SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 24, 1979
The Schertz City Council convened in Special Session, Monday, September 24,
1979 at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers, 1400 Live Oak Road with the follow-
ing members present: Mayor Robert C. Bueker, presiding; Richard L. Howe;
Gail Hyatt, Walter F. Schneider; Earl W. Sawyer and Jack M. Stomackin, Sr.
Staff present: City Manager Jimmy G. Gilmore and City Secretary June G.
Krause. Mrs. Hyatt arrived at the meeting at 7:23 P.M.
#1 INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT: Mayor Bueker explained that at this special
session there was only this one item for
discussion; that several previous meeting had been held on this subject as
there has been high interest in industrial development in Schertz. He ex-
plained that a representative of a San Antonio company was present to
address the Council on whatever he desired but at this time the company name
will not be divulged.
The gentleman said he represented a San Antonio firm which wishes to purchase
7.5 acres of land off FM 3009. They are a privately owned Texas chartered
corporation, and have been in existence approximately 17 years. The 1978
assets amounted to $2,260,042 with a payroll of $1,189.471 with approximately
100 employees. They intend construction to start approximately one year from
date of land acquisition, providing conditions are suitable at that time.
They estimate increased capacity to be able to employ approximately 150
employees and attain an annual sales volume of $15,000,000. Their product
can be classified as light industrial and is pollution free. In arriving
at their decision to purchase this sight, one of the major considerations
73
was the seven year moratorium offered by the City of Schertz.
The firm representative said that he could not give his name in open meeting
but would be glad to in private session.
After ascertaining from Attorney Harris that in his opinion and executive
session could be called for this purpose, Mayor Bueker called at executive
session under Article 6252-17, Section 2 (f) Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes
as amended at 7:13 P.M.
The Special Session of the City Council was reconvened by Mayor Bueker at
7:58 P.M.
Mayor Bueker said that to reenforce statements already made, he had checked
with several surrounding cities and found that although they may not give
a moratorium, they all give some type of concession to entice industry to
their area.
At this time, Mr. Stomackin moved to grant a seven-year moratorium to the firm
Council had named in Executive Session, the moratorium to begin upon Rurchase
of land. Mrs. Hyatt seconded the motion.
Mayor Bueker suggested the following be included in the motion: lithe moratorium
for a period of seven years to be supported by a contract between the contractor
and City on those specific points discussed in Executive Session.
Mr. Stomackin requested this statement be made a part of his motion and Mrs.
Hyatt seconded the amended motion.
Mr. Mike Lawler asked if Council now knows who the company is and what type
of business and was assured by Mr. Schneider that they had all the information
they did not have before.
Mr. Don Grainger, unofficially speaking for the Greenfield Village Homeowners
asked if this was a type of business that would bring in the right kind of
labor market and was told by Council that it would have both skilled and un-
skilled labor but mostly skilled. Mr. Grainger was also concerned about
drainage and was told that drainage would be taken care of on the site, which
was all that would be affected as far as the City was concerned.
Mr. Douglas Mikus, unofficially representing the Business Club, complemented
Council on bringing in new business as it would benefit everyone in the City.
He said he was aware of several different businesses that are looking to our
area.
Mrs. Tienor of the Library, complemented the Council on their foresight in
bringing in new business to the area.
Mayor Bueker called for a vote on the motion before the floor, which motion
carried by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Howe, Hyatt, Sawyer and Stomackin
NAYS: Mr. Schneider, who qualified his vote by saying he welcomed new
businesses and thinks it is a good thing but he was against a seven-year
moratorium and think four years with an option for three additional years
would be the appropriate thing.

Mayor Bueker then said he would like for Council to consider the appointment
of an Industrial Committee, to be discussed at the next workshop meeting.
The Committee would serve as a single point of contact and would have those
elements most needed for industries to look at at that point in time and
would function just as other committees.
