resolution and TxDOT agreement to do the project,and their interlocal agreement is forthcoming. He will
look into where the committed funds are. Ongoing difficulties with our computer network is prompting a

through Windows 95. He will gather figures and present the options. He also informed Council that he met
with The Schertz City Manager to discuss the billing for the 1987 Dietz Rd sewer repair,and he has
requested the County Fire Marshall to perform our fire inspections and is waiting for a response. Mr.

budget,or easy way to implement. Discussion of past efforts followed,with bulk mail to individual
