Mayor Morris introduced for consideration Item 6.C.(5) removed from the consensus agenda, adoption of a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CENTRAL TEXAS WING OF THE CONFEDERATE AIR FORCE AMENDING THE LEASE OF AIRPORT PROPERTY, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Moore moved for adoption of the Resolution and Mr. Mooney seconded the motion. Mr. Mooney questioned if Staff really felt losing 35% was going to be a good deal for the City. Mr. Gilley stated based on the information we have reviewed, Staff thinks it will be about equal to the same amount we are receiving now. Primarily the reason for the change is for clarification. Under the old agreement the payment called for one-half of the gross margin proceeds, and that was the confusing language. That margin deducted the CAF purchases by members and a variety of other things. By going to the 15% gross proceeds amount, it is much clearer for everyone to evaluate the accuracy of numbers, and we are also moving to a quarterly payment. The Council voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Mayor Morris introduced the city Manager's Report. Mr. Gilley reported he has been involved in a discussion regarding the Sierra Club vs. Babbitt lawsuit regarding the Endangered Species Act. The panel is still pretty much in the information gathering stage, and it is his hope as we get nearer the conclusion of the 60-day time limit that Judge Bunton has allowed this process to occur that we will have been able to actively participate and encourage all the folks on the Edwards Aquifer to reduce their pumping. That still remains our fundamental goal. The Council is invited to attend the meetings and participate in that discussion. Mayor Morris introduced the city Attorney's Report. Assistant city Attorney Collete Davis had no report at this meeting. Mayor Morris introduced the City Council's Report. (1) Mayor Morris stated in the last SMEU meeting Betty Kissler was elected SMEU Chair and Russell Thornton Vice Chair. There was also a ¡ discussion about the need to continue the SMEU Board. The SMEU Board has recommended the city Council agree to continue it, not dissolve it, based on the memo from Mark Taylor regarding the makeup of the Board that was sent out a couple weeks ago. Additionally, Mayor Morris assured them she thought the Council would want the SMEU Board to continue, but would bring it to the attention of the Council. It was also brought up the Council might want to consider a utilities Board to look over water, wastewater and electric utilities, and she told them she would pass that information to the Council. If at any point the Council wants to agendize that or get more information from Mr. Gilley, the Council can do that. (2) Mayor Morris spoke with Jeff Barton over the weekend. The County is entering into an interlocal agreement with the City of Buda. They
