12.16.020 regarding the fee charged for Overhead Street Banners. Ms. Ramon explained that
currently the City ordinance is silent on the issue of Public Service Announcements banners that
serve to notify and inform the public to raise awareness. She sits on the Child Welfare Board
and they want to display a banner for Awareness of Child Abuse and since this is a nonprofit
organization they do not have extra money for this public service announcement. Please
consider amending this ordinance for a public service announcement on Overhead Street
Banners.

License and has had it for 15 years. He only wants to do transfer work and usually receives
firearms on one day and they go out the same day. He conducts about 10 or 12 transactions per
year. He will not post on-line nor will he advertise since his business is for a select group of
people. He does not have a high volume of transfers. He does not have firearm inventory or
ammunition for sale.
The City Council of the City of Uvalde closed the Public Hearing at 6:17 p.m.

Agenda Item No. 8 – Presentation
8A.
Presentation by Bill Ed Kolinek, El Progresso Memorial Library Board President regarding the
library’s progress in its search for a new Director.
Bill Ed Kolinek spoke and thanked the Library Board members that were in attendance at the
meeting. He is representing the El Progresso Library Board since he was elected in May. Susan
Anderson was the highest paid staff member at the Library making $33,000 a year after being
with the Library for 25 years. The Library Board is in the process of looking for a new
Librarian but they are up against some challenges. The Librarian must have a Certification by
the state and there are only three universities that have the Master’s program in Texas;
University of Texas, North Texas State or Texas Women’s University. The librarian in Uvalde
must have a Master’s Degree to serve as the Librarian as City/County Librarian. The Board is
looking for the City to help them with the remaining salary balance of what they would like to
offer any prospective candidate for Librarian for El Progresso Library.
8B.
Presentation by Mark McLiney, Southwest Securities, regarding the tax effects of the proposed
borrowing to fund the street improvement project.
Mark McLiney addressed Council concerning the $24 million Street Improvement Project and
how it would affect the City’s tax and proposed borrowing to fund the street improvement
project. It would be cost prohibited to borrow for the entire street project based on revenues
from collections, existing debt and projected tax rate for that debt. It may be feasible to break
down the debt into two bonds. Currently, it would approximately be about a 1 ½ cent tax
increase for every million borrowed or about a 15 cent tax increase for every 10 million
borrowed. Overall, about a $200 tax increase to every homeowner with a home assessed at
$100,000. It would be an additional $200 a few years later with the second bond. There is a
slight decrease for the City in debt service; next debt increase will be in 2018. The project
would make this City one of the highest taxed in the surrounding area.
8C.
Presentation by Joe Cardenas, Assistant City Manager, on the City of Uvalde 2013 water
consumption and the status of the application for secondary source water.
Assistant City Manager, Joe Cardenas addressed Council in regards to the City’s water
consumption and made reference to the water chart for the last four years; 2010-2014.
2013 ended the year at 3,445.615 acre/feet of water which was down from 2012. The City began
2014 in Stage 5 Water Restrictions. The City has available to it 2,906 acre feet of water
available for 2014 which will get us through hopefully until September 2014. In the meantime,
the City did submit its application to the local water district for 800-1200 more acre feet of
water to take us to the end of 2014. The Texas Department of Agriculture website states that
Uvalde has less than 45 days of water which is not the case.

Agenda Item No. 10 – New Business
10A. Consider and act to award a contract for Fire Alarm Installation at the Janey Slaughter Briscoe
Grand Opera House by Sentry Security Service for the Main Office and Stage.
10B.
Consider and act to award a contract for Fire Alarm Installation at the Janey Slaughter Briscoe
Grand Opera House by Sentry Security Service for the Antiques Portion/Annex.
Agenda Items 10A & 10B were combined and the vote was combined.
Jason and his brother from Sentry Security Service spoke in regards to Agenda items
10A & 10B. Jason explained that the monthly monitoring fee was $40.00 flat. Jason also
spoke in regards to the fire alarm installation of the main office and stage at the Opera house.
Per the Fire Marshal’s request, smoke and air devices were added in the back where the
dressing rooms are located to ensure the code guidelines for the building were met. The
current elevator recall does not meet code. The occupancy at the Opera House is 300+
and that amount requires additional warning devices to be added for protection. City Manager,
Jennifer E. Garver said that there was no other option but to bring everything up to
code even if it will be over the allotted budgeted amount. Councilman Chip
King made a motion to award a contract for Fire Alarm Installation to Sentry Security Service
for the Main Office, Stage and Antiques Portion/Annex. Councilman John H. Flores, Jr.
seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.
10C.
Consider and act on an Ordinance of the City of Uvalde revising regulations pertaining to the
Civic Center under Title 12, Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places, by repealing and replacing
Chapter 12.28 – Civic Center in its entirety.
Jennifer E. Garver, City Manager explained that the old ordinance applied to the old
building and that this ordinance was in line with the new Civic Center building, current rate
schedule, equipment, along with any references to alcohol consumption defaults to the TABC
rules and regulations. Motion to approve the Ordinance was made by Councilman Chip King.
Motion was seconded by Councilman Stephen E. Balke. Motion carried 4-0.
10D.
Consider and act on an Ordinance to Chapter 10 Vehicles and Traffic Municipal Code to add a
No Parking Zone for a portion of West Geraldine Street; a No Loading and Unloading for a
portion of West Geraldine Street, One way Street Designation for a portion of Old Carrizo Road
and a No Parking Zone for a portion of Old Carrizo Road. (Robb Elementary School).
Jennifer E. Garver, City Manager explained that parents are dropping of their child so they
don’t have to walk in front of traffic to get inside the school building.
Marianio Pargas, Lieutenant Uvalde Police Department explained that the curb at Robb School
is bad and this Ordinance is the first step to try it out to see if it will work.
Joe Jarosek, Director of Public Works said that it was the best solution because of the way the
school is laid out. It will eliminate parking to drop off to have children walk in front of traffic.
Motion was made by Councilman Stephen E. Balke to approve the Ordinance. Councilman
Jesse Rodriguez seconded the motion. Motion carried. 4-0.
007
10E.
Consider and act on and Ordinance to Chapter 10 Vehicles and Traffic Municipal Code by
amending Chapter 10.44Thru Traffic and regulated Vehicles to include Vickers Lane.
Councilman Jesse Rodriguez explained that passing this Ordinance will only work if we enforce
it. It might be a good idea to have patrol officers out there from time to time writing tickets to
get the word out to all the community. Councilman Stephen E. Balke stressed again that
ordinance is only good if it is enforced. Motion made by Councilman John H. Flores, Jr. to
approve the Ordinance to Amend Chapter 10 Vehicles and Traffic Municipal Code to include
Vickers Lane. Motion was seconded by Stephen E. Balke. Motion carried 4-0
10F.
Consider and act on a request for individual water meter accounts and meter reading within the
gated subdivision between Natural Path Properties, LLC, The Park Homeowners Association
and the City of Uvalde.
Joe Cardenas, Assistant City Manager addressed Council. Parks Subdivision off Grove Street
is a gated community. They have had a change in heart regarding the master meter and would
like for the City to read the meters. Everyone that lives in this gated community will have to
come in and apply and put a deposit down in order for their meters to be read. An agreement
that the city is reading meters only and that the Parks will be responsible for all maintenance
and leaks of that nature as the City is only reading meters. Councilman Chip King made a
motion to approve request of Natural Path Properties, LLC and The Park Homeowners
Association. Councilman Stephen E. Balke seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.
10G.
Consider and act on the 2014 revision of the City of Uvalde organizational chart.
Jennifer E. Garver, City Manager spoke in regards to the positions that were added to the
Organizational chart but all are budget positions. Councilman Chip King made a motion to
approve the 2014 revision of the City of Uvalde Organizational chart. Councilman John H.
Flores, Jr. seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.

Agenda Item No. 11- Discussion
11A. Discussion regarding status of elevator project and contract for upgrades to the Elevator System
at the Janey Slaughter Briscoe Grand Opera House by ThyssenKrupp.
Assistant City Manager, Joe Cardenas explained that once we get the contract in the project
will start moving forward. It may be completed by end of March and depends if all
parts come in if not then sometime in April. Councilman Stephen E. Balke wants to leave Opera
House open while under construction. Mr. Cardenas said that he would look into that but not
sure if people will be in the way of the work in progress. Jennifer E. Garver, City Manager said
that the upstairs will not be accessible. Councilman Stephen E. Balke wanted to know if the
first floor could remain open but he will visit with the contractor.
11B.
Discussion regarding hotel/motel tax fund balance uses authorized by law.
Jennifer E. Garver, City Manager addressed Council and explained that out of the 7 cents of the
hotel/motel tax on every dollar the city gets 1 cent and Convention and Visitors Bureau gets 6
cents. The City receives the 1 cent towards the Arts since it maintains the Opera House.
Currently, there is $74,000 in hotel/motel tax fund balance. The City Manager wanted to use the
funds on the sports complex but the money cannot be used for those purposes. The use of the
money is only used for Tourism to include the Arts, a Civic Center or Historic Preservation. The
monies could be used for the Opera House since it would fall under the Historic Preservation
or Arts for use of the hotel/motel tax funds. Way findings signage or the audio system at the
Civic Center could also benefit from these funds. Council would like for the City Manager to
bring this back with a Budget Amendment to authorize spending of those funds.
