Councilor Ammons expressed concern about large sums of money being expended for

Lynn is no longer on retainer. In the future we will not be authorizing outside legal help unless
there is a conflict.

workers compensation. Chief Bachman informed that it is one year's time. Interim City Manager
stated that after 12 months an evaluation has to be performed and resolution is made from that.

control issue.
586
Item 9b continued
Councilor Gonzalez asked if there was a load limit on neighborhood streets. Interim City
Manager replied that it is not enforceable unless we post load limit signs. Chief Bachman agreed
with the Interim City Manager. If someone is over the load limit we contact the Department of
Public Safety to weigh that vehicle.
Councilor Gonzalez said he had received complaints from the residents in Edgecliff
Addition. Interim City Manager will look into that situation. Councilor Gonzalez noted that their
main concern was for the safety of the children.
Councilor Norrie asked about the water meter situation. Interim City Manager replied that
the size of the meter determines cost and consumption charges. We are looking into that as we
get into our budget season.
Mr. Scott Taylor informed that our rate study consultant will prepare a presentation during
the budget to inform how rates are set and detail those charges. We do have the highest water
rates but we have the second fewest users. There are several issues that go into the water rate
survey. We need to be careful when we begin to compare water rates.
Councilor Ginnings said he received the information he requested on the water plan and
expressed appreciation. It was very informative. Secondly, he asked department heads to include
an explanation of any efficiencies utilized their operations in preparing their budget.
Councilor Ginnings mentioned the unfortunate shooting of the young girl, and stated that
Public Safety is our number one issue and asked the public to support the Police by supplying
them with information. He would like to stimulate the public to be more forthcoming. He is not
willing to leave our City to the criminals and gangs, and he asked that we come up with a new plan
that says, " We are going to take it all back". It will involve an effort to include our Justices of the
Peace, District Attorney's Office, and Police Department. He would like to put this issue as one of
the top priorities to discuss on a Council public forum.
Councilor Elmore hopes that we can create a link between the citizens and the Police
Department in regards to providing information on these types of activities. He asked if we had
anybody securing citizen information on criminal activities? Chief Bachman replied that Crime
Stoppers does that, but he does not have any one individual doing that, however he has pulled
one officer to be the "Intelligence Officer".
Councilor Elmore asked about the status of the vandalism at the Train Museum. Chief
Bachman informed that the investigation is ongoing.
Councilor Roberts-Burns informed that they are going to create new goals to get youth
activities and get them to help and work with the Police Department. We also need to get our
young mothers to work to take our streets back.
Mayor commended Chief Bachman for what he is doing without having the appropriate
number of staff. Mayor referred to the budget noting that everyone has needs. We have a lot of
things we need to do and all those things cost money. Nobody wants taxes to go up but we need
to make decisions on how best to spend the money we have. He encouraged citizens to talk to
their Council representatives and make suggestions. These are some issues among others we
need to look at each year. He encouraged everyone to work in the City and the community, as an
example citizens can continue to volunteer to serve on boards and commissions.
Mayor thanked and commended the Department Heads for their promptness in which they
have provided information requested by Council.
Mayor informed that next Monday BRAC would be meeting in San Antonio and asked
everyone to support Sheppard Air Force Base.
