77 Regular Meeting July 26, 1982 Page 5 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, APPROVING A LEASE WITH BUTTERNUT ELEC- TRONICS COMPANY, INC. FOR PREMISES LOCATED AT THE SAN MARCOS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT FOR THE PURPOSE OF MANUFACTUR- ING AND SELLING RADIO ANTENNAS; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID LEASE AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mrs. Norris moved for the adoption of the Resolution to get it on the table for discussion and Mr. Kreczmer seconded the motion. Mr. Moore moved the terms of the Lease be amended for a lease period of one year rather than five years beginning sixty days after the date of execu- tion of the Lease and Mr. Brown seconded the motion. Mr. Don Newcomb, President of Butternut Electronics, stated they had leased the premises for two years and had made capital improvements to the leased premises and would like to have a 5-year lease period and expand their opera- tion. Council Member Moore stated the City needed to analyze the value of the property for lease purposes and for this reason felt the City needed to enter into a one-year lease. Mr. Farr then moved the Resolution be tabled until such time as the City has obtained appraisals of the lease property as FAA has requested we obtain, and for this matter to come before the Council at the next regular meet- ing after the information is available, and Mrs. Mendez seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration a review of a proposed Ordinance pertaining to the composition of the new membership of the Planning and Zoning Commissions. Mrs. Norris moved that Article VI, Section 2-103 (City Planning Commission) of the proposed Ordinance read as follows: ". . . Said commission shall consist of seven (7) members to be appointed by the city council to ensure broad re- presentation and expertise." Mayor Craddock then moved to add the following language to Mrs. Norris' motion: " . , including such areas of experience as community planning, environmental protection, building and development and finance," and Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mrs. Norris then moved Article VI, Section 2-104 (City Zoning Commission) of the proposed Ordinance read as follows: " .... Said commission shall consist of seven (7) members to be appointed by the city council to ensure broad re- presentation and expertise, including such areas of experience as community planning, environmental protection, building and develop- ment and finance," and Mr. Kreczmer seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Further discussion considered a neighborhood association representative be included in the membership, but the Council decided this would be singling out a specific group to incorporate such a re- presentative in the Ordinance and preferred not to single out any specific groups to be represented, rather to leave the membership as broad as possible to give more opportunity for citizens to be in- volved in the Commissions. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of payment from contingency funds for a water system at Juan Martin de Veramendi Plaza and Memorial Grove, as requested by The Heritage Association of San Marcos. Since the contingency fund account is low, Finance Director Earl Williams proposed the Council consider funding such a sprinkler system out of revenue sharing funds expected in the new budget year. Mr. Kreczmer asked if the Public Works Department could help get this area through the dry, hot summer. Public Works Director George Boeker indicated the water system there was in need of replacement rather than repair. Fire Chief Oscar Carpenter stated he could send a watering truck to this area on a temporary basis. Mr. Stovall indicated 300 feet of new hoses and 8 or 10 lawn sprinklers could help the situation. Mrs. Norris asked for the details to be worked out with Staff. Mayor Craddock moved the matter be tabled pending revenue sharing funds in the new budget year and Mrs. Norris seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
