Min CC 03/16/1972 Excerpt From Minutes of Meeting o;f
Cibolo City_,Council off°
March 169 1972
A discussion of the Thoroughfare Study was the first
order of business since the maps were required at the
Universal City- Council .meeting the same night. In
general the Thoroughfare Study correlated very closely
,,<ith' sur Master Plan as being prepared by t�forman and
1,4ok. However;. it was deficient in three respects.
The Council felt that the Green Valley Road (an east-
,;est artery between Farm Road 1103 - 3009 and on to
1518.'Y should br shown as a major thoroughfare in the
Study. The Study included suffieent North-south i
thoroughfares but , vaas considered deficient in east-
Pest circulation.
�he second deficiency was the failure to show an
east-west connection between Farm Road 1103 (along
Its present east-west section) and on west generally
along the present county road known as Borgfield „
Road and intersecting 3009 near the high sD hool in
Schertz.
The third discrepancy was the failure to note the exist-
Ing City Park on the Study Map.
CITY OF CIE OLO
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 16, 1972
The regular City Council meeting was called to order at' '
7: 35 P.M. on March 16, 1972, with all members present .
A discussion of the Thoroughfare Study was the first
order of business since the maps were required at the
Universal City Council meeting the same night. In
general the Thoroughfare Study correlated very closely
with our Master Plan as being prepared by Mormon and
Mok. However, it was deficient in three respects.
The Council felt that the Green Valley Road (an east-
west artery between Farm Road 1103 - 3009 and on to
1518) should be shown as a major thoroughfare in the
Study. The Study included sufficent north-south
thoroughfares but was considered deficient in -east-
west circulation.
The second deficiency was the failure to show an
east-west connection between Farm Road 1103 (along its
present east-west section) and on west generally along
the `present county road known as Borgfield Road and
intersecting 3009 near the high school in Schertz.
The third discrepancy was the failure to note the exist-
ing City Park on the Study Map.
These comments were to be transmitted to the A-E for
incorporation into the Study.
The upcoming annexation by the City of San Antonio and
its impact on Cibolo was discussed at some length with no
action taken.
Minutes were read and approved as read.
The financial report was read and accepted.
Most of the trees purchased the past month for planting
in the City Park have been purchased and donated by various
citizens of Cibolo, many as a living memorial to the
late Mr. Ernst Schlather.. Many have also been purchased by
local citizens for planting in their own ,yards . Consequently,
the city has incurred a negligible expense in the planting
of these trees.
Mr. Dean, Director of the Parks and Recreation Dept. , report-
ed a current balance of 01800. in their saving accou_nt' and
4541. in their checking account. He proposed to transfer

4300. from the checking account to the saving account,
permission for which was granted by the Counc_i-1.
Mr. -.Ling proposed and Council concurred in writing a letter
to Commissioner Campbell confirming the verbal contract
between the City and the Count
y ,concerning the sale of gra-
vel from the City Park t.o the County.
The Council reaffirmed the stand that Mormon and Mok should
provide a minimum of three possible esthetically pleasing
designs for the front fence of the City Park. Mayor
Schlather is to contact Morman and Mok to assure that they
have these designs available to the City Council for our
next regular meeting. Morm n and Mo'�- had presented the
City with a bill for 0900. reccommending that s,4e hold the
remainding 4350. to assure completion of the remainder of
the work. Howe=ver, a motion was made by Dykes, seconded
by Niemie'tz, and passed to pay them ��2000. on account and
hold the remainder until completion of the Master Plan
including zoning ordinancesand subdivision ordinances.
This action was taken partically because of the poor pro-
gress made by the contractor in the development of this
Master Plan and partially due to the volumne of work .to
be completed.
Mayor Schlather reported that in the nearing yesterday
(March 15, 1972) the Texas -dater Quaility Board gave final
approval to the Cibolo Creek Municipal Al thority (COMA) as
the regional sewage treatment entity. With this approval
rapid action ' is anticipated 'in obtaining a new regional
sewage treatment plant.
Mayor Schlather reported that there was no news concerning
Guadalupe County cities eligibility for federal funds
through .AC OG.
The - franchise requested by GVEC- at the last council meeting
was discussed- at length.- It was decided by the council to
investigate futher the desirability of granting a franchise
for electrical service in the city. Mayor Schlather is to
attempt to obtain -a speaker on this subject for the next
council meeting.
The construction of the sewer system, the possible future
extensions of the water supply system, and the extension of
the city liraits were- discussed.
