Mayor Morris introduced a discussion regarding the freeport exemption (goods in transit) and direction to Staff. Mr. Gilley advised the Council the preliminary information from the San Marcos Manufacturers Association reflects that only $30,000 in tax revenues would be lost with the exemption. The Association is interested in determining the interest in and benefit from this exemption. The requirements that must be met include making application for the exemption and the property corning into the state and leaving within 175 days. Hugh Cliett stated we are not presently geared to assess the amount which would qualify, and that it would be difficult to administer. Jim Gandy stated the Economic Development Council is gathering information regarding this exemption, and that it is possible if a company was considering more than one site that they would choose San Marcos if the exemption were allowed. Other sources of revenue could be derived from a state income tax (if allowed), bed tax or user fees. The Council directed an Ordinance on emergency be placed on the Council's March 26 agenda in the event they wish to repeal the Ordinance now in effect. Mayor Morris introduced the City Manager1s Report. ( 1) Mr. Gilley advised the Council the Blue Ribbon Bond Committee is doing a thorough job on the information provided to them and
