SECTION 3: The City Council hereby directs and authorizes the City Manager,
staff, agents, and retained attorneys to institute and prosecute to conclusion all necessary
proceedings to condemn the property interests described above herein and to acquire all

agents, and attorneys of the City of Schertz for the acquisition of such property are

or provisions or regulation contained herein shall become inoperative or fail by reason of
any unconstitutionality or invalidity of any other portion hereof and all provisions of this
Resolution are declared to be severable for that purpose.
