04 -18 -2017 Minutes Page - 2 -
Mayor Carpenter read the resolution and explained the reason for having this `action' item on
tonight's Council on the Go Meeting. The reason is that the Alamo Area Metropolitan
Planning Organization is meeting next Monday and has on its' docket the inclusion of the
MTP, the Cibolo Parkway Project in its entirety. If they were to take action on that on
Monday, and include it in its entirety, then it would include the section of FM 1103 that is in
the corporate city limits of Schertz. (Copy of the resolution is attached to these minutes — See
Exhibit A)
He stated it is not Schertz's intent to tell Cibolo how to conduct their business within their
own corporate city limits in so long as it does not have a negative effect on the City of Schertz
and does not include anything within the corporate boundaries of the City of Schertz without
our assent. Mayor Carpenter stated the purpose of this resolution is to clearly establish our
position with regard to their project. The document is six pages; he subsequently read and
spoke about the content of each section of the resolution and what it meant.
He pointed out once again that what the resolution says is that we are asserting as the City of
Schertz that we do not wish for FM 1103, within our corporate boundaries, to be included in
the City of Cibolo's tollway project without our consent.
Mayor Carpenter stated we do not take this lightly and it is not our intent to damage the
relationship we have with the City of Cibolo, but it is necessary for us to protect our interests
as a city and $2 million of our taxpayer's money invested in upgrades in our area of FM 1103.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro -Tern Edwards who moved, seconded by
Councilmember Davis to approve Resolution No. 17 -R -27. The vote was unanimous with
Mayor Pro -Tem Edwards, Councilmemhers Davis, Gutierrez, Larson, Thompson, Kiser
and Crawford voting for and no one voting no. Motion passed.
Mayor Carpenter stated before this meeting he was on the phone with Mayor Dunn from
Cibolo and they are attempting to get copies of draft letters that they are potentially going to
send to the MPO and to TxDOT to say what we just said. He is hopeful we will receive those
documents but until we have them and see them signed and delivered to TxDOT and the
MPO, we have to have this document in place to assert our rights as a municipality. We will
remain in communication with the City of Cibolo to make sure that they clearly understand
our position and our lack of interest in having our area of FM 1103 included in their project
without our consent.
Roll Call Vote Confirmation
Mayor Carpenter recognized City Secretary Brenda Dennis who provided the roll call vote for
agenda item 1.
Presentations regarding the specific topics:
• Infrastructure (Streets & Waterlines), PCI, Roadway Stewardship Philosophy.
Public Works Assistant Director Jimmy Hooks, City Engineer Kathy Woodlee, and Street
Supervisor Robert Martinez provided information on updated plans for this area.
04 -18 -2017 Minutes Page - 3 -
Mr. Hooks spoke about an ongoing project to repair /replace waterlines in the Northcliffe area
and that they are now in the final phases of this project. The cost is totaling $800,000 and it
will probably be another 6 -9 months until it is completed. Staff members remained available
to answer questions from the audience. Once this project is done, they can concentrate more
on drainage, street repairs, traffic congestion.
City Engineer Kathy Woodlee spoke about street repairs and identifying those needing repair.
Our focus has had to shift on how we address these. There are 164 miles of road in the city.
We have done a Pavement Condition Analysis (PCA). Street Supervisor Robert Martinez
expanded on the PCI and what it entailed.
• Update regarding development in the area, including the Homestead project at Schwab Road
and IH 35, The Parklands at Eckhardt Road and Comal ISD Middle School #6.
Director of Planning and Community Development Lesa Wood provided information
regarding future development plans for the Homestead Subdivision, The Parklands at
Eckhardt Road and Comal ISD Middle School #6, including residential homes, a park,
commercial/multi family sites, school site, townhomes, streets, sidewalks, open space and
other multi- purpose areas. Ms. Wood remained available to address questions and comments
from the audience.
• Update regarding FM 1103 road improvements
City Engineer Kathy Woodlee spoke about the current TxDOT plans and the Bond Measure
Project and what it includes. She stated construction should start pretty soon this
spring /summer and this would of course produce additional delays in traffic flow and overall
congestion for the residents in the area as well as traffic passing through. Ms. Woodlee
responded to questions from the audience.
Mayor Carpenter provided more commentary and allowed the members of the audience to ask
questions - (See Exhibit B) regarding any of the individual topics previously presented by
staff and/or any other questions of concern.
Public Hearin
PH . Public Hearing FM 1103 Road Improvements and Cibolo Tollway Project (Mayor /Council)
Mayor Carpenter opened the public hearing and took the following questions from the
audience. Mayor Carpenter, Executive Management and staff responded to them.
a. Katie Cunningham, 541 Slippery Rock, Cibolo:
-Is there anything else Schertz can or will do to stop the FM 1103 toll road?
-If the toll road is approved, it will create additional traffic issues in residential areas
(hazmat trucks, speed limits, etc.). Does Schertz have anything planned on how to prevent
those other types of residential traffic issues or would it be a state road issue?
-When Cibolo approached Schertz about the bond agreement to improve FM 1103, what
was it they discussed that would be in the bond? the bike lanes, turn lanes, sidewalks?
04 -18 -2017 Minutes Page - 4 -
b. Ruby Hernandez, 208 Hereford Street, Cibolo:
-If TxDOT says they don't want to do a toll road does their decision supersede any other
decision pertaining to that road?
c. Michelle Womack, 2944 Mineral Springs, who thanked the Mayor for continuing to fight
against the Post Oak Clean Green Landfill.
As no one else spoke, Mayor Carpenter closed the public hearing.
Mayor Carpenter gave a brief update on the Post Oak Clean Green Landfill saying this has
been proposed to be built over our primary water source location in Guadalupe County.
He was in Austin last week and based on issues and deficiencies in the submission document
as well as testimony from him, other mayors, and other elected officials opposing it, the
application was sent back to the administrative law judges, which is now probably at least a
one to two year delay as we continue the fight.
Adiournment
As there were no further questions or comments, Mayor Carpenter thanked the residents for
attending /participating and all the City Staff members for making this a very successful meeting.
Mayor Carpenter adjourned the meeting at 9:07 p.m.

Council on the Go Meeting
Questions from residents
April 18, 2017.
1. D J Thompson, 3325 Charleston Lane - Is FM 1103 will be tolled in the future?
Is the City of Schertz entertaining the idea of purchasing the Northcliffe Golf Course? If
not, why? And what is the City doing to help keep it open?
When will entrance areas be done for the roads of Charleston, Columbia, Foxbriar,
Wimbledon?
Any exit, entry areas being planned in the Homestead area, and Schwab Road.?
2. Allen Johnningmeier, 6058 Covers Cove - Is there anything the community can do to
influence TxDOT to build a turnaround on the highway at that intersection?
3. John Long, 6073 Covers Cove — During repairs on FM 1103, could we talk with TxDOT
and see if they could put a temporary exit on the other side of FM 1103 between Schwab
Rd and FM 1103?
4. Debbie Bell, 6042 Covers Cove — They asked TxDOT for a turnaround by Schwab Road
on the access road many years ago. Their solution was to make it one way and not put a
stop sign there allowing traffic to flow through (acting like a turnaround). A couple of
years ago someone decided to put stop signs there ending our turnaround. Something
needs to be done about that area to prevent accidents.
04 -18 -2017 Minutes
Richard Eades, 5523 Cypress Point – Streets are being destroyed by large cement trucks
coming through; the HOA tried contacting the company and nothing has been done.
Builders /contractors are taking advantage of the City. This issue needs to be reviewed.
Bill Edmonds, President of the Northcliffe HOA, 4909 Crest Loop Drive, Had a question
about Homestead. How many roadways are going to tie in directly to the Fairways or
Scenic Hills? All that traffic will be going out their front onto the frontage road.
Linda Jerrell, Northcliffe, 4909 Crestwood Drive, Have been promised new roads for
many years. Only lights have been installed. Roads that are put down are substandard.
The sidewalks are also dangerous. Nothing has been done for thirty years.
Dr. Sharon Holland, 599 Wayward Pass, Asked about FM 1518 in southern. Schertz.
What are plans to install stop lights to improve safety and eventually widen the road?
Recommends placing a stop light at Ware - Seguin to slow down the traffic out there.
9. Mr. Dana Eldridge, 2628 Gallant Fox, Regarding the Cibolo proposed Toll Road, does
Cibolo now understand that we (Schertz) are concerned about this? His main question is
about congested traffic, going out of Belmont Park or Riata to go out on FM 1103 is quite
congested. On Facebook today he saw where a motorist apparently got a traffic ticket for
impeding traffic flow while trying to get in the left lane. Is this a new policy on issuing
tickets?
10. Mariana Anderson, 757 High Trail Rd, commented on the above question stating she
believed the driver was waiting to try to get into the left lane which caused traffic to back
up behind him. He was trying to leave space for the people coming off the highway.
11. Brent Bolter, 2633 Cloverbrook Lane, Could we appeal to TxDOT to close that exit
down that is right there period. Question 2 is, regardless of what happens with the toll road
project is there anything that says the City of Schertz has to wait for a resolution from
Cibolo before going ahead with our plans? Can our widening project for FM 1103 press
ahead regardless of what Cibolo does or does not do with their toll road?
12. Clifford Glass, 2649 Cloverbrook Lane, In regard to Old Wiederstein Road and Cibolo
Valley Road -what about adding a stop light? The area is very congested with traffic.
13. Brian Brown, 2980 Sun Ridge Drive ( Cibolo Resident), The traffic on FM 1103 to 13 5
backs up in the mornings and a lot of people take a short cut up Wiederstein Road to
Fairlawn during school activity (Sippel Elementary) and speed through that school zone
area. What can we do to prevent that —speed bumps? Question 2: On Fairlawn, during
the time changes and at night time, there is a section that is very dark —who installs lights,
the city or the HOA? Question 3: Do we have any street sweeping in our area?
04 -18 -2017 Minutes
14. Jeff Womack, 2944 Mineral Springs, in his opinion it is our staff here tonight who are the
real heroes. At the request of his neighbors, Don and Susan Schatzler, spoke about the
Warbler Woods (124 acre bird sanctuary) sitting on the edge of Cibolo and Schertz behind
Sippel Elementary School. They feel the toll road and other associated issues is an adverse
move for the birds and this area has been a major migration path for them which will then
become detrimental to them.
15. Fred Cantu, 6050 Mule Deer, With all the improvements you are going, do the school
bus drivers know what is going on; will they need to change their bus schedules?
16. Penny Jennings, 2501 Hourless Oaks, There is a playground in Belmont Park now. Is
there a way we can get a flashing speed limit signs?
