leave any position on a board or commission vacant. Ms. Suarez is currently serving on the
Parks and Recreation Foundation.
Mr. Patrick Russell was not available on Friday for a phone interview. He currently serves on

The Solid Waste Franchise contract with Bexar Waste was extended on November 15, 2011 for

work together to acquire a new contract with Bexar Waste and bring it back to council for
discussion. The discussion at the Council meeting on December 18, 2012 led to this agreement
which includes the remainder of 2013 and an additional 6 years ending December 31, 2019 (for
a total of seven (7) years) with an option to extend an additional 6 years. Mr. Henry Gutierrez
is in full agreement with this contract. Below are the current and proposed rates for the 7 year

Section 86-118 Maximum Limits in

BACKGROUND
At the regular meeting on December 6, 2012 the Transportation Safety Advisory Commission
(TSAC), Staff recommended altering the school zone around the Allison Steele Enhanced
Learning Center (formerly Corbett Junior High) to include only the portions between 130 feet
east of Oak Street to 290 feet east of Curtiss Avenue on FM 1518. Staff also recommended
designating Curtiss Avenue between Beacon Drive and FM 1518 as a school zone and providing
appropriate signage. Both SCUCISD and TXDOT are agreeable with the change in school zones
as a result of reduced pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area due to the change in purpose of
the facility. TSAC concurred with staff and recommends Council establish both school zones.

obstructions due to the proximity of the Allison Steele Learning Center.

Center on FM 1518 and establish a school zone on Curtiss Avenue.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: January 29, 2013
Department: Public Works
Subject: Ordinance No. 13-D-02 - Establishing an
ordinance prohibiting all motor vehicles in
City drainage easements, drainage ditches,
drainage right of way and other unimproved
land. Final Reading
BACKGROUND
Currently the City does not have an ordinance in place to prohibit operation of motor
vehicles in City drainage easements, ditches, right of ways and unimproved land. The
Public Works department and Police department have received several complaints from
residents living adjacent to these channels. They report individuals operating ATV’s, dirt
bikes and other vehicles in the city’s easements and drainage ditches at all hours of the
night. This is disturbing our resident’s quiet enjoyment in their homes as well as causing
damages to these channels. Establishing an ordinance would provide the ability to enforce
punishment and fines for those caught driving in these areas and preventing expenses to
repair drainage areas due to the motor vehicles.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of January 15, 2013.
Goal
To establish an ordinance that prohibits all motor vehicles in City drainage easements,
ditches, right of way and unimproved land in the City.
Community Benefit
To provide the ability to enforce punishment and fines for those caught driving in
drainage channels and eliminate damage to our drainage easements, ditches and right
of ways.
Summary of Recommended Action
Staff recommends council approve the Ordinance prohibiting all motor vehicles in
City drainage easements, ditches, right of ways and unimproved land in the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sign Fabrication of $751.34. Funds are available in the FY 12-13 Drainage account
204-579-551610 Drainage Channel Maintenance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends council approve Ordinance 13-D-02 on final reading

WHEREAS, the City of Schertz, Texas (the “City”) includes within its boundaries
significant areas of land, both public and private, that are undeveloped and in many cases
unfenced and open to public access; and
WHEREAS, the City Staff has recommended that the City Council of the City restrict the

and properties, and protect such lands from environmental damage and degradation, without
impairing necessary and appropriate access to public and private lands in the City; and

properties; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City finds that it is in the best interest of the City to
restrict the use of all motor vehicles designed for highway use and all off-highway motor

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM/RESOLUTION
City Council Meeting: January 29, 2013
Department: EMS
Subject: Resolution No. 13-R-05 - EMS Accounts Receivables
Adjustments
BACKGROUND:
Per City Policy, EMS is to bring our contractual and accounts receivables adjustments before City
Council for proper accounting procedures to be accomplished by the Finance Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
The first adjustments we are requesting Council to make are on private pay accounts that have been
referred to our collection agency (MVBA). These represent accounts that were sent to MVBA from
September 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012. For this period we are requesting to remove
$409,062.21 from our accounts receivables account. These funds, from 434 separate accounts will
continue to be pursued and if recovered will be accounted for as miscellaneous revenue.
The second adjustment comes from our internal billing procedures. Some of these are negotiated charge
reductions, write-off’s of co-pays for citizens in the cities we serve, bills of homeless patients who we
cannot locate any longer, and bills of deceased patients who do not have insurance or estates from which
to recover EMS charges for service. The amount of this category is $36,028.22.
This period’s total adjustments are $445,090.43. This is the first Account Receivable Adjustment of
Fiscal Year 2013 out of a budgeted amount of $1,777,545.
