• Mrs. Susan DeGraffenried, 5140 Columbia Dr., who spoke in favor of agenda
item 12 supporting the grant application for development of the
Hilltop /Homestead Park.
City Secretary Brenda Dennis read the following into record for those that provided
information prior to the council meeting.
• Mr. Clark McChesney President, Laura Heights Estates HOA - spoke on behalf
of their Board of Directors in support of agenda Item 22, rezoning from
Manufacturing Light and General Business to Planned Development District.
Also, he expressed that development does not come without cost in city services
and infrastructure. Took exception to the statement in the background
information where it reads there will be minimal impact on public services such
as schools, fire, police, etc., They believe every community in Southern Schertz
will tell you that they feel they are underserved with routine police patrolling.
Chief Hansen's focus on community policing is great, but his department is
under - resourced to meet the mission. They rarely see routine police patrols in
Laura Heights Estates. On the subject of infrastructure, Graytown and Boenig
roads are both substandard and rapidly deteriorating. The speed limit on
Graytown at 45 mph is too high for the condition of the road. They encourage
council to approve the rezoning change, but only if they also intend to make a
future commitment to additional resources for the underserved residents of
Southern Schertz.
• Mr. John Sullivan, 513 Triple Crown - spoke on his concerns of approving
agenda item 22, rezoning from Manufacturing Light and General Business to
Planned Development District as it will put increased demands on city staff and
services. He stated that generally the impact on city services would not be a
major factor, but given we are already understaffed in departments and this is
even farther from the city's service points. Rezoning from GB and M -1 is likely
to have a greater cost to the city long -term.
Consent Agenda Items
The Consent Agenda is considered self - explanatory and will be enacted by the
Council with one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless
they are removed from the Consent Agenda upon the request of the Mayor or a

21. Resolution No. 20 -R -83 - Consideration and/or action approving a
Resolution by the City Council of the City of Schertz authorizing an
Interlocal Agreement with the City of San Antonio for the release and
acceptance of extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). (M. Browne /B. James)
Councilmember Dahle returned to the dais.
The following was read into record:
Resolution No. 20 -R -83 - A Resolution by the City Council of the City of
Schertz, Texas authorizing an interlocal agreement with the City of San
Antonio for the release and acceptance of extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ),
and related matters in connection Therewith.
Councilmember Scagliola recognized Assistant City Manager Brian James
who introduced this item stating the City of Schertz was approached by the
owner of property in the City of Schertz, generally in the vicinity of Lookout
Road and Doerr Lane, about requesting the release of 141 acres of adjacent
property they own, that is in the City of San Antonio's extraterritorial
jurisdiction (ETJ). The property in question has very limited access as it is
bounded by railroad tracks on the north and south sides as well as the Cibolo
Creek to the west. It is at the end of Tejas Way, a City of Schertz public street
that connects to Doerr Lane. As future development may cross the boundary
between City of Schertz and City of San Antonio ETJ, the owner felt the
entire property being in the City of Schertz would make development easier.
The agreement provides that the City Annex the property - which requires the
City to provide services such as Fire and Police service as well as
maintenance of public infrastructure. Per the agreement the City would pay
half of the fees and taxes collected by the City, as outlined in the agreement to
San Antonio for a period of 30 years. After 30 years the City would retain all
the taxes and fees paid to the City. As it stands presently, with the property in
the ETJ, the City of Schertz would not receive any tax benefits from the
property.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution to authorize the City Manager to
enter into an ILA with the City of San Antonio providing for the release and
acceptance of ETJ generally as per the terms of the attached ILA. Staff is
waiting to hear if the City of San Antonio has any revisions to the draft
10
agreement. Minor changes can be approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney, but substantive changes would require approval by City Council.
Mr. James addressed questions from Council.
Moved by Councilmember Tim Brown, seconded by Councilmember
Allison Heyward to approve Resolution No. 20 -R -83.
