crew from Bexar Metro. He commended the entire City staff for their parts in the non-stop 36-hour effort,
and informed them that a radio had been lost in the battle. Gail Douglas requested that,in the future,all
Council members be notified in emergencies so they can respond to questions,and inquired regarding the
overtime budget. A mailing has been prepared asking citizens to conserve water until the repairs are
completed. Mayor Bauder commended the staff on their efforts. On other issues: County will seal coat
Borgfeld soon,and has a contractor seal coating their portion of Haeckerville Rd. We are getting a bid
from A contractor for Haeckerville,but can also tie into either of the County's projects by requesting it.
The city received notice from EAA denying our permit application,and CRWA has altered the route of
their line,but will still deliver to the same point in Cibolo. The transition into our new computers was
slowed by virus problems,but is back on track. Park rest rooms have been painted by Custom Design
Shutters,Inc.. A Cibolo Creek Resident Assoc.initiative is underway to use federal assistance program to
clean up the sides of Cibolo Creek. (A brief discussion raised a consensus that it would not be a feasible
program for the City at this time.) Green Valley SUD requested the City engineer contact them regarding
connection of our well. TML performed a safety survey recommending several repairs in the park,cleaning
up the City property on N.Main,and complimenting the Public Works Dept..
Keith Gilbreath informed Council that the park plans were corrected,and the bid opening date had been
pushed forward to April 30.

Pfeil. He commended the obvious dedication.
