Workshop
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: January 21, 2014
Department: City Manager
Subject: Workshop— Discussion and direction to
staff regarding honoring or
memorializing former Mayors of the City.
BACKGROUND
Goal
To open discussion regarding an appropriate manner to honor or memorialize former leaders at
the City to include possibly naming or renaming streets or facilities.
Community Benefit
Provide for the recognition of individuals who have made contributions to the City.
Summary of Recommended Action
At this point, only direction is being sought by staff concerning the possible recognition of Civic
leaders.
Schertz has been fortunate to have visionary municipal leaders that shaped the City in many
ways from helping establish the first library to expanding the City's boundaries. Below is a
listing of Mayors, the years they were in office, and streets or facilities named for some of them:
H. P. Thulemeyer 1958- 1960 - -Park located at Oak and Aero Streets.
Roy W Richard 1960- 1972FM 3009 named in his memory.
Jesse W Graham 1972 -1973
Robert C Bueker 1973 -1980
Jack M Stomackin, Sr 1980 -1982
Earl W Sawyer 1982 -1994
Harold D Baldwin 1994 - 2012 — Municipal Complex named in his memory.
50448595.1
City Council Memorandum
Page 2
While at the Texas Municipal League conference Mayor Carpenter, Councilmember Edwards,
and staff had discussion about ways to recognize the contributions of past leaders. Below is a
listing of former City leaders, some of their contributions, and a list of possible naming options:
Jesse W Graham was Mayor from 1972 -1973. He led the Council during the change
from General Law to Home Rule governance though he was the shortest - tenured Mayor.
One possible naming opportunity is to name either the current or future bridge between
the Schertz Ballpark and the Samuel Clemens High School parking lot in his memory.
Robert C Bueker was Mayor from 1973 -1980. He worked with property owners to push
the City Limits from Live Oak Road into what are now the Verde Enterprise Industrial
Park and the Tri- County Industrial Park. One option is to name one of the Industrial
Parks in his memory.
Jack M Stomackin, Sr was Mayor from 1980 -1982. He worked to expand the City
Limits North along I -35 to New Braunfels. One possible option is to name FM 1103
from the City Limits with Cibolo to I -35 in his memory.
Earl W Sawyer was Mayor from 1982 -1994. He was a major proponent for youth
sports. One possible naming option would be the Ballpark at the Hal Baldwin Complex.
Hal Baldwin was Mayor from 1994 -2012. Mayor Baldwin, the longest serving Mayor of
the City to date, had several initiatives he championed including the push for the City's
participation in the Austin -San Antonio Commuter Rail District (d/b /a Lone Star Rail
District). Council may want to consider discuss naming in his memory a future road
from the intersection of I -35 and Wiederstein Road to the future train station of the Lone
Star Rail.
One non -Mayor who was discussed was late Councilmember Tony Wilenchik who
served for eight years until his death in September 2009. Among his many contributions
while on the Council, he was an advocate for animals and actively involved with the
Schertz Homes for Pets organization. One possible option for renaming is the perimeter
road that runs through the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex which is currently named
Community Circle. He was an avid runner; one option is to name one of the trails —such
as along Schertz Parkway—or a future trail in his memory. Another option is naming the
new Animal Adoption Facility for him.
Lastly, should the Council decide it is interested in pursuing the naming of certain City
streets or facilities for someone, there are a few options to consider:
• Rename the street —This involves changing the name of an existing street. In a
much publicized debate, in 2011 San Antonio renamed Durango Boulevard as
Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard. This road is also honorary named for late U.S.
District Judge H. F. "Hippo" Garcia.
City Council Memorandum
Page 3
Honorary Naming of an existing public streetIn a honorary naming, the street
retains its official name and suitable sign are installed along the route denoting the
honorary naming. This is what Universal City has done on Universal City
Boulevard, providing an honorary name, "Heroes Boulevard," while maintaining
the existing name; San Antonio applied an honorary name to Commerce Street,
designating it as "Rosa Parks Memorial Way."
• Buildings and other facilities can also be named or honorary named.
FISCAL IMPACT
The costs associated with renaming streets and facilities will vary by project and will be
provided once project scope is better defined.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is to discuss and provide direction to staff on how to proceed.
