A Resolution or some formal expression as to whether the City C6uncil wjshes to choose a site (with Housing Ass~st~nce Administration Approval) or whether they wish the Local Hous- ing Board of Commissioners to proceed with an- other site selection. "3. A Resolution or some formal expression as to whether or not the City Counci I wi II h6nor the Cooperation Agreement between the City of San Marcos and the City of San Marcos Housing Authority in the future." I Mr. Whittenberg said he felt members of the Counci I had made it clear they were in favor of additional housing units, but he felt the Planning & Zoning Commission should ~ake a recommendation on 'any site under consideration; Mr. Freudiger said he would have to get specific permission from the Regiohal Off ice. to present sites to the P I ann i ng & Zon i ng Comm i ssi on, pr i or to approva I of the City Counc i I . He axplained this was against regular procedure. Mr. Freudiger said the Regional Office insists on the selaction of "open space land" for the site. The Mayor suggested that the Counci I, the Planning & Zoning Commission, Urban Renewal and the Housing Auth- ority get together with the representative of the Regional Land Office to work out selection of a site. On anqufry, Mr. Freudiger said T.H. Callihan is the Regional Land Office representative assigned to ap- prove the San Marcos site. Allen Woods, Chairman of the Local Housing Authority, said: "Mr. Callihan I said if the Counci I insists on putting the housing in the GNRP, you can put your feet up on the desk and forget it!" Mr. Freudiger said he needed something in writing from the Counci I to get the project back on the track. Alderman Whittenberg said he would not agree to "blanket zoning" unti I the Planning & Zoning had made a recommendation. Alderman Pool moved that the City Counci I accept al I points in the letter. Alderman Whittenberg seconded the motion, with the provision that it did not commit the Counci I to approve a zoning change in spite of protest. Alderman Damon pointed out that it was difficult to make a proper motion incorporating the three points in the letter. He read each point aloud and explained why it was unsuited for a motion. There was further discussion on the Mayor's suggestion that the several groups involved work to- gether on finding a suitable site. The question being called for, the fol lowing vote was recorded: AYE: NAY: Damon, Froh, Korff, Pool, Whittenberg None The Mayor declared the motion carried. I The Mayor recognized Dr. David Conrad~ representative of the San Marcos Golf Association, who presented a contract between the City and Aquarena, Inc. for lease of the Municipal Golf Course for Counci I consideration.
