City Council Meeting Minutes June 16, 2020 This is the leadership of a city manager who thinks he is the Emperor of San Marcos and the elected officials we voted in are not holding him accountable. Bert's own employee who filled out a survey he wanted a one-sided street sidewalk, and earned months of overtime making one in my yard, but refuses to have an ADA compliant one in his yard. In your packet tonight there is a robust discussion of the Habitat for Humanity policies. I've sent you the screen capture Section 5.2 Legal Issues and it discusses ADA requirements. That is a private sidewalk in front of that street sweepers house. His new urbanism house and his private sidewalk was the SOLE reason for the butchery of our yards/ And, you are breaking the ADA, that is not an ADA sidewalk. His neighbor Angela will have her Huge Live Oak butchered and mean while his yard is unscathed. Not only is the ADA in violation but it is a liability for both the city and the land owner, a city worker. So, to the Letter to the Editor writer, we have a city manager and elected officials that treat voters different. Finally, the spike in the number of cases of COVIDI9 is due to the lack of face coverings. According to the article "Study: 100% face mask use could crush second, third COVID-19 wave" published June 12, 2020 it states that "As has been well-publicized, wearing a mask primarily protects others from yourself, rather than the other way around. It is not a sign that you consider others a danger." To that effect since the article says even "Homemade coverings that catch only 50 percent of exhaled droplets would provide a "population -level benefit." Thank you for your time and God Bless San Marcos. Linda Coker: I understand that the agenda item for Cape's Dam was pulled and will addressed at a meeting later this week, but I still feel compelled to use this time. I honestly do not understand why this is still an issue. There is no money to remove it. There are no permits to remove it. But there is a group of people wanting to do what would be a boon to our community. How in the world could a bigger park, with a repaired dam be a bad thing? The East side deserves it as does the rest of the community. There are numerous arguments about the science and the historical aspects. I am going to save making comments on that for the next meeting. But I am pleading, please stop and look at the big picture. Remove ego's and biases and see that working with the County on this project would be a feather in our cap. Believe me, when you are there and seeing the beauty you help create, the fun families will be having that you brought about and the preservation of San Marcos' story, good and bad, that you helped tell; you will know that the right decision has finally been made. I am truly asking, from the bottom of my heart. Let us make a decision and move on. It is time. CONSENT AGENDA City of San Marcos Page 4
