The Council voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Hayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of a map of the Voting Precincts of the City of San Marcos, as were approved by the County Cowmissioners on February 27, 1984. This map includes all the City's annexations in 1982, 1983 and-through January 9, 1984. The Council voted unanimous approval of the map. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Board to allow non-profit service organiza- tions to use the old Softball Field parkland for fund-raising events with the approval of the Parks and Recreation Department, subject to revision. 110 Johnson, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Boar~ was present to make the above recommendation to the Council. He said the Board wanted to review the use of the parkland on an individual basis. Mr. Farr suggested the legal department draw up a standard contract that could be used by the non-profit organizations using the property and that documentation should be presented where the funds would go that are raised. Hayor Craddock said we should proceed to draw up guidelines. Mr. Brown said he wanted a liability clause to hold the City harmless included. Mr. Hankins said there were already certain procedures that had to be followed, such as if tents are used, the Fire Department has to inspect, and we have a permitting process when liquor is to be consumed. Mr. Guerra said he wanted criteria set up by the Parks Board and Parks Department. Hr. Farr then moved that non-profit organizations that want to use the old softball parkland for fund-raising events should approach the Parks Board and the Parks Board make decisions on the use of the parkland until such time as the legal department can draw up a standard contract to be used. Hr. Gonzalez said the policy for use of parkland and/or park faci- lities, such as the property in front of the sewer treatment plant and Dunbar, has been determined internally, and the Council may wish to review the use of all parkland rather than just the old softball field parkland. Mayor Craddock stated she wanted the policy to remain the same until standard guidelines could be drawn up to be used for parkland. Hayor Craddock seconded Mr. Farr's IIDtion, whid1 passed unaniIIDusly. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval for the Shrine Club to use the old softball field parkland for their annual carnival from Harch l6-April 1, 1984. A member of the Shrine Club said all funds raised would go the the Crippled Children's Hospital in Houston and the Burn Center in Galveston. Mr. Brown moved for approval and Ms. Kissler seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
