Regular Meeting December 10, 2001 187. Page 13 wanted a delay to the first meeting in January. Mr. Mihalkanin then moved to table the Resolution until January 14, 2002 and Mr. Montoya seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Chiu introduced for consideration Item 25 removed from the consent agenda, adoption of a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, APPROVING AN EXTENSION OF THE CITY'S WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS TO SERVE TWO TRACTS OF PROPERTY OUTSIDE THE CITY, ONE AT 200 SPRING ROAD, AND THE OTHER AT 1627 GORDON STREET; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Ms. Hughson moved for adoption of the Resolution and Ms. Tatum seconded the motion. Ms. Hughson asked if the properties were contiguous to the City, and Mr. Gilley stated he did not think so. The Gordon Street property is for the development of multi-family units, is outside the City limits, and therefore unzoned. Mr. Gilley stated this is for the extension of water services. Ms. Hughson expressed concern that if this request is approved that the multi-family units will be considered approved as well. Mr. Taylor suggested the Council deny the Resolution if they want to review the matter. There is no zoning to prohibit this development, and approval is discretionary on the part of the Council. Ms. Hughson asked if one could be approved and the other denied. Ms. Hughson moved to amend the Resolution to delete service to Gordon Street and Mr. Mayhew seconded the motion. Mr. Cox asked if there was another source of water they could connect to, and Mr. Gilley advised they are in the City's service area. Mr. Cox stated this may not be in the City's best long-term interest to deny service. Ms. Hughson withdrew her motion to amend and Mr. Mayhew withdrew his second. Ms. Hughson then moved to table the Resolution to December 17 and for Staff to bring further clarification and Mr. Mayhew seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Chiu introduced for consideration Item 28 removed from the consent agenda, approval of Change Order No.6 to the Construction Contract with Du-Mor Enterprises, in the amount of $36,185.00 regarding construction of Bishop, Belvin Street 12" Wastewater and Miscellaneous Water Transmission Improvements. Mr. Cox moved for approval and Ms. Hughson seconded the motion. Mr. Mayhew asked Ms. Anderson about the number of change orders and increase in the total contract price. Ms. Anderson stated state law does not allow a contract to exceed 25% of the original contract amount. The Council then voted unanimously for approval of Change Order No.6 (Mr. Montoya not present to vote on this item). Mayor Chiu introduced discussion items. Due to meeting, the City Council delayed the following they be placed on the December 17, 2001 agenda: membership fees, (2) duplex zoning regulations, the length of this discussions and requested (1) Activity Center (3) building heights in
