WHEREAS, "Blue Hole", as it is known to many Texans, is one of the oldest <br />attended swimming spots in the State. The spring-fed, deep, clear waters of Blue Hole, <br />surrounded by large cypress trees, have been a favorite summer spot for many years. <br />The site is and has been under private ownership for as long as the property has been <br />deeded. The site has been under contract for three years for use as a residential single <br />family and multi-family development. The development contract has expired. With the <br />purchase of this property, this very special Texas jewel will be preserved through <br />conservation and rehabilitation efforts; and <br /> <br /> 2. WHEREAS, the development of a joint partnership between Texas Hill Country <br />communities, private sector and non-profit supporters and other political jurisdictions has <br />created an environment in which to acquire and develop the Blue Hole property for the <br />purpose of significantly increasing appreciation, understanding and active conservation <br />of habitat, birds and other wildlife for current and future generations through education, <br />community involvement and sustainable nature tourism; and <br /> <br /> 3. WHEREAS, there is a desire on the part of each of the partners to work <br />together to realize such a project as the "Blue Hole Park" at Wimberley Texas; and <br /> <br /> 4. WHEREAS, the village of Wimberley Texas has taken the first steps of hiring <br />the services of a professional design team to develop the Blue Hole Park; and <br /> <br /> 5. WHEREAS, in order to fully realize the favorable conditions now evolving for <br />regional cooperation in general and for acquisition and development of Blue Hole Park, it <br />is necessary that each of the jurisdictions commit to support the project; <br /> <br /> NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY <br />OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS: <br /> <br /> PART 1. The City of San Marcos supports the planning, design and <br />implementation of Blue Hole Park. <br /> <br />PART 2. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its <br /> <br />passage. <br /> <br />ADOPTED on January 26,2004. <br /> <br />Robert Habingreither <br />Mayor <br /> <br /> <br />
