Chairman Richard Coon called the meeting to order at 6:07 p.m.
2. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
Mr. Raymon Cook from. the Schertz/Seguin Local Government Cooperation asked the board to
include the land used for the cities' water sources, as well as drainage and power line acreage in
the City of Schertz, in the City of Schertz Parks and Open Space Master Plan. He provided some
suggestions for possible uses of these areas and cited the City of Sugar Land, Texas as an.
example of an area being used in this manner.
The board suggested inviting Mr. Cook back for a presentation at the November board meeting.
Wendy Swan agreed to contact Sugar Land Parks and Recreation Department and get additional
information on their parks.

Aundra Davis. The vote to approve the minutes as amended was unanimous.
4. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON PARKS AND OPEN SPACE MASTER
PLAN
Mr. Luck noted he has separated the HOA parks and placed them at the end of the plan as an
appendix. He is waiting for the engineers' report to get the correct acreage for existing parks.
Members asked that the plan include both developed and undeveloped parks. Board voted to
establish 11 acres of usable parkland per 1,000 residents as the standard for the City of Schertz.
5. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES
Board recommends the city request land instead of money for parks. Mr. Luck stated land
makes you eligible to apply for grant money. Board recommended a city requirement of 1 acre
of land per 50 dwellings from developer and $500 per dwelling from builder be presented to
planning department for their consideration. Recommendation was made to invite a Planning
and Zoning Commission representative to the next Parks and Recreation Board meeting or
possibly having a liaison from this board to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
