Ms. Hughson stated the Visioning Workshop needs to be scheduled for two days, and Council wants this item rescheduled for discussion since two Council Members were absent from this meeting. Mayor Chiu introduced a discussion to receive a report from the City Manager regarding the proposed Southwest San Marcos Annexation process, and for the Council to hold a discussion regarding the public hearing process. Mr. Gilley advised the Council Staff had held four public meetings on August 29 and 30 and September 5 and 6 at Solid Rock Church on Hunter Road. Mr. Gilley stated Staff and the citizens had an information exchange, and the meetings were well attended with approximately 100 each night. Mr. Gilley stated a lot of comments were made, and he wanted the Council to receive all their comments, concerns and issues raised, which he has included in a handout to the Council. Mr. Gilley stated the next step in the process will be to develop a service plan, which will be general in nature. Mr. Gilley stated the annexation statutes require a service plan with each annexed area, and that a City can add to but cannot take away any services. Public hearings are set for September 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the Activity Center, and September 24 at 6:00 p.m. at the Southwest Market located at 2601 Hunter Road (formerly Woody's Barbecue).
