The following individuals spoke on this item: Rose Brooks, 308 Magnolia, San Marcos, Texas, mother of Michele Burleson, owner of American Maid, said it is her birthday and she has lived here 76 years and has an interest in San Marcos. She wants to see the money stay in San Marcos. They have worked hard in this city, hire local people and care about our city. They have a personal interest in the city and in these buildings. When her daughter had the contract before, she was young, but now she is knowledgeable and has a hard-working husband and family. Her daughter is a minority three ways; she is a woman, black and young. Holly Wood, 300 S. Stagecoach Trail 43302, San Marcos, Texas, shared a comment she had made to the Mayor: Support local business, and practice what you preach. If they meet all the qualifications, then it is a no brainer. This is a local company that pays taxes, hires 15 local people, and support local businesses. When a local company meets the qualifications, there should be no question. Why would we want our money to go to Austin, Lockhart, Seguin, or New Braunfels? They have contributed a great deal to the quality of life in San Marcos. • RM081809 Minutes Page 5
