Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration the adoption of a Resolu- tion accepting the Airport Master Plan Study and approving the Study for use and implementation by the City, the caption which was read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, ACCEPTING THE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN STUDY FOR SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, COMPLETED BY CHARLES WILLIS & ASSOCIATES, INC., OF DALLAS, TEXAS; APPROV- ING SAID STUDY FOR USE AND IMPLEMENTATION BY THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. During discussion Mr. Brown asked Mr. Charles Willis, whose firm pre- pared the Master Plan, how the plan was chosen from the selection of alternatives, if the landfill was taken into consideration and in what manner the Plan could be updated, what provision was made for this purpose. Mr. Willis advised the Plan. was selected over the alterna- tives because it had the most flexibility and was the most econominal of the Plans to develop and the Airport Commission recommended this particular plan; the existence of the current Landfill was considered; and as a rule of thumb the Plan should be updated every five years and their firm would be pleased to be involved in the updating process. Mr. Willis added a further comment that the Airport Commission had done a very good job and had been most cooperative in helping with the Plan. Mayor Craddock announced Council would receive the Tax Assessor/Col- lector's report to the Council of the calculated effective tax rate per Truth in Taxation requirements of Article 7244c, Sec. 1, V.A.C.S. Mr. Charles Stone, Tax Assessor/Collector, had calculated the tax rate, which may not be exceededby more than three percent by the govern- ing body of the City without holding a public hearing as required by Article 7244c, Section 2, V.A.C.S. That rate is 98 cents per $100 of value. The three percent increase would permit a maximum 1981 tax rate of $1.00 per $100 of valuation that may be adopted by the Council without advertising the increase and holding a public hearing. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval to raise the tax rate and to set a hearing date. Mr. James moved to table this item until later in the meeting and Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
