City Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2019 <br />the City of San Marcos get the 2007 populations and all subsequent <br />populations corrected which affect the ETJ lines. She hopes the creation of the <br />Municipal Utility District #8 is entirely separate from Caldwell County. She <br />mentioned the Planning and Zoning Commission recently reviewed the <br />Watershed Protection Plan for the Katerra Development. She stated the <br />commissioners did not have access to the same maps and watersheds the City <br />Council had access to. She stated a concrete channel is dug around the entire <br />Katerra Complex and ends at culvert at Hwy 80 this is a very low flood prone <br />area. She also expressed her concern regarding the New Land Development <br />Code and how this has not been tested on a project this size. <br />Jacob Montoya, addressed the Council and congratulated Council on <br />everything they are trying to accomplish. He stated his issue is not easy to <br />speak about and that is roads. He spoke in regards to the Wallace Addition, <br />Durango Street, Victory Gardens, Roosevelt Street, Patton Street, Alabama <br />Street, Church, and Park. He stated these roads run around three public parks. <br />He encouraged Council as they move forward to go and travel those roads. <br />These are areas in predominately Hispanic or poorer neighborhoods that have <br />been neglected for years. This is un -excusable and a disgrace to be represented <br />in such a way. This is absolute disregard to the neighbors that live there. He <br />also spoke on Mill Street and the agreements made with the city regarding <br />certain access points. There is an emergency access that should be gated, but it <br />is not. Please have Staff look into these issues. <br />Diana Baker, addressed the Council and thanked Council and Staff for all of <br />their hard work. She spoke on the Notre Dame Cathedral fire and it reminds <br />us how much we value history, art, mystery and icons. Be lovers of art, mystery <br />and icons and remember that people need beauty and joy in their life. When an <br />imaginative person comes forward with a dream to bring beauty and joy to our <br />city, please pay attention and dream with them. Cities need to be more than <br />just brick and mortar, emergency plans, policy and police and fire protection. <br />There is one element that separates mediocre cities from great cities and that is <br />a little bit of magic. The mermaids are magical creatures. The Mermaid Society <br />has also reached out to the City of Salado and they hope to collaborate in the <br />future. Naming the City the Mermaid Capital of Texas makes our City more <br />mythical. <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br />A motion was made by Council Member Rockeymoore, seconded by Council <br />Member Derrick, to approve the consent agenda, with the exception of items # <br />City of San Marcos Page 4 <br />
