SUMMARY:
An Ordinance authorizing a Joint Use Agreement between the City of San Antonio and the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) to allow SAWS within the Northwoods Subdivision in Council District 9 to construct an odor control station on two areas within a City owned public drainage easement and accepting a $500.00 processing fee payment from SAWS.
