The Council voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Mayor Morris introduced for consideration Item 7.C. (5) removed from the consensus agenda, adoption of a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, GIVING THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH INTERESTED PARTIES CONCERNING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS PROVIDED THAT PERSONAL NOTICE OF ANY NEGOTIATION IS GIVEN TO THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Hernandez moved for adoption of the Resolution and Mr. Moore seconded the motion. Mr. Brown moved to amend the Resolution in Part 1 to add the City Manager and City Attorney to be involved in the negotiations and Ms. Kissler seconded the motion. The Mayor stated the City Manager and City Attorney are both made aware of the negotiations in Executive Session. The Mayor stated if the Council did not want the Mayor to be the negotiator, then she suggested one Staff Member be involved rather than naming three, as it would be cumbersome. Mr. Plummer stated he does not want a Staff Member to be the negotiator. Mr. Brown stated in dealing with economic development he thinks it is helpful to have more than one person in negotiations. Mr. Plummer questioned the need to have three representatives of the City traveling out of town. Mr. Guerra stated he wants the negotiations to continue with just the Mayor and for her to have the appropriate Staff Members when it is needed. The Mayor stated she would like to have a Council Member involved in the process with her. Mr. Brown stated it is difficult for him to get the full context of the negotiations with the involvement of only one, and that he thought different perspectives would be helpful. Mr. Gilley stated he thinks Staff has been involved in the process. Mr. Brown expressed the need for the Mayor, City Manager and City Attorney to be involved in negotiations, and Mr. Guerra stated if three were needed, then three Council Members should negotiate, as Staff should not be in the process of negotiating. Mr. Brown asked Mr. Gilley what is the present custom and Mr. Gilley stated this is a relatively new involvement for Cities and was being handled in many ways. He stated whatever works best for each individual City is being implemented. Mr. Brown then suggested the Mayor, a Council Member and a Staff Member negotiate. Mr. Brown moved to amend Part 1 to include the Mayor and a Council Member be involved in the negotiations. Mr. Brown then withdrew both his amending motions for lack of support from the Council. On roll call for adoption of the Resolution, the following vote was recorded: AYE: Moore, Hernandez, Guerra, Kissler, Plummer. NAY: Brown. ABSTAIN: Morris.
