Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration what matters the Council wanted to submit to the Texas Municipal League pertaining to needed new state legislation that would help the City of San Marcos. Mayor Craddock stated she would like to see Senator Doggett's recommendation that cities having sizeable tax exemption properties be compensated in some manner by the state by payments in lieu of taxes since about 40% of the City of San Marcos is tax exempt properties. Mr. Farr stated he would like the state legislature to consider container legislation which would aid in our solid waste management problems, such as the State of Oregon, in which there is placement on every aluminum can of ten cents deposit and return. Ail containers have a deposit and return fee, which would help immensely because they would be recycled. Mrs. Norris moved these two suggestions be submitted to the Texas Muni- cipal League and Mr. Farr seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
