City Council Meeting Minutes March 3, 2020 <br />has resolved not to. These past 7 years have been so long and so hard and I <br />didn't know if I was worth trying. Most days it feels like I'm just getting by <br />and I'm never going to accomplish anything. But people like professors and <br />colleagues help keep me moving. I am smart and capable but I'm lost and the <br />thing that gives me any purpose or direction is school. Sitting in here, I feel <br />that I have let a lot of people down. Without trying to, I have become another <br />static and my education just took me to the place that I wanted to avoid and I <br />don't believe it. I thought someone had gotten it all wrong, today is not simple <br />and please tell me what you think I should do. I never wanted to be that sad <br />little woman, crying "Woe to me" but I don't know what else to do at this <br />point. My court date is June 18, 2010 and if all goes well, I will be released with <br />time served. If it is alright with you, I would like to make an appointment with <br />you to talk on how to strive forward on my out." I was released in July. When <br />we talk about people who are being held inside the Hays County Jail for low <br />level, non-violent offenses and misdemeanor charges. It is very likely, <br />according to the Texas Appleseed report released in April 2019 about one in <br />four people charged with nothing more serious than A class B misdemeanor <br />stays in jail longer than 3 days. This is a report that has been covered all over <br />Texas, not in one county but multiple counties in all the State of Texas. In <br />2019, San Marcos Police Department showed to arrest low level citations <br />available offenses 77% of the time, only 31 people out of 134 people received <br />citations and summons to appear in court at a later date. According to the San <br />Marcos Police Department own numbers in 2018. <br />Lisa Marie Coppoletta, spoke about feeling safe in your own home and <br />looking over the word tyrant. There is a quote "that tyrants already have some <br />slight shade of virtue and they support the laws before destroying them". Her <br />question is, is he the emperor or City Manager. There was a policy established <br />back 2013 no one sided sidewalks. There was no caveat, if we had a right of <br />way, the criteria was a right of way near grocery store, near school, or near a <br />bus stop. None of those fit the Belvin Street sidewalk project. In fact they <br />installed two bus stops to justify the project. Found out that the actual <br />sidewalk where the affordable houses, where the city worker lives is not a <br />public sidewalk but a private sidewalk. My yard got butchered is because Bert <br />didn't follow his policy. In June on TV, under the agenda item for increase <br />communication to protect historical resource and heritage live oaks, he stated <br />that all future sidewalks projects will go through the Neighborhood <br />Commission. That all future sidewalk projects would have neighborhood <br />meetings. Instead, he held secret meeting with some neighbors and because of <br />three junk cars in the drive way and three junk trucks in the street. Suddenly <br />that family got a secret meeting and my yard was butchered. She stated that <br />City of San Marcos Page 7 <br />
