I The Mayor said it was in order that names be placed in nomination for appointments to the Planning & Zoning Commission in October. He recalled that David Pool had resigned, effective at the end of his term, and that Mr. DeLa Rosa had submitted the name of the Rev. Alphonso Washington for ~onsideration. Mr. Yarbrough said Dr. Stanley Sissom would continue to serve, if reappointed. Mr. Etheredge submitted the name of Dr. Alfred Borm. Mr. Flores submitted the name of Bob Barton. The Mayor said members of the Council had received copies of a lengthy report from the Fire Prevention and Engineering Bureau 6f Texas on the San Marcos Fire Department. He asked that Council- men study the Report, which stated that San Marcos was complying with rules and regulations, but made suggestions for continued improvement through providing more personnel, more equipment, and increased water supply and pressure. Mr. Yarbrough discussed the importance of the Federal Flood In- surance Program, and the fact that too few persons who are eli- gible had taken advantage of its benefits. He said there was a real danger that the Federal Government might withdraw the program if more interest were not shown. I Mr. King said he had had several enquiries about the possibility of a leash law for dogs. Mr. DeLa Rosa said he had been contacted by citizens on the same matter. The City Manager agreed to study the feasibility of amending the existing ordinance regulating dogs within the City Limits, to include a leash requirement. Mr. King called attention to the copies of minutes of the Sept. 2 meeting of the Environmental Advisory Committee which were included in Council packets. He asked Mr. Juan Palomo, present at the meeting, if there were any recommendations made by the Committee which should come before the Council. Mr. Palomo referred to an amendment to a motion he had made that concerned Hughson Meat Co.'s compliance with Texas Water Quality Board's regulations, in order to make it more definite.
