The Mayor Pro-Tem called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Mr. James introduced for consideration nominations to the Master Plan Committee and the Executive Master Plan Committee. Since all Council Members were not aware of the vacancy on the Master Plan Committee 72 hours in advance, Mrs. Norris moved to table the consideration of the nominations to the Master Plan Committee until the July 6, 1981 meeting and Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Brown advised that Stephanie Langenkamp~'s nomination was being withdrawn due to her involvement with the Envirornnental Ordinance Committee. She did not feel she would have time to serve on the Exe- cutive Master Plan Committee also. The Council then voted on the two nominations to the Executive Master Plan Committee, who were members of the Master Plan Committee, Richard Cruz and Harry Stewart. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Brown, Cavazos, James, Mendez and Norris. NAY: Kreczmer. ABSTAIN: None. Mr. James then opened the public hearing on the items to be included in the City of San Marcos Bond Program. Mr. John Morrisset, Chairman of the Executive Master Plan Committee said the Committee felt the City needed capital improvements. He expressed their concern in the City having a bond program prior to the completion of the Master Plan. The Committee felt that the Bishop Street area was certainly a priority area to be considered in the bond program. Mrs. Beth Morrisset wanted to know what issues were being considered for the bond program, and Mr. James advised her that would be covered thoroughly in the meeting and if she had any questions afterwards, she would be free to ask them. Mrs. Jerri Martin and Dr. Ken Long expressed objection to the length of the bond program and Dr. 'Long also expressed strong reservation to the bond program including Bishop Street prior to the completion of the Master Plan. Mr. James introduced for consideration approval of the items to be placed in the Bond Program. Mr. Jim Byrn discussed the estimates with Council on the Bishop Street project and alternatives that could be used. City Manager A. C. Gonzalez reviewed with Council the items and amounts to be in the bond program as decided upon at the June 24, 1981 Workshop.
