125. Regular Meeting November 13, 2000 Page 6 Mayor Chiu introduced the City Council's Report. (1) Mr. Cox advised the National League of Cities has a University Communities Committee, and one of the discussions they will consider will be parking problems in college communities. Mr. Cox has been asked to chair this committee, and they will be sharing their experiences. (2) Mr. Cox stated he has been representing the City on the Hays County Parks Advisory Board, and his term has expired. He is willing to serve again if the Council wants him to, or someone else can serve. It was consensus of Council for Mr. Cox to continue serving on this committee. (3) Mr. Cox stated a citizen who resides in the ETJ has voiced concern regarding visual obstructions by Grande Communications' lines. The citizen stated the lines are an infringement to the otherwise scenic views and would be less obstructive if the lines were placed higher. It was consensus of Council to agendize this matter for discussion. (4) Paul Mayhew stated during a Sector 3 meeting, there was a discussion regarding how code violations are handled when there is a neighbor with more than two unrelated persons living in a residence where that is not allowed. Mr. Gilley stated that is a difficult issue as the City must prove who the occupants of a residence are. Ms. Sherri Russell stated one way that is done is to see what cars are parked each morning at a residence, and the City must establish a pattern. Mr. Mayhew stated there is no code enforcement officer. Ms. Russell stated the City uses a paralegal for some research. The Council stated they want to further discuss this issue. Mr. Moseley stated if the owners or managers are held responsible instead of the residents, they will get the message and deal with this, and the City could have a better handle on this problem. It was consensus to agendize this matter. (5) Ms. Tatum stated Linda Kindred has been ill and unable to serve on the Sesquicentennial Committee. She would now like to participate on this Committee. Mr. Doiron wants her to be a part of the Committee. Mayor Chiu introduced an Executive Session pursuant to the Government Code, Section 551. 086, to discuss commercial or financial information the City has received from a business prospect with which the City is conducting economic development negotiations, or to deliberate the offer of a financial or other incentive to such a business prospect (South IH35/McCarty area). Mr. Moseley moved the Council adjourn into Executive Session at 7:57 p.m. and Mr. Doiron seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Ms. Hughson moved the Council reconvene at 8:49 p.m. and Mr. Mayhew seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
