City Council <br />Meeting Minutes September 3, 2019 <br />(Thompson's Islands: On The San Marcos River in Hays County),"A ditch was <br />built to channel the water to the mill by the manpower of slave `hands' who <br />rhythmically chanted as they plied their strength with pick and shovel to carve <br />out the ditch." She continued, As San Marcos and Hays County officials <br />contemplate a parkland swap, may they also earnestly consider paying tribute <br />to the Brady family who, among numerous others tragically forgotten to <br />history, lived and labored on that land, building up the unearned wealth of the <br />Thompsons and indeed the San Marcos community." Why not rename the <br />historic site "Brady' Run?" We've celebrated the slaver long enough, its time <br />to free the River. <br />Sara Lee Underwood -Myers, came into to say hello. She wanted to bring to <br />our attention some things coming up on our calendar. Tomorrow there is a <br />forum with the Four Rivers Realtors at the Activity Center as a way to meet <br />our candidates. CONA will also be hosting a debate as well in October at the <br />Dunbar Rec Hall. There will be a community clean-up that will be held on <br />September 14th and then another one that will be on October 12th. Lastly, she <br />submitted a letter to the Daily Record and would like you to read it. She stated <br />that Sept 7th is the kick-off for the mermaids. She asked that everyone <br />participate in the parade. <br />Jordan Buckley, stated that yesterday ended the 72 hour film race. He spoke <br />about the Lost River Film Fest will be next month and VIP tickets are <br />available.

He also thanked City Manager Bert Lumbreras for his support. <br />Kim LeBlanc, Productions and Community Relations Specialist, with the <br />Texas Film Commission, spoke and introduced their program and what they <br />do. She stated that they only have over 132 communities and we only have one <br />that has taken the initiative to come up with a challenge like this. The 50 <br />locations in 50 days has created a new wave and enthusiasm towards our <br />industry. She would like to thank: Kristy Stark, Rebecca Ybarra-Ramirez, <br />Sarah Smith with the Convention & Visitors Bureau, Anita Collins, Adriana <br />Cruz, Texas State University Leadership, Randy Polk and Jordan Buckley.
