64 Regular Meeting May 26, 1981 Page 2 Mr. James introduced for consideration a Resolution, the caption which was read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING THAT RESOLUTION OF JANUARY 12, 1981, WHICH DECLARED THE POLICY OF THE CITY COUN- CIL FOR THE REAPPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS AND BOARDS, COM- MISSIONS AND AUTHORITIES OF SAID CITY TO THE SAME BOARD, COMMISSION OR AUTHORITY, TO EXEMPT THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION FROM THE TERMS OF SAID RESOLUTION AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mrs. Norris moved to adopt the Resolution and Mr. James seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. James asked to receive the Master Plan progress report from Mr. Randy Hankamer of Freese and Nichols. We are presently in Phase III of the Master Plan. Phase I put together the interim Zoning Subdi- vision Ordinances. Phase II was the citizen-input meetings from the neighborhood sector. Phase III is the actual writing of the draft of the Master Plan. Phase III began January 12, 1981 and we have seven months for completion, which will be August 12, which will include a public hearing before the Council. On May 21, the Master Plan Committee held a public hearing to consider the Master Plan draft which covers the overall goals, sets the tone of the Plan and represents the City's attitude towards the planning in San Mar- cos. Mr. Hankamer advised the Council to pay especially close atten- tion to the wording of the policies, because once the Plan is adopted, it will be the official policy of San Marcos. The actual draft will be completed by July 17. Prior to the final public hearing, Mr. Hankamer suggested that there be a joint workshop with the Master Plan Committee, Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council on the wording. Phase IV (after final draft), the Committee will go back to the neighborhoods for more input on the womding and Phase V the draft will come back to the Council for adoption of the final plan. It will probably be winter before the Plan comes back to Council for adoption. Mr. Hankamer suggested that the public hear- ing date be extended to the end of August. Mr. John Morrisset, Chair- man of the Executive Master Plan Committee, also suggested that the date of the public hearing be extended until the end of August so that the Council would have more time to properly review the Plan prior to the public hearing. Mr. Hankamer then indicated that the Land Use map in the Council Chambers is the only colored map and is a graphic representation of the policies of the plan. It is his recommendation that the Council sign the map as well as the Plan. Mr. James asked City Manager Gonzalez to set a date for a joint workshop and Mr. Gonzalez indicated he would get alternative dates from the Council to set up the Workshop. A copy of the preliminary master plan will be retained in Master File No. ADM 260 - May 26, 1981 Agenda Packet. Mr. James introduced for consideration six nominees for the Board of Equalization.
