Regular Meeting June 20, 2006 Page 7 1 PURCHASE OF A PARK PAVILION THROUGH THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT PURCHASING COOPERATIVE BUYBOARD; AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING MANAGER TO EXECUTE PURCHASING DOCUMENTS WITH THE STATE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Mihalkanin moved for adoption of the Resolution, and Mr. Guerrero seconded the motion. Mr. O'Leary stated the original pavilion was constructed during the Park's development and the roof is deteriorated and needs to be replaced. A site review found that the pavilion is located in the San Marcos floodway, which changed the project from a replacement to a relocation/replacement project. The new site is located south of the existing pavilion and is in the floodplain. He stated the old pavilion will be demolished and most of the slab will be removed in the future. Rodney Cobb, Parks and Recreation Director, stated the new pavilion will be located off the parking lot of the road that leads into Rio Vista. Mr. Diaz inquired how the pavilion was located in the floodway. Mr. Taylor stated the pavilion was built before any Federal rules were created. The Council then voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Mayor Narvaiz introduced for consideration Item 14, removed from the consent agenda, adoption of a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: I A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A REVISED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE REGIONAL WATER RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT GROUP; AUTHORING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Guerrero moved for adoption of the Resolution, and Mr. Diaz seconded the motion. Mr. O'Leary stated the SAWS Board of Directors last fall approved an update of San Antonio's water supply plan. The remaining RWTDG members have agreed to revise the Interlocal Agreement in light of the withdrawal of SAWS. He stated there are 4 revisions: 1. removed requirement that RWTDG be the exclusive vehicle for acquisition of Edwards water rights, 2. updated the agreement language to show the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) as the new agent for RWRDG and removed obsolete references to SAWS, 3. redefined the Management Council composition requirements for large municipal representation, and 4.updated and streamlined language to provide greater flexibility and usefulness. Mr. Bose inquired why SAWS withdrew from RWRDG. Tom Taggart, Director of Water/Wastewater, stated the SAWS Board of Directors last fall approved an update of San Antonio's water supply plan, one element of which calls for SAWS to serve as a wholesale supplier of water to entities such as the Imembers of RWRG. This new role is not compatible with SAWS being a member of equal footing with other RWRDG members with respect to water rights acquired by SAWS. The Council then voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution.
