ion Regarding, Potential Water Meter Upgrade Project
ility Bi3ling Manager" Dawniecia Hardin- Trussel came forward providing information.
Yarding the water meter upgrade project. The following information was provided.
Schertz Water Meter System
• Drive by Radio read
• Current meters are failing
- Meter technicians have to make multiple trips due to misreads due the
information not transferring to the computer correctly
- This results in 500 to 700 meters per cycle that need to be read manually
Full warranties are beginning to expire, seeing additional costs to the city for
replacements
3 -23 -2018 Minutes Page - 4 -
• Takes longer to bill and read
- Example: When the current system was new, it took a couple of hours to
read. Currently it is taking 2 to 4 days to read a cycle.

Agenda No. 2
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: April 3, 2018
Department: EMS
Subject: Resolution No. 18 -R -37-
Authorizing the Acting City
Manager to enter into an agreement
with Southwest Texas Regional
Advisory Council (STRAC) to
provide Mobile Integrated
Healthcare (MIH) inside the Schertz
EMS service area.
BACKGROUND
The Schertz EMS Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) program began in 2013 . to deal with a
small group of patients who were repeatedly utilizing 911 as their primary access to
healthcare. We began to lower their utilization of 911 by using a single Paramedic to work
with these high utilizer patients and connecting them with new healthcare resources that they
were lacking or unaware of. Starting with a handful of patients, we were successfully able to
reduce their 911 calls, freeing up the valuable resources to respond to other emergencies.
Although still very new in the United States, Mobile Integrated Healthcare is becoming more
widely accepted and new partners are seeking services across the San Antonio region. Until
now, the projects in this region have been grant funded or very low /zero revenue pilot
projects. For example, Schertz EMS was authorized by City Council in 2016 to participate in
a grant funded MIH project with Community First Health Plans and University Health
System to provide services to pediatric asthma patients that lowered their use of Emergency
Rooms. This grant ran for 18 months and was successful in not just decreasing the healthcare
dollars spent on the patients that were included in the grant but overall improving their health
and their medication compliance. More and more pressure is being placed on healthcare
providers to reduce the number of dollars spent on patients while improving their overall
health and their experiences when utilizing the healthcare system. At the same time, the
healthcare system is more difficult than ever to navigate which can easily become very
frustrating and confusing to patients that are faced with complicated health problems.
This frustration and confusion often leads people to utilize 91.1 when all other healthcare
avenues seem to not pan out for a frustrated patient. However, ambulances can easily be one
of the most expensive forms of transportation to get to one of the most expensive places to
receive care.
Paramedics are a trusted resource in the community, and it is because of that, that we are in
an ideal position to sit with patients in their homes and have quality interactions regarding
their health. The MIH Paramedic can educate them on their diseases, how to manage them
and the resources available that they may not be aware of. Also, the MIH Paramedic can
bring treatments to the residence or return regularly for follow up on the patient's compliance
with their treatment plan in a way that no other healthcare provider can.
The layout of the San Antonio area is very unique in that we have several EMS systems of
varying sizes running 911 calls in their own jurisdictions. While that works for the 911 .
systems, it is not necessarily ideal for contracting with larger payors or healthcare groups that
will fund MIH programs. It is because of this uniqueness and the strong relationship that our
regional EMS organizations already have with STRAC that we desire to formalize our
participation in region wide MIH projects as part of the STRAC MIH Consortium. The
STRAC MIH Consortium is comprised of multiple EMS agencies around the region that
have dedicated time and resources to implementing MIH programs like ours. The
Consortium will be able to engage in much larger projects than any single member could
achieve alone and will be a valuable resource to large payers and health systems seeking
innovative ways to improve healthcare for their patients.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
If approved to participate in the MIH Consortium with STRAC, our MIH program will
provide services in our service area for the projects that STRAC contractually agrees to
participate in. Our MIH Paramedics will work with our citizens as they are included in
projects to provide better access to healthcare services and improve their healthcare. We will
also work to decrease the utilization of emergency resources so that they are free to respond
to actual emergencies.
FISCAL IMPACT
Schertz EMS has one full time employed MIH Paramedic that was approved in the current
budget. There will be no further expenses incurred that will not be offset by additional
revenue provided by these MIH projects.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approval of Resolution 1.8 -R -37 authorizing the Acting City Manager to enter into an
agreement with the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council for participation in the MIH
Consortium.

for the 3,500 eggs we had in both pools and traded in their
collection for a goodie bag with prizes. After their age
group's time in the pool was up, they were directed
outside to the splash pad area for Easter - themed arts &
crafts and games. At the end of the evening there was a
free swim period for all from 8 -9 pm. This was a free
community event sponsored by Schertz Parks &

City Council Meeting: April 3, 2018
Department: City Manager
Subject: Update on major projects in
progress
Background
As discussed at the pre- budget retreat on March 23, staff has a number of large projects in
progress across a number of departments. Staff desires to provide a monthly update on these
projects so Council will know how the projects are progressing. It is staff's intention that this
updated document will be provided as a part of Council's packet for the first regular Council
meeting every month.
If Council desires this information to be presented in a different way or desires more
information on any project or on projects not on this list, they can ask staff and that information
will be provided if possible.
Parks and Recreation:
Community Playscape Restroom: The pre- fabricated building is 90% complete at the
factory. A plan for the engineered foundation the pre -fabed building will sit on is in
progress and then the building permit can be pulled. The building delivery and utility
connections are expected to happen in May.
2. Mary Whitfield Burkes Park: The park design process is currently in process. The
completed design is expected to be completed the first week of April. Once they are
delivered, the site plan review process and building permits will be accomplished. It is
expected that sidewalk installation and exercise equipment will be installed in May.
Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex Electronic Sign:
On February 6, 2018, City Council was updated on the purchase and installation of a new
electronic sign to be placed in the current sign structure. After the remainder of staff review
was completed, the sign was ordered on March 23. The sign has an 8 -9 -week delivery time
and is expected to arrive in mid -May.
IT is coordinating the sign replacement. They have stated that the vendor will be training
IT and Public Affairs staff on the new sign and its accompanying software during April.
The install time will be approximately one week, and it is estimated the sign will be in
place and operational before the end of May.
Drainage Proiects:
1. Concrete Rip -Rap in West Dietz Creek: This project is to cover the wall of the large
drainage channel near where it meets F.M. 3009 with concrete. This is to preserve the wall
from erosion and to resolve a high risk area for maintenance. This project is near
completion and will likely be completely finished by the first week of April.
2. Seven other drainage projects for FY 2018 including concrete work in five drainage
channels, converting one drainage channel to underground stormwater pipe and de- silting
approximately 1 mile of the East Dietz Creek drainage channel, are currently in the design
process. It is expected that these projects will each complete the design phase over the next
two months.
Facilities Projects:
1. YMCA Restrooms: In October 2017, City staff discovered a serious long -term water leak
within the walls of the restroom /locker rooms at the YMCA. The result is the demolition
of both sets of showers and all but one sink in both the men and women's restrooms and
extensive damage from a water leak or leaks that may have been happening over the last 8
years.
The design process to renovate both restrooms has now been completed and the project has
been put out for sealed bid proposals on Friday, March 30. Bids will be opened on April
26 and reviewed for the best proposal. Staff expects to bring a recommendation to award a
contract to the best proposal in May.
2. Fire Station 3: The architect is currently working to complete the design and construction.
documents. These documents have undergone several re- designs due to unexpectedly high
projected construction costs. It is anticipated that the documents will be complete by May
4 and then delivered to our construction manager at risk, Thomas S. Byrne for the
development of a guaranteed maximum price. Once we have the GMP, if it is within the
available funds for the fire station, a contract will be brought to Council for approval. It is
anticipated that we will bring this to Council by the 2nd week of June.
Staff intends to add additional projects to this update in future months.
