City Council Meeting Minutes March 5, 2019 <br />others are fighting pipelines around the world. <br />Ryan Perkins, spoke in support of the resolution opposing the pipeline. He <br />stated that we live in Texas and that our leaders have allowed this to come <br />forward and take people's private property and put our natural resources in <br />jeopardy. Please follow suit and let Kinder -Morgan know that we are against <br />this pipeline. He stated that this will be at our expense. We live in one of the <br />fastest growing regions in the State and it will put all of our natural resources <br />in danger. He also spoke on his concerns about the Hunter Road/Wonder <br />World Intersection item regarding large truck traffic through this area. <br />Scott Cove, thanked the Council for representing us and thank you for hearing <br />citizen requests for joining in solidarity with Hays County, the City of Kyle, <br />the City of Woodcreek and so many that would be negatively impacted by the <br />construction of this pipeline. He stated that a majority of us are made up of <br />water and the idea that any company could risk our own lifeline to serve <br />themselves is unacceptable and wake up call moment. The things that sustain <br />our life should be held above profits and gain. He stated the natural gas that <br />will run through this pipeline will be dangerous for us and the Earth. He hopes <br />we can put the pressure on for investments and sustainable ways to have an <br />energy system that doesn't put us at risk. We need to consider our future <br />generations. He thanked the Council. <br />Karen Ford, representing SMARTER San Marcos and stated that she went to a <br />luncheon in Austin where the Texas Audabon Society recognized four women <br />in the State for their conservation efforts, Dianne Wassenich was one of these <br />women. She stated that today made her more aware of the potential tragedy <br />that could occur from a heavy industrial area such as the SMART Terminal. <br />She created an overlay of the project and laid it over the city to show how <br />much the area covered. She stated this is the terminal project that ate San <br />Marcos. <br />Rob Roark, addressed the Council and thanked the Clerk's Office for all that <br />they do to make sure that these meetings happen. He appreciates everyone that <br />came out to speak about health and safety. He spoke about 5G networking and <br />the health risks associated with it that we know nothing about. He stated that <br />there is a lot of concern of health risks that have not been studied yet. <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />1.
