Rudy Klein stated that the water coming off of The Ridge of Deer Creek should be going through
Borgfeld property,which would be the natural flow. The berm that has been constructed on his
property is forcing the water down Sunflower. Looked at several different options to include taking
the water down behind Sunflower,but the city would need the easement from Borgfeld to be
completed. The developer of The Ridge of Deer Creek has already agreed to pay for this. Attorney,
Aric Garza,from Susan Rocha's office, recommend table the issue till the May 7th meeting to have a
executive session concerning potential legal action,believes this could be classified as a public
nuisance. David Keck stated that he was concerned if there is a large rain between now and when
they fix this. He has problems with water when there is only two inches of rain. Michael Marie

his six-inch step at his front door. Glenda Keck was concerned about why the new subdivisions
coming in aren't responsible for the drainage before they start building. Councilwoman Epperson
replied by telling her that the council is giving geographical maps that show the natural flow of
drainage and did not reflect the berm on the Borgfeld property. Chuck Balcar stated again that the
developer has offered to pay for this. Councilwoman Epperson made the motion to disapprove the
advertisement for drainage project on Sunflower. Seconded by Councilman Glisar. For: All,
Against: None.

Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District and the East Central School District.

having to travel 26 miles each way to school and joint the children that already go to Clemens that
live across the street. Councilman O'Brien made the motion to approve the authorization of the
Mayor signing the Letter of Support to the school district. Seconded by Councilwoman Epperson.
For: all, Against: None.
