Mayor Carpenter recognized City Manager John Kessel who stated he wanted to
recognize a few employees from Public Works. A few months ago we applied for a
TERP Grant which lets you retire old equipment that is polluting the environment; if we
permanently disable it, we can be eligible for a reimbursement from the state. We
received $107,000 back from the state. We can now reassign that money for other
purchases for more fleet equipment. Mr. Kessel named Jonathan Harshman, Cindy
Raleigh, Jennifer Jones, Jimmy Hooks, Larry Busch, Jr. and other folks in the Public
Works Department as contributors to attaining this reimbursement . With further research
they found that by trading in three of the pieces of equipment they could get more value
through a trade in. This was a very smart way of handling thus matter and he commended
the public works staffers for their leadership and ingenuity.

Skate Park Phase II Project. (Item requested by Mayor
Mayor Carpenter recoghi d Executive Director Brian. James who stated when we built the skate
park we received a $25,000 grant to, help us and the city kicked in an additional funding amount,
resulting itt, about $140,000 to get the,, first phase up and running. The park opened last March.
He showed a picture of the design on the overhead screen. There are three more circles of
skating space that can be addd. However, we haven't done the actual construction drawings for
the future phases. That would be the next step if we decide to proceed. Initially we probably
thought it would oeur in-,three phases. The first phase is the least expensive. One of the next
steps is that the Parks Department will come in and add some extras such as a bench, water
fountain, a gazebo, picnic table, some trash cans, etc. They are starting to build this into their
current workload. They are planning to talk with the Parks Board and talk about the city budget
and what the members feel is needed and what our priorities should be.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro -Tem Edwards who stated he thinks the park is being
fully utilized all the time; in fact, there are kids using it from our surrounding areas (i.e,
Universal City, New Braunfels) who come to hang out with their friends in Schertz . He has
spoken to some of the youngsters and they are interested in the other phases being added to what
04 -21 -2015 Minutes Page - 2 -
we have now. He is encouraged and wants to hear what the Parks Board has to say about the
budget as well.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who asked whether we have any hours of
operation posted and/or any security cameras. Mr. James stated we do not. In fact we are
waiting to see about the possible need to add lighting and then also post hours of operation at that
time. We have not had any problems so far, but once we grow the facility, we may want to
consider some camera installation options.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Fowler who sked if any of'this is going to be put
into next year's budget. Mr. James said the Parks Board will need to tell us what the priorities
are and take this into consideration. We have been successful solar with the design -build
process. With this process you hire someone, tell them your'bndget, and" hey go out and do the
actual plan design and build it all in the same effort. If eduncil is interests in doing this, staff
could probably go out and get a better feel for what,we think the next phases will cost and
establish an order of magnitude.
Mayor Carpenter stated that unlike other skate parks that needed cameras, the skate community
here seems to be adept at being self - policing. The choices ,use made in building it are good ones
(i.e., sturdy materials) and it looks like it will hold up for long time. He thinks the council
would like to see a few choices on what we rrai ht do in the upcoming budget year and then we
could have a discussion to see what options are available in securing private funding assistance.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson Who suggested that we engage the
opinions of some of the currreent' skate park users, by showing them the proposed design drawing
and ask them which of the three, future circles they would like to see built first. Mr. James
concurred that this was 'a wood idea.,

Mayor Carpenter recognized Fire Chief David Covington who stated they have an
existing mutual aid agreement with the Alamo Area Chief's Association. Due to changes
in the state law we had to make those same changes in our agreement and we also
cleaned up some other language for clarification and contliuity. Since it wasn't just a
normal renewal, they thought they needed to bring it back to council to approve.
According to the agreement, any time an agency /city;decides rt6tllto respond, it is not an
obligation. However, in cases when there is an unusual fire or liirge structure fires, the
mutual aid agreements are great to have in place o that outlying; "area assistance is

City Council Meeting: April 28, 2015
Department:

Agenda No. 2
Subject: Ordinance No. 15 -T -13 — An Ordinance by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas
Authorizing a Budget Adjustment to the Drainage
Channel Maintenance Fund for improvements to the
Laura Heights Drainage Channel — Downstream
Section. (Final Reading)
Since 2013 . staff has been working with the residents within the Laura Heights and Ivy Estates
Subdivisions to improve their drainage channels so that the Laura Heights Homeowner's
Association (HOA) will be able to maintain them. The first two phases of the project (funded by
the City) consisted of a concrete drainage swale to carry the constant flow through the Laura
Heights Detention Pond and the channel from the outfall of the pond to the culvert upstream of
Laura Bluff. Staff discussed a lack of funding for this fiscal year with the HOA President and
through an action by the Laura Heights HOA Board they agreed to donate $25,000 for the final
phase to get this project completed. The donation was received in February 2015.
Staff is requesting a budget adjustment to use the $25,000 donation to substantially fund the final
phase of the drainage improvement project downstream of the the Laura Heights Subdivision.
This phase will be a 5 -foot concrete drainage swale approximately 450 feet long from the
concrete riprap downstream of the Laura Bluff culverts to the Lazar Parkway right -of -way that is
maintained by the City. The project is estimated to cost approximately $30,000 and will be
funded from the donation and remaining funds in the FY 201.4 -1.5 Drainage Channel
Maintenance line item within the Drainage Fund. Staff recommends approval.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of April 21, 2015.
Goal
To complete the final phase of the drainage improvement project downstream of the Laura
Heights Subdivision to provide for proper drainage to protect life and property and to provide the
ability for the HOA to properly maintain the channel.
Community Benefit
Through cooperation with the Laura Heights HOA the city will be able to complete this project
that will provide for appropriate drainage to protect life and property for residents in the
neighborhood as well as provides maintainable structures that help the HOA sustain the capacity
and integrity of the storm water conveyance facilities.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: April 28, 2015
Department: Public Works
Subject: Resolution No. 15 -R -32 — A Resolution by
the City Council of the City of Schertz,
Texas authorizing a contract with Lambda
Construction I, Ltd. related to the East Live
Oak Pump Upgrade Project, and other
matters in connection therewith
[ X1 4',T" Z111L`I 1
The City desires to upgrade and improve the East Live Oak Water Pump Station to meet future
demand during high -peak consumption months. The improvements include upgrading an
existing 100 Horse Power Low Pressure Zone Pump and Motor and adding a 300 Horse Power
High Pressure Zone Pump and Motor to the system. All plumbing, electrical, start up, testing
and disinfection is included. This project is vital to the water distribution system for the City of
Schertz during increased demand periods.
The project was publicly bid using the Competitive Sealed Bid Proposal Method. This method
allows the City to choose a contractor not only based on cost, but on qualifications and
experience as well. Two bids were received for this project. Public Works has chosen to
recommend Lambda Construction I, Ltd. for this project. Lambda did have the higher cost bid,
but were the best value selection based on the rest of the criteria including experience,
qualifications, reputation, capability, past performance, experience with other entities, experience
with similar projects, available resources, and corporate history and stability.
Due to the sensitivity of this project and the need to keep the "Heartbeat of the City" pumping,
we want to choose the better qualified company over the less expensive company. Lambda's bid
was still $85,000 under the Engineer's estimate for this project and the budgeted amount for this
project. The balance will provide for contingency, legal, and any other professional services that

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: April 28, 2015
Department: Public Works
Subject: Resolution No. 15 -R -33 - a Resolution .
authorizing contracts totaling no more than
$80,000 with Advanced Water Well
Technologies for labor and related materials for
various separate and unrelated water pump
repair projects during the 2014 -15 Fiscal Year
and other matters in connection therewith
:• xl:l ►1
The City has various large water pumps that move our water around the City from our Live Oak
pump station. These pumps are essential to maintaining water service for drinking water,
firefighting, industrial use, and irrigation use around the City, particularly during peak demand
times. From time to time, these pumps fail and need repair. Typically, this is an urgent repair that
the City would contact repair vendors based on their availability, their workload, and their
experience.
We currently do not have a contract with an "on- call" vendor as pump repairs are uncommon.
However, the City has recently experienced two failures and is seeking Council approval of the
second contract due to the amount of both repairs exceeding $50,000. The City has contracted
with Advanced Water Well Technologies for labor and related materials for two separate and
unrelated pump repair projects at East Live Oak. The first repair was approximately $23,000 and
the second repair is estimated to be $30,227.
Staff is seeking an additional buffer amount with Advanced Water Well Technologies in case of a
third pump failure as we go into the peak water use season and prior to either the establishment of
an "on -call" vender for pump repairs or the end of the fiscal year. This buffer amount is estimated
to cover one average pump repair.
The City's Purchasing Policy, adopted and approved by the City Council of the City pursuant to
Resolution No. 11 -R -14, authorizes the City Manager, or his or her designee, to approve and
execute contracts for amounts less than $50,000 without obtaining City Council approval for such
contracts. The total amount of the various separate and unrelated contracts that the City has
entered into with Advanced Water Well Technologies during the 201.4 -15 Fiscal Year will exceed
$50,000 with this second repair.
City staff desires the ability to utilize Advanced Water Well Technologies in connection with one
or more additional separate water pump repair project during the remainder of the 2014 -15 Fiscal
Year, for total expenditures of up to $80,000.
The Public Works Department operates two well sites and three booster stations throughout the
City that require pumps and motors to push water through the system and into storage tanks for
use by citizens and businesses. Presently, the City has the following pumps and motors at these
various sites:
East Live Oak Pump Station
3 High Pressure Zone Pumps and Motors
3 Low Pressure Zone Pumps and Motors
(2 High Pressure Zone Pumps have gone down in the March and April 2015)
Nacogdoches Well Site
2 High Pressure Pumps
Deer Haven Booster Site
2 Booster Pumps
Northcliffe Booster Site
2 Booster Pumps
Ware Seguin Booster Site
2 Booster Pumps
At unforeseen times, any of the above pumps and motors could experience break down that would
result in repairs. Staff would like to be prepared to have approval to spend the additional funds if
necessary with Advance Water Well Technologies for these repairs if needed.
The Public Works Department has currently contracted with Advanced Water Well Technologies
for the repair of one pump and motor and needs to contract for a second repair. The balance of
funds available to be spent with Advanced Water Well Technologies will be used for unforeseen
and emergency repairs of water pumps in the City.
Goal
To obtain approval from City Council to approve and execute contracts with Advanced Water
Well Technologies during the remainder of the 2014 -15 Fiscal Year for total expenditures of up to
$80,000.
Community Benefit
To provide the best services at the lowest cost for labor and related materials for various separate
and unrelated water pump and motor repair projects within the City of Schertz.
Summary of Recommended Action
Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to approve and execute contracts with
Advanced Water Well Technologies, during the remainder of the 2014 -15 Fiscal Year for total
expenditures of up to $80,000 (cumulative).
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact for approval of the Resolution. Costs associated with utilizing Advanced Water
Well Technologies for repair projects will be paid for accordingly and as needed. Funds are
budgeted for these services as required.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 1.5 -R -33.

Primary Mission and Purpose
The purpose of this program is to provide services and assistance directly to victims of crime to speed their
recovery and aid them through the criminal justice process. Services may include the following:
• responding to the emotional and physical needs of crime victims;
• assisting victims in stabilizing their lives after a victimization;
• assisting victims to understand and participate in the criminal justice system; and
• providing victims with safety and security.
Funding Levels
The anticipated funding levels for these programs are as follows:
• Minimum Award - $5,000
• Maximum Award -None
• Grantees, other than Native American Tribes, must provide matching funds of at least twenty percent (20 %) of
total project expenditures. Native American Tribes may be required to provide a five percent (5 %) match. This
requirement may be met through either cash or in -kind contributions or a combination of both.
For more information regarding grantee match, please click on the Budget tab, and then click on the Source of
Match tab in eGrants.
Note: If you voluntarily include matching funds that exceed the minimum match requirement, you will be held to
that amount throughout the grant period.
Program Requirements
Preferences
Preference will be given to applicants that provide core services to victims and that promote comprehensive victim
restoration while incorporating an emphasis on cultural competency in underserved populations. Applicants are also
strongly encouraged to streamline administrative and reporting processes by consolidating grant requests
whenever possible in lieu of submitting multiple applications.
Criminal History Reporting
Entities receiving funds from CID must be located in a county that has an average of 90% or above on both adult
and juvenile dispositions entered into the computerized criminal history database maintained by the Texas
Department of Public (DPS) Safety as directed in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Chapter 60. The
disposition completeness percentage is defined as the percentage of arrest charges a county reports to DPS for
which a disposition has been subsequently reported and entered into the computerized criminal history system.
Program Emphasis
Applicant agrees to implement comprehensive strategies that are sensitive to the concerns and safety of the
victims and hold offenders accountable for their crimes. Applicants must indicate the percentage of their project
that benefits Victim Services, Law Enforcement, Prosecution, Courts or other areas. Program emphasis decisions
should be made based on the beneficiary of the funded activities. For example, a victim services coalition who
provides training to police throughout the state would fall under the "law enforcement" category because the
training is to benefit law enforcement.
Indicate the percentage ( %) of your project that benefits:
Victim Services - any nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that assists victims.
100
Law Enforcement - any public agency charged with policing functions.
0
Prosecution - any public agency charged with direct responsibility for prosecuting criminal offenders.
0
Court - any civil or criminal court system.
0
Other - any initiative that indirectly affects victims (ex., developing protocols and procedures).
0
Culturally Competent Victim Restoration
Provide information in this section regarding how your organization is culturally competent when providing services
to victims. Here are some guidelines to follow: Victim service providers must have the ability to blend cultural
knowledge and sensitivity with victim restoration skills for a more effective and culturally appropriate recovery
process.
Cultural competency occurs when: (1) cultural knowledge, awareness and sensitivity are integrated into action and
policy; (2) the service is relevant to the needs of the community and provided by trained staff, board members,
and management; and (3) an advocate or organization recognizes each client is different with different needs,
feelings, ideas and barriers.
The crime victims liaison unit will focus on cultural competence by recognizing and overcoming a variety of cultural
barriers to effective service delivery. We will implement language services to reduce problems that can arise with
victims of varying language backgrounds. We will work collectively with outreach programs to identify target
populations that are in need of crime victim services. All services will focus on the following areas: 1. Cultural
identity of the individual 2. Cultural explanations of the individual's situation 3. Cultural factors related to the
psychosocial environment 4. Cultural elements of the relationship between the individual and the suspect 5. Overall
cultural assessment for assessment of needs
Culturally Specific and Underserved Populations
UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS - The term 'underserved populations' means populations who face barriers in
accessing and using victim services, and includes populations underserved because of geographic location, religion,
sexual orientation, gender identity, underserved racial and ethnic populations, populations underserved because of
special needs (such as language barriers, disabilities, alienage status, or age), and any other population
determined to be underserved by the Attorney General or by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, as
appropriate.
CULTURALLY SPECIFIC - The term 'culturally specific' means the program is primarily directed toward racial and
ethnic minority groups (as defined in section 1707(g) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300u- 6(g)).
The term 'racial and ethnic minority group' means American Indians (including Alaska Natives, Eskimos, and
Aleuts); Asian Americans; Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders; Blacks; and Hispanics.
The term `Hispanic' means individuals whose origin is Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or
any other Spanish- speaking country.
The organization must do more than merely provide services to an underserved population or culturally specific
group; rather, the organization's primary focus must be on providing culturally competent services designed to
meet the specific needs of the target population in order to justify a YES response in the section below.
Does your program have a primary focus on serving a culturally specific population?
_ Yes
X No
If you answered YES to the question above you must explain in the box below how your organization's program is
specifically designed to focus on and meet the needs of culturally specific populations.
N/A
Victim Referral Process
Describe how victims are referred to your agency:
When an officer is dispatched to an incident, he or she will first gather information as to what type of crime has
been committed. As information is gathered, the officer will then identify all parties involved, to include the
offender(s), possible suspect(s), witnesses, and victims. Once it is determined there is a victim as described in
chapter 56 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, he or she will then be provided the appropriate information on
his or her rights as a crime victim. Additionally, this is accomplished by reviewing daily crime reports to identify
victims and access their needs. As Schertz is a tri- county city, depending on the location of the offense, the victim
would be provided the appropriate Crime Victim Advocate's information. Since this position supports Schertz,
Cibolo, and Live Oak, the process would be similar for each agency.
Services to Victims of Crime
Applicant agrees to provide services to victims of crime which include: responding to the emotional and physical
needs of crime victims; assisting victims in stabilizing their lives after victimization; assisting victims to understand
and participate in the criminal justice system; and providing victims with safety and security.
Effective Services
Applicant must demonstrate a record of providing effective services to crime victims. if the applicant cannot yet
demonstrate a record of providing effective services, the applicant must demonstrate that at least 25 percent of its
financial support comes from non - federal sources.
Volunteers
Applicant agrees to use volunteers to support either the project or agency -wide services, unless CJD determines
that a compelling reason exists to waive this requirement.
Community Efforts
Applicant agrees to promote community efforts to aid crime victims. Applicants should promote, within the
community, coordinated public and private efforts to aid crime victims. Coordination efforts qualify an organization
to receive these funds, but are not activities that can be supported with these funds.
Crime Victims' Compensation
Applicant agrees to assist crime victims in applying for crime victims' compensation benefits.
Records
Applicant agrees to maintain daily time and attendance records specifying the time devoted to allowable victim
services.
Civil Rights Information
Applicant agrees to maintain statutorily required civil rights statistics on victims served by race, national origin,
sex, age, and disability of victims served, within the timeframe established by CJD. This requirement is waived
when providing services, such as telephone counseling, where soliciting the information may be inappropriate or
offensive to the crime victim.
Victims of Federal Crime
Applicant agrees to provide equal services to victims of federal crime. (Note: Victim of federal crime is a victim of
an offense that violates a federal criminal statute or regulation; federal crimes also include crimes that occur in an
area where the federal government has jurisdiction, such as Indian reservations, some national parks, some
federal buildings, and military installations.)
No Charge
Applicant agrees to provide grant- funded services at no charge to victims of crime. Applicants are also prohibited
from billing Crime Victims Compensation, private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare for services provided using
VOCA funds.
Confidentiality
Applicant agrees to maintain the confidentiality of client - counselor information and research data, as required by
state and federal law.
Discrimination
Applicant agrees not to discriminate against victims because they disagree with the State's prosecution of the
criminal case.
Forensic Medical Examination Payments
Health care facilities shall conduct a forensic medical examination of a victim of an alleged sexual assault if the
victim arrived at the facility within 96 hours after the assault occurred and the victim consents to the examination.
The victim is not required to participate in the investigation or prosecution of an offense as a condition of receiving
a forensic medical examination, nor pay for the forensic examination or the evidence collection kit. The evidence
collection portion of the exam is to be paid by law enforcement per state law. Crime Victim Compensation funds
may be used to pay for the medical portion of the exam unless the victim of sexual assault is required to seek
reimbursement for the examination from their insurance carrier. If a health care facility does not provide diagnosis
or treatment services for sexual assault victims, the facility is required to refer the victim to a facility that provides
those services.
Protection Orders
