The Minutes of a regular meeting, January 10, and a special meeting, January 17, 1972, were approved as presented. II I I The Mayor opened a public hearing on establishment of a perma- nent zoning classification for various properties within the City Limits. A plat is attached and made a part of the Minutes. Mr. Yarbrough explained that the Planning & Zoning Commission had requested the hearing, but inasmuch as all the properties presehtly under comsideration were already zoned "R-l" (single- family residential), and so indicated on the zoning map, an integral part of the Zoning Ordinance, no ,additional ordinance would be required. Dr. Tauch moved that the properties indicated on the plat be zoned "R-l" as indicated on the official zoning map. Mrs. Emery seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Mayor introduced an ordinance and read the caption, as follows: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ORDINANCE WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE REGULATION, LICENSING, IMPOUNDING, SELLING AND DISPOSING OF ANIMALS BY ADDITIONALLY PROVIDING FOR THE IMPOUNDING OF DOGS RUNNING AT lARGE; PROVIDING A NEW SECTION OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, TO BE DESIG- NATED SECTION 3-20; DELETING SECTION 3-46 AND REPLACING IT WITH A NEW SECTION UNDER THE SAME NUMBER; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE I Mr. 'Yarbrough said passage of the ordi nance would require en- largement of the pound and additional personnel - items not on the current budget. He asked the City Manager for more precise figures on the proposed extended program. Mr. Gresham said ex- pansion of facilities would cost about $2,000.00, and about $1,000.00 for additional salary and supplies. He said the pres; ent warden only works three days a week; the amendment to the ordinance would require five days a week. The City Manager said two people had told him they were in favor of the "leash law"; none had voiced opposition to it. Mr. King said six people had spoken to him about it - two for; four against a IBash law. He said he ~hought it would be unwise to initiate a new program until it could be budgeted. The City Manager said it might be proper to table the ordinance until it could be implemented.
