Pledge of Allegiance Councilmember Porterfield led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance. 7. Citizen Comments Camille Phillips, P.O. Box 654, stated that state law requires the City sign a development agreement with the developer and also requires it be filed with the county clerk. The City and Craddock Avenue Partners are the parties involved and either one can file. Neither has filed, and they are both in violation of state law and of their own agreement. She wants the viewing audience to know how the City conducts business; "pretty.near.perfect." Chris North, 1407 Prospect, signed up, but was not present. i s Lance Duncan, 1400 Clarewood Drive, #420, reported on a parking situation at the Tantra Coffee House. There are parking spots next to the Price Senior Center and also a vacant lot. The owner of Price Senior Center has had people towed. Anytime after five o'clock there are many empty spots. He talked to the owner and was told that the City owns those spots. He asked if something can be done. Shawn Blakeley, 420 Craddock, stated he has concerns on the consent agenda. First, he is concerned with the grants through Homeland Security and the USDOJ. He noted that the federal government is in dire straits financially, and with federal money comes federal strings. Local governments express their resentment of federal intrusion, but then they open the door for money that can be gotten from other sources. He wants San Marcos to be self - sufficient. Secondly, he is concerned about the $815,344 for the Wonder World extension. We are approaching 15% cost over runs. This is a lot of money for things that should have been planned for in the beginning. Rob Roark, 1804A Hunter Road, reported that last Friday he went to Panhandlers on Wonder World to hear some music and saw the work still needed on Hunter Road, e.g. hanging tree limbs, which he helped to remove. He wants to be involved, and stated that we don't need another level of bureaucracy. The people can see what is going on in the neighborhoods, and can report to the City. He stated that he is also concerned with items on the Consent Agenda, RM061510 Minutes Page 2 •
