SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 13, 1995
The Schertz City Council convened in Special Workshop
Session on Wednesday, September 13, 1995 at 7:00 p.m. in
the Council Chambers of the Municipal Complex, 1400 Schertz
Parkway, Schertz, Texas. (The first part of the meeting
was held in the Council Chambers due to the size of the
crowd.) The following members were present: Mayor Hal
Baldwin, presiding; Councilmembers Charles McDonald; Joe
Potempa; Earl Sawyer; Timothy Swinney and Ken Greenwald.
Staff present were City Manager Kerry Sweatt and City
Secretary Norma Althouse.
Mayor Baldwin announced that anyone wishing to address the
Council concerning any item on the agenda, including the
Specific Use Permit request from the school district, needs
to sign the roster and speak at the beginning of this
meeting. Once the Hearing of Residents item is completed,
everything from that point on will be discussion strictly
between City Councilmembers.
#1 HEARING OF RESIDENTS: A. Earl Hartzog of 3700
Whitefield commented he objects to the amount of traffic
the school will create. The plan for Savannah Drive to go
all the way out to Schertz Parkway in the future is great,
that will alleviate some of the problems. However, until
Savannah Drive is developed all the way out, there will be
a lot of students cutting through Ashley Place to get to
the school. There will also be a number of parents
dropping off students on rainy days which increases the
amount of traffic, and there will be the addition of bus
traffic into the area.
Mr. Hartzog stated he feels the school will adversely
affect the subdivision and he is opposed to it. He
recommended looking at the Subdivision Ordinance because he
can envision the possibility of someone asking to put a
church on the other side.
Mr. Hartzog then mentioned he had driven by Dobie Middle
School earlier and noticed quite a few overhead electrical
lines. If the school is built in Savannah Square, he can
see numerous overhead electrical lines coming up Schertz
Parkway to the school area. He believes that in an R-2
area, all utilities are supposed to be underground.
The last thing mentioned by Mr. Hartzog was that the water
system in Savannah Square was designed for residential
development. Schools draw an additional amount of water
and the water pressure is not the best in Savannah Square.
B. Michelle Tereletskv of 705 Marilvn Drive asked
permission to bring flyers to City Hall and also to put a
small article in the Newsletter to discuss 'an auction on
October 29th at the Schertz VFW to benefit the Lupus
Foundation. She would like to get some educational
f/oo
material out to the citizens regarding Lupus.
c. Chuck Sharpe of 1300 Antler Drive reported he was sorry
he had missed the public hearing on the request from the
school district. He's here tonight to concur with the
location of the new school. It should be a neighborhood
school. It's an ideal location on a main connector road
between FM 3009 and Schertz Parkway.
Regarding property values of homes located

he was highly
voted in favor
As far as living near a school, he lived right across from
one when his children were of school age and enjoyed living
there. He had no problem with vandalism and as far as
children playing on the grass, there's an old song that
says something to the effect that God and rain will bring
the grass back, it's a temporary inconvenience.
D. James Harris of FM 1518 and Schaefer Road spoke on
conflict of interest on the part of the Mayor because he is
an employee of the school district. He had to be greatly
involved in the selection of this site for the school and
the whole process of bringing it to the Council. Being
silent would be fine, even though as a citizen the Mayor
has a right to speak. However, he kind of gave up that
privilege when he became Mayor. Then, as an employee of
the school who's included in the decision making process,
he is also able to put forth his views as the Mayor. This
is definitely a conflict of interest.
On the other hand, however, Mr. Harris applauded the Mayor
for doing a good job in saving the citizens tax money by
getting the best deal possible on the land. Mr. Harris
said he also has a conflict because he wants the best deal
for the taxpayers. He does feel, however, that the Mayor
should not have a forum to support this school because of
being in the decision making process of determining where
it should be, how it should be, and the money involved.
Mayor Baldwin reminded Mr. Harris that if all the
Councilmernbers are present for the vote, he has no vote.
Mr. Harris pointed out is mathematically possible that the
Mayor could be the deciding vote. Mayor Baldwin commented
if it comes to that, he will abstain.
Mr. Swinney asked Mr. Harris if he doesn't agree the
matter of conflict of interest is more in the realm of
personal gain and Mr. Harris replied it has nothing to do
with personal gain.

E. Robert Kina of 2700 Kline Circle spoke in favor of the
Four-Way Stop intersections at Woodland Oaks Drive and
Kline and at Dimrock and Kline. He remarked the residents
of Woodland Oaks are not against progress and/or
development, they are just concerned with safety. He is
here tonight to reaffirm their support of the Four-Way
Stops.
F. Rachel Wall of 721 Davenport related her back yard
will face the school site. She is supportive of the school
coming into the community - she thinks it will be a
positive influence. Regarding extra traffic, it's usually
only ten to fifteen minutes in the morning and in the
afternoon. She doesn't anticipate any problem with
vandalism because of it being a community school. She has
called a couple of realtors about the property value and
they don't feel there's a significant property devaluation
with a school nearby. Mrs. Wall expressed the desire for
the school board to give the citizens more information than
was presented at the last meeting.
G. Joan Kinq of 3824 Davenport related the new school will
be in her front yard. Mrs. King said she was a member of
the Facilities Advisory Committee when the bond issue was
proposed, and one of the main issues was they wanted to
keep neighborhood schools. The bond issued passed
overwhelmingly and now it's time to complete that job and
get on with it. She wants to see her children go to a
neighborhood school. She has contacted three local
realtors who have all assured her property values will not
go down. She's supportive of the school - she thinks it
will be a positive force in the neighborhood. Traffic is
not a problem and she doesn't see a problem with vandalism.
Mrs. King expressed the hope the Council approves this
request and the school is built.
Carolyn Conklin of 725 Davenport spoke in support of the
school. She remarked she was unable to attend the public
hearing, but was shocked that people spoke against it. She
has taken her own poll and hasn't had anyone admit they're
opposed to the school.
Chris Cabanski of 3701 Wm. Scarbrouqh felt the school will
be a great buffer since Savannah Drive is going to go
through to Schertz Parkway anyway. If there is a buffer
zone, in the form of the school, it will be controlled by
the police and people will have to slow down. Ms.
Cabanski also commented that an unkempt yard decreases
property value more than a school. She is supportive of
the school.
There being no further comments, Mayor Baldwin announced
that any further discussion will be between the school
district representatives and the City Council.

#2 Discuss action on a request from Schertz-Cibolo-
Universal City ISD for a Specific Use Permit allowing them
to construct an Intermediate School in Savannah Square.
Mr. Sweatt related this matter was reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission and they have recommended
approval. A well-planned traffic pattern will eliminate
problems in the future when Savannah Drive is extended to
Schertz Parkway. Savannah Drive is a 60' right-Of-way
similar to Woodland Oaks Drive. It is projected to connect
from Schertz Parkway to FM 3009. Both Savannah Drive and
Woodland Oaks Drive are anticipated as collector streets.
Neither have frontage of any residential property. There
is, in fact, a one-foot non-access easement prescribed as
part of the subdivision regulations in both. of those
subdivisions. The site for the proposed school is a 12.185
acre tract of land.
Mayor Baldwin announced
Rehman, Janice Gangawer
district are all here this
to make a presentation.
that Dr. Byron Steele, Herb
and Ray Price from the school
evening and Dr. Steele is going
Dr. Steele reviewed some of the demographics. A committee
of over one hundred citizens met with the school district
about where schools might be located. They looked at
growth in the community and believe that almost one third
of the student body will be located in the area where the
school is proposed to be built. There are approximately
875 homes there now and it is projected by the year 2000
there will be 2100 homes. Enrollment will increase from
1400 students to 1900 students. Dr. Steele pointed out
Ashley Place, Units 1, 2 and 3, Savannah Square, and the
back of Woodland Oaks on the map.
Dr. Steele further stated the reasons for building the
school in this location are because it is centrally
located, utilities are available, there are underground
wires, and the Biegert land is the least expensive in the
area (he is selling it for $9,000 per acre whereas most all
other land in the area would cost $25,000 per acre). Also,
neighborhood schools are a popular idea - they certainly
cut down on bussing and related expenses, the school will
be located away from a hazardous transportation area, and
the school district and the committee liked the concept of
a neighborhood school as far as safety and convenience.
The school district commissioned an environmental study and
the report showed the property to be clear. The school
district is asking for a favorable consideration of the
Specific Use Permit request by the City Council.
Mr. Sawyer asked how much tax the' City will lose if the
land goes to the school. Mrs. Gangawer replied not much
because the land currently has an agricultur~l exemption.
10~
Mr. Potempa wondered if the land were to be developed into
houses, how much money would that generate for the City
versus the land going to the school. Mrs. Gangawer
replied there would probably be about 48 to 50 houses, but
regardless of how many houses you have, you have to have
schools somewhere.
Dr. Steele asked what the average City taxes would be per
house. Mr. Sweatt replied approximately $300. Dr.
Steele then noted you would have to multiply 50 times $300.
Mr. Potempa then mentioned Dr. Steele had said the
committee picked the site for the school and Dr. Steele
apologized if he conveyed that information, because the
School Board chose the site. The committee asked that
schools be built in neighborhoods where there are children.
Mr. Potempa then asked what other locations were
considered for the school. Dr. Steele replied there were
several others on Schertz Parkway itself, but some of those
areas have low spots and the moving of utilities makes it
five times as expensive. Along with neighborhood schools,
the committee's other objective was smaller schools.

Potempa admitted that what Dr. Steele is saying is
Savannah Square is the cheapest and best location.
Steele acknowledged it is the best deal they could
Dr. Steele showed a diagram of the school and said they
are looking at a buffer between the school and the houses.
They will look at what the City requires and then probably
add to it.
Mr. Swinney complimented the school district for a great
job. Dr. Steele thanked Mr. Swinney and reminded him the
school works for the community. The committee of citizens
had set some goals and the school district is trying to
achieve them.

Mr. Potempa asked if this item will be on next week's
agenda for a vote and was told by Mayor Baldwin the final
vote will be next week. Mr. Sweatt reminded everyone this
is a request for a Specific Use Permit and only one action
is required. The other Councilmembers indicated they were
ready for this item to be on next Tuesday night's agenda
for action.
Council took a short break at this time and moved to the
conference room for the remainder of the meeting.

#3 Discuss GVEC report regarding rate deregulation
election by GVEC membership.
Mr. Sweatt informed Council there is a letter in their
packets from GVEC asking to be placed on next week's agenda
to discuss publicly a report regarding rate deregulation.
They would like to use the Council meeting as a forum. No
action is required.
Mr. Swinney voiced the op~n~on this is the best thing that
could ever happen. The election can't take place soon
enough. Mr. Greenwald wondered who has the oversight and
Mr. Swinney replied the elected GVEC Board of Directors.
He'll take his chances with local directors anytime over a
State appointed agency. Mr. Greenwald felt local
directors don't have enough expertise or time to study a
rate increase.
Council agreed they were ready for this item to be included
on next Tuesday night's agenda.
#4 Discuss final reading of an ordinance revising the
Code of Ordinances regarding Stop Intersections and
Four-Way Stops.
Mr. Sweatt noted this is a final reading of the ordinance
for four-way stops at Woodland Oaks Drive and Kline Circle
and at Dimrock and Kline Circle. It came about as the
result of a request from the Woodland Oaks Homeowners
Association. The Public Works Department and the Police
Department have reviewed it and concur with the
recommendation.
Council indicated they were ready for this item to be
included on next Tuesday night's agenda.
#5 Discuss final reading of a revision to Chapter 5
of the City Code relating to building, plumbing,
electrical, mechanical, unsafe buildings, one and two
family dwellings and amusement device codes.
Mr. Sweatt advised this is the proposed second and final
reading of an ordinance that will revise Chapter 5 of the
current City Code of Ordinances. It will update all those
codes mentioned on the agenda by adopting the most recent
version of the southern national codes that relate to each
of those areas.
After a brief discussion, Council was ready for this item
to be included on next Tuesday night's agenda.
#6 Discuss final reading of an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance regarding the Board of Adjustment.
Mr. Sweatt reminded Council that a revision to the Zoning
Ordinance establishing a Board of Adjustment was adopted
some time ago. Because of difficulty in getting a quorum
~s-
together, the City finds it necessary to provide for two
alternates. They will leave the membership of the BOA at
five members, but will simply appoint two alternates to be
on call in case they are needed. The BOA will be
encouraged to have the alternates draw for staggered terms
and try to make sure the same alternate not be asked to
serve every time.
Mr. Potempa had volunteered at a previous meeting to serve
on the BOA. Mr. Sawyer recommended that James Harris fill
the second slot. Council thought that was a good idea.
After being asked by Mayor Baldwin, Council affirmed their
readiness for this item to be placed on next Tuesday
night's agenda.
#7 Discuss public hearing on the budget and the
ordinance approving the budget.
Mr. Sweatt reviewed the fact that a series of workshops
have been held on the recommended budget. Under the terms
of the City Charter, it would be appropriate for City
Council to consider, at the September 19, 1995 meeting, an
ordinance adopting the budget and adopting the tax rate.
Because of the timing, it has traditionally been handled on
an emergency basis.
The ordinance adopting the budget calls for a total
operating budget of $6,117,866. Included in Council's
packets are a number of graphs and charts to be used at the
public hearing.
Council was prepared for these items to be included on next
Tuesday night's agenda.
Mr. Potempa asked if there are some new pay charts and new
organizational charts available. Mr. Sweatt replied he
had not done them yet, but can get copies if Mr. Potempa
needs them. They are usually included in the bound copy of
the budget once it is adopted.
#8 Discuss ordinance adopting the tax rate.

There being no questions, Council was ready for this item

#9 Discuss ordinance regarding regulation of hand
guns at specific City-owned properties.
Mr. Sweatt reminded Council there is a proposed ordinance
included in their packets which has been reviewed by the
City Attorney. The Legislature recently approved the
f/tJ.h
licensing and carrying of concealed hand guns under
certain circumstances. That legislation further empowers
cities and others to enact rules and regulations regarding
the carrying of concealed hand guns and to provide for
enforcement of such rules and regulations. It is
recommended City Council consider passing an ordinance that
would regulate and prevent, or limit persons from carrying
concealed hand guns on City property, including City-owned
property, operated and maintained buildings and easements,
and parking areas and other properties of the City, but
specifically not applying to public parks or public
streets. This would exempt members of our own police
service as well as other local, State or Federal law
enforcement officers.
Mr. Potempa, asking if he understands this correctly,
wanted to know if this ordinance allows people to carry
hand guns in the City park. Mr. Sweatt replied that's
correct. This ordinance does not deal with public parks.
The Attorney General has issued an opinion which states
that under his reading of the legislation, the City is
prohibited from regulating the carrying of hand guns in
city parks. However in the same breath, the Attorney
General appeared to endorse that counties could regulate
and prohibit the carrying of hand guns in county parks.
Mr. Sweatt commented the City Attorney and he agree that
makes no sense, but that's what the Attorney General said.
Mr. Potempa asked if the new law doesn't prohibit people
from carrying weapons where alcohol is served. Mr. Sweatt
admitted that's a good point because the park carries a
picnic license and they mayor may not be able to apply
that rule under the TABC (Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission) as opposed to a City ordinance.

wondered if the Attorney General has been asked

Of course, it is only an opinion until it's
Mayor Baldwin wanted to know what would keep the City from
including the City park in their ordinance and letting
someone challenge them. Mr. Sweatt answered we would run
the risk of immediately amending an ordinance we were
advised was legal. Mayor Baldwin then added he can't
imagine allowing guns in the park during the 4th of July
Jubilee or the Firemen's Supper.
Mr. Sawyer thought not having guns in the park is a matter
of public safety, Mr. Potempa was very concerned about it,
and Mr. Swinney said he was having a hard time swallowing
this ordinance.
Mayor Baldwin recalled there was a time when every attorney
felt any city which adopted a curfew ordinance would be
challenged in court. Now almost every city in the State of
Texas has a curfew.
7417
Mr. Sawyer noted it sounds like there are at least three
of the Councilmembers who feel a ban on carrying guns in
the City park should be included in the ordinance.
After a brief discussion, the consensus of Council was that
for purposes of safety and welfare, a ban on carrying guns
in the park should be included in the ordinance.
#10 Discuss health and life insurance proposals.
Mr. Sweatt advised the City provides hospitalization and
life insurance to employees and also an opportunity through
group purchase for those employees to purchase coverage for
a spouse and/or dependents. Based on current circumstances
with our carrier, we solicited proposals for the fiscal
year beginning in October. As a result of a number of
factors, we had only two standing proposals - one from
Humana and one from PCA. Mr. Bob Feike, our broker and
representative, is here tonight to help answer questions.
In reviewing both proposals, it was the City's finding that
with a modification in the co-pay arrangement we could
accomplish continued coverage with Humana at a minimal
increase (approximately 1.67%). For those who choose a PPO
versus an HMO, the employee pays the difference in the cost
and the increase is of a similar percentage. Mr. Sweatt
mentioned Humana has served the City well and he feels the
employees have been satisfied. The City feels holding the
cost down by increasing the co-pay makes sense.
Re-enrollment will be necessary, but certainly less
disruptive than changing providers. It is recommended
Humana be awarded renewal of the coverage for medical and
life insurance.
Mr. Potempa asked if the new increase is in the budget and
Mr. Sweatt replied it is.
Mr. Feike reported they had losses this year, but maybe
next year will be better.
Mr. Swinney, noting he had been involved in the insurance
business for 15 years, said considering the situation with
some of the City's employees, they're very fortunate to
have this medical coverage in place. Humana has done a
great job in keeping the cost as low as it is.
Mr. Swinney expressed concern, however, about the life
insurance. Is $10,000 that effective? Anyone who has that
as their sole coverage is grossly underinsured. If they
have a lot more coverage, that means they can get it
elsewhere. If you're a non-smoker up to about age 45 to
50, you can get the rate per thousand a lot cheaper on your
own.
Mr. Feike acknowledged that's true on an individual basis,
but unfortunately the City has some people who can't get it
at any rate on the outside. So they give the City a
~or
composite rate, taking in all the risk factors combined.
The age factor of the City is a little higher than the norm
and there are pre-existing conditions.
Mr. Feike went on to say even though it's only $10,000,
due to the fact the TMRS (Texas Municipal Retirement
System) pays one time your annual salary in an additional
death benefit, it helps. In a group situation, they take
in all the negative factors to come up with a positive
rate.
Mr. Swinney then wondered if it's

Mr. Swinney mentioned one idea is going to a higher
bracket and asked if the City gets any breaks for that.
Mr. Feike answered they can go $15,000, $20,000 and
$25,000 to reduce the cost per thousand rate, but right now
because of the situation, that option is not available.
It's something to consider next year. Mr. Feike also
pointed out that in 99.9% of group medical bids, they don't
sell the group medical without the life insurance. It's
not an option, it's a requirement. You would be limiting
yourself to about two companies.
Mr. Swinney asked if that's the case with Humana. Mr.
Feike replied not at this time, but Humana has purchased a
major life insurance company.
Mr. Swinney stressed he thinks the City needs to look at
this closer when it becomes available again. There was a
brief discussion about possible future options.
Mr. Swinney, saying we're being judged now as one entity,
asked if there's any chance of belonging to a pool of
cities. Mr. Sweatt replied the City had looked into that
possibility through TML (Texas Municipal League), but the
rates were considerably higher.
There was further discussion on other type pools and on
supplemental life insurance. Mr. Swinney commended Mr.
Feike on a job well done.
Council indicated they were ready for this item to be
placed on next Tuesday night's agenda.
111 Discuss and review Vision, Mission and
statements.
Value
Mr. Sweatt reminded Council that some time ago these
statements were brought before them in an effort to
articulate organizational vision, mission and value
statements for the City. The statements were reviewed by
other Boards and Commissions of the City and their input
was duly noted. This is the result. If Council concurs,
~1
it is asked they consider adopting the statements.
Mr. Swinney, indicating he likes the statements, asked
where we would place them. On letterhead? Mr. Sweatt
answered not on letterhead, but here in the building where
everyone can see them.
Mr. McDonald urged the City to go forward with the
statements and Council agreed this item should be placed on
next Tuesday night's agenda.
#12 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: Reminded everyone of the
upcoming Business Appreciation dinner on September 21st at
the VFW. Social hour begins at 6:00 p.m. and dinner will
be served at 7:15 p.m. It is sponsored by the City of
Schertz Economic Development Department. Part of the
program will be a speech by the Assistant Director of the
Texas Department of Commerce.
Mr. Sawyer noticed that in the package was a memo from the
City Manager about the Guadalupe County Appraisal District
and the fact we have 195 votes. How many votes does it
take to put someone on the Board? Mr. Sweatt replied it
has been their experience in the past that as little as
1200 votes is needed. Mayor Baldwin added that normally
1,000 votes guarantees a place on the Board. The Mayor
then said they usually ask for nominees, so we need to
decide if we want to back a particular person. Mr. Sweatt
commented he thinks they're asking us to nominate someone
by resolution.
Mr. Sawyer thought it would be nice if we had a volunteer.
We need to find out if anyone is interested and combine our
votes with the school and other entities. Mayor Baldwin
stressed that if we back someone, we need to have a
recommendation by Tuesday's meeting.
Mr. Sweatt remarked we need to have our recommendation to
the Appraisal District by October 16th, so his suggestion
is to place this item on the next workshop agenda. Council
agreed.
There was a brief discussion about who they should support.
#13 ITEMS BY COUNCIL: Mr. Swinney: A. Reported he
attended a meeting of the Lone Oak Homeowners Association
and they have a big concern about graffiti. He told them
the most dangerous city in the world is one that passes an
ordinance for every incident that happens and we don't want
to be that kind of city. They voted against any kind of
ordinance on graffiti, but did corne up with some ideas on
how to get it cleaned up.
Mr.

B. Commented, that at that same meeting, he floated a trial
balloon regarding a future sales tax/public bond election.
The general consensus was that as long as it's valid and
the citizens have input, it will work. There was a lot of
misconception the last time and we can learn from that.
Mr. Potempa: A. Related they finally had a TIF (Tax
Increment Financing) meeting Monday night and the committee
adopted a resolution supporting City Council in regard to
GVEC's location of a main transmission line. They don't
want poles along Schertz Parkway and will hold GVEC to
their commitment to come back and remove the poles once the
area is developed.
B. Asked how many people were notified about the grand
opening of Bill Miller's B-B-Q, because he wasn't. Mr.
Sweatt told Mr. Potempa he had left him a message on his
answering machine about it, but never received a reply.
Mr. Potempa said he did not receive the message. Mr.
Potempa mentioned he's bringing it up because we have the
grand opening of Denny's coming up and they give out
baseball cards when you purchase a gr~nd slam, so be sure
to notify him of when it is.
Mr. SawYer: A. Noticed along the road going into

B. Related there's what looks like some abandoned trailers
down where the drive-in theater used to be and lots of
graffiti on the back of the VFW. It appears to be the
symbol of a gang called the Latin Kings, so maybe the
Police Department should be aware they may be moving into
our area. Mr. Sawyer asked that the inspectors check out
the abandoned trailers.
C. Noted that at the corner of Curtiss and Randolph where
the ADA work is being done, the contractors damaged a
retaining wall and they should repair it. Mr. Sweatt
promised to check into it.
Along that line, Mayor Baldwin asked if they are going to
cut curbs on Main Street and Mr. Sweatt replied yes they
are.
Mr. Greenwald: A. Mentioned that at the last two
meetings they have heard comments about the low water
pressure in Savannah Square. Mr. Sweatt remarked they
have checked it out and have never had lower than 35 psi
and 35 to 40 is normal. Mr. Sawyer asked ff it's looped
into Schertz Parkway and Mr. Sweatt replied no, it is a
single feed, but he will have it checked out.
"'7//
B. Revealed that since FM 3009 is opened up, he is
receiving calls asking about when traffic lights will be
installed.
C. Declared that if all goes well, the Council should be
receiving a draft of the UDC (United Development Code) by
next week.
