Regular Meeting April 26, 2004 107. Page 3 Ms. Narvaiz moved for adoption of the Resolution and Mr. Diaz seconded the motion. Dr. Sylvester Perez stated he is the Superintendent of San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District. He stated the school district is considering the purchase of property located at the intersection of Old Bastrop Road and McCarty Lane for a new high school facility, and property donated by Randall Morris for an Elementary School in the finicality of 123 and 266. The biggest issue they must address at there sites is safety. They are looking at a traffic impact study and may need traffic lights on 123. They are working with TxDOT hoping to move this priority up on their projects list, and working with the County as well. The school district wants to partner with the City and County with the expenses for infrastructure. Ms. Narvaiz inquired whether this request for Water and Wastewater coincides with the CIP projects. Mr. O'Leary stated the school district has been working with staff, and he feels the timing of the new school will coincide with the Cottonwood Creek Interceptor project. Mr. O'Leary stated generally the developer is required to pay for the infrastructure cost of the project. Water and wastewater is in the area, ~but the developer has to get the service to their property. He also stated this Resolution is to show that the City is working on the project, but the Council will need to decide who will be responsible to pay for what at a later date. Laurie Anderson, Director of Engineering Department, stated this request for water and wastewater is already in the CIP for the 2004-2005 Budget as Phase 1 and Phase 2.
