The Council directed the City move towards increasing the fund balance to twenty percent by year's end because of the volative sales tax, and Mr. Gilley stated there may be a need to look at other revenue sources in order to achieve that and we can look at this matter at the end of the fiscal year to see where we are. Mr. Cox asked if there are any funds budgeted for the stormwater utility district, and Mr. Gilley stated there are approved bond funds available.

Mayor Morris introduced for consideration reconsideration of a contract award to Hunter Industries for the Centerpoint Road Improvements Project on August 8, 1994; and adoption either of a Resolution rescinding that contract award and rejecting all bids for the project, or a Resolution amending the award amount for the project. Mayor Morris stated the city awarded a contract for expansion of Centerpoint Road between the west end of the overpass and the outlet mall, and Staff has advised the City Council of a $1,000.00 error in the award amount (should be $325,378.60 instead of $324,378.60). The Council has also discussed whether or not the city wants to proceed with the widening of Centerpoint when the State does not have plans to realign the overpass until 1996. Two Resolutions were prepared for the City Council to consider. It was consensus of Council to consider adoption of the first Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, RESCINDING THE CONTRACT AWARD MADE TO HUNTER INDUSTRIES FOR THE CENTERPOINT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT; REJECTING THE BID OF HUNTER INDUSTRIES AND ALL OTHER BIDS RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO AN INVITATION OF BIDS FOR THE CENTERPOINT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Mooney moved for adoption of the Resolution and Mr. Guerra seconded the motion, which passed unanimously (Mr. Guerra not present to vote on this item). The Council wants the present funds available to remain in CIP to run parallel with the State's overpass project, and Mr. Gilley stated Staff believes the project will cost more than the present funds available when the project is done.
