to create an Emergency Services District. The only effect that an emergency services district would have on the City of San Marcos would be that should the City annex any area in that district, the City would need to pay a proportionate percentage of any of the district's indebtedness. The information presently available to staff indicates that the district will contract for services and that current plans do not call for incurring any debt. State law requires that the City consent to the creation of any Emergency Services District that includes territory within the City's jurisdiction, including its extraterritorial jurisdiction. Mr. Jones inquired to what the City will receive out of this. Mr. O'Leary stated the City does not receive anything. The Council then voted unanimously for the adoption of the Resolution. Mayor Narvaiz 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, APPROVING OF THE REALLOCATION OF CDBG FUNDS FROM THE GUADALUPE SIDEWALK PROJECT TO THE STAPLES ROAD SIDEWALK PROJECT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Guerrero moved for adoption of the Resolution, and Ms. Couch seconded the motion. Mr. O'Leary stated the City Council gave direction to move forward with a Substantial Amendment to the City's 2006 CDBG Action Plan, to move funds from the Guadalupe Sidewalk Project to the Staples Road Sidewalk Project in the total amount of $97,290.00. He stated this is the next step in the process. Ms. Robertson inquired to when Guadalupe Street will get funding for the sidewalk. Mr. O'Leary stated the Council will have to wait for a future CDBG process or add to the CIP. The Council then voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Mayor Narvaiz introduced an Executive Session pursuant to the Government Code, Section 551.087, to discuss commercial or financial information the City has received from a business prospect that the City seeks to have locate, stay or expand in or near the City and with which the City is conducting economic development negotiations, or to deliberate the offer of a financial or other incentive to such a business prospect (Economic Development Contract).
