City Council Meeting Minutes April 4,2017 <br /> Gary Cutter,Hays County Sheriff, stated that they are requesting the variance <br /> to expand the jail facilities. In order for that to happen, they have to move <br /> their vehicle maintenance shop. He described that they would put up a <br /> masonry wall to act as a buffer, and he invited the Council to join him and <br /> another group that will be taking a tour tomorrow of the facility. <br /> Will Conley,Hays County Commissioner, apologized to the Council for the <br /> presentation the first go round. He feels that they did not explain their <br /> intentions clearly. He stated that if there is anything that should be granted a <br /> variance it is this, after all it is the only jail in town. He stated that they have <br /> worked very hard to ensure that this fits on this piece of property, and not <br /> impact anything else around them. He stated that for public safety reasons <br /> they have to design it and build it a certain way,and that they are on a very <br /> tight budget. He mentioned that in order to ensure that there were not any <br /> visibility issues, they would have to add several cameras and that is not possible <br /> financially. <br /> There being no further comments,Mayor Thomaides closed the Public <br /> Hearing at 7:20 p.m. <br /> A motion was made by Mayor Thomaides,seconded by Council Member <br /> Gregson, that this Resolution be approved.
