ORDINANCE NO. 16 -S -34
AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP BY REZONING APPROXIMATELY 8
ACRES OF LAND FROM SINGLE - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL / AGRICULTURAL
DISTRICT, (R -A) TO NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DISTRICT (NS).
Mayor Carpenter recognized Planner I Emily Grobe who stated Foresight Group, Inc. is
requesting to rezone approximately 8 acres of land from Single Family Residential/
1.0 -11 -2016 Minutes Page - 5 -
Agricultural (R -A) to Neighborhood Services (NS). There currently is a house on the property
that will be demolished with the redevelopment of this property.
The public hearing notice was published in "The Daily Commercial Recorder" on September
16, 2016 and the "Herald" on September 21, 2016. Thirty -three (33) public hearing notices
were mailed to surrounding property owners within two hundred (200) feet of the subject
property on September 1, 2016, prior to the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting that
took place on September 14, 2016. . At the time of this report being prepared, staff received
three (3) responses in favor and four (4) responses opposed to the request.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan section which describes this area was adopted in 2002. At
that time the* subject property and surrounding area were zoned for single - family residential
uses. No City initiated zonings were undertaken to rezone these properties from residential to
industrial and subsequently the adjacent area developed as single - family residential with the
creation of the Belmont Park, and Riata Subdivisions, whose master development plans were
approved in 2003 and 2006 respectively. The development of the Riata and Belmont Park
subdivisions created a change in conditions for the surrounding area and for the subject
property.
The 2013 . Schertz Sector Plan amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan focused on
the northern and southern areas of Schertz and did not examine this area. Since the Schertz
Sector Plan amendment did not review this area, the subject property along with the Riata and
1.0 -11 -201.6 Minutes Page - 6 -
Belmont Park Subdivisions are still identified on the Future Land Use Plan as Industrial use
despite being single family. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan specifically describes that
industrial zoning should not be directly adjacent to residential uses. As such Staff looked to
the Comprehensive Plan as a whole to offer guidance.
The hard corner of FM 1.103 and Old Wiederstein Road is what the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan would consider a node for commercial development. In keeping with the commercially
desired land use described in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Neighborhood Services is an
alternative that would allow for limited service and retail uses to more conveniently
accommodate the needs of the nearby residential uses and existing "' commercial uses.
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted the public herring on September 14, 2016 .
and offered a recommendation of approval by a unanimous vote. Staff recommends approval
of the rezoning request based on its compatibility with the adjacent" land uses and compliance
with the Comprehensive Land Plan. Ms. Grobe addressed comments and questions from
Council.
Mayor Carpenter opened the public hearing and recognized the following:
Carpenter recognized Mr. Patrick Christianson who stated that they are primarily
ra a CVS Pharmacv.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who moved, seconded by Mayor Pro -
Tem Edwards to approve Ordinance No. 16 -5 -34 first reading. The vote was unanimous

pertains to the investigation into the murder of Henry Gutierrez. (Mayor /Council)
1.0 -11 -201.6 Minutes Page - 7 -
Mayor Carpenter stated that this is not something that they have done often. He said the
discussion this evening is about whether or not we are going to put this item on a future
agenda—it is not a time to discuss the merits or things they might discuss under a regular
agenda item. Any philosophical discussion should be limited and/or handled under Item 9.
Councilmember Azzoz stated that last week he simply requested this be put on the agenda to
ask the City Manager to ask the Chief of Police to ask for outside help in this matter. He did
not recall asking for it to be a discussion. Mayor Carpenter responded that he had then stated
we will put this on the agenda for discussion of whether it should be placed on an agenda and
no one objected at that time. He feels this is the appropriate course ,o action now.
Councilmember Fowler stated he thinks it is not appropriate, "a they cannot take any action
against the Police Department. Councilmember Thompson I "said Ite-does not believe the City
Council has the expertise, training, background, etc. 1f they adopt this it will go against what
is stated in the City Charter as to what Council may and may not do.
Councilmember Thompson who moved, seconded by
lace an item ,6r,items on a future city council agenda for the

Workshop
• Presentation and discussion regarding a planned comprehensive benefit review for all City
employees and how this relates to recent inquiries regarding certification and `step -up' pay
and other related matters. (D. Wait /J. Kurz)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Executive Director Dudley Wait who stated that two weeks ago
we had a presentation regarding the employee engagement surrey. Out of that we saw that a
lot of our engagement scores had gone up; actually most bf them did. We had a little
reordering in our lower scores. Pay, of course, was still the' lowest t 277 out of 500, Internal
Communication was up from last time, but was the second lowest at 316 and Benefits came in
next at 351 out of 500. Those were the three lowest scores. One of the things that the
leadership team has committed to during this next year that we have shared with the
employees is that we are going to be doing ari"overall benefit survey. At that sAnie,meeting, at
the end, Councilmember Fowler brought UP sorry ;concerns'legarding certification pay, step
up pay or employees doing the job when the person uhqjs supposed to be doing the job has a
day off, the education and how we train employees and how we allow them to use those skills
that they are trained to do. What we decided and thought, is bringing back to council an
outline of what our review is going to,l -valve regarding the over all benefit situation.
The benefits that the employees of the City of Sphertz receive are extensive. Normal benefits
people think about are health and medical, vision, dental, and retirement benefits through
TMRS, which are outstanding for our employees, and additional retirement benefits that they
are allowed to participate iii ''We also have'll kinds of supplemental insurance programs such
as cafeteria plays; either a rndical type of insurance, out of work insurance like Affleck and
others. We have' ah emnlovee assistance nro ram that allows un to eight free counseling
Looking" through all of,these we felt we could address Councilmember Fowler's concern a
little bit, but We, think the issue he was speaking specifically to goes to the overarching issue
that we have as a City with certification pay and those types of benefits.
The City has grown into a number of these things that the employees see as benefits now over
the last 60 years that the City has been here. Some of them, like holiday pay, vacation /sick
pay - those are significantly explained in policy. Others as they came up over time were not
so well engrained in policy and some of those were some of the issues Councilmember Fowler
brought up. When you are looking at this, one of the things we have struggled with as a
leadership team is exactly how do we move forward in some of those arenas? We opted, even
during the budget process, when a number of these certification pay type questions came up,
to just put those on hold until we could do the benefits review. We believe it is important to
look at this, and he stated that as an example, we have paramedics that work for the city; we
1.0 -11 -201.6 Minutes Page - 9 -
also have a hand full of paramedics that work for Schertz Fire Department. They are certified,
they get credentialed by the medical director Dr. Butter to operate as a paramedic on a first
responder unit. In other words, the fire engine or squad goes out of the fire station with a
paramedic on it and they can operate as a paramedic exactly the same as a paramedic on an
ambulance; they just don't transport them to the hospital. They stabilize them and get them
ready to be put on the ambulance when it comes in and the ambulance transports them to the
hospital. For doing this our Fire Department Paramedics receive certification pay. On the
other hand, the EMS Paramedic employees do not receive certification pay because their job
description makes them a paramedic. Mr. Wait continued with his examples of certification
and certification pay received by various employees. Mr. Wait stated that certification pay has
a lot of different avenues and areas to it.
Mr. Wait stated that in his prediction, as they go through the benefits survey and benefits
review it will probably be the place that we spend the most amount,of our time because it is a
very broad, complicated and intricate place that we f rid ourselves in. 'Tbre may be things we
may need to undo and there may be things we need to implement. Our belief in going through
this is putting a team together to start this review is that we are going to divide this up into a
number of areas and start the review comparing ourselves with other cities' as well as
comparing ourselves with departments and internal departments within the city.
Members of Council provided their comments of appreciation regarding the update and for the
vast and large amount of work that will need to be done to accomplish the overall review.
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

Discussion and Action Items
4. Certificate of, Approval — Consideration and/or action approving the Mayor of the City of
Schertz to exeele abd sign the Certificate of Approval regarding Tax - Exempt Financing for
the Archbishop 'ofthe Archdiocese of San Antonio, particularly as pertains to Saint John Paul
II Catholic High School in Schertz. (Mayor Carpenter)
Mayor Carpenter stated he received an email of request from the Archdiocese of San Antonio
requesting approval of a proposed tax - exempt bond issue associated with St. John Paul II
Catholic High School in Schertz, as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code "). The bonds will not be a debt or liability of the City of Schertz. The
consent being requested is for the purposes of complying with federal tax law regarding tax -
exempt financing.
10 -11 -2016 Minutes Page - 11 -
St. John Paul 11 Catholic High School is a qualified 501(e) 3 charitable organization, and
therefore is eligible to participate in tax - exempt financings. However, unlike a governmental
issuer (e.g., a city or public school district), 501(c) 3 organizations must issue bonds through a
state - approved conduit and must conduct a public hearing on the financing. Since the campus
is located in the City of Schertz, Internal Revenue Code § 147(f) requires that the "highest
elected official" of the City approve the transaction after the public hearing is held. The
public hearing was held on October 6, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., at St. John Paul 11 Catholic High
School, 6720 FM 482, New Braunfels, Texas, 78132.
St. John Paul II Catholic High School is re- financing existing debt,,, the proceeds of which
were used to finance the cost of acquiring the Saint John ,paul 11 Catholic High School
Campus located at 6720 FM 482; and paying certain expenses in connection with the
issuance. Mayor Carpenter stated that this item is similarJo the,one regarding the school on
FM 1518 they approved.
Mayor Carpenter Mated there is a window to canvass the result of the upcoming election and it
is recommended: that they call ,a special meeting on Monday, November 21, 2016 in order to
accomplish this.
6. Cancellation of the November 22, 2016 City Council Meeting — Consideration and /or
action cancelling 'Ith November 22, 2016 City Council meeting. (J. Kessel/B. Dennis)
Mayor Carpenter stated City Staff has found there are no items to be presented to Council for
action, and as practice, Council has usually cancelled the meeting the week of the
Thanksgiving holiday.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson who moved, seconded by Mayor
Pro -Tem Edwards to cancel the November 22, 2016 City Council meeting. The vote was
unanimous with Mayor Pro -Tem Edwards, Councilmembers Fowler, Azzoz, John and
Thompson voting for and no one voting no. Motion passed.

9. Discussion regarding the City Charter, the general and specific role or roles of the City
Council - Including the aggregate view of the current members as to the proper exercise of
the powers afforded to the City Council, as a body, by the City Charter and State Law.
(Mayor /Council)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who stated he feels it is appropriate for
City Council to ask a City Manager or City Secretary or Judge to act on a council request.
They work at the will of council. Councilmember Fowler responded that he disagrees. They
do not micro - manage their City Manager. However, if they see something that is not right, they
have a right to discuss it (maybe in Executive Session) to examineii in more detail. If we have
a problem, the city manager needs to be allowed a chance to resolve it.
Councilmember John stated he thinks it would be
executive session) with the city manager because
of one of his departments. Mayor Pro -Tem Edwar
and discuss their roles further, but on the dais is rib
Councilmember Thompson stated he thinks what'
through a job description, periodic evaluation,
instructing employees from the dais is crossing the
Councilmember Azzoz spoke once again and continued to clarify his request of simply asking
f ci
the City Manager to speak with the Chief Police to ensure the- department investigators are
taking advantage of all available options of outsides assistance to help solve an open unsolved
high profile criminal case. Dialogue and personal opinion continued between councilmembers.
Mayor Carpenter 6bserved', that they appear to have a difference of opinion as to the role of
council. In the, when they were a general law city, the mayor /council generally told the
staff how to' do their job(s); In 1973/1974 the' people of this city decided to switch to a
council /manager form; of go erntint where council becomes a policy making body.
ayor /council overnm nt the mayor is essentially all powerful and can instruct everyone
everything. Th,challene when you have an elected body giving direction to individual
)ers on how to do their job is you move into a potential for cronyism and a level of
,rence that can result in chaos.
The idea of the councillinanager form of government is to have a third party run the affairs of
the city in a manner that is not subject to the whims of the elected officials. It is a kind of
protectionist type ofmodel. The people of Schertz adopted that and have given us direction on
how we are supposed to function in our charter. Stepping away from that would produce other
serious challenges. It is not our purview to change the form and function of government from
the dais; that belongs to the voters themselves. This is why he has a concern with the idea of
instructing the city manager publicly to instruct a department head to take or not take an
action. A public statement like telling the city manager to tell someone to do something may
bring real doubt where there should not be any.
As there were no further comments or action from council, Mayor Carpenter moved to the roll
call vote.

Ordinance No. 16 -S -34 — Consideration .
and /or action on a request to rezone
approximately 8 acres of land generally
located at the Northwest Corner of FM 1103
and Old Wiederstein, from Single Family
Residential / Agriculture (R -A) to
Neighborhood Services (NS). The property
is specifically described as 7.128 acres out
of the Rafael. Garza Survey No. 98, Abstract
No. 138, City of Schertz, Guadalupe
County, Texas. (Final Reading)
Foresight Group, Inc. is requesting to rezone approximately 8 acres of land from Single Family
Residential / Agricultural (R -A) to Neighborhood Services (NS). There is currently a house on
the property that will be demolished with the redevelopment of this property.
The public hearing notice was published in "The Daily Commercial Recorder" on September 16,
2016 and the "Herald" on September 21, 2016. Thirty -three (33) public hearing notices were
mailed to surrounding property owners within two hundred (200) feet of the subject property on
September 1, 2016, prior to the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting that took place on
September 14, 2016. At the time of this report being prepared, Staff received three (3) responses
in favor and four (4) responses opposed to the request.
City Council approved this on first reading at the meeting of October 11, 2016.
Goal
Foresight Group, Inc. is requesting to rezone the property in order to develop as a commercial
use.
City Council Memorandum
Page 2
Community Benefit
It is the City's desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with
the City's vision of future growth.
Summary of Recommended Action
The Comprehensive Land Plan identifies the subject property as Industrial which is intended to
maintain lower intensity industrial, flex office, and logistics uses. This land use designation
allows for both small, incremental development and large development of area with light
industrial and commercial uses.
• Comprehensive Land Plan Goals and Objectives: The proposed rezoning request is
generally in conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan. The proposed zone change supports the commercial use that the Future Land Use
Plan calls for in this area. The Neighborhood Services zoning district would allow for the
commercial use desired per the Comprehensive Land Plan at a lower intensity than the
primary industrial zoning.
• Impact on Infrastructure: The proposed zoning request should have a minimal impact on
the existing and planned water and wastewater systems. The project is within the City of
Schertz service area.
• Impact on Public Facilities /Services: The proposed rezoning request should have a
minimal impact on public services, such as schools, fire, police, parks and sanitation
services.
• Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: The subject property is
currently surrounded by single - family residential, Right -of. -Way, and manufacturing. The
surrounding area including the Single- Family Residential are all identified on the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan to have the same industrial land use designation. The
proposed Neighborhood Services zoning conforms with the intent of the Industrial land
use designation while providing a more compatible land use to the adjacent residential.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan section which describes this area was adopted in 2002, at
that time the subject property and surrounding area were zoned for single - family residential uses.
No City initiated zonings were undertaken to rezone these properties from residential to
industrial and subsequently the adjacent area developed as single - family residential with the
creation of the Belmont Park, and Riata Subdivisions, whose master development plans were
approved in 2003 and 2006 respectively. The development of the Riata and Belmont Park
subdivisions created a change in conditions for the surrounding area and for the subject property.
The 2013 . Schertz Sector Plan amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan focused on the
northern and southern areas of Schertz and did not examine this area. Since the Schertz Sector
Plan amendment did not review this area, the subject property along with the Riata and Belmont
Park Subdivisions are still identified on the Future Land Use Plan as Industrial use despite being
single family. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan specifically describes that industrial zoning
City Council Memorandum
Page 3
should not be directly adjacent to residential uses. As such Staff looked to the Comprehensive
Plan as a whole to offer guidance.
The hard corner of FM 1103 and Old Wiederstein Road is what the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan would consider a node for commercial development. In keeping with the commercially
desired land use described in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Neighborhood Services is an
alternative that would allow for limited service and retail uses to more conveniently
accommodate the needs of the nearby residential uses and existing commercial uses.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted the public hearing on September 14, 2016 and
offered a recommendation of approval by a unanimous vote. City Council approved this on first
reading by a unanimous vote on October 11, 2016.
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request based its compatibility with the adjacent land
uses and compliance with the Comprehensive Land Plan.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: October 25, 2016 .
Department: Public Works — Waste Water
Subject: Resolution 16 -R -81 - Consideration and
approval by the City Council of the City of
Schertz, Texas authorizing the City Manager to
enter into an agreement with A.U.C. Group LP for
the lease of a pre - packaged sewer treatment plant
to expand waste water treatment capacity at the
Woman Hollering Treatment Plant
BACKGROUND
In 2006 when the Sedona Subdivision was established off of Lower Seguin Road, the City entered into an
agreement to provide a temporary waste water treatment plant located near Woman Hollering Creek until
a permanent waste water plant could be constructed. As Sedona transitioned to CrossVine the City
maintained this commitment including agreeing to expand this temporary plant as necessary to provide
treatment capacity as the development expanded.
The current pre - packaged treatment plant (train) has a regulated treatment capacity of 46,000 gallons a
day. Current waste water flows surpassed 75% of this capacity in June, 2016 . and TCEQ regulations
require that a plan to expand the treatment capacity be developed. The plan is to place a second train with
an additional 46,000 gallons a day capacity to increase the total treatment capacity for CrossVine at
92,000 gallons. Since June, the waste water flows have continued to increase and it is anticipated that the
flows will surpass the current train's treatment capacity in early 2017.
Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA) currently operates this plant for the City. CCMA has worked
to locate a second train that can be leased by the City. This train is currently available and work to
prepare the site and install the second train will begin immediately once the proposed lease is approved
and signed.
With the current and planned continued development in CrossVine, it is anticipated that we will need to
provide further expansion to this temporary treatment plant before the new permanent waste water
treatment plant is constructed and operational off of Trainer Hale Road.
Goal
To provide safe, efficient and compliant waste water treatment for the CrossVine Development through
the use and expansion of a temporary pre - packaged waste water treatment plant.
Summary of Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into this
agreement with A.U.0 Group LP.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact will be a total two year cost of $511,700. This includes design, engineering, site
preparation and the actual lease cost of the second train ($10,400 per month). These funds will be paid
from the sewer fund.

will thereupon acquire all of the rights and remedies possessed by or available to the
Lessor. Upon receiving proper notice of any such assignment, the Lessee will thereafter
make Lease Payments as in directed in that notice.
SECTION OF
The following events will be deemed to be events of default by the Lessee under this
Lease Agreement:
a) Lessee fails to pay any Lease Payments during initial term and that failure
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Lessee's receipt of written notice
from Lessor of lack of receipt of a Lease Payment.
b) Lessee fails to comply with any other term, provision, or covenant of this Lease
Agreement and does not cure that failure within thirty (30) days after Lesee's
receipt of written notice of the specific failures to comply from Lessor.
Upon the occurrence of any such events of default, Lessor will have the right to
declare the balance of the rental payable under this Lease Agreement to be due and
payable whereupon the that amount will become immediately due and payable, and Lessor
will have the right to retake and retain the Leased Property should the Lessee fail to make
payment of the outstanding balance within ten (10) business days of written notice of such
default delivered to Lessee by certified mail If Lessor retaken the Leased Property under
Page 8 of 13
this Section and releases the Leased Property to a third party, then the Lease Payments
that Lessor receives for that releasing will be offsets to the amount Lessee owes Lessor
under this Section, which Lessor will pay to Lessee, if Lessee has paid the remaining
balance due Lessor under this Lease Agreement. If Lessor receives any notice of default
under its purchase money mortgage or another item which might become a Tien on the
Leased Property, Lessor will promptly provide Lessee with a copy of that notice within three
(3) business days of Lessor's receipt. Additionally, Lessor agrees to furnish Lessee, on
demand, satisfactory evidence of payment of each installment due on the purchase money
mortgage and of any other items that might become a lien on the Leased Property. For the
purpose of this Lease Agreement, satisfactory evidence of payment will be deemed to be a
copy of the check sent to the proper party. If Lessor fails to make such payments, together
with any interest or penalty, required to be paid in connection with such payments, the
Lessee will have the right to make such payments, and thus may deduct those amounts any
Lease Payments that thereafter may become due under this Agreement. However, the
Lessee will not be authorized and empowered to make any payment under the terms of this
Paragraph 14 unless the item paid will be superior to the Lessee's interest under this
Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease Agreement, each provision of this
Agreement or of any applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations, and other
requirements with reference to the sending, mailing, or delivery of any notice or Lessor's
making of any payment to the Lessee or with reference to the sending, mailing, or delivery
of any notice or Lessor's making of any payment to the Lessor will be deemed to be
complied with, when and if the following steps are taken:
a) All lease and other payments that Lessee must make to Lessor hereunder will be
payable to Lessor at the Houston, Texas address set forth below, or at such other
address as Lessor may specify from time to time by written notice delivered to
Lessor in accordance with this Section.
Page 9 of 13
b) Any notice or document required or permitted to be delivered under this
Agreement, except for the notice of payment required pursuant to this Section 5,
will be deemed to be delivered upon actual receipt by the Parties at the

Texas, and the Schertz/Seguin Local Government
Corporation; authorizing the Mayor, the City
Manager, and the City Secretary of the City of
Schertz, Texas to execute on behalf of the City of
Schertz, Texas all documents in connection with
the transaction; and other matters in connection
therewith
The Schertz Seguin. Local Government Corporation (SSLGC) was founded in 1999 as a non - profit water
supply corporation by the cities of Schertz and Seguin. This partnership has successfully delivered high
quality drinking water to both cities since 2003.
During this time, as the City of Schertz has grown and SSLGC has contracted with other communities for
both drinking water as well as transporting other entities drinking water, it has become obvious that time
for expansion has arrived.
For the last five years, the SSLGC has been planning and beginning development on two projects. The
first is a second well field located in Guadalupe County, just over the border from our Gonzalez well
fields. This 2"d field will eventually deliver an additional 5 -6,000 acre feet of drinking water which will
become necessary for Schertz to continue to provide adequate levels of drinking water to its citizens.
Additionally, in 2011, SSLGC entered into an agreement to treat and transport 12,000 acre feet of water
for the San Antonio Water System (SAWS). The SAWS water, from their own well field, currently takes
up approximately 50% of the pipeline capacity in the 36" pipeline that runs from the south of Seguin to
Schertz. Transporting this water has had a significant financial value to both Cities over the last 5 years,
but Schertz is beginning to struggle with enough pipeline capacity to move adequate water to Schertz
during the high peak summer months. As a result, the 2nd project that SSLGC is preparing to undertake is
the building and installation of a second pipeline to be a minimum diameter of 36" as well.
This second pipeline will insure that we have adequate pipeline capacity to meet our future water needs
through SSLGC and CVLGC and will allow us to sell excess water to other communities for many years
to come.
On August 30, 2016, the City Council approved an interlocal agreement between the City of Schertz and
the City of Seguin that outlined the cost allocation agreement between both cities for the repayment of
funding obtained from the Texas Water Development Board. In addition, the City Council authorized the
SSLGC Board of Directors to obtain funding through the SWIRFT program for the Guadalupe Project
and Parallel Pipeline Project in the total amount of $66,500,000 comprised of both a Low Interest Loan in
the amount of $43,670,000.00 and a TWDB Participation loan in the amount of $22,830,000.00. In
addition, the City Council approved a resolution in support of SSLGC moving forward with their
application for funding from the State.
At this time, the funding has been approved by the Texas Water Development Board and the attached
Resolutions and associated documents authorize the sale of the bonds necessary through the Texas Water
Development Board.
The SSLGC Board took action on approving these funding agreements on October 20, 2016. The City of
Seguin is slated to obtain City Council approval on November 1, 2016.
Goal
Approve the sale of bonds for the needed expansion of the SSLGC system.
Community Benefit
The City of Schertz is a member of the SSLGC. It is through the SSLGC that the City provides water to
its citizens. Approval of this funding application will ensure the future water needs of the city are met.
Summary of Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of Resolution as provided by bond counsel.
HHZTG • '
This action will have a fiscal impact on the City of Schertz by increasing wholesale water rates. These
rate increases are necessary to continue to provide water that is needed in the future.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval utilizing the following language:

deposit that causes the Bonds to be no longer Outstanding.
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the holders and beneficial owners
of the Bonds, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The City undertakes to provide
only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it has

ANY SUCH PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH

changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a
change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the City, but only if (1) the

any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such
changed circumstances, and (2) either (a) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
(or any greater amount required by any other provision of the Bond Resolution that authorizes

amendment will not materially impair the interests of the holders and beneficial owners of the
Bonds. The City may also repeal or amend the provisions of this Section if the SEC amends or
repeals the applicable provisions of the Rule or any court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that
such provisions of the Rule are invalid, and the City also may amend the provisions of this
Section in its discretion in any other manner or circumstance, but in either case only if and to the

provisions as so amended and (b) any amendments or interpretations of the Rule. If the City so
amends the provisions of this Section, the City shall include with any amended financial

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: October 25, 2016
Department: Fire
Subject: Resolution No. 16-R-79 - AFG
Grant for Fire Equipment
BACKGROUND
Goal
Schertz Fire Rescue seeks to use Assistance to Firefighters Grant funds to purchase Wildland
personal protective equipment (PPE).
Community Benefit
The Fire Department responds to wildland and grass fires on Interstate 35, Interstate 10,
highways 3009, 1516, 2252, 78, and 482, as well as other undeveloped land across the City
of Schertz. In addition, SFR participates in numerous mutual aid agreements including
regional and statewide responses. Proper personal protective equipment protects firefighters
during wildland and grass fire operations. If awarded this grant, SFR personnel will be placed
in PPE that provides not only a higher level of wildland protection but also allows for a
cooler option than Rescue PPE gear.
Summary of Recommended Action
Recommend approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
Equipment is expected to cost $20,475.00, of which $18,427.50 will be federal funds and
$2,047.50 will be City funds. The City's funds will be paid from the Fire Department's
operating budget.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: October 25, 2016
Department: Purchasing
Subject: Resolution No. 16 -R -80 - A Resolution by the City
Council of Schertz authorizing expenditures in excess
of $50,000, as approved in the 2016 -2017 fiscal year
budget, for the City's Vehicle Replacement Program
and Communication Equipment.
The City has taken a comprehensive approach in developing a cost - effective fleet replacement
program. Best practice fleet operations have been integrated into the existing program and the City has
developed systematic policies and procedures for determining when a vehicle requires replacement. In
support of this program, Council approved a funding mechanism that was authorized in the FY 2016-
17 budget for the City's Vehicle Replacement Program.
The City has historically purchased vehicles from vendors belonging to purchasing cooperatives. This
has allowed the City to procure vehicles through best -value and capitalize on volume discounts. For
FY 2016 -17, The City anticipates the purchase and outfitting of the following vehicles from Caldwell
Country Chevrolet and Silsbee Ford.

The City's practice is to seek authorization from Council when expenditures with a vendor exceed
$50,000 in one fiscal year. Though exact amounts for each vehicle are not yet known, it will not
exceed the budgeted amount. Thus, staff is requesting approval to spend up to $64,000 with Caldwell
Country Chevrolet and up to $424,000 with Silsbee Ford, as part of the City's Vehicle Replacement
Program in FY 201.6 -17. In other related purchases, Police, Fire and EMS will be purchasing
emergency telecommunication equipment from Motorola and request approval to spend up to $85,000
in FY 2016 -1.7.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
A proactive fleet replacement programs provides for long -term planning and prudent fiscal
stewardship. Purchasing cooperatives assist local governments in reducing costs through volume
purchasing. Additionally, City resources are conserved and purchasing efficiencies are maximized
through use of a streamlined procurement process.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that Council authorize expenditures up to $64,000 with Caldwell Country
Chevrolet and up to $424,000 with Silsbee Ford, as part of the City's Vehicle Replacement Program
in FY 2016 -17, and up to $85,000 with Motorola for related equipment purchases.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: October 25, 2016
Department: Streets /Finance
Subject: Ordinance No. 16 -T -36 — An Ordinance by
the City Council of the City of Schertz,
Texas authorizing a budget adjustment to
fund street crossing improvements on Elbel
Road
BACKGROUND
This project will provide improvements to crosswalks on Elbel Road to stop traffic when
pedestrians desire to cross the street. And, unlike our current system in place, this will provide
direction to the pedestrians. This will insure that traffic has been signaled to stop before clearing
pedestrians to walk and to provide time between walk signals to allow traffic to flow better
during heaving pedestrian traffic periods.
These signals will be installed at Elbel and Westchester Roads, replace the current system, and at
the Elbel Road and tennis courts crossing near the Post Office. Both of these crosswalks are used
throughout the school year and around the entire year as folks traverse this recreation corridor in
our community.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for the street crossing improvements on Elbel Rd. and sidewalk/ADA ramps will be paid
from Child Safety Fund Account which had a balance of $182,567 at the beginning of FY2015-
16. Each year this account grows as the city collects more in child safety fees than it can expend
in any one year. Anticipated balance after the FY 2015 -16 contribution and the project
expenditures would be $139,436. This is an acceptable expense under article 102.014 (g) of the
Code of Criminal Procedure.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 16 -T -36,
approving the budget adjustment to extend the sidewalk and make improvements to the street
crossings on Elbel Road.
