Mayor Moore introduced a discussion regarding Parking Management Plan for Downtown San Marcos and direction to staff. At the last City Council meeting Mr. John D. Edwards presented the Parking Management Plan. Mr. Gilley stated staff is seeking City Council direction on how to proceed with the recommendations contained in the report. Implementation of portions of the plan based on past discussion with the Council has begun. Mr. Gilley stated he would need information on the Parking Bank, towing and two-way streets. The Council agreed with all immediate items to be looked at and to proceed with them. The City Council would like some information regarding a Parking Advisory Committee and to discuss with the Texas Department of Transportation the two-way streets. Mayor Moore introduced a discussion regarding the IH-35 Crossing Proposal and direction to staff. Mr. Gilley stated the Texas Department of Transportation has provided an estimated cost of two connections and the closer we get to TxDOT's widening, the more committed they will be. Mr. Gilley recommends no more than sixty days for the Council to make a decision. The Council has concerns on the amount of money that would be spent on this project and the River. Mr. Gilley will research possible grants for funding. Mr. John McBride stated the importance of a decision being made because the City is growing rapidly and there needs to be some relief on the congestion that has been increasing throughout the years. Ms. Hughson stated the earliest reasonable Bond Election for this proposal would be in May of 1999. Mr. Mihalkanin suggested the Council postpone the project so that they may discuss their options. Mr. Gilley stated we could ask TxDOT for a schedule to have a decision made by Spring verses postponing the project. Mr. McBride stated he would have liked to have the proposal on this Election so that the citizens could have made a decision and the Council have an idea of how the citizens felt about
