World Class Customer Service Program. He stated that this is a 4 week, 16 hour course
which will help each and every one of them to become better with their customer service.
He stated that this course will make a tremendous difference in their jobs dealing with
citizens and businesses they interact with. Mr. Kessel provided information to Council
regarding the recent graduates. Mr. Kessel thanked all those who participated.
Employee Recognition
• Recognition regarding Emergency Vehicle Training Certification. (D. Wait/J. Harshman)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Executive Director Dudley Wait who introduced Fleet
Manager Jon Harshman. Mr. Wait stated that this time last year they tried to come up
with an idea to enhance services available through the fleet department. The EMS
department is one of the larger departments that utilizes the fleet services and they came
up with an idea to use some funds that they had available to finance an extra fleet
technician. The only thing that they put on it was that the fleet technician would need to
be trained as an Emergency Vehicle Fleet (EVT) technician. The idea was to have one
person trained that could handle the problems with EMS and spread this over to Fire and
Police and build team work between departments to be able to build the fleet department
up and to take care of the emergency vehicles that we have. As par for the course since he
began with the City, Mr. Harshman took that seed of an idea and grew it and blossomed it
into an amazing program that he will be explaining tonight that has completely
transformed the abilities that he now has in his shop not only for these vehicles but also
with all safety vehicles.
Mr. Harshman stated it was brought to his attention in 2011that we had a need in the
Fleet division to address basic training needs for servicing and repairing emergency
vehicles. During this time a lot of our major repairs were being outsourced. They worked
with the Public Safety Division and got approval for a new position with specifications
for having the EVT requirements. This service program equips our staff to handle any
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 2 -
repair or service issue that presents itself. It allows us to outfit emergency vehicles with
emergency equipment, lighting, electronics, and communication equipment as well as the
basic repair services. Eventually, we will have one of the most certified and best trained
city fleet department in the state. He proceeded to introduce Adam Guthrie, who has an
extensive background in auto repair (15 years of experience). Adam started with the City
of Schertz this summer. Another tenured staff member, Tom Donley, is not here tonight
but he is a steeple in our fleet department with a wide knowledge base. He is disciplined,
hard working and a `lead by example' person. Tom is the `answer guy' for fleet.
In regard to the EVT position, it has now blossomed from one to two positions. Chris
West has taken this challenge on his back. He also spoke next about Zach Cromwell who
had experience as a sweeper mechanic and has done this training on his own without it
being a job requirement. He went to a lot of training events with Chris and received his
first certification for maintenance and inspection and testing of a fire apparatus in a very
short period of time; quite an achievement for someone of his tenure. Last but not least,
Chris began here as a street worker but had some previous experience as a mechanic. In
2014 he was promoted to our first official EVT position and has achieved the Level I
EVT Ambulance Technician Certification. This is an incredible achievement as it
involves over 5 separate EVT and ASE tests with over 500 questions that have to be
answered very specifically; he will begin his second phase of testing this fall; a Level 1
Fire Technician certification and subsequently following it up with a law enforcement
certification. These are not easy tests and when he is through he will be one of the most
certified city fleet employees in the city, let alone the state. He recognized all the
gentlemen and thanked them for all their dedication and hard work. Mr. Harshman
displayed some of the certifications for Council to see.
Presentation
• Presentation of the 2015 Hal Baldwin Scholarship to Roni Fraser. (B. Cantu /S. Gonzalez)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Executive Director Bob Cantu who stated on Tuesday, May
19, 2015, we recognized and awarded the recipients of this year's Hal Baldwin
Scholarship. As mentioned that evening, our second place recipient, Ms. Roni Fraser,
was unable to attend due to prior commitments. However, she is here tonight, and I am
excited to introduce her! Roni Fraser is a graduate of Samuel Clemens High School and
just finished participating in Tour for Troopers, which is part of Drum Corps
International or DCI. Roni, along with other members who are a part of this group,
trained upwards of 12 plus hours a day as a professional musical marching unit. The
group then traveled across the United States and competed in national DCI events against
other corps units for 2 months, before competing at the World Championships in
Indianapolis in early August.
Along with being a part of that organization, Roni was highly involved in giving back to
her community. She recently received the Girl Scouts Gold Award, which is the
equivalent to the Eagle Scout honor, for her work in a project she headed up for helping
adopted children find forever homes.
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 3 -
In a few short weeks, Roni will attend the University of North Texas and begin her
studies towards getting a degree in Emergency Administration and Planning. After
graduating, she has plans to join the FEMA Corps and then get her Masters in Emergency
Planning or Homeland Security, with the ultimate goal to work for either FEMA with
disaster response and preparedness or for the Department of Homeland Security focusing
on counter terrorism.
Roni stated in her essay that she "wants to pursue a career in public service because she
feels called to be there and she enjoys enriching others' lives and in return seeing how
they enrich hers." She also mentioned that the "field of public service changes every day,
and it is our job to adjust to this changing world to better serve the people around us." It
certainly sounds like she is on the path to do just that. Congratulations Roni and good
luck in the next chapter of your life!
Mayor Carpenter and members of the Hal Baldwin Scholarship Committee came down
and presented Roni with a check in the amount of $1,500. Mayor and Council
congratulated her.
Hearing of Residents
Mayor Carpenter recognized the following individuals who spoke:
0 Mr. Lou Cady, 313 Cattle Run, Cibolo, who spoke regarding the growth of the Senior
Center and the possibility of adding a kitchen so that they can provide their own meals.
• Ms. Maggie Titterington, 10217 Ivy Horn, who commended the City in their efforts and
work regarding the recent salary survey, and the recent Community Budget Workshops
that were provided.
She commented she was able today to see the graduation of the employees who recently
received their certificates in customer service from Dale Carnegie.
• Mr. Robert Gibson, who spoke regarding the great Schertz Senior Center and the value of
the center to the seniors in the area to be able to have a space to come and get together.
Mr. Gibson stated that he wanted the City to go out and get the best 3rd Party
management company they could find for the Center.
• Mr. Bert Crawford, 41.00 Brook Hollow Drive, who addressed concerns regarding the
Evergreen Solution study. Mr. Crawford commented on a recent salary survey performed
by the City of Boerne and suggested we take a look at it. He also commented on the
amount of the survey compared to Evergreen. Mr. Crawford added that if you do take a
look at the City of Boerne, click on the transparency portal — that will take you to their
check/expense record; he would hope that we could be as transparent. Mr. Crawford also
spoke regarding the City losing employees to other cities at an alarming rate, and the
need to fill numerous vacant positions.
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 4 -
• Mr. Robert Brockman, 1001 E1bel Road, who stated that yesterday there was a concrete
spill on Schertz Parkway. He stated that he contacted 311 and spoke to Ms. Sherry Davis
who was able to contact the correct department to take care of this problem and it was
cleaned up very quickly. He stated that 311 performs their work very well. Mr.
Brockman also stated that it takes five years to get funding on large projects that we need.
He had those present this evening from the Senior Center raise their hands and he wanted
to put it on record that they need some money for a new Senior Center building.
Workshop
• Discussion and update regarding the Schertz Senior Center. (B. James)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Executive Director Brian James who stated tonight we are not
asking for a decision from Council; what we want to do is brief City Council on where we
stand with things. We want to spend a few days talking with the seniors and then based on
those discussions if there are no major concerns we will come back next week asking for
approval to enter into an agreement for an operator for the Senior Center.
Before he gets started he wanted to offer a word of thanks to Mary Spence and Natalie
Keaney in our Public Affairs Department. They did a whole lot of work to put together the
Senior Center Gala "Sock Hop" that we had last Friday night.
Mr. James reminded Council that the Parks staff has been operating the Senior Center for
the past year, doing double duty; mainly, Sandy Bryant, Chuck Van Zandt and Dean Izuno
from General Services. We felt it was important to take that over for a while in order to
understand the needs of the seniors. One thing that has been clear is that we have a strong
Leadership team of the seniors themselves. These discussions and input provided have been
a big help. Mr. James stated that what we know is that we really need someone that knows
and has experience in running a senior center as well as the resources in terms of staffing
levels and the capacity to make sure that the operation becomes seamless as opposed to us
having one person that is running it and then if they leave we would again have some down
time and gaps until the position was filled. The idea was to put out an RFP to see what we
would receive from interested parties in running a Senior Center. Mr. James stated that the
city did receive comments and input from several of the seniors who they thought would be
a good fit for this. We received only one (1) response back and we have been reviewing
this, and they, as well, have been reviewing our meal program that we had started
partnering with. After all these discussions we are comfortable with the firm that
responded. This firm was the YMCA and the partner they have with them is the Wellmed
Charitable Foundation. In looking at their experience in these areas we are comfortable
that they are a good fit in terms of taking the seniors forward. Mr. James provided
examples of the programs and activities available through YMCA and Wellmed that the
seniors would want. The proposal includes 4 times a year activities going out on field trips
along with many other planned activities events and functions.
We not only believe that we have someone with the experience and the good understanding
of what the seniors want because of other things they have done. But what we also found
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 5 -
was while they have this experience they will be communicating with the seniors through
various surveys where individuals can provide feedback. Also twice a year they will
provide a larger survey in evaluating what their needs are, what the direction is, and a way
to provide goals for the management team for what they want to accomplish every year.
Also included in the RFP was their estimated budget. He reminded them what the City paid
out for the Comal County Senior Foundation which was around $40,000. The budget for
the first year for the YMCA was $145,000 and ramps up to $170,000 over a five (5) year
window. We feel if we want the center to have the type of programing that we want, have
the staffing level, there is a cost of having this. It is estimated that $80,000 of the $145,000
will be for paying for staff and the appropriate staffing levels we want.
Another item discussed earlier was the space issue. What we have always said is the
problem we want to have is that we are out of room at the Senior Center. You may recall
when the last contract was cancelled we did not have that problem, we had plenty of room
at the current facility. With the work that Chuck, Sandy and the seniors' have done and all
their efforts, we now have a problem with the senior center being tight going forward. One
of the things that is fortuitous in working forward is that we have an agreement to lease
space with Wellmed that's part of that building. That contract generally runs through this
year and another few months going forward. The good news for Wellmed is that their
operations are growing and they are doing more business. They have told us that they need
more space soon. Generally, what they have talked about is they are going to need to find a
place that has more room and they would like to stay in the Senior Center another year
while they find that space and are able to grow into it. The good news is it will allow us to
again expand the Senior Center into the existing building that we already have. From his
perspective it's a lot of break out rooms where we can have a group of folks that want to do
something and want a little peace and quiet and not want to disrupt other activities in the
center. The additional rooms would give them the ability to do this with the additional
space. His hope would be that Mr. Brockman would say that is good for now but what are
we going to do because we are going to grow the center and in five years the seniors will
again be standing up saying we took over this additional space but we are tight again; what
have we done and what have we planned on to grow the facility beyond that. This plan
buys us the ability to not be so cramped and to take advantage of the programs that the
YMCA and Wellmed are proposing to offer; the additional space that would come on -line
within a year when Wellmed relocates and we would then do some remodeling. This
would tide us over for a while going forward.
Mr. James stated that at this point part of this plan is not to prepare meals at the center. Mr.
James stated that he believes we will soon outgrow the center even with the expansion of
the additional space and it doesn't make sense to him to put money into a kitchen now
when we know, hopefully, within a few years we are going to need a bigger facility. At that
point we will need to revisit this. The other thing is if we get to that point we may have to
scale where it makes sense for us to see what would be involved and what would be the
cost to actually be preparing our own meals and could we do it at the facility and could we
serve meals to other places and could we go after grants for that. At this point from a staff
perspective the other part is given the number of meals we do, we do not feel it makes
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 6 -
sense to take that operation in house. We also know that most of the seniors are on fixed
incomes and the cost of the meals are a big issue to them and he is not sure how much
demand there would be for seniors to have to pay for them moving forward. Our goal is to
keep those costs down as much as possible; again have them free and donations going back
to the meal program provider.
Mr. James stated that what we are recommending is to go back and talk to the seniors, get
feedback and see where we are, and based on that, if we don't hear major issues and we can
answer their questions, come back to Council for approval to enter into that contract with
the YMCA who is partnering with Wellmed to operate our Senior Center.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who stated the size of the center is a
big issue. He has heard two major complaints; (1) food, (2) Management. He asked if we
could correct those two things now because it has been over a year without someone
overseeing the center. He also stated he had received a complaint on the food. He wanted to
know if this could be corrected.
Mr. James answered stating that if there was a desire on the City Council based on the
feedback from the seniors that they didn't like the quality of the food and wanted a better
quality then the city could provide that. He stated that there would be a cost associated
with this. Mr. James stated that he does not believe they have substandard food and if the
seniors feel that is the case, he is sure they would let him know. He stated that there are
seniors that don't care for every type of meals that are prepared and there are certain items
they do not like; that being said we are doing 80 to 90 meals a day. There is not a cost to
the seniors for the meals and certainly if the council's direction is to figure out what the
seniors want and if they want the city to pay for the meals we can go back and come back
to council with that information. The cost of the meals right now is over $6.00 to bring it to
the seniors, and part of the goal is to meet certain nutritional guidelines. If you assume
$7.00 a meal and we are doing 80 meals a day, five days a week, this is a big dollar figure.
He doesn't disagree we could do something else; the question is in light of where we are
with a limited budget and limited money what do we want to do going forward. If the
direction from Council is we want to do something else we can go and find out what it
would cost.
Councilmember Azzoz stated that we need to do something else because that is what he has
heard. He stated that this was discussed last year with management and we do not have
management up there. Mr. James stated that we have had Parks staff over at the center and
part of that goal was to understand what the seniors want. If we went into this blindly we
would have these challenges. Councilmember Azzoz reiterated that the center needed a
manager.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson who stated that Parks and
Recreation have done a great job in stepping in on the interim basis. It is a very unique and
different organization than what Parks & Recreation is trained to do. He is pleased that the
City is moving forward with the consideration of YMCA and Wellmed. As far as the food
he thinks that if we can hand this over to YMCA and Wellmed that is one question that the
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 7 -
seniors will be glad to address with them. He sees this moving forward and looks forward
to what staff will be bringing back to us in the next week or two.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro -Tem Fowler who stated that based on his
calculations he has about $75,000 for the cost of the meals. He likes what Councilmember
Thompson said about letting YMCA and Wellmed take a look at the food budget. He
believes that they must meet some type of minimum requirement to serve nutritional meals.
He wanted to know if there was flexibility to serve or for them to get some "fat food" in
there that they may be used to eating. He wanted to know how that worked.
Mr. James stated we can do a couple of things if the City wanted to take over and pay for
the meal program; then there wouldn't be a requirement to meet any nutritional guidelines.
We could work with the seniors and serve them exactly what they wanted. He stated again
that in regard to the meals, someone has to pay for them and that grant funding that comes
from AACOG currently pays for the meals and those monies come with strings attached in
regard to nutritional criteria for the seniors. Again as stated, the YMCA and Wellmed can
go out and look and come back to the seniors with modifications. Again there are costs
with this. Mayor Pro -Tem Fowler stated that they were playing with an idea to have one of
our local restaurants bring in a meal once a week. He asked do we have the freedom to go
outside of the nutritional value for senior citizens. Mr. James answered yes, as he stated
before, if the City wants to pay that cost we do not have to comply with any nutritional
criteria. If we are not relying on monies relative to a specific program that has those
requirements, we can do what we want.
Mayor Carpenter stated that Chuck and Sandy have been there since we moved the group
out that was not doing a good job for us and he really appreciates the work that they have
done. You have done challenging work that you were neither trained for nor compensated
for and he appreciates that greatly. He stated there is a balance here and we were at a point
where we were charging, and he says we as the Council had chosen to pay the services of a
group that is not there anymore and we were trying to get a better food quality and we
started charging for lunches. When this happened participation fell off and what was
interesting is that the quality also fell way off. So, there is a balance. Having the lunches at
no cost to the seniors is a draw. The numbers proved this out over time. Participation will
go down if we start raising prices. It didn't work last time and he doesn't believe it will
work this time either. As to food quality, we have come a long way from where we were.
Is it at the apex where it will be exceptional every day and still free; we are not there yet?
If we had the ability to have more staff or go out and hire someone that could do the work
for us, then we might be able to work something out that is more creative that would get us
there. What we have done in the interim instead is ask staff that have regular day jobs to
go office over there and take care of this until we can find out the best answer. The
experience that we had with the group who managed the facility last time was horrible. We
cannot let that happen again. We have been patient, we have been careful, we have been
slow, we have had a dialogue and these are all the right things to do. At this point we have
a known entity in the YMCA. They have been doing work for us for years. We have very
few, if any, complaints for the services they render. Freddy will pour his heart out to make
sure this works out correctly, he has proven this by managing our pools and our facilities.
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 8 -
As he looks back you are looking for direction from Council to say are we amendable to
moving forward with YMCA and Wellmed. Wellmed has been there for a long time and
they have established themselves as a good partner and the YMCA has done the same with
other facilities. He says he thinks you should bring this back to us and move forward. That
should be step one. Addressing the food quality and whether or not we charge for it, which
we really shouldn't do because it doesn't work, and what we do to address that should
follow after the engagement with Wellmed and the YMCA. When we have them running
the facility and we free up the resources that have been officing over there, they will have
time back where they can help with the innovation to get us to all the places we want to go.
Let's engage, let's get a proposal from the YMCA and Wellmed and let's talk about what
we can do with Wellmed to expand their work, opening up some more of the Wellmed area
for the space that we need. Long term plans will follow that initial engagement. This is the
right thing to do. We have moved carefully this time so let's make sure we have an out
clause, although he really doesn't think we will need it, because of the known quantities
that we are engaging with, and if it doesn't work for us we will change again until we get it
figured out and get it right.
Mayor Carpenter thanked Mr. James for the presentation and thanked those who joined
them tonight.
Presentation and discussion of the FY 2015 -16 Proposed Budget. (J. Kessel/ J. Walters)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Senior Budget Analyst James Walters who stated last week
he presented the first part of the two -part budget workshops we usually have. The first
one is geared toward the overview of the budget and the big items and it focused more
on the tax rate, as we set the preliminary tax rate last week. Tonight we will go into more
detail, such as what is going on in each department. In an effort to cut down on the length
of this presentation, if nothing was really changing in a particular department, we are
going to skip over those, but if you have any questions about any of the ones skipped,
please ask. He is targeting the ones with significant change that can really be acted on.
Mr. Walters provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the FY 2015/16 Proposed

Upon completion of the powerpoint presentation, there were no further questions from
council.
• Discussion and possible action regarding setting the dates and locations for "Council on the
Move" meetings. (Item requested by Councilmember Edwards)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Edwards who stated they had discussed this a
few months ago and he suggests the following places to hold offsite council meetings:
Schertz Senior Center, Northcliffe, or something in southern Schertz (i.e., The School of
the Performing Arts, Corbett Junior High), or even Samuel Clemens High School. If we do
this correctly, we could let the public know in southern Schertz and northern Schertz that
we are a council on the move and they would have more access to us.
Mayor Carpenter responded saying it is easy for us to do this at Northcliffe or the Senior
Center (city controlled facilities). It is more challenging setting up in a facility not
controlled by us. He would like to see us do something in southern Schertz, maybe on the
other side of FM 78 (i.e. Corbett Jr. High) as this action would be fulfilling on our promise
to get out into the community. However, we need to get with the City Secretary's office to
see what complications would exist for the recording of those meetings. This facility has
recording video equipment in it already, but we do have audio equipment we could take
with us and that is a consideration. It sounds good to him and he is excited about doing it.
Mayor Carpenter stated since this item is listed for potential action, why not discuss where
they will have their next offsite meeting. Councilmember Edwards stated that Northcliffe
would be a good choice since they have not visited that area in a while. Mayor Carpenter
said he thinks it would also be a good idea to advertise that meeting in the city magazine.
The cutoff time for publication for next month (September) is Friday of this week. They
decided to plan for October and advertise the time /location in the September issue. He
instructed the City Secretary's office to arrange for this on a date that follows the
publication /mailing of the Schertz Magazine.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro -Tem Fowler who suggested Corbett Jr. High as the
location for the next one. Council decided to do an offsite meeting once per quarter, so the
next meeting would occur sometime in early 2016 (January- February- March). Meanwhile
in summary, Mayor Carpenter said we will have a meeting in the Northcliffe facility in
October and get the word out between now and then on the Schertz website and in the
Schertz Magazine.
• Discussion and possible action regarding moving to three (3) Council meetings per month.
(Item requested by Councilmember Thompson)
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page -15 -
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson who stated although we enjoy the
very short meetings it would be nice to not have to come in at all on that evening. After
conferring with the City Secretary's office, it was suggested to maybe transition into a three
meeting /month schedule with a 90 -day notice. Additionally, we should also give the city
staff the time schedule they feel would be best. They know the calendar better than we do.
He feels the benefits of this are good - more family time for employees and less stress on
the city staff. If we do this and follow up with a `council on the move' meeting once a
quarter, it will give staff a greater preparation time for that quarterly meeting.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Edwards who stated he thinks three full
efficient meetings is better than four small agenda meetings. He feels the three meetings
per month will be beneficial for the staff.
Mayor Pro -tem Fowler said that as long as we are brainstorming, what about if we had two
meetings /month (first and last weeks of each month, thereby creating two back to back
sessions to conduct business). Councilmember Azzoz also liked this idea, knowing also
that we could call a special meeting if needed.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember John who said he thinks most of this weighs
on the staff (City Secretary and City Manager offices) as they are the ones who prepare the
paperwork and do the reporting. He would like to have their opinions on this.
Mayor Carpenter provided a bit of history on the meeting schedule stating we used to have
two regular meetings (Tuesdays) and two workshop meetings (Wednesdays) per month. As
the city began to grow, there was an increase in business and a need for action to be taken
on workshop nights — so, on a trial basis, they went to four regular meetings per month.
Business dipped down during the recession and in moving out of the recession, we have
again had an increase in business. He suggested trying three meetings per month and
asking staff's opinion on which week of the month we won't meet. He does not want the
schedule to be fluid so that residents are not having to guess at when we are meeting each
month. We can always call a special meeting if needed. He is in favor of three meetings per
month. We can maybe pull the trigger on this in thirty days. He feels this will work.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro -Tern Fowler who stated there are going to be
periods of time where the workload will fluctuate (high and low) and we may consider this
if we need to go back to four meetings per month. Mayor Carpenter stated he still likes the
idea of having a set scheduled number of meetings for the publics' benefit. We can try the
three meetings per month and see bow it works out. He would like to see this happen in the
next 30 days.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson who moved, seconded by
Councilmember Edwards to approve having city council meetings three times a month,
giving discretion to staff of what schedule they will make and what notice they will need to
begin implementing this and with consideration as to when and if a fourth meeting is
needed we will discuss it at that time. The vote was unanimous with Mayor Pro -Tem
Fowler, Azzoz, John, Edwards and Thompson voting for and no one voting no.
Motion passed.

Consent Agenda Items
The Consent Agenda is considered self - explanatory and will be enacted by the Council with one
motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless they are removed from the
Consent Agenda upon the request of the Mayor or a Councilmember.

Part 111, Schertz Code of Ordinances, Unified Development Code (UDC), Article 9 Section
21.9.5 Exterior Construction and Design Standards. Final Reading (B. James /L. Wood /B.
Cox)

Councilmember Azzoz to approve the consent agenda items 1 and 2. The vote was
unanimous with Mayor Pro -Tem Fowler, Azzoz, John, Edwards and Thompson

Discussion and Action items
3. Resolution No. 15 -R -72 — Consideration and /or action approving a Resolution
authorizing a Project Agreement with Ford Engineering, Inc., for expenditures totaling no
more than $4,000 for a variety of small consulting tasks during the remainder of the
2014 -15 Fiscal Year. (B. James /K. Woodlee)
The following was read into record:
RESOLUTION NO. 15 -R -72
A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ,
TEXAS AUTHORIZING A PROJECT AGREEMENT WITH FORD
ENGINEERING, INC., FOR EXPENDITURES TOTALING NO MORE THAN
$4,000 FOR A VARIETY OF SMALL CONSULTING TASKS DURING THE
REMAINDER OF THE 2014 -15 FISCAL YEAR AND OTHER MATTERS IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
Mayor Carpenter recognized City Engineer Kathy Woodlee who stated the City has
contracted with Ford Engineering, Inc., for various projects throughout the 201.4 -201.5
Fiscal Year and the congregate value of the project agreements is greater than $50,000.
The City's Purchasing Policy, adopted and approved by City Council by Resolution 11-
R-14, outlines the need for City Council approval for any expenditure over $50,000 in
one fiscal year with one vendor.
The Engineering Department has a periodic need for engineering and/or surveying
services with very limited scope. It is desired that Staff have the ability to request
consulting services to be provided and invoiced on an hourly basis as needed. An
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 17 -
example of this is Staff's need to request assistance with a capacity analysis of the Tri
County Lift Station.
Because of Ford's history with and knowledge of City infrastructure and processes, the
company can provide the necessary assistance with a limited amount of Staff direction
and therefore delivers a high level of value for these types of tasks. Staff recommends
that Council authorize Staff to enter into a project agreement with Ford Engineering, Inc.,
for hourly consulting engineering and surveying services as needed for the remainder of
Fiscal Year 2014 -15 (an amount not to exceed $4,000).
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who moved, seconded by
Councilmember Edwards to approve Resolution No. 15 -R -72. The vote was unanimous
with Mayor Pro -Tem Fowler, Azzoz, John, Edwards and Thompson voting for and
no one voting no. Motion passed.
4. Ordinance No. 15 -T -26 — Consideration and/or action approving an Ordinance
authorizing a budget adjustment for construction of the Woodland Oaks Retaining Wall
Construction in the amount of $134,800. First Reading (B. James /K. Woodlee)
The following was read into record:
ORDINANCE NO. 15 -T -26
AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ,
TEXAS AUTHORIZING A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
THE WOODLAND OAKS RETAINING WALL CONSTRUCTION IN THE
AMOUNT OF $134,800; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF
ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT WITH THIS ORDINANCE; AND PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE
Mayor Carpenter recognized City Engineer Kathy Woodlee who stated she wanted to
clarify that what we are doing here is a budget adjustment to take some savings they
found in their budget from this fiscal year and move it into a project so it is available
once we get this construction bid. The design is already done and we are going to take it
out to bid within the next few weeks, so they will be back in about 30 days with a request
to let the contract.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who moved, seconded by
Councilmember Edwards to approve Ordinance No. 15 -T -26 first reading. The vote was
unanimous with Mayor Pro -Tem Fowler, Azzoz, John, Edwards and Thompson
voting for and no one voting no. Motion passed.
5. Resolution No. 1.5 -R -73— Presentation and consideration and/or action approving a
Resolution authorizing the approval of a five year rate schedule for water and wastewater
rates and other matters in connection therewith. (D. Wait /S. Willoughby)
The following was read into record:
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 18 -
RESOLUTION NO. 15 -R -73
A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ,
TEXAS AUTHORIZING THE APPROVAL OF A FIVE YEAR RATE
SCHEDULE FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES AND OTHER
MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
Mayor Carpenter recognized Public Works Director Sam Willoughby who stated that Mr.
Dan Jackson, with WillDan Financial Services formally Economists.com performed the
City's Water/Wastewater Rate Study in 2013. The City of Schertz requested Dan
Jackson to review our water and sewer rates and recommend a five -year rate schedule
based on projected operating expenses, capital expenses and debt service for the next five
years, including rate increases from COMA, SSLGC, and CVLGC. Staff recommends the
Council approve the resolution for the 5 -year Water /Wastewater Rate Study and
Schedule as presented by Dan Jackson. This will allow the new rates to be presented
with the FY 2015 -16 Fee Schedule and subsequent Fee Schedules in future years.
Mr. Jackson provided a PowerPoint presentation explaining the various rates and
projections and answered questions from Council. The following information was
provided:
Average utility has been increasing rates 5-
6% per year
At fAhas stated that it expects water and
ww rates across the 'USA to triple in the
next 15 years
Many reasons for rate increases are
beyond a City's ability to influence
Cities that jointly share facilities can have
lower unit costs
Conclusion: higher rates are an unfortunate
but inevitable fact of life in LISA

Mr. Jackson stated that most of the costs for water and sewer systems are fixed, so the
more people you have, the more people you can spread your costs over. Economic
Development, account growth, and residential growth are very effective in keeping rates
down. These are very positive investments for the future of the community. Mr. Jackson
continued answering questions from council.

6. Ordinance No. 15 -M -25 — Consideration and/or action approving an Ordinance
amending the City of Schertz Code of Ordinances establishing fees for certain licenses,
permits, and other services provided by the City of Schertz. First reading (J. Kessel/J.
Santoya /J. Walters)
The following was read into record:
i ? a n =IVA
Mayor Carpenter recognized Senior Budget Analyst James Walters who stated that city
departments collect a wide variety of fees for permits, services, fines and other charges
that are all part of the everyday operations of municipal government. Since September
2008, the fees have been incorporated into a single fee schedule. This ordinance will
provide a single document with all City fees that directly affect the users. The changes of
the fees ensures the continued operation of public utilities, provides for essential services
to the community and to adequately maintain the investment in existing infrastructure.
The attached ordinance replaces Appendix C of the City code which details the fees by
department and discloses the existing and proposed rates for each type of service. The
proposed rate changes will be effective October 15, 2015, excluding the Garbage Rates
which will be effective January Is', 2016. Staff recommends this Ordinance be approved.
The majority of the proposed fee changes in the General Fund are not expected to result
in significant revenue changes. For the Water & Sewer Fund, the proposed Water and
Sewer rate increases are expected to generate the additional revenue as seen in the Water
Rate Study by Economist.com. These changes to the Water and Sewer rates are in most
recent Rate Study. The Water & Sewer Fund is a self - sustaining fund and these fee
increases are necessary to support ongoing operations and maintenance.
Mr. Walters went over the schedule of individual fee changes and answered questions
from councilmembers.

Evergreen Solutions report and recommendations on City Staff Classification and
Compensation Study. (J. Kessel /J. Walters)

A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ,
TEXAS APPROVING EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATIONS ON CITY STAFF CLASSIFICATION AND
COMPENSATIONS STUDY AND OTHER MATTERS IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH
Mayor Carpenter recognized Senior Budget Analyst James Walters who stated he would
be going over the recommendation from Evergreen regarding the implementation portion.
He stated last week Evergreen presented some of their findings and methodology in their
final report. By the end of tonight staff will be asking Council to officially accept the
overall report and recommendations within. Evergreen is still working on getting answers
to a few questions from employees and have made a few adjustments based on the
feedback from staff; he will explain that at the end. Coming back next week it will be
more of a presentation over some of the tweaks they made; however, we will still be
asking for general direction and acceptance of the report tonight.
Mr. Walters proceeded to go over the various options Evergreen provided for the
implementation. Option l: followed the direction of the Compensation Philosophy and
focused on the positions furthest off market first. Option 2: focused more on the positions
that had hiring and retention issues. Staff is recommending Option 3: this combines the
other two options by not delaying any positions that are furthest off market in order to
move up some of the positions that had hiring and retention issues. So essentially, staff is
proposing we do both. Mr. Walters continued with explaining the monetary figures
associated with the implementation schedule and answered questions from council.
Councilmember Azzoz asked for clarification as to what `city staff recommended this
Option 3. City Manager John Kessel stated that he is recommending the `Early Start'
Option 3 and has communicated this to 100% of the staff, and has had some good
feedback, but he would stop short of saying they have conducted an absolute survey. He
has not heard of anyone in opposition of Option 3. Councilmember Azzoz' concern was
for our employees whom we are having retention issues with and the `boots on the
ground' positions. Mr. Walters explained the timeline of various positions that will be
addressed first and provided more data to council from his powerpoint presentation. A
copy of the Powerpoint presentation is on file with the City Secretary.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Edwards who asked management if they
have already implemented Evergreens recommendation that the City do a compensation
study every three years and keep a record of it. He recommended they keep council up to
date. City Manager John Kessel said yes, they would see a budget item in that year.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro -Tern Fowler who wanted confirmation as to who
we were looking at (positions furthest from market and positions where we had retention
8 -11 -2015 Minutes Page - 30 -
issues). He acknowledged that some people would have to wait but this approach is about
as best we can do.
Open discussion continued amongst Council and Mr. Walters regarding clarification as to
what payments would be made in FY- 2014/2015 and the subsequent two years thereafter.
Mayor Carpenter summarized by saying Building Maintenance, Waste Water, Police,
Fire and EMS are the furthest off market, in general terms, and need to be addressed first
as recommended in the study. Option 3 - -we will be spending more money than in any
other recommendation option. Option 3 with year zero says that rather than wait until
October 1, 2015, it is better to go back through this fiscal year we are in, calculate what
the first increase would have been and get them a check for that entire year's raise now
before the end of this fiscal year and on top of that on October 1, make the next
adjustment. That is the bulk of it. Over the next few years, everyone that is affected will
get corrected, but the most affected will get it first and get it now. That is what Option 3
Early Start is doing. It will take us the four years to get us where we need to be.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who asked if the rest of the issues he
is having with the grades and title changes, is that open for a discussion at a later time.
Mayor Carpenter replied that there are a number of outstanding questions that Evergreen
needs to address and he suggests that if something needs to still be addressed later and
it's going to cost us more money, let's plan to address that. We will repeat this exercise
of evaluating where everyone is before we even finish the payouts.
Councilmember Azzoz asked if it was fair to say we will start with those four
departments and then go forward with the rest. Mayor Carpenter responded saying by
following the recommendation from the study, the positions most affected, Building
Maintenance, Waste Water, Police, Fire and EMS will be addressed first. Mr. Azzoz
stated he would go for those four departments and take the rest later.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson who stated if they vote to adopt
Option 3 Early Start that is as positive a way that we can show our city employees we
have the resolve to take care of them and we will implement all phases of the
implementation policy that the council already has voted on.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Edwards who moved, seconded by
Councilmember Thompson to approve Resolution No. 15 -R -71, accepting Option 3,
Early Start. The vote was unanimous with Mayor Pro -Tem Fowler, Azzoz, John,
Edwards and Thompson voting for and no one voting no. Motion passed.
Roll Call Vote Confirmation
Mayor Carpenter recognized Deputy City Secretary Donna Schmoekel who provided the roll call
vote information for agenda items 1 and 7.

Requests and Announcements
8. Announcements by City Manager
• Citizen Kudos
• Recognition of City employee actions
• New Departmental initiatives
Mayor Carpenter recognized City Manager John Kessel who stated two years ago city
staff participated in a survey (Employee Engagement Survey) and the number one item
that was identified as most important to employees was salary. Subsequently, City
Council committed the funds and hired a firm to look at that issue and it was found there
really was an issue. He said there have been few studies that he has seen before where
there has been so much engagement by city staff as in this one; a true team effort where
everyone participated at some level. The communication to staff was extensive and staff
reciprocated. He wanted to say `Thank You' to staff but most importantly City Council
never hesitated that this was the right thing to do and to move forward. He also thanked
Council.
9. Requests by Mayor and Councilmembers that items be placed on a future City Council
agenda.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who stated he wanted to call an
Executive Session to discuss our City Manager. Mayor Carpenter asked if this would be
for a review or compensation discussion. Mr. Azzoz stated it was for a review. Mayor
Carpenter said along those same lines he would like to ask for the same for our City
Secretary as we have not adjusted her salary either. Two weeks, a review for both. That
way we can cover all necessary items including salary.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Edwards who said we have not sat for a
while and reviewed our strategic plan and going forward; if we could do this on a
Saturday morning sometime and at Least get it scheduled. Mayor Carpenter suggested we
have it on one of our `light' agendas in the very near future. We can have a workshop on
our strategic plan.
10. Announcements by Mayor and Councilmembers
• City and community events attended and to be attended
• City Council Committee and Liaison Assignments (see assignments below)
• Continuing education events attended and to be attended
• Recognition of actions by City employees
• Recognition of actions by community volunteers
• Upcoming City Council agenda items

Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Edwards who wanted to just say `Thank
You' to Mary Spence and all the members of the Senior Center and City staff who
worked on the Sock Hop event.
On the vote we just took, as leaders we may not be perfect but we have to be
accountable; it feels good to know that we were able to give to our staff and to our
employees that need the retention, the proper amount of pay.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson who just wanted to say
thanks to Mr. Walters and the entire City team that worked on Class and Comp study.
He feels they did an excellent job.
Mayor Carpenter stated that we are making good on a decade old promise tonight. He
read a Dec 14, 2004 letter written by former Interim City Manager John Bierschwale
who expressed his opinion of the importance of bringing forward a competitive
compensation package to city council for action. In the year or two that followed the
City made a million dollar adjustment and subsequently experienced a downturn and
we were not able to continue that effort. In the exercise we have been through in the
past year we are going to get there. He salutes everyone for that work.

resolutions for fees for licenses, permits, and services provided by the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has authorized a review and a consolidation of certain fees
for licenses, permits, and services provided by the City; and
WHEREAS, the Schedule of Fees attached as Exhibit A reflects revisions to certain fees,
a restatement of certain fees not revised, and a consolidation of all such fees; and
WHEREAS, due to the need for periodic modification of said fees and for the purposes
of efficiency, the City Council desires to adopt future fee changes by resolution rather
than by ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

All persons, firms, or corporations applying for licenses or permits or receiving other
City services described on Exhibit A that require the payment of a fee incident to such
application or service shall pay the fees as prescribed in the Fee Schedule attached hereto
as Exhibit A and made a part of hereof. It shall be a violation of this Ordinance to
conduct any activity or commence any use or receive any service for which payment of a
fee described herein is required until such fee has been paid (if required to be paid in
advance) or to fail to pay such fee when properly billed.
SECTION 2.
This Ordinance shall be cumulative of all provisions of ordinances and of the Code of
Ordinances of the City of Schertz, Texas as to the fees set forth on Exhibit A effect on the
effective date of this Ordinance, except where the provisions of this Ordinance are in

(Final Reading)
BACKGROUND
A condition assessment was performed on the existing railroad tie retaining wall along the right
of way line at the northwest corner of the intersection of Woodland Oaks Drive and Woodbridge

from the General Fund for the Woodland Oaks Retaining Wall Construction Project.

Animal Services
Ordinance No. 15 -11-27 —
Ordinance amending Chapter
14 of the Code of Ordinances
to adopt a trap, neuter, and
release program and certain
regulations with respect
thereto. First Reading
Animal Services is requesting to implement a Trap- Neuter -Return Program for stray and feral
cats. Statistics show that the program will greatly reduce the number of stray, un- neutered, un-
vaccinated animals in a colony and keep new cats from entering the colony. Implementing this
program is an effective and humane way to stabilize community cat populations. Cats are
humanely trapped and taken to a veterinarian, where they are neutered and vaccinated. Kittens
and socialized cats are placed into loving homes. Healthy, adult cats are returned to their colony
site, where they are often provided continuing care by volunteers.
A feral cat caregiver is a volunteer, uncompensated person who agrees to facilitate the trap,
neuter and return program. They will follow the rules and regulations set forth by Animal
Services and will be responsible for providing food, water and shelter for the cats in the colony.
A permitted caregiver will be responsible for trapping and transporting the cats for
spay /neuter /vaccinations. They will also provide Animal Services with updates on the colonies.
FISCAL IMPACT
Animal Services will provide traps to the caregivers for this purposes of this program. The cost
of additional traps are $75. The department will also fund all spay /neuter /vaccinations for the
cats in the program. On average, the cost per cat will be $65 -$75. Grant money and additional
funding from non -profit organizations has been identified to offset the spay /neuter costs.
RECOMMENDATION
Animal Services recommends the approval of first reading of Ordinance 15 -H -27 regarding the
Trap- Neuter- Return program for the City of Schertz. The overall impact includes: healthier
outdoor cats, reduced number of litters of stray kittens, and reduction of euthanasia of
feral /unwanted cats.

City Council Meeting: August 18, 2015
Department: Parks
Subject: Resolution No. 15 -R -74 - A Resolution by
the City Council of the City of Schertz,
Texas authorizing the City Manager to enter
into a contract with The YMCA of Greater
San Antonio for maintenance and operation
of the Schertz Area Senior Center. (B.
James/C. VanZandt)
BACKGROUND
The City of Schertz owns and operates, through the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
Department, the Schertz Area Senior Center, which currently provides services to seniors in
Schertz and the surrounding communities. The Senior Center serves citizens 50 years and older,
with leisure, wellness, civic, and educational opportunities for the purpose of enriching quality of
life, expanding interest and offering exposures in areas identified by the seniors in a safe and
wholesome environment. Current membership includes 481 seniors, with approximately 100
visitors daily.
The City desires to contract with a qualified firm to assume the management and operations of
the Schertz Area Senior Center. The scope of this work includes provisions for the following
core program components: fitness, nutrition, health and wellness programs, caregiver support
groups, information and access to services and community resources and programs, and life
enrichment programs. The City will provide the building and furnishings (to include tables,
chairs, some minimal office furniture, etc.), capital repairs, and landscaping. Utilities and minor
repairs will be the responsibility of the awarded entity.
The project was publicly bid using a Request for Proposals (RFP) format. Only one (1) bid was
received for this project from The YMCA of Greater San Antonio. Even though it was the only
bid received, based on the YMCA's experience, qualifications, reputation, capability, experience
with similar projects, and available resources, City staff is confident that this vendor has the
capability and resources to properly and effectively manage and operate the Senior Center.
Additionally, the YMCA has proposed to collaborate with the WellMed Charitable Foundation
to enhance existing programming and to create opportunities for new program and services.
WellMed also has extensive experience in providing comprehensive health and wellness services
to seniors, and will be able to offer a medical program component to monitor and ensure the
overall health of senior center members. The YMCA will work with the City to coordinate
turnover of operations of the Senior Center to the YMCA, which is anticipated to occur in
approximately 3 months.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the project will not exceed $145,235, payable in twelve monthly
installments of $12,102.92, due the 1 st business day of each month. The funding for the first year
of this project is included in the budget for FY 2014 -2015. The contract is a five year contract.
The cost to the City increases by approximately $6,000 per year up to $171,421 in Year 5. The
agreement includes termination provisions including one that allows the City to terminate the
agreement at will and without cause with five days written notice.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that The YMCA of Greater San Antonio be awarded the contract for the
maintenance and operations of the Schertz Area Senior Center, and that Council approve this
resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into the contract for services.

a. History & Mission
Since 1876, the YMCA of Greater San Antonio has been faithfully guided
by its Mission to put Judeo- Christian principles into practice through
YMCA of Greater San Antonio

programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The Y's impact
is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor
inspires a child and when a community comes together for the common
good. The Y is a cause - driven organization that is for youth
development, healthy living and social responsibility - because a
stronger community can only be achieved when we invest in our
children, our health and our neighbors.
In the past five years, The YMCA of Greater San Antonio has purposely

III. EXPERIENCE & BACKGROUND RELATED TO SCOPE OF WORK
a. Experience with Senior Services
YMCA of Greater San Antonio:
Currently, the YMCA of Greater San Antonio provides Active Older
Adults (AOA) programming onsite at all area Y facilities (including the
Schertz Family Y). AOA is an evidence -based health and wellness
program model specifically dedicated to improving overall health and
wellbeing to the senior population. Participants in AOA experience a
strong sense of belonging while building a network of friends who
provide supportive communities for sustained health and wellbeing.
All older adults benefit from engaging in activities that enhance or
maintain their overall wellbeing. The Y's AOA programs and activities
provide well - balanced, interesting, challenging, and safe activities that
enhance the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of older
adults. Holistic health programs provide active older adults with the
opportunity to build physiological, psychological, and social wellbeing.
Many older adults are seeking whole -self health and wellbeing. The
benefits of participation in AOA programs and activities include
improved sleep, cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength,
flexibility, balance, decreased chronic stress, and enhanced social
relationships.
By focusing on older adult health seekers, the YMCA is responding to
America's health crisis. The YMCA is in a unique position to proactively
influence the health and wellbeing of older adults. AOA holistic health
programs give older adults a sense of autonomy, mastery, and
relatedness. Older adults, individuals 55 and above, are a significant and
growing segment of our communities. All seniors served benefit from
engaging in YMCA activities that enhance connections, decreases a
sense of isolation, and improves overall wellbeing.
In addition to providing AOA programming in area Y facilities, the YMCA
of Greater San Antonio collaborates with the City of San Antonio in
providing this programming onsite at 12 public senior citizen centers
owned by the city. YMCA staff delivers the health and wellness
component of these centers, offering a total of 62 physical activity
classes weekly and "Health Checks" bimonthly amongst the 12 -
locations. Health Checks employ a health education component to the
seniors served; discussing topics such as healthy eating, chronic disease,
etc.
In relation to disease and health tribulations that often plague the
senior population, one of the YMCA full -time facilities, The Y Living
Center, is solely dedicated to the prevention, intervention, remedy and
elimination of chronic disease. The center harbors both the Y Living
Program, an evidence -based program targeting healthy eating and
physical activity in relation to Obesity and Cancer, and the Y Diabetes
Prevention Program, an evidence -based program in partnership with
MetroHealth and the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) to
prevent the onset of type -2 diabetes. Currently, the YMCA of Greater
San Antonio is working towards bringing these programs to all Y
facilities.
The YMCA of Greater San Antonio has partnered with the City of San
Antonio for 25+ years to provide quality programs in the areas of
education, family wellbeing, health and wellness, and community safety
net programming to communities throughout greater San Antonio. For
over 10+ years the YMCA has been a proud recipient of approximately
$1M annually in City of San Antonio (COSA) funding and support to
deliver vital programs and services to the community. The YMCA has
partnered with COSA to provide services to seniors through the Active
Older Adult program and children through the Y Strong Kids
(afterschool and summer) and Y Preschool institutions. These
partnerships have allowed the Y to serve over 1,575 individuals in the
2014 fiscal year.
WellMed Charitable Foundation (WCF):
Established in 2006 by Dr. George Rapier, the Foundation's mission is to
serve seniors and their caregivers with a special emphasis on living
with chronic conditions. The Foundation currently runs six
comprehensive senior community centers that emphasize holistic
health and wellness. The WCF has been operating two senior one -stops
as public /private partnership with the City of San Antonio. The Alicia
Trevino Lopez Center opened in July 2011, and the Doris Griffin Center
opened in January 2015 and already has over 1,800 members. Together
with the Elvira Cisneros Center, which is privately operated by the WCF,
the Foundation runs the 3 largest senior centers and the 3 largest
nutrition programs out of the over 70 centers in Bexar County. The
Foundation also runs smaller centers in Austin, Harlingen and McAllen.
The WCF is opening an intergenerational center in partnership with the
City of Corpus Christi in July 2015. All senior centers operated by the
Foundation are state -of -the -art centers, offering the latest in physical
fitness activities, the arts, evidence -based health promotion programs,
caregiver support services, socialization, and educational activities.
In addition to the senior centers, the Foundation also operates five (5)
Caregiver SOS centers in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. The Caregiver SOS program offers Wellness, Information,
Support, and Education (WISE) activities to support and develop WISE
caregivers. The Caregiver Specialists who are housed in these resource
centers have been cross - trained in a variety of evidence -based
programs including Chronic Disease and Diabetes Self - Management
Program, A Matter of Balance, and the Stress - Busting Program for
Family Caregivers. In addition, the Caregiver SOS Centers utilize a
variety of evidence -based caregiver assessments
IV. PROPOSED PROGRAM SCOPE OF WORK
a. Purpose
The purpose of this proposal is to identify the YMCA of Greater San
Antonio in collaboration with the WellMed Charitable Foundation as a
qualified party to enter into agreement with the City of Schertz, Texas to
manage and operate the Schertz Area Senior Center located at 608
Schertz Parkway, Schertz, Texas 78154.
b. Program Overview
Aligning with the purpose of managing and operating the Schertz Area
Senior Center, the YMCA of Greater San Antonio in collaboration with
the WellMed Charitable Foundation will provide continuation and
enhancement of programming to seniors residing in Schertz and the
surrounding communities. The center will harbor opportunities for
seniors to experience a strong sense of belonging while building a
network of friends who provide supportive communities for sustained
7
individual health and wellbeing. The Y recognizes that keeping older
adults healthy and active enriches entire communities because it
empowers them to participate more fully in their families and
neighborhoods.
The Y aims to utilize this unique opportunity to aid in the mobilization
of the interests, skills, talents and experiences of the senior population
of Schertz and surrounding areas. The Y will provide opportunities for
seniors to participate in the day -to -day operation of the center, further
enhancing a sense of pride and purpose. Direction will be sought out
from members via input survey solicitation both on a monthly basis by
program staff and at the leisure of the member. Surveys and requests
for programming will be of easy access at all times. With the direction of
the seniors, the Y will continue to populate the center with beloved and
new enriching activities, providing seniors with opportunities to
interact with peers, become involved in their community and to
participate in and contribute to the culture of the City of Schertz.
Under the Y's management, the senior center will continue to serve
citizens SS years and older, with leisure, wellness, civic, and educational
opportunities for the purpose of enriching quality of life, expanding
interest and offering exposure in areas identified by seniors in a safe
and wholesome environment. Currently the center occupies 481
members, with approximately 100 visitors daily (65 -80 receiving
participating in the meal plan). The YMCA of Greater San Antonio aims
to maintain and eventually increase center membership through
innovative programming and robust strategic community outreach.
c. Program Activities & Components
The YMCA of Greater San Antonio as lead management partner and
fiscal agent in collaboration with the WellMed Charitable Foundation
(WCF) will implement the following program activities and components
into the Schertz Area Senior Center (including, but not limited to):
Fitness, Health and Wellness -
The Y aims to inspire seniors to adopt a happy and healthy lifestyle
though innovative programming that is derived from the needs and
wants of those served. The fitness, health and wellness components of
the Senior Center's program -scope will include a vast array of activities
with comprehensive focus on wellbeing. On the premise of holistic
balance — spirit, mind and body — the programs offered at the center
Rl
will provide wellness education, promote physical activity, encourage
implementation skills, and create a culture for support and success.
Certified and trained Y Fitness Instructors will lead various exercise and
mobilization classes at the Schertz Area Senior Center to include (but
not limited to):
Gentle Yoga - movements, stretching, and balance designed for seniors.
Sit and Be Fit - exercise class designed to work on strength and motor

In addition to the above activities, it is the Y's objective to integrate a
new program into the center's activity -scope directly upon entrance
called Enhanced Fitness, an evidence -based program targeting seniors
who suffer from Chronic Arthritis. With Arthritis affecting 52.5 million
Americans, the Enhanced Fitness program model is systematical and
strictly monitored, consisting of three (3) 60- minute classes per week
spanning a 16 -week (or ongoing) time frame. Certified instructors lead
participants in curriculum -based low- intensity aerobic and strength
training style activities that are proven to strengthen the joints and
alleviate Arthritis - related pain and tension. With proven impact,
the Enhance Fitness program averages a 90% retention rate,
significantly decreases reported hospitalization rates amongst
participants, reduces participant healthcare costs, reduces disease -
related pain, improves mobility, causes elevation in mood, and
significant delay in disability.
Additionally, as an augmentation of the heath and wellness component,
the Y also has long -term goals of implementing both its Y Living and Y
Diabetes Prevention programs into the program -scope at the Schertz
Area Senior Center further enabling the center's continuum of care.

Nutrition -
The Nutrition and Lunch component of the program will be met as a
continuation of the senior center's previously established meal
program. The Y will enter into a partnership with the WellMed
Charitable Foundation (WCF) to serve as the lead entity in the nutrition
program based upon their extensive experience in managing
congregate meal programs under Title III of the Older Americans Act.
The WCF will provide a part -time coordinator tasked with overseeing
the meal program to ensure the provided meals all dietary and
11
regulatory compliance including meal program documentation, dietary
guidelines for healthy eating, and certification of the meal by a licensed
dietician. The Y and the WCF will continue to work with the Community
Council of South Central Texas (CCSCT) and /or the Alamo Area Council
of Governments Alamo Area Agency on Aging to ensure that seniors
receive a meal at no cost to the participants. A monthly meal menu will
be available in advance to all senior center members.
Additionally, the Y in collaboration with the WCF will provide
supplemental meals for members who cannot afford them and are not
eligible to receive free meals, and will supplement food items that are
not provided by the food vendor (i.e. salad, condiments, tea, etc.)
Furthermore, the WCF will look for opportunities for the food vendor to
augment the nutrition program with a Farmer's Market and occasional
special food items for special events.
Life Enrichment -
To further enhance the senior program -scope in the focus area of Life
Enrichment, the collaborative parties are also aiming to add additional
group recreational programming, offering senior members with
activities such as social clubs (ex. book club, collectors clubs, etc.),
volunteer activities, arts (drawing, painting, creative writing, poetry,
drama, etc.) quilt making, box gardening, etc. Social clubs reinforce the
Y's goals to help individuals improve and move to a higher state of well-
being by enhancing self- worth, fostering positive relationships,
improving holistic health, and inspiring leadership. Group activities
encourage senior social interaction by providing meaningful
engagement that enhance a sense of belonging, and provide
opportunities for involvement in program planning and delivery. Group
activities will also include recreational and team - building games such as
Poker, Pinochle, Ts Canasta (card games), Wii bowling and sports,
sewing, crafts, etc.
Taking an innovative angle, the Y in collaboration with the WCF will
implement a Senior Computer Literacy Program into the program -
scope. The program model is designed to introduce and /or enhance
basic computer technology knowledge for seniors. Necessary today,
seniors will be provided with increased access to computers with
instruction /education in general computer literacy skills geared toward
topics such as online bill -pay, prevention and protection against
identity theft, access to online healthcare options, and increased job
readiness for seniors who may still be in the work force. Additionally,
12
classes will cover necessary topics such as basic Internet navigation,
Microsoft Office applications, Photoshop, Skype, popular social media
programs, and email usage.
Peer discussion and support groups -
At any age, it is important to surround yourself with a group of
supportive individuals. Support groups can make a tremendous
difference in how seniors cope with the life changes aging presents.
Peer discussion and support groups will be offered to senior center
members on a weekly basis as a dedicated time of discussion and
support. Groups will discuss topics of interest including senior benefits,
healthcare, disease - prevention and management, stress - relieving and
relaxation techniques, etc. Most seniors in support groups report
emotional benefits from interacting with others in their situation, and
participation has proved to strengthen compliance with physicians'
recommendations.
In addition to general senior support groups, WCF will offer a
comprehensive array of support services for senior caregivers through
its Caregiver SOS Resource Centers including wellness activities,
information on local resources, support group meetings, and education
on a variety of caregiving topics. They offer several evidence -based
programs including the Stress - busting Program for Caregivers of
Persons with Dementia, and the Stress - busting Program for Caregivers
of Persons with Chronic Conditions. This nine -week program was
developed at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San
Antonio and is proven to reduce stress, anxiety, anger and improve
quality of life. Participants learn eight stress - reduction techniques that
they are able to incorporate into their caregiving journey. These classes
are available in English and Spanish. They can also provide access to the
Caregiver Teleconnection, a no -cost education and support program for
geographically and socially isolated caregivers. The Y Director and WCF
Coordinator will maintain a regular calendar of caregiver activities at
the Schertz Area senior center.
Information and Access to Services and Community Resource and
Programs (including counseling services, legal services, medical care, and
financial assistance) -
The WCF program coordinator will provide seniors access to a Social
Programs Call Center, a dedicated call center for free qualification and
renewals to the Medicare Savings Programs including the Low - Income
Subsidy, Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) Program, Specified Low -
Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB) Program, Qualifying Individual
(QI) Program, and assistance with enrollment and re- certification for
Medicaid. Assistance is .available at no cost in Spanish and English.
In collaboration, the YMCA and WCF will also work with community
partners to provide legal clinics, advance planning, financial
management, alternatives to guardianship, and economic security
initiatives developed through the National Council on the Aging
including the Benefits Checkup screening process and the Economic
Security Checkup.
Special Events & Outings /Field Trips-
Program activities will allot time and funding to host special events and
outings /field trips for center members. Special events will include
community holiday parties (communal festivities for Halloween,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.), monthly birthday parties, member of the
month recognition, etc. In addition to special events, special day- trips,
outings and field trips will be organized quarterly for members. Trips

residents, the power of local associations, and the existing community
strengths to build stronger, more sustainable programs. Such assets in
the city of Schertz and surrounding areas include the community center,
public library, school district, local businesses, and local retirees. In
collaboration, the Y will utilize the resources of each of these assets in
efforts to paint the Schertz Area Senior Center and local Y as a hub for
local seniors. This intergenerational vision will unify all age groups
allowing them to learn from each other and enjoy different perspectives
and shared activities.
