City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 29, 2018 applaud you for your efforts. Kevin Katz, spoke on Transportation Plan and the Craddock extension. Mr. Katz attended community meetings that discussed this extension and the rationale behind this appears to be due to the growth of Wimberley and the difficulty of traveling to I-35. The cost is a factor but also the ecological effects it could have on the springs and the resources of our community. Continual discussion of this topic makes it looks like it is going to happen at some point. We need to understand if we want this or not There is a large number of people that do not want this. Dianne Wassenich, Representing the San Marcos River Foundation regarding the Craddock Extension. Maps were presented to council earlier in the week that summarizes all the dye testing that has been done in the last 20 years. If you allow this to be on the plan, the very next election the balance of council could shift and the road could be built very quickly. Take the time to listen to someone from FAA to answer your questions about dye tracing and the effects this extension could have on the community. In the future we will be asked why we didn't stop this. It could affect water quality and quantity. Please get the information you need from the experts. Roland Saucedo, stated that as citizens we put hope and faith in Council. You have done a great job with bringing City Manager Bert Lumbreras to the community and he has done a great job in the short time he has been here. When we are frustrated, we lash out and say things through emotions and we need to strive to be better humans. We all make mistakes, but with the strife in the nation right now we really need to humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness and forgive others. Don Eysson, spoke on the Craddock Extension and the La Cima rezoning. La Cima project was passed by a previous council and consistently citizens voted that their number one concern was the River. This project is located above the largest cave systems in Hays County. La Cima is behind schedule and they are asking for an additional 60 acres and this is premature. Please do not approve this rezoning at this time. It is on a recharge area and it is not necessary. Craddock is one of the same concerns, located over a sensitive area and it is critical we protect our river. PRESENTATIONS 2.
