Mr. Moore moved for adoption of the Resolution and to amend to attach the license agreement and Mr. Hart seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Morris introduced the City Manager's Report. (1) City Staff and SWT representatives have been working together on an habitat conservation plan for the San Marcos River. We have wanted to do selective desiltation at various points of the river, which requires us to obtain a permit from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, which also triggers a consultation process by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Department. U. S. Fish and Wildlife concerns stem around the endangered species, and they are therefore reluctant to grant ¡ approval of this without an habitat conservation plan. It was ! consensus in the City/SWT meeting to develop an habitat conservation ! plan in close consultation with U. S. Fish and Wildlife. One I recommendation made at the city/SWT meeting was to have an employee directly employed by U. S. Fish and wildlife and the city and SWT contribute to that cost. Mr. Gilley stated it was his opinion the person should be employed by either the city or SWT. The estimated cost for this employee would be $35,000-$40,000, and could be shared equally by the city and SWT. Mayor Morris expressed concern with the silt buildup and the city being blamed for all matters of the river through the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and how this will affect all problems that occur along the river. Mr. Gilley stated it will in some way address all those problems whether or not it specifically identifies the point and nonpoint source pollutants. The plan would not only address the immediate problem but would also deal with prevention of that recurring. This would mean looking at the Drainage, Erosion Control and River Corridor Ordinances, etc.,
