Mayor Morris introduced for consideration Item 6.B. (1) removed from the consensus agenda, the caption which read as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING SECTIONS 29-109 AND 29-110 OF THE SAN MARCOS CODE OF ORDINANCES BY THE ADDING AND DELETING LOCATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES IN THE WESTOVER ADDITION OF SAN MARCOS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; REPEALING ALL CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; PROVIDING A PENALTY; PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Ms. Kissler moved for approval of the ordinance on second reading and Mr. Plummer seconded the motion. Mayor Morris stated she was contacted by a resident who lives on Dartmouth Street who has stated to her that residents from Westover are concerned about the removal of the stop sign at Dartmouth Street and Hazelton and several other streets along Dartmouth because it has made it into a raceway. The Mayor asked for a solution to fast traffic in the Westover area. Mr. Gilley stated that Dartmouth Street is now a through street. Because of the way the Traffic Control Plan was designed, it was to allow primary streets such as Dartmouth to carry through traffic and secondary streets to have the stops signs on them. Mayor Morris moved to amend section 3 to the ordinance to add a stop sign at Dartmouth and Hazelton, North-South. Mr. Plummer seconded the motion. Mayor Morris asked that a solution to the through street situation and fast traffic be brought to Council and she would be glad to have the Ordinance amended again. On roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYE: Hernandez, Hart, Morris, Kissler, Plummer NAY: Moore, Guerra ABSTAIN: NONE. The Council then voted unanimously for approval of the Ordinance on second reading. Mayor Morris introduced for consideration Item 6.G.

He stated that in the past it has been brought to his attention that there had been low bidders who had been awarded the bid from outside the City and it has been alleged on occasion that some of those low bidders were not current on their ad valorem taxes to their respective municipalities. He asked if it was legal for the City to ask that this be a requirement as part of their bid. Mr. Taylor stated that yes the Council could require this. Mr. Hart moved the contract be amended by inserting the appropriate language in 5.12 so that those bidders be required to be current on their ad valorem taxes in their prospective municipalities. Mr. Plummer seconded the motion. On roll call, the following vote was recorded:
