Mayor Morris introduced a discussion regarding the designation of angle parking on Comanche Street in front of 425 Comanche and direction to Staff. The Council expressed concern for the access of emergency vehicles and felt if changed to angle parking would create a serious safety problem. It was consensus to leave parallel parking. Mayor Morris introduced a discussion regarding a parking survey on Hutchison Street between Guadalupe and Comanche Streets and direction to Staff. The Council wants to know how many feet from the corners are designated no parking, does the Police Department have a recommendation regarding parking in this area, and doe s the Police Department have a survey of accidents occurring in this area? Mayor Morris introduced a discussion of the City of San Marcos' participation in the San Marcos proposal to the Confederate Air Force. Vicki Fruit of the Economic Development Council reviewed with the Council a proposal, possibilities for financing and a listing of the Confederate Air Force's needs. It is estimated it would cost the City $1.7 million to provide wåter and wastewater to the Wade property. Mayor Morris stated SWT has property adjacent to the Airport and possibly the City could trade City-owned property for SWT's property. Monty Nitcholas of First Southwest Company, the City's bond consultant, advised the Council with Certificates of Participation a building would be owned by the finance corporation and leased. If the City only pledges the revenues generated from C.A.F., it would be difficult to finance, as the holder would want more backing. The City would need to obligate additional funds, such as hotel/motel tax, to strengthen the commitment. John Anderson, Chairman of the Airport Commission, stated the Commission supports the City's effort to locate C.A.F. at the Airport. Jack Doughty advised C.A.F. would have to pay for usage of the Airport's runways. The Council requested a listing of information be provided to the Council what other investors are willing to provide.
