Alderman Stokes introduced the possibility of the Local Public Agency acquiring the St. John's Catholic Church property, and stated he wished "to go on public record as being opposed now and at any future time to suchan action". He read the following statement: I "I have been informed that the San Marcos Local Public Agency is considering the possibility of adding St. John's Catholic Chwrch and its parochial school to the area to be acquired by the LPA for the college expansion program. "This has given me considerable worry, since the City Council promised the people of San Marcos at the inception that this program could be accomplished without an increase in taxes or a bond issue. "I consider the area and the program delineated by the Council at its inception as the maximum possible under this program with the accrued credits that the City has to offset the City's 25% share of costs. To include the Church at this time, I am convinced, would cause the LPA to have to materially reduce the scope of this program in the river area, or the City would have to have a bond issue tp raise its share of the cost. "1, therefore, wish to go on record, publically, as being oppos- ed to the inclusion of the Catholic Church in the program at this time, and 1 wish to call upon the LPA to cease spending any public funds toward that end." Mayor Taylor stated that he concurred in everything that Mr. Stokes had said. A general discussion of the subject ensued. Alderman Ruiz reported that he had been working with Attorney Henry Kyle on procuring easements for public streets in the Cruz Partition.
