Rail? Bus —Rapid Transit, dedicated lane <br /> • Can we provide information on traffic before citizens get on the highway? Can <br /> we compile information from TXDOT and make available other than via App (for <br /> those who don't use them)? <br /> 7) COUNCIL RELATIONS <br /> Represent the community as a whole and promote clear policies and direction to <br /> staff, building public faith and confidence in City government and its leadership. <br /> Rationale: With so much we agree upon, for the things we don't, it is important <br /> that we speak as one for our community by celebrating respectful compromise to <br /> reach consensus. <br /> • Provide agenda information as soon as possible <br /> Council provided direction for the City Clerk to send out the worksheet following <br /> agenda setting and the rolling agenda. <br /> 8) INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS <br /> Promote greater efficiency of resource utilization through partnerships and <br /> increase public confidence in government. <br /> • Discuss having regular meetings with other agencies: Schools, Chamber, etc. <br /> City of San Marcos Page 4 <br />
