Health and Safety Code is required to seek approval of its annual
nmental entities for which it provides 911 services. This is done to
; under the umbrella of this organization have an opportunity to
in the operation and focus of the agency providing 911 services.
In previous years; the City of Schertz has taken advantage of this by working with other
Metro -com cities to seek dollars for differing projects that would improve the public safety
dispatch operations in the City and our region. These actions were instrumental in the
development of a Bexar Metro 911 grant program to improve and upgrade dispatch operations
that the City has been able to take advantage of on 2 separate occasions.
For Fiscal Year 2017, Bexar Metro 911 will be concentrating on getting its new Regional 911
Operations Center up and operational. This 91.1 communications center will have the capacity
to host multiple agency dispatch centers in the event of an emergency that makes their normal
locations untenable. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office and Bexar County Fire Alarm will be

Staff recommends adding a council meeting on August 30, 2016 for the budget and tax rate

also recommended to cancel the August 2, 2016 council meeting.
In the past, August has been the month were the City goes through the budget and tax rate
adoption process in a way that meets state statutes and the directive cif our own City Charter.
Our normal structure plan is to adopt both the budget and tax,, rate on the first Tuesday of
September. This year there are 5 Tuesdays in August which jeans the last Tuesday there
would not be a council meeting. The last Tuesday in August is, r ormally the second public
hearing, which is required to have prior to the adoption of a rate above the effective tax rate.
Even if the City recommends to adopt a tax rate below the effective," rate it has been our
practice to hold these public hearings to provide two -way communication with our citizens.
If the City cannot hold the second public hearing on the
schedule would be pushed back one week. Staff reeomme,

recommended to restrict parking in front of the mail kiosk on Tractor Pass.
Engineering and public Works recommend special parking restrictions in front of the kiosk on
Tractor Pass, limiting parking to 5 minutes, for the purpose of mail pickup and drop -off. The
goal is to ensure that residents can access their mail kiosk.
Council expressed their opinions about why the Ordinance doesn't apply to every mail kiosk
in the city. Councilmember Azzoz recommended tabling this until later to make it inclusive in
all neighborhoods rather than in just one specific area. Ms. Palomo stated that TSAC did
recommend this action. Executive Director Brian James stated that at this time there have
been no other complaints. If Council wants to table this, staff would have to go out and look at
06 -07 -2016 Minutes Page - 8 -
each circumstance and come back with a comprehensive recommendation so they could tailor
them to the specifics of each neighborhood. Mayor Pro -Tern Edwards stated he feels we
should pass this one now for this neighborhood and then staff could come back later with a

the License and Management Agreements with the YMCA f6r Operation and Maintenance of
the Recreation Center, Outdoor Pools, Splash Pad, Enclosed Community Swimming Pool of
J
Competition Quality, and Indoor Recreation Pool. (B.ames /B. Jambs)',
The following was read into record:
RESOLUTION NO. 16-
CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
AGREEMENTS WITH THE
)NS OF THE RECREATION
' NCILOSED COMMUNTY
AD INDOOR RECREATION
In speaking with Bond Counsel, a recommendation was made to adjust language in Section 7
(a) and'(b ),yyith regard to the bond issuance by the City to provide overall lower costs. These
provisions r f xencc th City issuing approximately $2,000,000 in bonds to be used for the
project that allows for the additional body of water to be included in the project. This
additional body o f water is better suited to be used by more members of the community —
seniors, small children, etc. for water aerobics, beginning swim lessons, water therapy, etc.
than the body of water that is of competition quality.
To summarize the past discussion, constructing the indoor recreation pool necessitates the
City, in partnership with the YMCA who will pay $2,000,000 over twenty years to go toward
the debt service of the approximately $2 million bonds.
The two agreements are for 20 years, but allow the City to close either or both of the two
outdoor pools. While there is no plan to close either outdoor pool, this provision provides
06 -07 -2016 Minutes Page - 9 -
flexibility to the City. The agreements continue the membership plan for use of the recreation
center and adds access to the competition pool and recreation pools. The agreement also
provides for a day pass to the pool at a cost of $6.00 per day for residents ($15.00 for a family
that lives in Schertz).
The goal is to maximize the benefit to the citizens by extending the license agreement for the
Recreation Center and management agreement for the two Outdoor Pools, and entering into a
license agreement for the community swimming pool of competition quality and indoor
recreation pool. The community will benefit from this new indoor Aquatic Facility containing
a community pool of competition quality and a second pool that will, be suitable for a variety
of uses as well as experienced proven management of all of tie, facilities. Staff recommends
approval of Resolution No. 16 -R -41.
Mr. James answered questions from Council regarding the future payments the City will make
to the YMCA for operating the aquatic facility arx what the feeslliarges will be to the

recommended to restrict parking in front of the mail kiosk on Tractor Pass.

RESOLUTION NO. 16 -R -42-
CONSIDERATION AND
APPROVAL OF A
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO
ISSUE ONE OR MORE SERIES
OF CERTIFICATES OF
OBLIGATION BY THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SCHERTZ, TEXAS
This resolution would allow the City to issue a Notice of Intent to sell Certificates of
Obligation in July to provide the remaining funding for the natatorium, to begin the first
piece of road repairs identified in the Pavement Condition Analysis, and to provide repairs
and renovations to municipal buildings.
BACKGROUND
First, these certificates would allow the City to fund the last $2 million of the pool. The debt
service for this issuance will be partially offset by annual contributions from the YMCA
throughout the life of the bond.
Second, the certificates would pay for the first $1 million road rehabilitation project that will be
identified by the Pavement Condition Analysis. Additional issuances will be planned as the study
comes to completion and additional debt capacity is made available. The goal being to prevent an
increase in the debt tax rate by issuing smaller amounts over a period of time rather than a large
amount up front.
Finally, there would also be funds made available to repair and renovate existing municipal
buildings. The largest of these projects would be the $650,000 for the YMCA window
replacement. This project was approved by Resolution 16 -R -27 and was intended to be funded
entirely by a debt issuance. Due to timing issues, payments were planned to be paid from fund
balance until the debt could be issued. All expenditures out of fund balance for the project will
be returned upon the issuance of the debt.
50077367.2
The remaining $250,000 would be used to renovate municipal buildings that support city
operations to accommodate growing staff and changing needs. Areas under consideration include
Building #1 Lobby, Building #1 Court, Building #2 Human Resources, Building #2 Mayor's
Office, Building #2 Drainage, Community Center Roof, Civic Center office spaces, Fire Station
#2, and the Council Chambers. This amount would include design and construction. Not all areas
may be considered with this round of funding as the final list is dependent on the price of the
design and estimated construction cost of each area.
FISCAL IMPACT
The authorization of the Notice of Intention Resolution will not have a fiscal impact. The
Resolution only alerts the Citizens that the proposed projects will be considered and a Certificate
of Obligation will be approved on July 26, 2016. . When the CO's are approved, along with the
GO Bond, it is estimated that there will be little to no impact on the I &S Tax Rate.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving the Notice of Intention Resolution, publishing the Notice of
Intention, and to authorize the consultants to move forward with the issuance of Certificates of
Obligation (along with the General Obligation Bonds) scheduled to sell on July 26th

Subject:
BACKGROUND
Engineering
Conduct a Public Hearing and Consideration
and/or action approving Resolution No. 16-
R-44 Authorizing the filing of a petition for
injunctive relief to gain necessary access for
determining the location of an easement and
the future use of the power of eminent
domain to acquire easements necessary for
the Woman Hollering Creek Wastewater
Line Project and other matters in connection
therewith.
The City of Schertz desires to construct a sanitary sewer system to collect and convey
wastewater to the future Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA) water reclamation plant to
be constructed off of Trainer Hale Road in southern Schertz. On September 29, 2015, City
Council authorized approval of a contract with Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc., (Cobb
Fendley) to provide engineering design services related to the system. An early, critical phase of
the design process is on- the - ground data collection including topographic survey, geotechnical
sampling, and environmental investigation. The purpose of this phase is twofold. The results of
the survey will provide information needed to more specifically define the location of the line
and associated necessary permanent and temporary easements in order to minimize any potential
adverse impacts. Additionally, the data collected will be used for construction design of the
system.
In order to gain access to private properties across which the line is expected to be constructed,
property owners were contacted by mailed letter in December, 2015, and were asked to grant
access via a signed right of entry form. Most affected property owners agreed to grant access but
several property owners have either verbally denied or have been unresponsive to requests. (To
be clear, the granting of the right of entry does not imply acceptance or agreement to grant an
easement across property for construction of the system. It only provides the City access for the
purpose of surveying and data collection.)
An informational open house meeting was held on January 20, 2016, to which all directly
impacted property owners were invited. Individual and smaller group meetings were held at
various properties along the project route in February and March, 2016. Public Hearings
regarding the project were held by City Council on April 12, May 10, and May 24, 2016. A
notice regarding this resolution was sent on June 8, 2016, to property owners who have not yet
provided express permission for the City and its contractors to access their property.
Goal
This Resolution will allow the City to exercise its implied statutory authority to conduct the
survey and data gathering activities necessary to define the specific location and design of the
Woman Hollering Creek Wastewater Line Project.
Community Benefit
The project will provide the backbone of a wastewater collection system (an essential service for
the community) that will serve an area of 4,653 acres. Surveying and assessing natural features
along the general proposed route of the line is critical to the proper planning, design, and
construction of the project. Resolution 16 -R -44 directly supports the City's core values of Safe
Community and Essential Services while the proper location and construction of the Woman
Hollering Creek Wastewater Line project will ultimately contribute to the values of high quality
of life, economic prosperity, and fiscal sustainability.
FISCAL IMPACT
The budget for the Woman Hollering Creek Wastewater Line project includes $210,000 for
easement acquisition and contingency (separate from construction contingency). The project is
being funded with a combination of Capital Recovery and Certificates of Obligation
Funds/Water Revenue.
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 16 -R -44
ATTACHMENTS
Resolution 16 -R -44
Exhibit A — Description of Activities
Exhibit B — Project Location
WHEREAS, eminent domain proceedings in the State of Texas are governed by Chapter
21 of the Texas Property Code; and
WHEREAS, under that code a governmental entity exercising the power of eminent
domain must first authorize the initiation of the condemnation proceeding at a public meeting by
a record vote adopting a resolution, ordinance, or order; and
WHEREAS, to address the ongoing wastewater needs of the City of Schertz, the City is
constructing the Woman Hollering Creek Wastewater Line improvements to complete a
connection to transfer wastewater to a treatment facility; and

permanent pipeline easements held by the City or in new permanent easements which will be
owned by the City; and
WHEREAS, the proposed easements which will be held by the City will be located in a
manner to minimize impacts on the properties; and
WHEREAS, to facilitate the construction of the pipeline improvements and
appurtenances, temporary construction easements will also be obtained adjacent to the permanent
easements to provide the Contractor with adequate space for construction activities; and
WHEREAS, because this project involves the health safety and welfare of the public,
time is of the essence, and the City of Schertz finds it necessary to gain access to certain
properties to complete surveying, geotechnical testing, soil sampling, appraisal activities and
other necessary activities to determine the best route for the pipeline; and
WHEREAS, while many property owners have granted the City access for these
activities, some property owners have not granted access; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the City will need to obtain an injunction to gain access
and then seek further authority from the City Council following a survey to begin the eminent
domain process to condemn the temporary and permanent easements for the placement of the
pipelines and appurtenances.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS:
Part 1: That the City of Schertz, Texas is hereby authorized to seek injunctive relief to gain
access for the activities listed in Exhibit A, on properties for which express permission has not
been granted, for the pipeline project depicted and described in Exhibit B.
Part 2. That the City of Schertz finds that to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens
of the City of Schertz it may use of the power of eminent domain to acquire permanent and
temporary easements for the pipeline project depicted and described in Exhibit B for the public
purpose of construction of pipelines and appurtenances necessary to transfer wastewater to a
treatment facility.
Part 3. That the City of Schertz may authorize the use of eminent domain by separate action once
the activities listed in Exhibit A are complete and specific easement path has been determined.
