Subject: Presentation/discussion and
direction Regarding 54-22(b-3)
Any sign, notice, pole, post,
basketball goal, And any other
obstructions placed Or painted
upon any sidewalk, street, or in
any public right-of-way within the
corporate limits of the City.
________________________________________________________________________
Background
This issue of basketball goals in the street and on sidewalks was discussed with City
Council on June11, 2013. In order to put this issue into the full context, there are three
separate issues that must be considered. The first relates to safety, the second relates to
nuisance, and the third relates to citizen enjoyment of their neighborhoods. Staff
discussed the Nuisance Ordinance Section 54-22 as it relates to any sign, notice, pole,
post, basketball goal, and any other obstruction placed or painted upon any sidewalk,
street or in any public right-of-way within the corporate limits of the City.
Council provided their comments and expressed concerns regarding the placement of
basketball goals in the streets. They discussed issues of safety, rights of property owners,
and the right of enjoyment of their neighborhoods. Council agreed this should not be
included in the Nuisance Ordinance. Council referred this item to the Traffic Safety
Advisory Commission (TSAC) for review, and to then bring their recommendations back
to Council. Staff presented the issue to the Transportation Safety Advisory Committee
(TSAC) on August 1, 2013. TSAC members strongly felt that basketball goals should not
be allowed in the street or to obstruct sidewalks.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: September 17, 2013
Department: Human Resources
Subject:
Resolution No. 13-R-76
? Consideration
and/or action approving a Resolution
amending the City of Schertz Employee
health benefits plan timeframe from a
calendar year to a fiscal year.
Resolution No. 13-R-77
? Consideration
and/or action approving a Resolution
adopting amendments to the City?s Health
Insurance benefits for City employees.
BACKGROUND
The City of Schertz provides medical, dental, vision, and various other benefits to City
employees. The City of Schertz budgeted a 5% increase on the sum of these benefits for
the 2014 plan year.
City staff researched the affordability of employees including their dependents on the
City?s health insurance. In speaking to employees, many are not able to include their
dependents on the health insurance because of the high cost. At this time, only 14.8% of
all employees on the health insurance include their dependents. Only 4.5% of employees
have adopted the family coverage option.
Furthermore, the average employee merit increase this year is 2% = $861/year or $33.14
per pay period. Therefore, the increased costs to dependent care will absorb at least 63%
of the average paycheck.
City staff requested the City?s insurance carrier (Humana) provide alternative health plan
options, including High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP?s) to compare and contrast with
the City?s current health plans and their costs.
Staff also researched the efficacy of keeping the existing health insurance plans on a
calendar year as opposed to a fiscal year. For budgetary purposes and other reasons, staff
is recommending changing the City?s health insurance plan year from a calendar plan
year to a fiscal plan year beginning 10/1/2014 to match the budget cycle.
City Council Memorandum
2
Page
A detailed summary of plan renewal rate changes to the City?s health insurance will be
presented to City Council as well as recommendations from staff regarding insurance
plan design changes and premium refunds. All recommended changes stay within the
2013-2014 approved budget for employee health insurance benefits.
GOALS
These goals are based on direction from City Council:
1.To have a smart budgeting process
2.To have a plan for managing health care over the long-term future
3.To provide affordable health care for employees and their dependents
COMMUNITY BENEFITS
The recommendations benefit the community by providing a plan for slowing or stalling
the cost of providing employee healthcare to City employees. The recommendations also
provide a way to empower employees to have more control over their own health care.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Proposed budget for health insurance increases is 5% for a total of $1,814,722
The proposed changes to the health insurance plans have no financial impact as the
changes stay within the recommended budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommend approval of Resolution No. 13-R-76 adopting amendments to the City?s
Health Insurance benefits for City employees.
Recommend approval of Resolution No. 13-R-77 amending the health benefits plan
timeframe from a calendar year to a fiscal year.

A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SCHERTZ, TEXAS ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY?S
HEALTH INSURANCE BENFITS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES, AND
OTHER MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
WHEREAS, the City staff of the City of Schertz (the ?City?) has recommended certain
insurance renewals to the City?s Medical and Dental Plans
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
THAT:
Section 1.The City Council hereby approves the following changes to the City?s
Medical, Dental, and Vision Plans:
MEDICAL
The following table shows the cost changes on the Medical PPO Plan. The increase to the City?s
medical plan is 5%, which is a monthly increase of $22.67 per employee and an approximate
$82,000 increase to the City?s medical plan.
CurrentCalendar Year Employee Cost Employee Cost
Monthly2014 Monthly Increase Per Increase Per

Employee &
Family $1,289.00$1,353.46$64.46$29.75
Recommended changes to the medical plan:
1.Remove the HMO and current consumer-driven plan, to which only 5% of all employees
electing medical benefits belong.
2.Add a cost-effective, High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with an attached Health
Savings Account (HSA).
3.Employees who move from the Medical PPO to the HDHP would receive the premium
difference for the Employee Only (EO) option and have the choice of applying that
monetary value to a Health Savings Account (HSA) or to their dependent premium,
further reducing their out-of-pocket expenses.

Employee &
Family $1,353.46$1,078.20-$3,303.12$127.04
4.The City received an annual premium refund per the Affordable Care Act in the amount
of $14,064. $3,102 will be refunded to 70 different City employees and $10,962 will be
refunded to the City. Staff recommends the City?s portion of $10,962 be split among
employees with dependents who choose the HDHP to subsidize employee dependent
coverage.
5.Employees who elect the HDHP will have to move to the HSA compliant option under
the City?s current medical bridge plan per IRS rules. Under this plan, the hospitalization
benefit would increase to $1,000 to assist with catastrophic events but the plan would not
include an outpatient surgery benefit that currently exists in the regular medical bridge
plan. The increase in the hospitalization benefit under for the HSA compliant option
would increase $0.40/month per employee, which would be a annual increase of $1,500.
DENTAL
The Traditional PPO Dental did not receive an increase for the 2014 plan year.
Recommended changes to the dental plan:
1.Remove the basic HMO plan and replace it with a second PPO option, which will provide
a higher level of coverage (100/80/0) and a more expansive network than the existing
HMO plan, but at a comparable cost to the existing HMO plan. This change would equate
to a $1.21 monthly increase per employee, which is a $4,385 annual increase. This plan
will become the City?s default dental plan and will only pay up to the 12.09/month per
employee for either dental plan. Therefore, employees who cover their dependents and
remain on the Traditional PPO will receive a $1.21/month reduction in their dependent
premiums.

report by Standards & Poor?s where the City had been upgraded to AA/Positive outlook.

Resolution to issue Certificates of Obligation to finance the costs of expanding the utility
system (particularly the sewer system) in South Schertz and for the purchase of a Public

Obligations on September 10, 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT: The $3,000,000 for the Utility System Expansion will be on a 20 year
schedule and will be paid by Utility System Net Revenues (no taxes will be used) and the
$2,000,000 Public Works Building will be paid on a 10 year or less schedule with payments
of approximately $270,000 per year. Since a prior $270,000 commitment is being
extinguished, there is no new money being earmarked for this facility.
Mr. McLiney stated that prospective bidders provided interest rate bids today by noon, and
that First Southwest came as the low bidder with a bid of 3.13% fixed income rate.

The following was read into record:
RESOLUTION NO. 13-R-69
A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
AUTHORIZING AN OFFICIAL COAT OF ARMS, AND OTHER MATTERS IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
Mayor Carpenter recognized Executive Director of Development Services, Brian James who
introduced this item stating the Schertz Historical Preservation Commission worked to
develop a draft Coat of Arms that was presented previously to the City. Staff subsequently
conducted a web survey to gauge public opinion with regard to the Coat of Arms. The results
were presented to City Council on June 11, 2013. The results indicated that a majority of the
approximately 100 respondents like the Coat of Arms and did not feel any elements needed
to be added or eliminated. The most comment suggestion for changes seemed to be that it
was ?too busy? and that items should be eliminated, but there was not an overwhelming
consensus as to what to eliminate.
As such staff and the Commission feel the Coat of Arms should be adopted as proposed and
utilized for ceremonial purposes as the City?s Coat of Arms. Staff recommends approval of
this Resolution adopting the Coat of Arms. Mr. James and Chair of the Historical
Preservation Committee Dean Weirtz addressed Council questions.
Mayor and Council thanked Mr. Weirtz and the Committee for their work on the project.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Scagliola, who moved, seconded by
Councilmember Edwards, to approve Resolution No. 13-R-69. The vote was unanimous with
Mayor Pro-Tem Fowler, Councilmembers Scagliola, Antuna, Edwards, and Verinder voting
yes and no one voting no. Motion Carried.
Mayor Carpenter stated that items 2 & 3 have been requested to be pulled from the consent agenda
and considered separately.

GUADALUPE COUNTY, TEXAS GENERALLY LOCATED 2,800 FEET SOUTH OF
THE INTERSECTION OF THE IH 35 FRONTAGE ROAD AND ECKHARDT
ROAD.; AND OTHER MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Senior Planner Lesa Wood who introduced this item stating that
action requested of Council is to approve a rezone request of approximately 195 acres of land
generally located 2,800 feet south of the intersection of the IH 35 frontage Road and
Eckhardt Road. Currently, the property is zoned Predevelopment (PRE) and General
Business (GB). The subject property is currently undeveloped and proposed as the Parklands
Subdivision. The proposed density is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Plan
designation use of Single Family Residential which provides for traditional neighborhood
development. The proposed zoning allows for three (3) different minimum lot sizes; 6,000
square feet, 7,200 square feet, and 8,400 square feet as shown on the master general
development plan. The master general development plan also provides for a potential Comal
ISD school site and a public park. The proposed PDD also provides some specific
development standards. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 13-S-36 final reading
regarding the zoning request based on the compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan.
Executive Director of Development Brian James and Senior Planner Lesa Wood addressed
Mayor Pro-Tem Fowler?s question regarding the differences between residences having a
sprinkler system where there is a 5 foot setback versus no sprinkler system with residences
that have a 10 foot setback.City Attorney Katherine Tapley asked for the discussion to
clarify that the type of sprinkler system at issue was in fact a structure sprinkler system, not a
lawn sprinkler system. Executive Director of Development Brian James explained the City
typically has had the 10 foot setbacks in the past, but with the developer offering a mixed
size assortment of lots, the homes with the 5 foot setbacks could satisfy the fire departments
concerns by requiring those residences to each have a sprinkler system. Councilmember
Antuna asked about the benefit of a firewall, but this would be more problematic because of
people wanting windows and then the fire and smoke could escape outside and toward the
roof. Right now all the houses have the option of having sprinkler systems, but it is not
mandatory. Councilmember Scagliola stated that while he liked the linear curve of the
streets and green space design of the project, he still thinks the number of homes (505) is too
tight, there is no amenity center close by, and no meeting facility for the HOA. He has
concerns regarding the power lines in the greenbelt area of the planned park-golf space area,
street flow issues, minimum frontage, minimum pervious coverage requirements, and the
school site. He asked how many homes would be built if the site did not become a school.
The answer was forty two 70 x 120 foot lots.He again expressed his concern in allowing
density to grow. The reason we did away with R5, R6, & R7?s was to reduce density;
therefore, allowing one half of all the homes in a subdivision to be on the smallest minimum
allowed lots is not achieving this goal.
Councilmember Edwards reminded everyone that schools can and are used as community
meeting facilities and his only concern is the disc golf area located by the utility power lines.
He feels this is a viable plan to go forward with. Councilmember Scagliola stated we are
making quite a few assumptions that may or may not come to pass. He expressed concern
about where our general business (GB) sector was. Mr. James stated that probably most of
the GB would be concentrated along the IH 35 area & Eckhardt Road areas rather than
09-10-2013 Minutes
Page- 7 -
spread out along Eckhardt Road. Councilmember Scagliola was concerned about doing
away with GB in this manner and that this situation may set precedence for others in the
future. City Attorney Katherine Tapley clarified for Council that although this plan does set
an example, it does not create a future requirement that would need to be followed on the
next property plan presented. Each individual property should be looked at on a case by case
basis. Executive Director of Development Brian James reminded everyone that in typical
straight gridded linear neighborhoods, vehicular speed is always an issue; we also have never
before had a developer who communicated with the school district to discuss a reserved area
for a future school. This development also offers the hike & bike trail & buffer zone. These
things do come with a tradeoff with the developer.
Councilmember Antuna stated that Comal County is preparing to present a $250 million
bond package to their voters. Does the Developer know that? Mr. David Rittenhouse,
Denton Communities, Manager for the Project and who represents the landowner, stated
they did meet with the school district multiple times and the district is looking for something
on IH-35, but to satisfy the PDD the developer was required to offer the site to have
something as a backup.
Councilmember Verinder asked if the Council voted this down, what can the Developer do. r
Executive Director of Development Brian James said the Developer generally comes in after
that with simply straight zoning. As long as it meets minimum requirements it has to be
approved. Councilmember Verinder thinks the product before us now is good and offers a
good variety.
Mayor Carpenter stated this is not about frontage; it is about lot size and the number of lots.
There is a minimum of 25% space in this development. If a school is not built and the HOA
does buy the reserved school site, the open space would increase to 32%. It is the overall
view of density that is critical to consider. He further stated we should give credit to the
Planning and Zoning Commission who voted to send this plan forward and believes it is the
right decision for the City. He himself prefers the 10 foot setbacks but is intrigued with the 5
foot setbacks with sprinkler systems as another option for buyers. The buyer will ultimately
make that decision though. He encouraged Council to accept this proposal.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro-Tem Fowler who asked if they could postpone this
item to allow the developer to address their concerns.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro-Tem Fowler, who moved, seconded by
The vote was 2-3, with Mayor
Councilmember Scagliola, to postpone this item for one week.

Mayor Carpenter recognized Senior Planner Lesa Wood who introduced this item stating that
Staff recommends approval and is available for questions. Councilmember Scagliola stated
the density is better than the first presentation of this plan, he liked the curved linear streets,
but he is worried about the cul-de-sacs, and the 45 foot lots. Councilmember Edwards
requested staff go over the particular vested rights of the property prior to annexation. Senior
Planner Lisa Wood stated that prior to annexation we couldn?t govern any lot sizes. City
Attorney Katherine Tapley clarified that the prior owner filed a master plan with the City that
established 547 lots (4.48 lots per acre) with 12.64 acres of open space. The lot sizes were
45 feet. The filing of this master plan allows for the property to develop under this design.

Currently, these school zones are active from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and
2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The revised lunch schedule is divided into four separate periods
ranging from 10:35 a.m. to 2:10 p.m. To accommodate the revised lunch schedule and the
early and late arrivals of students during open campus lunch, these school speed zones need
to be active Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Staff recommends approval to amend Section 86-118, Maximum limits in school zones, of
the Code of Ordinances to add a note referencing the different school zone time and
modifying the associated table to designate the school zones for:
Aero Avenue from Schertz Parkway to 215 feet east of Schertz Parkway, (while this
has been posted as a school zone it was not listed in the chart)
for Mitchell from Schertz Parkway to 215 feet east of Schertz Parkway, (while this
has been posted as a school zone it was not listed in the chart)
for Elbel Road from Schertz Parkway to 150 feet east of the drainage ditch,
for Westchester from Elbel Road to 776 feet south of Elbel Road,
for Schertz Parkway from 700 feet south of Elbel Road to 150 feet north of Buffalo
Drive,
and to eliminate specific reference to a school zone for Schertz Parkway from Aero
Street to 150 feet north of Buffalo Drive as it is duplicative of a portion of the above
school zone to note the school zone applies between of 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

AUTHORIZING A DEFINITIVE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH SCHERTZ-
CIBOLO-UNIVERSAL CITY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT REGARDING A
$1,650,000.00 CONTRIBUTION BY SCUCISD TO THE CITY FOR THE

FACILITY IN ORDER FOR THE FACILITY TO BE SUITABLE FOR USE BY
SCUCISD?S SWIM TEAMS, AND OTHER MATTERS IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH
Mayor Carpenter recognized Executive Director of Development Brian James who
introduced this item stating this item was brought to the Council a few weeks ago. Mr.
James stated that the citizens of Schertz approved a bond measure to build a competition
quality pool for the City. In November 2010, residents of Schertz approved general
obligation bonds in the amount of $6,625,000. Part of the $6,625,000 went to moving and
building a new Playscape, part of the remaining amount is being used for design work for the
architect, for various soil and control testings, and finish out items. Part of the $6,625,000
will be set aside for contingencies. Actual construction dollars left is about $5.5M to build
some type of competition quality type pool. Frankly, that maybe a fairly basic competition
quality pool without some of the additional items for or accoutrement or amenities that one
might hope for with that. One group has said that they would be interested in using the pool
was the School District. Right now the students currently go to Judson ISD to practice and
pay a very nominal fee because Judson has to operate it anyway. The idea is that now the
SCUCISD students could use a facility now in Schertz and so began the discussions.
In an attempt to maximize the benefit to our residents, discussions began with SCUCISD
about partnering on the facility. Given that SCUCISD does not currently have a pool facility,
the Schertz Natatorium could be used by their high school swim teams.
Prior to incurring additional costs associated with design, staff is seeking Council approval of
a resolution authorizing the City to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with SCUCISD. The
resolution indicates SCUCISD would contribute $1,650,000 to the project in order for the
facility to be suitable for SCUCISD use. SCUCISD in exchange would be given a fifteen
year rent free lease. City Staff will continue to work with SCUCISD to finalize specific terms
of the lease and identify the specific improvements to be made to the facility. The definitive
09-10-2013 Minutes
Page- 12 -
agreement must be brought back to City Council for approval once these terms have been
finalized.
FISCAL IMPACT:
with approval of this Resolution, the City can anticipate an additional
$1,650,000 for the natatorium project, provided specific terms can be agreed upon. The City
would be obligated per those terms to provide improvements to the facility so as to ensure the
facility is suitable for use by the SCUCISD and provide the SCUCISD with 15 years use of
the facility rent free. As the project proceeds and construction and operating costs are refined,
staff may recommend reserving a portion of these funds to cover operating and maintenance
costs during that term. Recommend approval.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Scagliola who stated he recently attended a
meeting with the School District, had all his questions answered and that we need to have a
basic agreement to get to a starting point. Councilmember Edwards stated the school district
really wants to help the City and that the pool should offer something that can be used by all
residents. Mayor Carpenter agreed that we all shared the same goals and concerns and
should move forward.

Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro-Tem Fowler who met with Councilmember
Edwards and Henry Gutierrez and his staff to discuss a non-exclusive versus exclusive
franchise agreements. An exclusive contract involves several different types of
franchises and if there needs to be a change of one of the franchises it pretty much
nullifies the contract and you have to renegotiate it. Bexar Waste indicated it is not a
benefit to them to have that type of contract nor does it benefit the City and that they will
stay with the nonexclusive contract, which will be of benefit to both partners.

Agenda No. 2
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: September 17, 2013
Department: Police
Subject:Ordinance No. 13-D-41 ?
Prohibiting the use of Engine Brakes
(Final Reading)
BACKGROUND
Goal
To establish a prohibition on the use of engine brakes along the streets and
highways adjacent to the residential areas of the city except on the interstate
highway or in emergency situations.
Community Benefit
The use of engine brakes creates a disturbing, unreasonable and offensive noise
when it occurs in or adjacent to residential areas. This ordinance would prohibit
the use of engine brakes through appropriate signage and enforcement activities
when needed. The ordinance would allow for the use of engine brakes upon the
interstate or anywhere in an emergency situation.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of September 10, 2013.
Summary of Recommended Action
Staff recommends that Council approve Ordinance 13-D-41 to prohibit the use of
engine brakes upon the highways and streets within the city limits, except upon
the interstate or in an emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact would be in the creation and placement of signs notifying
motorists of the passage of this section. It is believed that less than a dozen signs
should provide appropriate notice. At approximately $157 per sign, 10 signs
would be under $1600.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation is to approve Ordinance 13-D-41 on final reading.

Agenda No. 3
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: September 17, 2013
Department: Public Affairs
Subject:Resolution No. 13-R-80 - Graphic
Design Services Agreement
BACKGROUND
As part of the FY 2013-14 budget preparations, staff conducted a review of Schertz
Magazine operations including design and printing. Last week, Council approved a new
agreement for printing.
Public Affairs staff reviewed five design firms, their experience producing monthly
publications, advertising design, general graphic design, design style, time in business,
proximity to the City, and price. Staff also considered the firm?s familiarity with the
community as well as past project performance for the City. Submitted bids for the
Magazine ranged from $4,400 to $8,500 per month.
Souzamaphone Marketing, LLC, has an established relationship with the City, is familiar
with our operations and expectations, is experienced with monthly publications, advertising
design, and graphic design and provides these services at a fair price. Additionally, Schertz
Magazine has won international, national, and state awards for the City under her leadership.
Staff recommends the City continue its relationship with Souzamaphone Marketing, LLC.
Alexis Souza, d/b/a Souzamaphone Marketing, LLC, has been providing Graphic Design
Services to the Public Affairs Department and other City Departments since 2008. The
firm?s primary services are to design the City?s 48-page Schertz Magazine. The firm also
provides other graphic design services for Public Affairs and other City Departments to
ensure a continuity of design across multiple platforms.
If approved, this annual agreement (October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014) with four
one year automatic renewals with Souzamaphone Marketing, LLC, for design services for the
City will include the following:
Design of monthly Schertz Magazine at $160.63 per page ($7,710 per month or
$92,523 annually for 48 pages) with an additional page cost of $150 per page,
Other graphic design services at a rate of $95 per hour, and
A 45-day opt-out period for either party.
The City Attorney determined in May 2010 that the graphic design services falls within the
definition of personal services exception under Local Government Code, Chapter 252, and is
exempt from the competitive bidding requirements.
Goal
To provide for the design of Schertz Magazine and other work at a fair price and quality
design.
Community Benefit
Schertz residents and businesses will continue to receive their monthly Schertz Magazine.
Summary
Recommended action is to authorize an agreement with Souzamaphone Marketing, LLC, for
Schertz Magazine and other design services for FY 2013-14 with additional four one-year
options at an estimated annual cost of $92,523 with a not to exceed amount of $105,000 for
the magazine or $126,500 for all funds and departments. While staff is not planning on
adding pages beyond the regular 48 pages, the budget allows for additional pages when
needed for special editions or special events. Likewise, funds are allocated in other
departments for their design needs.

-
Authorizing a Personal Services
Agreement with Charmain Sanchez
for services related to marketing and
developing certain City Property for
the purpose of the installation and
operation of wireless
communications equipment and
systems and the continued
management of the City?s
telecommunications tenants
____________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The City staff determined that the City requires the services of a skilled consultant relating to the
marketing and managing of City real estate for telecommunications development. On August 5, 2008 the
City passed and adopted Resolution No 08-R-42 authorizing the City Manager to execute a Personal
Services Agreement with Charmain Sanchez, an individual uniquely qualified to provide such services for
the City. The Agreement with Ms. Sanchez was for a five (5) year period, and if not renewed, expires on
September 30, 2013. Section II paragraph 2.02 states that the City and the Consultant may agree to
further renewals.
JUSTIFICATION
The attached spreadsheet shows the revenues generated from the leases and lease amendments negotiated
by Ms. Sanchez over the twenty (20) year term of the agreements. In the past five years, these
agreements have paid out $909,387.81. A third of this revenue is attributed to fees and requests by
Tenants to change equipment needed to support new technology and improve service. These
modification requests will continue as the telecom industry evolves and offers via wireless equipment
further increasing revenues. Ms. Sanchez is uniquely qualified in managing these requests, establishing
pricing for equipment, amending the Agreements resulting in increasing rent to the City. The City
expects more requests for telecommunication sites as new development continues.

BACKGROUND
In pursuant of the development of Southern Schertz and to meet current and future waste
water demands, CCMA needs to begin the process of purchasing the land for the Southern

Negotiations have begun between a tri-party agreement with CCMA, Cibolo and Schertz to

Creek and/or reuse water programs. CCMA has selected three different sites for the treatment
plant and wants to begin negotiations for the preferred site for the discharge point into the
Cibolo Creek, maintaining the best quality nutrients of the creek.
Once CCMA has completed land negotiations, the City will provide funding up to $2 million
dollars. The City will be reimbursed by CCMA once the revenue bonds have been sold or
full reimbursement terms as described in Section 2 of the Interlocal Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
To assist the Authority in its efforts to acquire the Plant Site, the City desires to advance, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, up to Two Million and No/100 Dollars

($2,000,000.00) to the Authority for use by the Authority to purchase the Plant Site and to

BACKGROUND
Goal
The City has a need for additional property to be utilized for various municipal
purposes, which may include, but would not be limited to, municipal offices,
50677868.1
public works facilities, fleet repair, building maintenance, water and wastewater
related services, street maintenance, engineering, parks, and related services.
In the past ten years, the Public Works Department has doubled in size to meet the
needs of the City?s growing population. The Public Works Department moved
into Building #1 in 1990. Building #2 was planned and constructed in 2007.
Upon completion of Building #2 the layout was designed to house
Water/Wastewater, Drainage, and Administration. Building #1 was planned to
house Streets and Fleet.
The Purchasing Department moved into Building #1 in 2009. Building
Maintenance moved to Building #2 in 2013. The Departments currently housed
in Building #1 are: Fleet, Sign Shop, Parks, and Purchasing. Building #2 houses
Water/Wastewater, Streets, Drainage, Building Maintenance, Administration, and
Engineering.
Both buildings and shops located on Commercial Place are filled to capacity and
there are two approved positions that still need filling; the City Engineer and
Stormwater Manager. Original plans were to remodel the current Public Works
Building #2, but it was found that this remodel would result in less shop space and
even more cramped conditions. There is little or no room left for the inevitable
growth.
The Public Works Yard located at 1120 FM 1518 is used to store equipment and
materials. The Yard and shops are dilapidated, an eyesore, and are located in the
floodway.
City Staff was made aware that the properties located on 11 and 27 Commercial
Place along with a lot on Windy Meadows Drive were to become available due to
the landowner retiring and his interest in selling the properties. Management and
Staff met with the landowner, ordered appraisals, toured the properties, and
subsequently were able to agree on a sale price that was based on the appraisals
and tax assessor information.
With the purchase of the properties on Commercial Place and Windy Meadows,
the future needs of the Public Works Department as well as other City
Departments would be met. The Yard would also be relocated to Commercial
Place and the property could become much needed parking space for Pickrell
Park.
The advantages of the property purchase are:
Space for long-term growth as well as meeting current needs
Location that takes advantage of existing facilities
Cost effective
50677868.1
The City has entered into an earnest money Purchase and Sale Agreement
effective as of June 25, 2013 (the ?Agreement?) and a First Amendment to
Purchase and Sale Agreement (the ?First Amendment?) regarding the purchase of
certain real property located on Commercial Place and Windy Meadows Drive, as
well as for the purchase of certain related improvements and personal property
(collectively, the ?Property?) from Michael F. Biry and Jennifer S. Biry (the
?Sellers?).
The ?Inspection Period? under the Agreement and First Amendment terminates
on September 23, 2013. Proceeding to closing following the end of the Inspection
Period requires City Council approval and requires the City to provide the Sellers
with a ?Continuation Notice? stating that City Council has approved the purchase
and that the City plans to proceed to closing.
The Phase I Environmental Study, Property Condition Assessment, and Survey
have been completed. City Staff has reviewed the results of the study and
assessment and has found that the properties are in environmental compliance and
buildings are in good condition for purchase. Minor repairs have been agreed
upon and will be complete by the current owner prior to closing. Other items
have been deducted from the sale price and will be complete after closing in
house by the Public Works and Building Maintenance Departments.
Community Benefit
The property will provide the City with adequate space for long-term growth and
a location to house municipal services, which may include, but would not be
limited to, municipal offices, public works facilities, fleet repair, building
maintenance, water and wastewater related services, and street maintenance
related services.
Summary of Recommended Action
The City staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 13-R-
78, thereby approving the purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms
of the Agreement and the Amendment, approving and ratifying the Agreement
and the Amendment, and further authorizing the City Manager to execute and
deliver a Continuation Notice, as required under the Agreement and the
Amendment as a condition to proceeding to closing on the purchase of the
Property.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total purchase price for all of the Property is $1,733,856.00.
Further, a $7,000 security deposit for a lease on a portion of the property that is expected to
be continued month-to-month post-closing will be transferred to the City at closing. Upon
50677868.1
termination of the lease, all or a portion of the security deposit will need to be refunded by
the City to the tenant under the lease.
