99 Regular Meeting April 14, 1997 - Page 2 met Hood Street at the intersection of Hazelton. Mr. Wade stated this was done in response to the 911 system. Mr. Wade stated Mrs. Perkins has been devastated because she had inherited that land in the 50s and had donated part of the land to the City for part of the cemetery at no cost. Mr. Wade stated he would be forwarding a memo to the Mayor with all the specifics and would appreciate it being forwarded to the proper departments. Mr. Robbie Robbins stated his personal opinion was that the City staff was unresponsive to the taxpayers and citizens of the City. Mr. Robbins stated problems have - been ongoing for several months. Mr. Robbins stated there had been a vocal exchange between the City of Kyle and the City of San Marcos regarding the Champions Business Park. Mr. Robbins stated he had attended the last two Kyle Council meetings and he was able to obtain a copy of the agreement which seemed to be very secretive. Mr. Robbins stated he had been told he would be on the Council agenda tonight and was not. Mr. Robbins stated he was appalled when he went to the City Secretary's office because he was trying to get on the agenda for tonight and was referred to the City Manager's office and no one knew anything about him being on the agenda. Mr. Robbins stated he thought everything had been approved. Mr. Robbins stated if the City cannot work an agreement with Kyle, the City should service the area with water. Mr. John Holtermann stated he was informing the Council the Lieutenant Governor had pulled the plug on the deregulation for the utility company so the matter was dead for now. Mr. Holterman stated he is also a member of the Methodist Church and on April 24th the House of Representatives has a proclamation to recognize the church as the oldest Protestant Church in San Marcos. Mr. Holtermann stated he would like to invite some of the Council and citizens to meet at the rotunda for pictures. Mr. Guerra stated he had been discussing with Mr. Gilley the matter of Mr. Reyna and he did not have an answer. Mr. Guerra stated it appears Mr. Reyna has raised some issues that need to be addressed and the last time Mr. Reyna appeared the Council forwarded him to Ms. Womack, and he did not know why. Mr. Guerra stated he did not know what solutions the Council had to get him to interact effectively with Mr. Patterson, Planning, Mr. Ronson and Mr. Gilley. Mr. Guerra stated there is tremendous frustration between staff and Mr. Reyna and this is not the forum to resolve the issue Mr. Reyna has raised, but he would request the Council come to a resolution of those issues. Mr. Guerra stated the worst thing would be to send Mr. Reyna home, thank him for showing up and that was it. Mr. Cox stated in regard to Mr. Robbins issue it was his understanding the City of Kyle had approved an agreement to sell water at retail rates to take care of Mr. Robbin's problem and secondly he was told the City of Kyle had received the allocations from the Edwards Aquifer and as a result of that allocation, which was lower than had been expected for the City of Kyle, they had reduced the amount of water which was going to be made available. Mr. Gilley stated the City of Kyle had changed their amounts significantly which was fine with the City of San Marcos, but the latest problem was they changed the various fees of the contract. Mr. Gilley stated the contract has to be brought back to the Council for further discussion. Ms. Hughson stated she would like for these issues to be resolved but they are not on the agenda to be discussed. Mr. Guerra stated he would like to request both of these items be placed on the next agenda for discussion and to have everything available which relates to communication between City staff and Mr. Reyna and Mr. Robbins. Mr. Taylor stated staff will bring back these two items on the next agenda, one being Mr. Felix Reyna's permit request for a residency he intends to build, and Mr. Robbins issue regarding water service to Champions Business Park and to have the staff track some of the history from the staffs perspective to be presented to the Council for direction to staff.
