Greg Sebold and Kari Flanagan, 3841 Greenridge & 3921 Pecan Ct., expressed concerns regarding stormwater infrastructure damage in his community, Scenic Hills, following the heavy rainfall event on May 27. He stated that stormwater diverted from an adjacent development contributed to the collapse of the community's private stormwater system for the second time, resulting in an estimated $87,000 in immediate repair costs, with additional repairs anticipated. He referenced provisions of the Texas Water Code regarding diverted surface water and asserted that responsibility for the damage should rest with the entity diverting the water.

Moved by Councilmember Michelle Watson, seconded by Councilmember Robert Sheridan AYE: Mayor Pro Tem Mark Davis, Councilmember Michelle Watson, Councilmember Paul Macaluso,Councilmember Ben Guerrero, Councilmember Robert Westbrook, Councilmember Sarah Dietz,Councilmember Robert Sheridan Passed 4 Mayor Rodriguez recognized Councilmember Sheridan to address the removal of Agenda Item #2 — Resolution 26-R-082 from Consent. Councilmember Sheridan requested additional information to understand the reason for this transfer. City Engineer Kathryn Woodlee explained that the need for the transfer comes from a property owner that is looking to develop a small piece of land for commercial purposes. This particular property sits outside the City limits for which Green Valley's CCN provides water service. Green Valley does not have the infrastructure capacity to serve this piece of land, but the City does. After an evaluation of the case, staff is proposing to provide the water service, as this would not require any additional upgrades and the current infrastructure can supply the need. No additional discussion occurred. Mayor Rodriguez asked for a motion to approve Agenda Item #2 Resolution 26-R-082.

Ms. Courney provided the proposed City Council Liaison Assignment Policy, including a discrepancy between Sections A and B. Section A limited eligibility for appointed City Council liaisons to elected council members, while Section B referenced both newly elected and appointed council members temporarily assuming liaison assignments. Council was asked to provide direction on whether Section A should also include appointed council members. Ms. Courney then reviewed the proposed liaison assignment procedures from the Workshop meeting, including: Biennial review of liaison assignments following regular elections beginning in December 2026. Temporary continuation of predecessor assignments by newly elected or appointed council members until the next scheduled review. Assignment selection based on seniority while maintaining continuity and providing opportunities for rotation. Procedures for reassignment, removal of liaisons, and the defined role and responsibilities of council liaisons, including communication, observation, and maintaining neutrality when attending board, commission, and committee meetings. During discussion, Council requested the following revisions: Clarify language by referring separately to the "Mayor and Council" rather than collectively as "Council" where appropriate. Specify that the Mayor will make the first assignment selection, followed by council members in order of seniority. Clarify the selection process for board memberships and liaison assignments. Council discussed several approaches. It was decided that each member would choose one board member position and one board liaison position during each round until all positions have been accounted for to address the differing workloads associated with board memberships versus liaison roles. Recognize that certain board appointments are multi-year terms and should not be affected by the regular assignment selection process. Following discussion, Council directed Ms. Courney to revise the policy language to 6 reflect the requested changes and return the revised policy for review and formal adoption at a future meeting rather than approving it as amended during the current meeting. No action was taken. 8.Boards, Commissions and Committees: Assign City Council Liaisons to Boards, Commissions and Committee (Mayor Rodriguez) No action was taken. Public Hearings 9.Ordinance 26-S-015 - Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan - Future Land Use Map from Local Corridor to Industrial Hub on approximately 2.1 acres of land, known as 6615 FM 482, specifically known as Comal County Property Identification Numbers 428461 and 78974, City of Schertz, Comal County, Texas (B.James/L.Wood/D.Marquez) Mayor Rodriguez recognized Senior Planner Daisy Marquez who introduced Ordinance 26-S-015, proposing amendments to the comprehensive Land Use Plan - Future Land Use Map from Local Corridor to Industrial Hub on approximately 2.1 acres of land, known as 6615 FM 482, specifically known as Comal County Property Identification Numbers 428461 and 78974, City of Schertz, Comal County, Texas. Ms. Marquez provided a map outlining the subject property and adjacent land. She explained the restrictions under the Industrial Hub designation and stated that the proposed designation was inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, particularly the vision for Focus Area Five, which emphasizes preserving the area's historic character, supporting nearby residential uses, and encouraging retail and commercial destinations rather than industrial development. Ms. Marquez stated that seven (7) public notices were sent on May 21, 2026, with one (1) response in opposition received to date. A public notice was published in the San Antonio Express on June 17, 2026, and a sign was placed on the property by the applicant. The Planning and Zoning Commission met on June 3, 2026, and recommended denial with a unanimous vote. Staff recommended denial of Ordinance 26-S-015 citing inconsistency with the objective and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and does not correct mapping errors or deficiencies in the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Mayor Rodriguez recognized the applicant, Mr. Zahrooni, who stated that he is a military veteran and owner of a veteran-owned trucking business serving Schertz and the surrounding area. He explained that the property's location near railroad tracks, the Amazon facility, quarries, asphalt plants, construction yards, and the heavy truck traffic along FM 482 makes it more appropriate for industrial or business use than the current Local Corridor designation. Mr. Zahrooni stated that he intends to develop the property as a secured equipment storage yard with office space to support his business operations, improve equipment security, and accommodate future growth. He added that the project 7 would generate tax revenue, create jobs, and continue serving the community. He asked Council to approve the land use amendment and subsequent zoning change, noting that his request was supported by three residents. Mayor Rodriguez opened the Public Hearing at 7:18 p.m. The following individual came forward to speak: Salvador Flores, Bendicion Engineering, expressed support for the proposed land use change, stating that the property's location near the railroad tracks, Amazon facility, and surrounding industrial and commercial uses make it more suitable for business or industrial development than retail or residential uses. Mr. Flores added that Mr. Zahrooni intends to improve the property, establish his business in Schertz, and contribute to the community. Mayor Rodriguez closed the Public Hearing at 7:20 p.m. Mayor Rodriguez opened the floor to Council for discussion. Councilmembers questioned Ms. Marquez about nearby residences, public input, and the intent of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. She confirmed that three residents supported the request, while one opposed it. She explained that the Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2024 after extensive public engagement, identifies the area for future retail and commercial development rather than industrial uses. She clarified that the applicant is proposing an outdoor equipment storage yard with a small office building and that any future development would be required to meet all applicable City development standards. Mayor Rodriguez asked for a motion to approve Ordinance 26-S-015. Moved by Mayor Pro Tem Mark Davis, seconded by Councilmember Michelle Watson AYE:Mayor Pro Tem Mark Davis, Councilmember Michelle Watson, Councilmember Sarah Dietz, Councilmember Robert Sheridan NAY:Councilmember Paul Macaluso, Councilmember Ben Guerrero, Councilmember Robert Westbrook Passed 10.Ordinance 26-S-016 - Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to rezone approximately 2.1 acres of land from Pre-Development District (PRE) to General Business District-II (GB-2), known as 6615 FM 482, specifically known as Comal County Property Identification Numbers 428461 and 78974, City of Schertz, Comal County, Texas (B.James/L.Wood/D.Marquez) Mayor Rodriguez recognized Senior Planner Daisy Marquez who introduced Ordinance 26-S-016, a request to rezone approximately 2.1 acres at 6615 DM 482 from 8 Pre-Development District (PDD) to General Business 2 (GB-2) to allow an office/warehouse with outdoor storage. Ms. Marquez stated that seven (7) public notices were sent on May 21, 2026, with two (2) neutral responses received to date. A public notice was published in the San Antonio Express on June 17, 2026, and a sign was placed on the property by the applicant. The Planning and Zoning Commission met on June 3, 2026, and recommended denial with a unanimous vote due to concerns regarding compatibility, truck traffic, and nearby residential uses. However, following the City Council's approval of Ordinance 26-S-015 amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to Industrial Hub, staff revised its recommendation to approval because the proposed GB-2 zoning is consistent with the amended City's future land use designation. Mayor Rodriguez opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. No residents came forward to speak. Mayor Rodriguez closed the Public Hearing at 7:33 p.m. Mayor Rodriguez opened the floor for Council discussion. Councilmember Macaluso requested clarification that any current or future property owner would be required to develop the property in accordance with city regulations. Ms. Marquez confirmed that if approved, the property would be subject to platting, site plan review, and building permit requirements, and she provided uses permitted within the GB-2 zoning district. Mayor Rodriguez asked for a motion to approve Ordinance 26-S-016. Moved by Mayor Pro Tem Mark Davis, seconded by Councilmember Michelle Watson AYE:Councilmember Paul Macaluso, Mayor Pro Tem Mark Davis, Councilmember Michelle Watson, Councilmember Ben Guerrero, Councilmember Robert Westbrook, Councilmember Sarah Dietz, Councilmember Robert Sheridan Passed Workshop 11.Discussion on Council Coins (Mayor Rodriguez) Mayor Rodriguez reported that discussions have taken place regarding the City's Council challenge coins. He noted that the current inventory has been depleted, providing an opportunity for the Council to determine whether to reproduce the existing design or develop an updated version. Mayor Rodriguez recommended enhancing the challenge coin design to better reflect the City's identity and representation. Mayor Pro Tem Davis presented a sample of the current challenge coin for the Council's review. He expressed support for updating the design and suggested creating two distinct versions: one for the Mayor's Office and another for Councilmembers. He was opposed to creating different versions for each Councilmember. 9 Mayor Rodriguez indicated that he would like to create a separate design for the Mayor's challenge coin. Councilmember Westbrook recommended that the Council develop its own challenge coin design. Councilmember Watson volunteered to coordinate the collection of design ideas and feedback from Councilmembers.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM City Council Meeting:July 21, 2026 Department:Police Department Subject:Resolution 26-R-086 - Authorizing an Interlocal Agreement with the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District for the 2026-2027 School Year for School Resource Officer services (Police Chief James Lowery) BACKGROUND The City of Schertz Police Department has provided School Resource Officer services to SCUC ISD facilities for several years. Each year, the two entities renew an ILA to determine services and rates to be paid for the provided services. Texas Education Code requires an armed officer at each school and SCUC ISD has elected to partner with the City of Schertz Police Department to provide these services. The contract provides ten SROs and two sergeants for the unit for ten months out of the year. Of those numbers, two SROS and one sergeant will be compensated for 12 months of the year. Additionally, per the Community Safety Education Act, SROS also provides instruction on proper interaction techniques with peace officers. GOAL The goal of this resolution is to renew the SRO ILA to ensure it is in compliance with state law and continue to provide Schertz PD officers as SROs on campuses with the SCUC ISD. COMMUNITY BENEFIT The community will continue to benefit from this ILA by ensuring trained police officers are stationed at all SCUC ISD schools in the City of Schertz. This not only allows highly trained personnel to respond to any active threat, but is also available for on-campus crimes. The officers at these locations also engage in community policing practices with students, staff, and parents to ensure we have good community relations with all. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve Resolution 26-R-086 FISCAL IMPACT The ILA proposes assigning two sergeants and ten officers to fulfill the role of SROs. The City of Schertz is reimbursed at a prorated compensation rate equal to a 10/12 (83.33%) proportion for one sergeant and eight SROs, with one sergeant and two SROs reimbursed at a 12/12 (100%) rate. This compensation calculation cost for two sergeants and ten SROs to be paid to the City of Schertz is $1,454,093.83 which includes salary, benefits, and patrol vehicle costs. The City of Schertz's share of summer salaries for one sergeant and eight officers is $203,210.17.

SCUC ISD Board of Trustees approved a Memorandum of Understanding at their regular meeting on July 9, 2026.

SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-UNIVERSAL CITY ISD Board President Superintendent CITY OF SCHERTZ Authorized Representative Title Agenda No. 4. CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM City Council Meeting:July 21, 2026 Department:City Secretary Subject: Ordinance 26-M-029 - Amending Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure: Appointment Process for City Council Liaison Positions (Deputy City Secretary Sheree Courney) BACKGROUND The City Council held a Workshop Meeting on June 16, 2026, to discuss and codify the City Council Liaison selection process. On July 22, 2022, the City Council approved Ordinance 22-M-29, adopting Section 5.3, Appointment Procedures for City Council Liaison Positions, as part of the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure. On November 14, 2023, the City Council approved Ordinance 23-M-28, amending Article 2 – General Rules and Article 12 – Citizen Rights. However, the version of the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure attached to that ordinance inadvertently omitted Section 5.3. The omission remained when Ordinance 26-M-028 was adopted on February 17, 2026, adding Article 14 – Council Training and Travel Policy. As a result, the current Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure no longer include the provisions governing the appointment of Council Liaisons. Ordinance 26-M-029 restores those provisions by consolidating the Council Liaison requirements currently contained in the Code of Ethics (Ordinance 18-M-06) and the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure into a single Council Liaison Policy. The ordinance also incorporates the recommendations from the June 16, 2026, City Council Workshop and the revisions requested by the Mayor and City Council during the July 1, 2026, Regular Meeting. In addition, Section 6.1(b) is amended to require the designation of the responsible staff member presenting each agenda item, enhancing transparency and accountability in the agenda preparation process. GOAL Establish a single, comprehensive Council Liaison Policy that defines the functions, responsibilities, standards of conduct, and appointment procedures for Council Liaisons by consolidating the applicable provisions of the Code of Ethics and the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure. The policy also incorporates the City Council's recommendations from the June 16, 2026, Workshop and the revisions requested during the July 1, 2026, Regular Meeting. Additionally, the amendment to Section 6.1(b) improves transparency by requiring the accurate designation of the responsible staff member presenting each agenda item. COMMUNITY BENEFIT The Council Liaison Policy clearly defines the relationship between the City Council and the City's Boards, Commissions, and Committees by establishing liaison responsibilities, authority, limitations, standards of conduct, and communication expectations. Consolidating these provisions into a single policy promotes consistency, accountability, and transparency in the City's governance processes while providing residents with a clearer understanding of the Council's interaction with advisory boards and commissions. The amendment to Section 6.1(b) further enhances transparency by ensuring the responsible staff member presenting each agenda item is accurately identified. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve Ordinance 26-M-029 adopting the Council Liaison Policy, which consolidates the Council Liaison provisions currently contained in the Code of Ethics and the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure into a single policy; restores Section 5.3, Appointment Procedures for City Council Liaison Positions; incorporates the recommendations from the June 16, 2026, Workshop and the revisions requested at the July 1, 2026, Regular Meeting; and amends Section 6.1(b) to require the accurate designation of the responsible staff member presenting each agenda item. RECOMMENDATION Approve Ordinance 26-M-029 adopting the Council Liaison Policy, restoring Section 5.3, Appointment Procedures for City Council Liaison Positions, and amending Section 6.1(b), Order for Listing Items: Responsible Staff , to require the accurate designation of the responsible staff member presenting each agenda item. Attachments Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure Ordinance 26-M-029 CITY OF SCHERTZ CITY COUNCIL RULES OF CONDUCT AND PROCEDURE These Rules of Conduct and Procedure (these "Rules") are intended to provide an understandable and workable structure for City Council meetings.

Councilmembers are expected to remain on the dais during a Council meeting unless they have good cause to vacate. 8.3 Presiding Officer. The Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem or such other member of the Council who is serving as the presiding officer may participate in debate, subject only to such limitations of debate as are the rights and privileges of a Councilmember by reason of such Councilmember acting as the presiding officer.

If a Councilmember, while speaking, is interrupted as set forth herein, the Councilmember so interrupted should cease speaking until the question is determined. ARTICLE 9 MOTIONS AND MEETING PROCEDURES 9.1 Motions. A Councilmember, after he/she obtains the floor, or the Mayor may make a motion on the particular subject of discussion, or a procedural point as permitted. A "Second" to the motion, if required, must be made by a Councilmember who did not make the motion within a reasonable but brief time period. The Mayor may not "Second" a motion. A motion or a "Second" merely implies that the maker of the motion and the person who "Seconds" agree that the motion should come before the meeting and not that he/she necessarily favors the motion. Without a "Second", if required, the motion dies. 9.2 Debate. Debate, if pem1itted, must be limited to the merits of the issue under discussion as stated by the presiding officer. 11 9.3 Motion Procedures. There are twelve (12) types of motions in three (3) categories: Meeting Conduct Motions (4 types), Disposition Motions (7 types), and Main Motions (1 type)1. When any motion is pending, any motion listed above it on the chart below is in order; those below it is out of order. Motion May Interrupt Speaker Second Required Debatable Amendable Resolved by Chair No Vote Affirmative Vote by 4 Councilmembers 2/3 Vote A.Meeting Conduct Motions l. point of privilege yes no no no yes no no 2. point of procedure or order yes no no no yes no no 3. to appeal a ruling no yes yes no no yes no 4. to recess no yes yes yes no yes no B.Disposition Motions 5. to withdraw yes no no no yes no no 6. to postpone no yes yes yes no yes no 7. to refer no yes yes yes no yes no 8. to amend no yes yes yes no yes no 9. to limit or close debate or "call the question" no yes yes yes no no yes 12 10. to extend debate no yes yes yes no yes no 11. to count the vote no yes no no no••no no C.Main Motions 1 Sections 9.3 through 9.14 are included by permission of Donald A. Tortorice, The Modem Rules of Order, ABA Publishing, 2nd Edition. ** Mandatory if seconded; no vote required. ••• Unless a greater vote is required by the Charter or State Law 9.4 Point of Privilege . A point of privilege, sometimes called a point of personal privilege, is a communication from a Councilmember to the presiding officer, drawing urgent attention to a need for personal accommodation. For example, the point may relate to an inability to see or hear, a matter of comfort, a matter of requested convenience, or an overlooked right of privilege that should have been accorded to the Councilmember(s). In essence, it is a call to the presiding officer for the purpose of assuring a Councilmember's convenient and appropriate participation in the meeting. Because of its urgent nature, a point of privilege can interrupt a speaker. Because it is addressed to the attention of and action by the presiding officer, it cannot be debated or amended, and no vote is required. 9.5 Point of Procedure or Order. A point of procedure, sometimes called a point of order, is a question addressed to the presiding officer, no seconding is required, and either inquiring into the manner of conducting business or raising a question about the propriety of a particular procedure. It is simply an inquiry and is resolved by correction or clarification by the presiding officer. A point of procedure can interrupt a speaker. Because it is addressed to the attention of and action by the presiding officer, a second is not required, and it cannot be debated or amended, and no vote is taken. 12. to reconsider yes yes if original motion was debatable no no yes no 13. to rescind no yes yes yes no no yes 14. to take action no yes yes yes no yes***no 13 9.6 To Appeal a Ruling. Decisions or rulings of the presiding officer are final on questions of procedure, except that any ruling by the presiding officer's ruling can be appealed to a vote of the Council. Whenever a Councilmember questions the appropriateness or essential fairness of the presiding officer, that member can appeal the ruling to a vote of the meeting. If, however, a motion is out of order as a matter of law (not a proper subject of the meeting, improper notice given, etc.), the presiding officer's ruling cannot be appealed. A motion to appeal cannot interrupt a speaker. To prevent frivolous appeals, a second is required. The motion is subject to debate (which should be brief) and, by its nature, is not amendable. To overrule a procedural decision of the presiding officer, an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required. 9.7 To Recess. A motion to recess requests a brief interruption of the meeting's business, usually so that an ancillary matter can be addressed, or simply to provide a needed break. Unless stated in the motion, the period of recess is decided by the presiding officer. If necessary, a recess can extend the meeting from one day to another, subject to State law. The motion cannot interrupt a speaker, and a second is required. It is debatable, it can be amended, and an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required. 9.8 To Withdraw. Only the maker of the motion can make a motion to withdraw it. It is essentially a communication to the presiding officer that the maker is withdrawing his/her proposal. This is the maker's privilege; thus, it does not require a second. Because the withdrawal motion obviates discussion; it can interrupt a speaker. In addition, because another Councilmember later can make a similar motion, a withdrawal motion is not subject to debate, amendment, or vote. The presiding officer should simply state that the motion is withdrawn, and the meeting should proceed with a new treatment of the issue at hand or a new issue. 9.9 To Postpone or Extend. These motions may arise from a need for further information, a matter of convenience, or for any other reason that will enable the Council to deal with the issue more effectively during the same meeting or at a later time. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the motion itself, a postponed or extension motion can be renewed at a later appropriate time during the meeting or, if properly posted, at a later meeting. This motion cannot interrupt a speaker. It requires a second, it is debatable, and it is amendable (particularly as to postponement, timing), and an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required. 9.10 To Refer. A motion to refer is typically used to submit an issue to a committee, usually for study leading to a subsequent recommendation. Because it ordinarily disposes the motion for purposes of the current meeting, a motion to refer is subject to the same rules that apply to a main motion. (See Section 9.14). This motion cannot interrupt a speaker, and a second is required. It is debatable and amendable, and an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required. 9.11 To Amend. A motion to amend proposes a change in the wording of a motion then under consideration. When a motion to amend is pending and an amendment to the amendment is proposed, the presiding officer should focus discussion on the latest amendment, resolve that question, then proceed to the first amendment before continuing discussion on the main 14 motion. Votes on amendments are thus in reverse order of the sequence in which they are proposed. A motion to amend cannot interrupt a speaker. It requires a second, and it is debatable and amendable. An affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required for approval of the amendment. Note that State law may restrict amendments to proposals that are required to be set forth in the notice of the meeting. 9.12 To Limit or Close Debate or "Call the Question". Because the extent to which an issue is discussed rests primarily with discretion of the presiding officer, it is the presiding officer who carries the burden of ensuring that adequate time and discussion are given to differing points of view. A motion to limit or close debate is therefore an overruling of the presiding officer's determination. A motion to close debate is the same as a motion to "call the question". Because this motion affects the most fundamental right of any Councilmember, the right to speak one's views, it is the only procedural motion that requires an affirmative vote of two-thirds of participants voting. 9.13 To Count the Vote. A motion to count the vote should be limited to those circumstances where the convenient hearing of "yeas" and "nays" cannot clearly resolve the issue. It represents the right of a Councilmember to have a vote demonstrated by count. That count can be directed by the presiding officer either as a showing of hands or a standing of voting members while the vote is recorded. Upon completion of the count, the presiding officer announces the result-and final disposition of the issue voted upon. This motion cannot interrupt a speaker. It requires a second; it is neither debatable nor amendable; and, because of the importance of the matter, it should be considered mandatory; thus, no vote is required. 9.14 Motion to Reconsider. Allows a main motion to be brought back before the City Council for consideration. May be made only at the meeting at which the vote to be reconsidered was taken. It may be made by any member of City Council. Any City Council member may second it. It can be made while any other question is pending, even if another member has the floor. It requires a majority vote to pass. A motion may only be reconsidered twice. If the reconsideration is moved while another subject is before the City Council, it cannot interrupt the pending business, but, as soon as the pending business has been disposed of the motion has the preference over all other main motions and general business of the agenda. In such a case the Mayor does not state the question on the reconsideration until the immediately pending business is completed. 9.15 Motion to Rescind. The motion to rescind is a main motion without any privilege, may only be made when there is nothing else before the City Council and must be made at the same meeting at which the subject matter of the motion was considered, and it requires two thirds vote of the City Council members. It cannot be made if a motion to reconsider has been previously made. The motion to rescind can be applied to votes on all main motions with the following exceptions: votes cannot be rescinded after something has been done as a result of that vote that the City Council cannot undo; or, where a resignation has been acted upon, or one has been appointed to, or expelled from, a committee or office, and was present or was officially notified. In the case of expulsion, the only way to reverse the action afterwards is to restore the person to the committee or office, which requires the same preliminary steps and vote as is required for the original appointment. 15 9.16 To Take Action: Main Motions. Main motions state proposed policy or action on a substantive issue being considered by the Council. As such, the motion is an initial call to take particular action. Although lowest in precedence among all motions, main motions are clearly the most important: through their content, the business decisions of the Council are detem1ined. A main motion can be made only when a prior main motion has been disposed of. It cannot interrupt a speaker; a second is required; it is debatable and amendable; and an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required unless a greater vote is prescribed by the Charter or State law. 9.17 Effect of Abstentions. action on required Abstentions; Effect of non-required Abstentions. The following rules shall apply when a Council Member abstains from voting on an item: When the Council Member is Legally Obligated to Abstain When a Council Member is legally obligated to abstain from voting pursuant to Texas Local Government Code Chapter 171, a local ordinance or the City Charter then the Council Member shall leave the dais and exit City Council Chambers until such time as the debate and vote on the item has been concluded. The City Secretary shall record that the Council Member left the room and abstained from the vote in the official minutes and there shall be no other effect. When the Council Member has no Legal Obligation to Abstain from Voting. When a Council Member has no legal obligation to abstain from voting then an abstention shall be recorded in the minutes as an abstention and shall procedurally be treated as a “no” vote. ARTICLE 10 ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM 10.1 Warning. All persons other than a recognized speaker shall, at the request of the presiding officer, be silent. If, after receiving a warning from the presiding officer, a person persists in disturbing the meeting, the presiding officer may order the person to leave the meeting. The Chief of Police, or such member or members of the Police Department or other persons as the presiding officer may designate, shall be sergeant-at-arms of the Council meetings. If the person so requested does not leave the meeting, the presiding officer may order the sergeant-at-arms to remove such person. 10.2 Removal. Any designated sergeant-at-arms shall carry out all orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and decorum at the Council meeting. Upon instruction of the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at- arms to remove from the meeting any person who intentionally disturbs the proceedings of the Council (or successor provision of law). 10.3 Resisting Removal. Any person who resists removal by the sergeant-at-arms shall be charged with violating Section 42.05 (a) of the Texas Penal Code. 16 10.4 Motions to Enforce. Any Councilmember may move to require the presiding officer to enforce these Rules and the affirmative vote of a majority of the Councilmembers present and eligible to vote shall require the presiding officer to do so. 10.5 Adjournment. In the event that any meeting is willfully disturbed by a person or groups of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such meeting unfeasible and when order cannot be restored by the removal of the individuals who are creating the disturbance, the meeting may be adjourned and the remaining business considered at the next regular or a special meeting or, subject to State law, may be recessed to a set time and date. ARTICLE 11 CREATION OF COMMITTEES, BOARDS, AND COMMISSIONS 9.18[11.1] Standing Committees. The Council may create committees, boards and commissions to assist in the conduct of the operation of the City government with such duties as the Council may specify not inconsistent with the Charter, the Code of Ordinances, or State law.

Except where otherwise specifically provided by the Charter, the Mayor and the City Council shall appoint the members of the special committees. Any committee so created shall be given a "mission statement" directing its activities. Any special committee shall cease to exist upon the accomplishment of the special purpose for which it was created or when abolished by a majority vote of the Councilmembers present and entitled to vote.

City of Schertz ________________________ Ralph Rodriguez, Mayor ATTEST: ________________________ Sheila Edmondson, TRMC City Secretary Agenda No. 7. CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM City Council Meeting:July 21, 2026 Department:Fire Department Subject:Resolution 26-R-084 - Authorizing expenditures with HEAT Safety Equipment for Fire Department Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) (Fire Chief Greg Rodgers) BACKGROUND The department's current inventory of SCBA equipment has reached the end of its operational service life in order to remain compliant with NFPA and is no longer covered under the manufacturer's warranty. In addition, the upgrade of SCBA's allows for greater cleaning capabilities and greatly reducing firefighter exposure to cancer causing carcinogens. In addition, maintenance costs are significantly increasing while replacement parts are becoming more challenging, reducing the long-term reliability of the equipment. Replacing the department's SCBA inventory is necessary to maintain compliance with the new National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1850 standard and Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) regulations. HEAT Safety Equipment LLC is a TXShare purchasing cooperative vendor, of which Schertz is a member. Subchapter F, Chapter 271.102 of the Texas Local Government Code, “Cooperative Purchasing Program Participation,” provides that a local government may participate in a cooperative purchasing program with other local governments or a local cooperative organization established to provide local governments access to contracts with vendors for the purchase of materials, supplies, services or equipment. Procurement through a cooperative satisfies the requirement of the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods and services. GOAL Regulatory Compliance: Bringing the department's life-safety inventory into full alignment with current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) standards. Risk Mitigation: Replacing aging equipment to greatly reduce firefighter exposure to cancer causing carcinogens and eliminate the risk of mechanical failure in toxic or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) environments, while reducing rising maintenance costs. Operational Enhancement: Upgrading to modern technology that improves on-scene communication, air management efficiency, and Firefighter ergonomics during sustained operations. COMMUNITY BENEFIT Uninterrupted Emergency Response Capability: Firefighters cannot enter a burning structure, Uninterrupted Emergency Response Capability: Firefighters cannot enter a burning structure, hazardous materials scene, or toxic environment without a functioning SCBA. By replacing this fleet, the community is guaranteed that first responders are equipped to make immediate, life-saving entries during a crisis. Fiscal Responsibility & Cost Predictability: Continuing to maintain an aging equipment results in unpredictable and escalating repair costs, specialized technician fees, and expensive replacement parts. Investing in a new fleet under warranty stabilizes the city's fire department budget and protects taxpayer dollars from being spent on depreciating assets. In this warranty period, repairs and replacement are covered for 15 years. Retention of High-Quality First Responders: providing modern, compliant, and reliable life-safety equipment demonstrates the community's commitment to the health and long-term wellness of its public servants. This not only sends a message of support to personnel, but it also directly supports the recruitment and retention of our firefighters and supporting a safe and livable community. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the replacement procurement of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) equipment for the Fire Department. FISCAL IMPACT The total cost of the replacements is $638,208.18 of which $307,000 was budgeted in FY 2026 and the remainder was planned to be purchased in FY 2027. Due to potential savings with one purchase, staff proposes to purchase all the replacements in FY 2026. A budget amendment for the remaining amount will be brought to Council for approval in September. Staff is seeking a total not-to-exceed amount of $640,000. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the replacement procurement of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) equipment for the Fire Department.

The 24-inch East Live Oak to IH 35 Tank Dedicated Transmission Main Project is identified on the City's Water Master Plan and Capital Improvement Plan. The main will provide a redundant and dedicated feed between the two storage tanks to better supply water to the northern portion of Schertz and will act to reduce pressures in the existing distribution system currently tied directly to an existing 16-inch transmission main. That reduction of pressure is a benefit to customers served from that line and should significantly reduce main breaks and other maintenance issues on the system in that part of the City. This grant would fund up to $21 million for this water main project.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT Application for funding of a major water infrastructure project supports the City's strategic goal of the provision of an adequate water supply now and in the future, along with the objective of protection of the City's financial stability.
