their victimization; and

victims of newly recognized crimes; and
Whereas, now is the time to embrace a new emphasis on learning what works in reaching underserved

CITY OF SCHERTZ POLICE DEPARTMENT
2025
MESSAGE FROM THE
CHIEF OF POLICE
It is with great pride and sincere appreciation
that I present this Annual Report for the Schertz
Police Department. This report reflects not only
the accomplishments of the past year, but more
importantly, the dedication, professionalism, and
service-oriented mindset of the men and women
who serve this department and our community
every day.
First and foremost, I want to recognize and thank
our employees; sworn officers, civilian staff, and
volunteers, whose hard work and commitment
make the Schertz Police Department what it is.
Law enforcement is, at its core, a service-based
profession. Our work requires long hours, personal
sacrifice, resilience, and an unwavering sense of
duty. The employees of this department consistently
demonstrate these qualities while maintaining the
highest standards of integrity, accountability, and
compassion. Their dedication to public service and
to one another is the foundation of our success.
Equally important to our mission is the strong
partnership we share with the community we
serve. Public safety cannot be achieved by law
enforcement alone. It requires collaboration, trust,
and mutual respect between the police department
and community members, businesses, elected
officials, and partner agencies. I am grateful for the
continued support, cooperation, and engagement
of the Schertz community, City Manager’s Office,
and our elected officials. Your willingness to work
alongside us, provide feedback, and participate in
problem-solving efforts strengthens our ability to
serve effectively and responsibly.

community we serve.
In closing, I extend my sincere gratitude to our

leadership, and our partner agencies for their

City of Schertz Police Department ANNUAL REPORT 2025 3
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
It is my privilege to present the 2025 Annual Report
of the Schertz Police Department to our residents,
businesses, and community partners.
Schertz is a city defined by growth, opportunity,
service, and community pride. With that growth
comes responsibility, the responsibility to protect
our neighborhoods, support our families, and
ensure that everyone who lives, works, and visits
here feels safe. Each day, the dedicated men and
women of the Schertz Police Department answer
that call with courage, professionalism, and an
unwavering commitment to excellence.
Because of their tireless efforts, Schertz continues
to be recognized as one of the safest cities in
the nation, including being named the 9th safest
city in Texas for 2025. While we are proud of this
achievement, what truly sets our department apart
is our constant drive to improve, adapt, and serve
our community even better.
Our officers, dispatchers, and civilian staff do more
than enforce the law; they build trust, strengthen
relationships, and help shape a safer future for
everyone. Their service reflects the very character
of our city. Schertz is also proud to be home to a
large population of active-duty military members,
veterans, and their families, and that deep
tradition of service and sacrifice is reflected in the
commitment and values we see throughout our
police department.
This report highlights the dedication and progress
of these professionals, and I encourage you to read
it. On behalf of the Schertz City Council, I ask you
to join us in supporting our officers and partnering
with them to make this community the very best

MESSAGE FROM THE
CITY MANAGER
This year, the Schertz Police Department has
continued to set the standard for excellence in public
safety and community engagement. Their recognition
as the 2025 Outstanding Crime Prevention Agency –
Small Agency, along with Chief James W. Lowery,
Jr.’s honor as 2025 Outstanding Crime Prevention
Manager, reflects the dedication and leadership that
guide their daily work.
Beyond these awards, what stands out most is
the department’s commitment to building strong
connections with our community. Through programs
like the Citizens Police Academy, Jr. Police Academy,
and Teen Police Academy, the department invests
in educating and engaging residents of all ages.
Services such as car seat checks and security
assessments also provide valuable support to
residents and businesses. Community events like
National Night Out, Blue Santa, Coffee with a Cop,
and Breakfast with the Blue show that our police
officers are not only protecting Schertz but are also
deeply invested in the people who call it home.
I am grateful for Chief Lowery and every member
of the Schertz Police Department. Their dedication
makes Schertz a safer, stronger, and more connected
community.

Department Internal Affairs
This section compares Internal Affairs (IA)
investigations completed in calendar years 2024
and 2025, organized by standard disposition
categories: Sustained, Not Sustained, and
Exonerated/Unfounded. These categories reflect
the evidentiary outcome of each investigation and
help ensure consistent reporting and accountability
measures across cases.
A “Sustained” finding indicates the allegation was
supported by sufficient evidence and that a policy
violation occurred. A “Not Sustained” finding
indicates the available evidence was insufficient
to prove or disprove the allegation. “Exonerated/
Unfounded” indicates either the allegation was not
supported by the facts as reported (Unfounded) or
the employee’s actions were lawful, proper, and
within policy (Exonerated). These outcomes are
evidence-based determinations and do not reflect
pre-judgment; they reflect what can be established
through documentation, interviews, and objective
review.

Department Use of Force Stats
Use of Force is an occasional and unfortunate
outcome of police work. Statistics from around
the nation show a very small percentage of
police contacts result in use of force, and applied
force does not equal excessive force. An annual
review by Professional Standards helps guide
training, supervision, policy refinement, and the
handling of force-related allegations. In 2025, the
Schertz Police Department had 251 Use of Force
applications. It should also be noted that more
than one type of use of force may be used during a
single event.

FIELD OPERATIONS
BUREAU
The Field Operations Bureau is the
backbone of the department and the face
the public is familiar with. Field Operations
consists of the Uniform Services Division
which oversees vital aspects of the
department. From Uniform Patrol, Special
Events Planning and Coordination, K-9,
and the Field Training Program. The Field
Operations Bureau is the largest and one of
the most visible aspects of the department.
Uniform Patrol
Patrol officers serve as the most visible
representatives of the police department by playing
a crucial role in fostering community safety. Their
presence not only deters criminal activity but also
instills a sense of security among residents. These
dedicated professionals respond swiftly to both
emergency and non-emergency calls, addressing
situations ranging from traffic accidents to domestic
disputes with skill and empathy. Moreover, by
actively engaging with community members, patrol
officers build strong relationships and foster trust,
enhancing public cooperation in crime reporting
and prevention efforts. This collaborative approach
is essential for creating safer neighborhoods and
ensuring a more resilient community.
10 City of Schertz Police Department ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Canine Unit
The Schertz Police K9 Unit plays an
indispensable role in law enforcement,
significantly enhancing public safety and
strengthening police operations. These highly
trained dogs are adept at detecting drugs,
explosives, and human scents, making them
invaluable assets in criminal investigations
and threat prevention. K9s are not only
skilled at pursuing and apprehending
dangerous suspects, but they also do so
while maintaining the safety of both officers
and civilians. Through rigorous training
that emphasizes obedience, agility, and
specialized operational tasks, these K9s
become exceptional partners in a wide range
of environments, ensuring a safer community
for everyone.
Alamo Area Special Weapons and
Tactics Team
The Schertz Police Department is proud to be part
of the Alamo Area Special Weapons and Tactics
Team. Partnered with several municipal agencies,
the Schertz Police Department currently contributes
four SWAT operators and two Crisis Negotiators. All
team members receive specialized training for their
specialty to assist our law enforcement partners to
ensure continued safety in Schertz and surrounding
communities. In 2025, the AASWAT Team
responded to seven operations, which included
emergency callouts and warrant deployments, and
trained for over 152 hours.
Field Training Program
All commissioned peace officers employed by the
Schertz Police Department are required to undergo
an intensive, on-the-job training known as the Field
Training Program. This training and evaluation
program helps new officers transition from the
classroom environment to a practical application
of what they have learned in the Police Academy
so that they can be certified for solo patrol.
There is also an accelerated program to acquaint
officers with prior experience to the Schertz Police
Department. The Field Training Officers (FTOs)
provide one-on-one training for the recruits that
lasts approximately 21 weeks. During that time,
recruit officers progress through five phases and
rotate FTOs and shifts each phase. Once the 21-
week training program is completed, the recruit
officers are assigned to the Uniformed Patrol
Division as Patrol Officers. In 2025, the department
had approximately 10 available FTOs who have
trained 12 recruit officers.
These highly trained dogs are adept at detecting drugs, explosives, and human scents, making them invaluable assets.

COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
Throughout 2025, the Schertz Police
Department initiated and participated
in a variety of programs that promoted
community engagement and safety,
education, such as neighborhood watch,
child safety seat inspections, Blue Santa,
and the Youth and Citizens
Police Academies.
Schertz Citizens Police Academy
Alumni Association
In 1991, the Schertz Police Department
established a citizen volunteer program called
Schertz Citizens Police Academy Alumni
Association (SCPAAA). These citizens volunteers
are not commissioned as sworn officers and have
no enforcement authority beyond that of any
citizen, but assist officers with designated, non-
confrontational activities.
The Department draws on time, talents, and
experience of its volunteers to allow Officers to
better perform their frontline duties. We attempt
to match volunteers to jobs according to their
strengths and abilities.
Volunteers must be a graduate of the Schertz
Citizens Police Academy (SCPA) but need no
prior experience. After completing the SCPA
Program, citizens volunteers complete at least
four hours of volunteer work per month. Citizens
volunteers perform the following services:
■Assist at animal services
■Assist in a variety of administration situations
■Assist in vacation house watch
■Assist in crime prevention by participating in
citizen on patrol
■Festivals/parade patrols
■Assist in vehicle maintenance
■Assist with community engagement/event
Citizen volunteers drive a specially marked
vehicle bearing the Citizens on Patrol logo. To
drive the C.O.P. vehicle, volunteers must be CPR
certified, take the Defensive Driving Course, and
take the Traffic Incident Management course.
Our SCPAAA is a non-profit organization that has
also participated in a variety of fundraisers to help
purchase various equipment for the Department.
In 2024, the SCPAAA purchased a DJI Drone and
in 2025, they purchased a TruNarc.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council
Meeting:April 07, 2026
Department:Engineering
Subject:Resolution 26-R-032 - Authorizing an amendment to the professional
services agreement with Halff Associates for the FM 1518 Utility
Relocation Project (B.James/K.Woodlee/E.Schulze)
BACKGROUND
City staff has determined that the City requires additional engineering-related services for the
completion of the FM 1518 Water and Wastewater Relocation Project. Halff Associates, Inc. (Halff)
has exceeded the project scope with respect to construction administration services and is requesting
an additional fee to complete the project.
The original agreement with Halff for the design, bid, and construction phase services was for
$548,370 with a not to exceed amount of $600,000 as approved by council on May 5, 2021, with
Resolution 21-R-37. Due to additional design revisions requested by the City and TxDOT as well as
increased coordination efforts throughout the construction phase of this project, Halff had previously
been approved to reallocate their fees between “Data Collection” and “Utility Design” as well as to
increase the construction phase services an additional $43,500. This increased the total contract
amount to $591,870, which remained within the not to exceed amount originally approved.
Recently, Halff has been tasked with resolving conflicts with abandoned asbestos cement (AC) water
lines that were not known to exist prior to design or construction beginning. These abandoned
utilities required testing of their structural integrity to satisfy TxDOT in order remain
abandoned-in-place without removal. Halff is requesting an additional fee of $25,000 since this effort
was not included in their original scope of work. With this amendment, the total professional services
agreement amount will be $616,870 and the new not to exceed amount will be $625,000.
GOAL
The goal of Resolution 26-R-032 is to obtain authorization from City Council to have Halff provide
additional services toward completion of the FM 1518 Water and Wastewater Relocation Project.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The relocation of these lines will ensure the City utilities are provided in an alignment that allows
adequate space for future maintenance, and prevents conflicts with TxDOT’s proposed roadway.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 26-R-032, authorizing an amendment to
Halff’s agreement for the FM 1518 Relocation Project, for an additional amount of $25,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the project was allocated from the City’s Water and Sewer Construction Reserves, bond
Funding for the project was allocated from the City’s Water and Sewer Construction Reserves, bond
proceeds, and ARP funds. The amendment to the task order is an additional $25,000 which is within
the budget funded by those sources.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution 26-R-032.

Amendment to Task Order
AMENDMENT TO TASK ORDER
Amendment No. 2
Task Order Number: 03
Project Name: FM 1518 Utility Relocations
Owner: City of Schertz
Engineer: Halff Associates, Inc.
General Purpose of the Amendment:
This amendment is intended to support the City's request, and in coordination with
TxDOT’s Project Manager, Halff Associates has continued to provide additional assistance
in the Construction Phase Services (Phase 500) of the FM 1518 Utility Relocations
Project. The additional assistance is related to design assistance/coordination
required for Construction Phase Services by TxDOT and the City, which was
necessary to keep the accelerated project, associated with the joint bid of the City of
Schertz Utilities and the TxDOT FM 1518 reconstruction project, on schedule. Below,
in the modification of the description, is a summary of the additional efforts under
the amendment.
The objective of this amendment is to ensure the city continues to receive the necessary
support from Halff related to the Construction Phase Services Phase of this project and to
cover any additional items that arise during this phase until construction is completed.
Description of Modifications:
In accordance with the contracted scope and fee under the Original Task Order, Halff has
fully utilized the allocated budget for Construction Phase Services. This effort was
necessary due to changes requested by the city and TxDOT and associated coordination
efforts, including attending weekly meetings with TxDOT, preparing additional plan
sheets for a water line to tie into an existing development, attending onsite meetings with
city and TxDOT staff, coordinating the abandonment of an asbestos waterline, and
addressing questions from the contractor to address conflicts with other utilities
relocated as part of this project.
Approximately two to four months of construction coordination remain, and we estimate
that the requested additional fee of $25,000 is needed for the Construction Phase
Services. Most of this effort is expected to be spent keeping up with the tight TxDOT
schedule.

Purchasing Microsoft Azure Services
Customer may purchase Microsoft Azure Services from SHI in one or a combination of the following ways: Azure
Prepayment: Customer will have access to its entire Azure prepayment throughout the term of its Enrollment if Customer
agrees to be invoiced for the full amount upfront (the "Fully Prepaid Option"). Alternatively, if Customer elects to be invoiced
for its Azure prepayment on an annual basis, Customer will have access to an Allocated Annual prepayment each year of the
Enrollment (the "Annually Prepaid Option"). Under the Fully Prepaid Option, any unused Azure prepayment will be forfeited
at the end of the Enrollment, and under the Annually Prepaid Option, any unused Allocated Annual prepayment will be
forfeited on the following Enrollment anniversary date.
Using Azure prepayment: Each month, Microsoft will deduct from Customer's Azure prepayment (or Allocated Annual
prepayment, if applicable) the monetary value of Customer's usage of eligible Microsoft Azure Services. Once Customer's
Azure prepayment (or Allocated Annual prepayment, if applicable) balance has been exhausted, any additional usage will be
invoiced at Consumption Rates (as described below).
Invoicing Azure prepayment: If Customer elects the Fully Prepaid Option, Azure prepayment will be invoiced immediately. If
Customer elects the Annually Prepaid Option, the first Allocated Annual prepayment will be invoiced immediately, and future
Allocated Annual prepayments will be invoiced on the anniversary of the Enrollment effective date.
Invoicing Azure prepayment overage: If Customer's usage is higher than either its Azure prepayment under the Fully Prepaid
Option or its Allocated Annual prepayment under the Annually Prepaid Option, such excess will be invoiced at Consumption
Rates to Customer at the end of each Enrollment month.
Consumption: Customer pays based on the amount of Microsoft Azure Services consumed during a billing period.
Consumption invoicing: If Customer provisions Microsoft Azure Services without an Azure prepayment, SHI will invoice
customer in the following month of usage at Consumption Rates. All usage of the Microsoft Azure Services after the
expiration or termination of Customer's subscription term will be invoiced by SHI to Customer at then-current Consumption
Rates monthly.
SHI will invoice eligible Microsoft Azure Services at the contracted mark-up. Please refer to the Azure Portal or Pricing

EXHIBIT A
Designation and Use of Certain City
Facilities Under Texas Government Code, Chapter 3002
1. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to implement the requirements imposed on municipalities by Texas
Government Code, Chapter 3002, relating to the designation and use of certain multiple occupancy
private spaces in City-owned, City-operated, or City-controlled buildings according
to sex.
2. Applicability
2.1. This policy applies to:
(a) every building and facility the City owns, operates, or controls; and
(b) every multiple-occupancy private space within those facilities, as that term is used
in Chapter 3002 (e.g., restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, showers designed for
more than one person at a time).
2.2. This policy does not apply to facilities the City neither owns, operates, nor controls, or to
private businesses.
3. Terms & Definitions
For purposes of this policy, the definitions in Texas Government Code, Chapter 3002, are adopted
by reference, including but not limited to “multiple-occupancy private space,” “single occupancy
private space,” “political subdivision,” and “sex.”
4. Designation of Facilities
4.1. Facilities Management shall complete an inventory of all City-controlled facilities and
identify every multiple-occupancy private space.
4.2. Each identified multiple-occupancy private space shall be designated for use only by
individuals of one sex (male or female) and shall have exterior signage indicating the designation.
4.3. Departments shall take “every reasonable step” to ensure that individuals do not enter a
multiple-occupancy private space designated for the opposite sex, consistent with Chapter 3002.
Reasonable steps may include signage, staff direction, and adjustments to access points.
4
5. Single-Occupancy Options
This policy does not prohibit the City from providing or creating:
5.1. single-occupancy restrooms,
5.2. family restrooms, or
5.3. changing rooms,
as allowed in Chapter 3002.
6. Statutory Exceptions
Access inconsistent with the posted designation is permitted only in the limited circumstances
identified in Chapter 3002, such as custodial/maintenance access, emergencies, law enforcement
needs, assistance to a person who needs help, or a child of or under the age prescribed by law who
is accompanied by a caregiver. Staff shall be trained to recognize these exceptions.
7. Complaints and Cure
7.1. Chapter 3002 allows Texas residents to file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General
if a political subdivision has not complied, but only after the political subdivision has been given
written notice and three business days to cure.
7.2. Any employee who receives a written complaint or notice alleging noncompliance with
Chapter 3002 must immediately forward it to:
(a) the City Manager (or designee), and
(b) the City Attorney’s Office.
7.3. The receiving department must correct any substantiated noncompliance (e.g., missing
sign, mis-designation, staff error) within three business days of receipt so the City can demonstrate
cure within the statutory window.
8. Communications
8.1. The City may post on its website or in City facilities a general statement that City facility
designations are made pursuant to state law (Chapter 3002, Texas Government Code).
8.2. The City may also provide contact information for the State of Texas or for state legislative
offices for members of the public who have questions or concerns about the scope or content of
Chapter 3002.
5
9. Enforcement
Failure by City personnel to follow this policy may be addressed under normal personnel
procedures. External enforcement, including civil penalties and private actions, is governed
exclusively by Chapter 3002 and is outside the City’s control.
10. No Waiver of Immunity
Nothing in this policy shall be construed as a waiver of the immunities and jurisdictional
limitations preserved to the City by Chapter 3002, including Sections 3002.106–.109, or by any
other law.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council
Meeting:April 07, 2026
Department:Fire Department
Subject:Resolution 26-R-047 - Authorize the City Manager to apply for and
accept funds from the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) to
purchase a tethered unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in order
to improve and enhance department and city UAS
capabilities (S.Williams/G.Rodgers)
BACKGROUND
This project is a strategic initiative by the City of Schertz Office of Emergency Management to
secure federal funding through the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The goal is to procure a
Tethered Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) that will be operated by the Schertz Fire Department to
serve both local and regional safety needs.
Core Objectives
Persistent Oversight: Unlike traditional drones that are limited by battery life, this system uses
a physical tether for continuous power and data transmission.
Enhanced Situational Awareness: The drone provides a high-altitude, uninterrupted "eye in
the sky" to help incident commanders maintain a common operating picture during
long-duration events.
Regional Collaboration: The equipment is intended for regional deployment, benefiting the
San Antonio UASI and the GUADACOMA Emergency Response Group, covering Bexar,
Comal, and Guadalupe counties.
Strategic Necessity
Addressing Capability Gaps: Current assets suffer from signal vulnerabilities and short flight
times, which create "blind spots" during complex responses.
Terrorism Prevention: The system is designed to monitor "soft targets" (crowded places) and
critical infrastructure to prevent and respond to coordinated attacks.
THIRA/SPR Alignment: The project directly addresses deficiencies identified in the regional
Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and the State Preparedness
Report (SPR) regarding intelligence sharing and operational coordination.
Sustained Operations
Financial Commitment: The City of Schertz plans to transition recurring maintenance and
life-cycle costs into the Fire Department’s annual budget once the grant period ends.
Professional Standards: The project leverages existing Part 107 certified personnel and
ensures compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
GOAL
The primary goal of this application is to secure Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) funding to
The primary goal of this application is to secure Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) funding to
procure a Tethered Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for the City of Schertz. This system is
designed to provide persistent, high-altitude situational awareness and secure communications
during extended emergency incidents or large-scale special events.
The project aims to achieve the following specific objectives:
Close Capability Gaps: It addresses the limitations of standard drones, such as short battery
life and signal vulnerabilities, which currently hinder long-term overwatch and real-time
intelligence sharing.
Enhance Regional Coordination: The system will be a regional asset housed at the Schertz
Fire Department, deployed to assist partners in the San Antonio UASI and GUADACOMA
Emergency Response Group across Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe counties.
Support Terrorism Prevention: The drone will provide uninterrupted surveillance of soft
targets, crowded places, and critical infrastructure to reduce vulnerabilities to coordinated
attacks.
Establish a Common Operating Picture: By delivering a continuous, live video feed, the
system ensures that all responding agencies maintain a unified and stable operational structure
during complex responses.
Align with Strategic Goals: The project directly fulfills priorities within the Texas Homeland
Security Strategic Plan and addresses deficiencies noted in the regional Threat and Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA).
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The acquisition of a tethered drone system provides several layers of protection and operational
enhancement for the Schertz community, focusing on public safety and regional resilience.
Enhanced Public Safety for Local Events
The system provides persistent, high-altitude situational awareness during large-scale emergency
incidents and special events within the city. Unlike standard drones that must land frequently to
change batteries, this system remains airborne for the entire duration of an event, ensuring there are
no "blind spots" during critical times. This is particularly beneficial for:
Crowded Places: Providing superior overwatch for festivals, parks, and shopping centers to
prevent and respond to threats.
Search and Rescue: Supporting local search operations with an uninterrupted view of the area.
Protection of Critical Infrastructure
Schertz sits along vital transportation and utility corridors that are essential to the community's daily
life. This project allows for:
Continuous Monitoring: Uninterrupted surveillance of critical infrastructure to reduce
vulnerabilities to attacks or accidents.
Rapid Threat Detection: Delivering a real-time common operating picture that allows city
leadership and emergency responders to detect and mitigate hazards quickly.
Regional Leadership and Resource Access
By housing this equipment at the Schertz Fire Department, the city establishes itself as a key player in
regional emergency management.
Mutual Aid Benefits: Schertz residents benefit from the city's enhanced ability to coordinate
with regional partners like the San Antonio UASI and GUADACOMA groups.
Improved Coordination: The system ensures all responding agencies—whether local, county,
or state—are looking at the same live data, leading to a more efficient and unified response
during a crisis.
Fiscal Responsibility
The project is designed to be a sustainable investment that does not rely indefinitely on outside
funding.
Grant Funded Procurement: The initial high cost of the specialized hardware is covered by
federal UASI funds rather than local tax dollars.
Long-Term Planning: The city has already committed to integrating recurring maintenance
into the Fire Department's budget, ensuring the equipment remains operational and ready for
the community's needs for years to come.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Grant Application Submission: Formally approve the submission of the
Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant application for the project titled "Enhancing
Unmanned Aircraft Systems Capabilities".
Designate the Schertz Fire Department as the Host Agency: Confirm that the tethered drone
system will be housed, maintained, and deployed by the Schertz Fire Department for both local
and regional operations.
Approve Long-Term Budgetary Integration: Commit to transitioning the recurring
maintenance and equipment life-cycle replacement costs into the Fire Department’s annual
operating budget once the federal grant funding period ends.
Ensure Continued Compliance with State Requirements: Direct the Office of Emergency
Management to maintain the city's eligibility by fulfilling annual cybersecurity training,
criminal history reporting standards, and the maintenance of an "Intermediate Level"
Emergency Management Plan.
Adopt the Regional Response Framework: Support the use of this equipment as a regional
asset to be shared with partners in the San Antonio UASI and the GUADACOMA Emergency
Response Group.

Meeting:April 07, 2026
Department:Engineering
Subject:Resolution 26-R-049 - Authorizing a Task Order Amendment with
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the Schertz Forest Roadway and
Waterline Improvements Project (B.James/K.Woodlee/J.Nowak)
BACKGROUND
Previously, Council authorized a Task Order Agreement (Professional Services Agreement) with
Kimley Horn for the Schertz Forest Roadway and Waterline Improvement Project. This project
combined two project efforts — a water line replacement project and resurfacing, rehabilitation,
and reconstruction of the streets in the subdivision (part of an earlier planned SPAM project). As the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was modified, the project was formally called the "Robin Hood Way
Water Line Replacement Project" since the majority of the total project costs are associated with the
water line replacement. Both names are actually referring to the same project.
As the project design progressed, it was noted that the FM 1518 project was relocating water lines in
FM 1518 and extending slightly down Ware Seguin Road. With the original planned water line
replacement addressing the water lines across the width of the Schertz Forest Subdivision only, this
would leave a relatively short section of "old" water line along Ware Seguin Road between the
subdivision and FM 1518. The "old" section of line would be more prone to failures in the future and
would have a shorter service life than the new lines. Staff determined it would be prudent to also
replace this segment of water line to have a continuous "run" of new water line from FM 1518 to the
western boundary of the subdivision. This would reduce the failure potential and provide a similar
service life for the water line segments.
The Schertz Forest Subdivision has some known drainage issues that cause ponding at
some locations. The ponding has caused settlement/deterioration of the curb and has caused the
pavement section to deteriorate more quickly. The planned design effort assumed a straightforward,
but relatively simple approach would be sufficient to address the ponding issues. However, as the
design progressed, it was discovered that more effort was needed in order to address the ponding
issues. The additional effort needed involves some additional surveying and design work to replace
longer sections of curb and regrade some drainage features. The proposed amendment provides for
this additional design effort.
Additionally, as the design progressed, it was noted that some earlier observed pavement failure areas
and curb settlement areas have increased significantly. This was causing the street improvement costs
to increase significantly beyond the current available budget. With the proposed amendment,
some additional pavement section options will be evaluated and the project design modified to
reduce the street construction cost, but still provide a similar expected service life, to get the
construction costs closer to the available budget amount.
Because the proposed amendment is covering multiple project scope items, the cost of the amendment
exceeds the current available contingency in the current not to exceed amount ($720,000) for the
exceeds the current available contingency in the current not to exceed amount ($720,000) for the
project design. The current not to exceed amount has approximately $29,000 of contingency
available. Staff's recommendation is to increase the not to exceed amount to $764,000, which will
provide funding for the proposed amendment and still preserve approximately $28,000 of
contingency for the project design.
GOAL
To have Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement
Amendment with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to add some additional design services to the
project scope for the Robin Hood Way Water Line Replacement Project.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Replacing an additional segment of existing water main along Ware Seguin Road will result in new
water main being installed along FM 1518; along Ware Seguin Road to the Schertz Forest
Subdivision; and in the "main road" through the Schertz Forest Subdivision. This would avoid having
a short segment of older water main between the subdivision and FM 1518 which would be more
prone to failure as time goes on. It would result in all the water main segment being new and having
the same service life. Performing additional survey and design work on part of the streets and
drainage channels in the Subdivision will reduce the existing ponding, leading to an increased service
life for the pavement section.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approval of a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement Amendment with Kimley-Horn and Associates for additional design scope for the Schertz
Forest Roadway and Waterline Improvement Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The CIP Project Sheet (Robin Hood Way Waterline Replacement Project) has $930,000 allocated for
Professional Services. The original Not to Exceed amount of the Professional Services
Agreement was significantly below this at $720,000. The proposed increase in the Not to Exceed
amount to $764,000 is still well below the CIP allocated funding amount. No funding transfer or
budget amendment is required for this Professional Services Agreement Amendment.

RE: Schertz Forest Roadway and Water Line Improvements Project – TO-01
Amendment No. 1 – Additional Design Services
Dear Mr. Nowak:
As requested by the City of Schertz (“City”), Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (“Kimley-Horn) is submitting
this amendment letter for additional design services to extend the proposed water main relocation to a 45-
degree bend installed as part of the FM 1518 widening project. As part of the original scope of work, the
proposed water main for the Schertz Forest project would tie-in to the existing water main at the Nottingshire
and Ware Seguin Road intersection. During the 50% review meeting, the City determined it would be in the
best interest of the project to replace the main fully to a connection point on the new water main installed
near FM 1518 and Ware Seguin Road. This extension will allow for a brand-new water main from
Nottingshire to FM 1518.
In addition to the water line extension on Ware Seguin Road, additional survey is required within an existing
drainage easement at 7018 and 7024 Robin Hood Way. The true low point in the Robin Hood Way profile
is at the property line of these two parcels, and Robin Hood Way discharges into this drainage easement.
Through discussions with City staff it was determined to obtain additional survey of the existing easement
and regrade as needed to ensure sufficient gravity slope is maintained from the low point at Robin Hood
Way. This will require additional design including grading of the existing easement and replacement of
existing wrought iron fences at both parcels.
To accommodate these additional design services, additional traffic control (TCP) and SW3P will also be
required.
Lastly, after review of the original design scope of services, the street reconstruction limits has increased
as originally proposed. This resulted in an additional 13 driveway profiles needed to accommodate the
change in grading. Kimley-Horn is requesting additional fee to cover these additional driveway designs.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The below tasks outline the additional scope of work to be completed by Kimley-Horn for the above
referenced additional design services:
Task 1: Project Management

City Council
Meeting:April 07, 2026
Department:Facility & Fleet
Subject:Resolution 26-R-021 - Authorizing expenditures with Versalift for the
acquisition of an Aerial Bucket Truck as part of the FY2025-26
Supplemental Vehicle/Equipment Replacement/Acquisition program
(B.James/D.Hardin/M.Chappell)
BACKGROUND
Each fiscal year, the Fleet Department submits requests to purchase vehicles and equipment. These
purchases help replace aging vehicles and support expansion of the fleet, ensuring the City maintains
reliable and efficient operations. This request, for an Aerial Bucket Truck for the Water and
Wastewater Department, was approved at the start of the FY2025–26 budget year.
The Fleet Department worked with Purchasing to issue a Request for Bids (RFB) because the total
cost was anticipated to exceed $100,000. The process focused on selecting the lowest responsive bid
and ensuring delivery by the end of FY2025–26. Multiple bids were received. Versalift submitted the
lowest bid and meets the specifications agreed upon by the Public Works and Fleet Departments.
GOAL
To authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase order for the purchase of the vehicle from
Versalift as part of the vehicle and equipment replacement and acquisition program.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Having a current and operational Fleet will provide all departments with the necessary vehicles and
equipment to perform their assigned duties within the City of Schertz and reduce the maintenance
cost of an aging fleet.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approval of this resolution will allow the purchase of the vehicles/equipment listed in the vehicle
replacement program for FY2025-26.
FISCAL IMPACT
The purchase of the vehicle/equipment will be funded through the city’s Water & Sewer budget. The
fiscal impact of this project will be approximately $187,000.00. These funds were approved in the
FY 2025-26 supplemental budget.

City Council
Meeting:April 07, 2026
Department:Facility & Fleet
Subject:Resolution 26-R-037 - Authorizing the purchase and installation
of twenty-six (26) HVAC systems from Way Mechanical
(B.James/D.Hardin/C.Lonsberry)
BACKGROUND
The City needs to replace twenty-six (26) pieces of HVAC equipment that are failing or nearing
the end of life expectancy. There will be eleven (11) systems replaced at the Recreation Center
(YMCA), nine (9) systems replaced at the Schertz Public Library, one (1) system replaced at the
Schertz City Council Building, and five (5) systems replaced at the Schertz City Hall. City Hall will
also need some extra work performed, which will bring the area the units sit to the current
HVAC codes, Electrical codes, Plumbing codes, building safety codes by installing a safety railing
and a roof screen.
Staff was initially planning to procure these services using a request for bids, but after reviewing
purchasing cooperatives, it was discovered that one had many of the major companies likely to bid on
the project. Purchases under the cooperative programs meet the requirements under the Texas Local
Government Purchasing Code. The decision was made to get quotes for the work from those vendors
through the purchasing cooperatives with the belief this would ensure a number of firms bid on the
work and the City received the best pricing. The decision was made to get pricing for the entirety of
the work to achieve economies of scale. Way Mechanical, a TIPS purchasing cooperative vendor was
selected as their price was more than $150,000 less than the next lowest priced vendor.
GOAL
To obtain authorization to approve an agreement with Way Mechanical to purchase and
install twenty-six (26) HVAC systems and to make changes to City Hall to bring them up to current
codes.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
To improve HVAC efficiency across four (4) buildings – City Hall, Council Chambers, Library, and
YMCA to lower electrical consumption, replace aging HVAC equipment before the equipment fails
and bring our buildings up to current building and trade codes and city ordinances.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize approval of an agreement to purchase twenty-six (26) HVAC systems and
installation with Way Mechanical.
FISCAL IMPACT
The quote is $829,472.26 for the purchase and installation of the equipment, plus a 10% contingency
The quote is $829,472.26 for the purchase and installation of the equipment, plus a 10% contingency
for any unknowns, totaling $912,000. These funds were previously approved
FY2021-22 through CO22 bond, Energy Efficiency Project.

negotiations have been futile will likely be brought before Council in an upcoming meeting. Our
consultant is looking further into the conservation easement that is the concern of the landowner and
also compiling his correspondence and offers made to support the need for eminent domain should this
be the City’s only option to secure the necessary easement. The project is being broken into two
separate construction projects so that the line between Graytown and Pfeil can proceed to construction
while outstanding work acquiring easements for the line between Lower Seguin and Ware Seguin is
still being done.
