The Mayor called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Hansen intro- duced for consideration extension of a sewer line to the new San Marcos Baptist Academy site outside the City limits on Ranch Road 12. The City Manager reported to the Council that the staff had met with representatives of San Marcos Baptist Academy and proposed that the sewer line be extended under the following conditions: 1. Total cost of extension of the line would be at San Marcos Baptist Academy expense. 2. The Academy would agree to relocate the force main if the line were placed in State Highway right-of-way and if such an action were required by the widening and improvement of Ranch Road 12 at a future date. 3. That the San Marcos Baptist Academy would convey ownership of the utility line to the City. Dr. Jack Byrom, President of San Marcos Baptist Academy, appeared before the Council to inform them that the Academy would attempt to obtain easements for placement of the line outside of the state right- of-way. However, Dr. Byrom continued, if Academy officials were unsuccessful in obtaining easements outside the state right-of-way they would like to ask the City to agree to share the cost of any eventual relocation of the line due to Ranch Road 12 improvements on a staggered schedule so that the Academy wou]d assume full responsibility for moving the line for the first five year period, after which a percentage basis would be established for a cost sharing program up to twenty-five years following the placement of the line, at which time, the City would agree to assume the full cost of relocation. Dr. Byrom also asked that the Academy be authorized to approve future taps to the line so as to give San Marcos Baptist Academy priority of service on the sewer line. ~1r. Hyatt and Mr. Breihan encouraged the Council to consider allowing the Academy to contract the sewer line extension. Mr. Sutton and Mr. Tenorio disagreed stating that they felt the City should contract the work. Mr. Hyatt moved to authorize the staff to proceed with plans on the project subject to Council approval of the final construction contract and agreement with San Marcos Baptist Academy. Mr. James seconded the motion which passed unanimously. The Mayor introduced for consideration the award of a bid on a sewer line extension to the South Industrial Site. The City Manager reported that the staff had been working with International Electric Corporation representatives and had determined that the proposed sewer line improvement plan was inadequate to serve the site. Mr. Gonzalez recommended that the Council table consideration of the item until January 7th. Mr. Hyatt moved to table further consideration of the item until January 7th. Mr. Sutton seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
