Joseph Ptak, 505 Patricia, San Marcos, related to the City Council his 3.5 years experience with a • local low power radio station. He noted that the community listened and turned off their televisions and turned on the radio. Neighbors were able to discuss differences respectfully. Listeners became programmers. It was because of the intimacy with and loyalty to the station that allowed low power FM to be so effective when disaster struck. He requested that he be considered for appointment to the task force. Diane Wassenich, 11 Tanglewood, San Marcos, spoke regarding the annexation in item 26. She is putting together research for the San Marcos River Foundation to look at property in this area. This tract was bulldozed and clear cut last year, impacting the recharge zone. The area also apparently has the second longest cave system. There was a bat cave and three known caves that are now not apparent. She has aerial photos of the area, before and after, and will be presenting this evidence to the proper authorities. She hopes the City Council understands the grave responsibility involved when taking over a recharge zone into the city. This property will face serious problems in coming months. 6.
