XIV. COMMENTS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS
Bob Glisar asked about the Master Plan. Chuck Balcar had talked
to Phillip earlier that day.
Mark Buell asked about the striping for the new police cars and
mentioned that the Cibolofest was getting geared up and to expect
a shorter event this year. He also complimented the City' s
response to the sewer backup over the weekend. There was
discussion on having a run at next year' s Cibolfest.
Jeff Miller said that the CRWA board had decided that they wanted
no new members and wanted nothing to do with SAWS. There is no
real movement since last month. . .but Bexar Metro said if they put
in the water line, then Cibolo would only be responsible for the
line from the Bexar main line to the Cibolo lines.
XV. COMMENTS BY STAFF
Chuck Balcar reported on a meeting he had that day in Schertz
concerning water issues. SAWS was there and expressed and
interest in GBRA water from Lake Dunlap.
He also reported that the vehicle that was to be taken out of
Police service had more than 100, 000 miles. He presented four
scenarios for possible use of the vehicle. Bob Glisar asked if
Chuck had a preference. Chuck said that at first he was against
keeping it, but on second look, since the City bought it new and
was aware of its maintenance history, and it had so little
salvage value, the City could keep it until it needed a major
repair then sell it for salvage value. Mark recommended that we
keep it for general use and see how it works. The Mayor said that
since Chuck did not mind using it in lieu of a car allowance that
would save the City $1200 a year.
Bexar E911 has agreed to help pay for the Fire Department
equipment.
Chuck said that he would be out of town skiing next Friday.
