Mr. Funk had given him a list of items needed by SAFES. However, on doing
some additional investigation, Mr. Cross learned that SAFES also needed

SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

i.
The Schertz City Council convened in Special Session, Wednesday, September 28,
1983 at 7:00 P.M. in the Conference Room of the Municipal Complex, 1400 Live
Oak Road with the following members present: Mayor Earl W. Sawyer, presiding;
Charles B. Sharpe; Ross Hoover; Adolph Aguilar. Absent Hal Baldwin. Staff
present were City Manager Jimmy G. Gilmore and City Secretary June G. Krause.
#1 HEARING OF RESIDENTS: There were none wishing to be heard.
#2 BID AWARD: Mayor Sawyer explained that the Council was over-
riding their policy of not voting in Special Sessions
for this one meeting to meet deadlines on two items.
A. Consideration of awarding bid on City's insurance program. Mrs. Krause
explained that five bid specifications were sent out but only two companies
entered bids on the City's insurance: Muehl & Koebig Agency in Seguin and
Len Boyd & Associates from Universal City. After going over the bids with
three insurance agents, Mrs. Krause recommended awarding the bid to the
low bidder, Muehl & Koebig, and taking the All Risk - no deductible coverage.
for a total amount of $19,036 gross premium. Boyd's bid for the same
coverage would be $27,227. Mrs. Krause explained the difference in the
All Risk and the Named Peril, saying that the All Risk was a little more
broad in coverage and only $207 more per year. One restroom vandalism in the
park would more than pay for the difference.
Mr. Sharpe moved to accept the bid from Muehl & Koebig for the All Risk for
a total gross premium of $19,026. Mr. Aguilar seconded the motion.
After brief discussion by Council, Mayor Sawyer called for a vote on the
motion before Council as follows:
r-
t !
AYES: Counci1members Sharpe and Aguilar
NAYS: Councilmember Hoover
The Mayor said the motion would not carry with the above vote as two ayes
was not a majority of the four member Council.
