Mayor Morris opened the question and answer session with press and public. Council Member Rick Hernandez stated the School District had plans to close Broadway between Hwy. 123 and FM 621 and make it into a parking lot. Mr. Hernandez was concerned this will create a bad situation for traffic flow from the Wallace Addition, River Road, FM 621 to DeZavala, and Highway 123. Mr. Hernandez stated the Superintendent for the SMCISD, approached the State to try to receive funds to improve the road or to take the road as a State road. Neither the State nor the City will not take it. Mayor Morris suggested the City try to get with the State to redesign the 5-point location to be a more workable intersection. Mr. Gilley suggested submitting a Resolution to the State to try to get the 5-point intersection. Mr. Moore suggested that the City, State, and School get together and put money on the table to try to solve the problem. Mayor Morris directed Mr. Gilley to contact the State to see if they will revisit the situation. Mr. Hernandez then questioned Mr. Gilley regarding the cost of building shelters for children waiting on buses, perhaps in parks and residential areas. Mr. Gilley stated he would get a per-unit cost for the shelter. Mr. Gilley gave special thanks to the Council and staff for a extremely successful budget process. Mayor Morris also thanked Mr. Gilley and the staff for an outstanding job. Mayor Morris introduced an Executive Session pursuant to Article 6252-17, section 2(e), V.A.C.S., to discuss pending litigation (Sierra Club vs. Lujan; GBRA vs. Texas Water Commission).
