The ILA and <br />amendments are how we implement and pay for it. <br />IV. Question and Answer Session with Press and Public. <br />Lisa Marie Coppoletta asked why these HCP items are on back to back <br />meetings?

Ms. Howard said TxDOT was a sidewalk project. Ms. <br />Coppoletta asked if there is an environmental analysis being done on the <br />current plan. Ms. Howard stated the HCP is a federal plan so there is a full <br />array of permitting. <br />City of San Marcos Page 8 <br />
