110 Regular Meeting September-9, 1996 Page 7 Industry to Hospitality Association and Mr. Guerra seconded the motion. Ms. Hughson stated Hospitality Association has been approved several times by the Council and noted it was first used in the original composition and followed in minutes. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Mihalkanin, Hughson, Guerra. NAY: Hart, Moore, Hernandez. ABSTAIN: None. The motion failed. Mr. Taylor advised the Council the wording he used on Page 3, in Section 3.D. was to allow the Council latitude if the Council wishes to change this language. In preceding years the Contract permitted outside agencies to name their representatives and this time the Council is making their own nominations and not allowing those groups to designate. It was consensus of Council to leave this language as is. The Council then voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Ms. Hughson asked if the Contract could be amended at a later date, and Mr. Taylor stated with the consent of the other party. Mayor Moore introduced for consideration Item 12.C.(S) removed from the consensus agenda, adoption of a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: 3 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE GREATER SAN MARCOS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL AND THE SAN MARCOS AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996-97; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Guerra moved for adoption of the Resolution and Ms. Hughson seconded the motion. Mr. Neighbors advised the EDC Meeting last week discussed the EDC budget regarding computer equipment and savings that would bring for more information being mailed out to businesses and when to initiate this, either the end of this fiscal year or the start of the new fiscal year. Mr. Guerra asked for information regarding the increase in salaries from 1996 of $68,347.00 to 1997 of $77,100.00 affects how many salaries, and Mr. Neighbors advised it affects the salaries of Mr. Neighbors (200), the Director (1000), the Assistants (1000), Bookkeeper (5 or 100) and Receptionist (10 or 150). Mr. Guerra asked Mr. Taylor what accountability is there for the seven Goals listed in Section 1 being achieved, and Mr. Taylor stated there is no remedy to the City if those Goals are not met, but there is a requirement on Page 5, Section 2.A. they provide the City a performance report. Mr. Taylor stated the key has been they prove themselves through this report and through the funding process on an annual cycle; and failing to do so they risk not being funded next year. Mr. Guerra stated he wants the Council to look at a better process and way to award the CVB and EDC Contracts, whether-through RFP or bid. The Council then voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Mayor Moore introduced a discussion regarding a request for funding from Green Guy Recycling Services. Mr. Guerra determined he may have a conflict of interest, filed an affidavit and left the Chambers. Ms. Hughson stated she wanted the Council to take a comprehensive look at waste management rather than address the matter piecemeal. Mayor Moore stated he felt this was a separate issue, and the City needs to look at a comprehensive waste management program for our community, and he feels we are a part of the CAPCO and LCRA regional solid waste plans. Neighborhood cleanups and toxic collection sites are needed, and too much recyclable material in this community and nationwide is not being recycled but rather landfilled at some hazard and at great expense. Kyle Hahn, owner of Green Guy Recycling Services, stated SWT began recycling in 1986 and recycling has dramatically increased since. then. In January, 1995 SWT made a decision to only be involved in campus recycling, and Mr. Hahn began a separate recycling center. The amount of recyclable materials has increased and the profit margin has decreased. Mr. Hahn stated the curbside recycling program is very beneficial but is only a piece of what is needed for
