Min CC 03/14/2000 MINUTES OF THE CIBOLO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 14, 2000
1. Call To Order—Mayor Bauder called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. in the
Municipal Building, City of Cibolo, TX.
2. Roll Call—Mayor Pro Tem Ridge and Councilperson Tokar were absent. All
other members were present.
3. Invocation—Councilman Glisar gave the invocation.
4. Pledge of Allegiance—Mayor Bauder led the pledge.
5. Citizens to be Heard—Ms. Sherry Meyer and Mr. and Mrs. Keas both expressed
their opposition to the installation of"hand cutoff"valves to their respective
water lines. Both citizens stated that, in their collective views, the City was the
party that instituted the change in how water meters were to be read. If any
costs were to be incurred with this change the homeowner should not be charged
for any expense the change would bring about. By placing locks on City owned
water meter boxes to protect the proposed electronic meter reading devices the
City would be denying the resident access to the meter and the cutoff. Mayor
Bauder thanked the citizens for their input and stated the City will address their
concerns after further data is gathered and current estimates of costs are
revalidated.
