25 Regular Meeting January 23, 1984 Page 2 Mr. Guerra then moved to reappoint Dan Farlow, James E. Smith, Margie Villalpando, Ollie Giles and Geneva Gomez, and Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of the recommen- dations of the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Bond Election April 7, 1984. Mayor Craddock moved to approve the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Committee as to the General Fund and Ms. Kissler seconded the motion. Mr. Brown said he would like to see the Barbara Drive street and drainage project added to the street and drainage recommen- dations, but after discussion he decided not to amend to add this item, as the Council will have the option to place this money in the priority needs of the City, which could fund the Barbara Drive project in the future if the Council determined it to be a priority project. Mr. Guerra moved the telesquirt be eliminated from the bond program, but the motion failed for lack of a second. Joel Barnard and Augustin Lucio of the Blue Ribbon Committee both spoke in favor of the tele- squirt because our city is growing and we now have many two and three story structures that could utilize this equipment in a fire. Mr. Brown moved the Public Works Complex in the amount of $700,000.00 be presented on the ballot as a combination project of 1/3 utility fund and 2/3 general fund and Ms. I\:issler seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Council then voted unanimously in favor of the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Committee for the General Fund.
