31 Regular Meeting March 6, 1995 Page 4 made a one-way road. Mr. Gilley advised Staff has no problems with the requests except the one-way designation, because this road connects residential additions to one another and would restrict some access now available to emergency vehicles. George Boemerman of the Lions Club stated they thought it would be safer if it was made one-way on Cape Road and are requesting a curb cut on Riverside for easier access of the River Taxi. Mayor Morris asked if they thought there may be a problem in raising their rate, and requested they consider family and season tickets. Messrs. Freeman and Knotts of the Lions Club stated San Marcos is losing tourists to Gruene, and they want to offer more here to keep the tourists in town. They stated if the Lions Club makes more money, they will be able to give more funds to the community. They plan to advertise to promote the tube rides and stated they had not advertised previously. Mr. Gilley was directed to bring amendments to the Council for consideration. Mayor Morris introduced the City Manager's Report. Mr. Gilley had no report at this meeting.

(2) Mayor Morris stated the Council will hold a public hearing on the Budget Policy Statement at the March 27 Council Meeting. (3) Mayor Morris advised the Council Santiago, Mexico wants to have a sister City relationship with San Marcos. The sister city Mexico/USA costs $100.

If they pay for their expenses when they come to San Marcos and San Marcos pays for their own expenses if we visit Santiago, there will be more financial accountability that way.
