XIV. COMMENTS BY STAFF
Tom Newman thanked the Council for the opportunity to serve the City,and the staff for their help and
support. He reported that a letter of thanks had been sent to Schertz and Buffington Homes had been
reimbursed. Flood relief was approved by the President,but the toll-free number for claims was out of
service. The Deer Creek flood plain indemnification papers were given to Ron McCrary for signature.
Applicants are being interviewed for the part-time public works position. Repairs have been made to the
1985 Dodge pick-up and 1992 Ford staff car.
Keith Gilbreath informed the Council that there will be some minor lot-line revisions to the Deer Creek
plat map in order to save some trees. The Red Ball Cafe will be moved the week of July 23rd,and Mr.
Ling asked to have the permit fee waived. Mr.Newman expressed a desire to encourage service to the
community,and discourage application for waivers that do not. He would reserve waiving fees for cases
that provide such service. The Council agreed that Mr.Ling did meet that criterion,and agreed by
consensus to waive the fee.
XV. COMMENTS BY MAYOR
Jeff Miller inquired as to why we had such high water during the flood and recommended collaboration
with Schertz to gain some answers. Keith Gilbreath informed Council that our emergency approached
500-year flood levels. Water in Cibolo Creek was so high that it backed up into Dietz Creek to the level
we experienced.
