EXHIBIT NO. 1
other assessed property owners (according to Schedule I)
contribute at the time of the installation. If the
Developer can obtain the pro rata shares from all the
assessed property owners at the time of installation~ the
Developer's cost would be reduced to his pro rata share
of the total cost. The Developer may recover the differ-
ence between the total cost of the utilities, excluding
- the City's cost. and the sum of his pro rata costs and
any other properties' pro rata costs paid at the time
of installation. (See paragraph 4).
2. It shall be the Developer's obligation to acquire right-
of-way needed to extend utility lines from their present
terminus or nearest location to Developer's property,
the cost of which shall be reimbursable as set forth above.
The location, width and cost of such right-of-way, shall
be subject to the approval of the CITY. Should the Develo-
per be unable to acquire the needed right-of-way, the CITY
may, at its option,-assist in acquiring same,

graph B-4, the money will be refunded to the Developer,
up to the amount of overpayment. Anything paid in excess
of that shall be retained by the City. Any cost not re-
covered by the developer within five (5) years will be
forfeited and no further reimbursement will be allowed,
The Gity will continue to collect the pro rata shares
and use the funds to offset bookkeeping costs and main-
..
tenance of the utilities.
EXAMPLE: The properties to be served require the capacity
of 8" sewer and water 1 ines. The City requires the
additional capacity of 12" sewer and water 1 ines to
serve future extensions:
DEVELOPER'S COST
8" Water Line 1,320 feet x $4.00 = $ 5.280
8" Sewer Line 1.320 feet x $8.00 = 10,560
TOTAL $15,840
CITY I S SHARE
Difference between 8" and 12" water
1,320 feet x $3.00 = $ 3,960
Difference between 8" and 12" Sewer

TOTAL $ 7.920

Assuming six participating parcels have a pro rata share of
the total cost of $2,640 each (according to Schedule I), the
Developer would receive $13.200 (15,840 - 2.640) back as
each parcel pays its $2,640 share.

SCHEDULE 1
CALCULATING THE PRO RATA CHARGES
The pro rata charge for each property where utilities are to become
available by installation of a'utility extension ~ill be based on a point system
according to the length of frontage, acreage, and distance from the origin of
the extension to the end point of frontage.
For properties adjoining the right-of-way where the
extension is located or adjoining either side of an alley,
.~
easement or unpaved road, points will be computed. as follows:
10 points per lineal foot of frontage
500 points per acre of land
0.1 points per acre per.lineal foot of distance
from origin of the extension to the-end of the
properties' frontage,
(0.1 x the number of acres x the length of the ext~nsion)
The monetary value of each point is obtained by dividing the total
number of .points for all properties concerned into the total cost of the line
extension (less the amount of participation by the Water Works or any other
governmental agency) and each property is then assessed proportionally by its
number of points.
For properties where adequate water and sewer lines are already avail-
able on one side, a credit shall be applied as follows: Reduce the total number
of points for the property by fifty percent (50%) in the calculations (See
Parcel A in the attached "Example for Schedule 1).
In making the calculations, it will be determined, in advance, which
properties the utility extension is designed for and capable of serving. Each
of these parcels of property will then be included in the calculations. If it
is reasonably certain that a property will never tie on to the system, it will
be ommitted from the calculations. Any property owner wanting to connect to
the utility extension which had not been included in the calculations would
have to pay a pro rata share based on the number of potnts for his property
times the same cost per pOint that was used to calculate the other properties'
shares.
Properties that do not front ,on the utility extension right-of-\'Iay,
but will be served by the extension, are still subject to the pro rata assessment.
lq
EXHIBIT NO. U.
SCHEDULE l(cont.)
The number of pOints are calculated the same way (Schedule I), but the points
for the front footage are 'omitted. This is to offset the costs of running
a line from the utility extension to the property (See Parcel E in the
o
"Attached examples for Schedule 1).

SEWER RATES ESTABLISHED.
A. The rates and charges for the services of the City of Schertz, Texas
shall consist of a base rate for debt service and system depreciation and
a user charge for system operation and maintenance. The rates and charges
shall be assessed according to the following categories:
1. Single Family Residence:
a. Base Rate - - Each single-family residential connection
shall be assessed a base rate of $3.25 per month.
b. User Charge -- ,Each single-family residential user of the
sewer system shall be assessed a monthly rate based on one
hundred percent (100 %) of the user's average water consump-
tion as corouted for the months of December, January and
February. One Do 11 ar and two cents( $1, 02) sha 11 be assessed for
each one thousand (1,000) gallons. In the event a customer
moves from one address to another within the city, his
sewer rate at the new address shall be the same as that at
the former address until the annual re-rating whi ch shall
occur in February of each year. In the event that no
previ ous rate has been es-tab 1 i shed by the customer, the
rate assessed shall be determined by taking the overall
average of chargable water consumption of all single-family
residences on the sewer system.
2. Business and Multi-family Dwelling Units:
a. Base Rate -- The base rate shall be assessed in terms of
connection equivalents, which equivalents shall be deter-
mined as follows: Customer's previous twelve-month water
consumpti on as determined at the annua 1 rerati ng in February
,shall be divided by three hundred sixty-five (365), and the
results of such division shall then be divided by two hundred
forty five (245). The figure arrived at by the second division
shall be the customer's connection equivalent. Each business
assessed a base rate of four dollars and twenty fi ve cents
($4.25) per connection equivalent per month. In the event
of a new sewer connection or a change in use of the existing
connection, the base rate assessed shall be based on the
connection equivalent as determined by Cibolo Creek Municipal
Authority in calculating sewer connection fees, until such
time as the customer has established a six-month average.
At such time the base rate shall be based on the six-month
average until the annual re-rating which shall occur in each
year in the month of February.
b. User Charge -- The user charge wil,ll';be: assessed on one hundred
percent (100%) of the customer's water consumption, at one dOllar and
five cents ($~.08) per one thousand (1,000) gallons.
3. Public Schools:
a. Base Rate -- Each public school shall be assessed a base rate
of four dollars and twenty five cents ($4.25) per connection
equivalent. In the event that new schools are constructed,
the base rate shall be based on the connection equivalents as
determined by Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority in determining
sewer connection fees, until such time as the new school has
established a twelve-month average. At such time, the base
rate shall be based on the twelve-month average until the
annual re-rating in February.

EXHIBIT NO. 5(cont.)
b. User Charge -- The user charge, based on one hundred percent
(100 %) of all water consumed each month, shall be one dgllar and
five cents ($1:'05) per one thousand (1,000) gallons.
B. Industrial; wasteS':;
Where industrial wastes are discharged into the sewers, if such waste
contains amounts of suspended solids and/or biochemical oxygen demand
in excess of normal domestic waste, the service charge for such connection
shall be subject to negotiation between the business establishment and
the city. Such special charges shall be based on the quantity and
quality of waste discharged into the sewerage system of the city.
C. If, ahd in the event, it is determined that as a result of a temporary
water leak or other unusual circumstance the means of establishing rates
for sewer service by measurement of~water flow would place a substantial
burden on the customer, then the water consumption for such temporary
period shall be determined by the Di~ector of Public Works based on
evidence available to him. His determination shall be final and unappeal-
able.
D. Any residence or business outside the city limits desiring to be included
in the sewer system must negotiate with Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority
and the city, and the price for such connection is to be determined by
such negotiation.
