178 Regular Meeting November 9, 1998 Page 2 when she asked this be placed on the agenda. She does not think a ten percent reduction is enough relief to assist the flood victims, and the reduction is not needed by others. Mr. Moseley moved to table the Ordinance until later in the agenda for the City Attorney to provide amended language for the Council's consideration and Ms. Hughson seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Moore introduced for consideration a public hearing and adoption of a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING RESOLUTION 1998-125R WHICH APPROVED THE ALLOCATION OF 1998 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING AND RESOLUTION 1997-104R WHICH APPROVED THE FUNDING TO REALLOCATE FUNDS FROM PHASE III OF THE DOWNTOWN SIDEWALK PROJECT TO THE FLOOD MITIGATION PROJECT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mayor Moore opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak. No one did, so Mayor Moore closed the public hearing. Ms. Hughson moved for adoption of the Resolution and Mr. Mihalkanin seconded the motion. The funds are for homes damaged by the flood that received fifty percent or more damage, which total approximately seventy homes. The Council voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Mr. Mihalkanin moved to remove from the table the Ordinance on emergency considered earlier in this meeting temporarily decreasing water rates established under Section 86.231 of the City Code, and Ms. Hughson seconded the motion, which passed unanimously (Mr. Doiron not present to vote on this motion). Ms. Hughson moved for adoption of the Ordinance on emergency and to amend the Ordinance in Section 1. to read, "The water rates established . . . are amended for all addresses confirmed by the City as being damaged by the recent flooding, to charge for the lesser of 1) the water usage for the addresses during the previous month's billing period, and 2) the current month's water usage for the addresses, for all billings scheduled for mailing on November 9, 1998, November 16, 1998, November 24, 1998 and December 1, 1998. . . .", and Mr. Hernandez seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
