June 20, 2018 Reports from Boards and Commissions
BOA – May 21, 2018
The Board of Adjustments approved a request by the City of Schertz for the proposed elevated storage tank off of Ray
Corbett Drive to exceed 35’. The elevated storage tank is to be approximately 225’ tall. The property is zoned PUB – Public
Use District, which is the most appropriate zoning district for this type of use, and has a maximum height limit of 35’ but
which is too low for elevated storage tanks. As such, staff is considering proposing changes to the maximum height allowed
in this district to avoid having to get variances in the future.
Planning and Zoning Commission – May 23, 2018 and June 13, 2018.
At their May 23 meeting, the Commission approved a plat and associated waiver to allow septic service for a few lots in
southern Schertz. At their June 13 meeting, they discussed proposed changes to the Unified Development Code regarding
site development standards for public water and wastewater facilities to provide input on changes proposed by staff.
TSAC – June 7, 2018
Staff provided an overview of City requirements and practice for painting centerlines on streets and provided an update
on various projects/requests.
Historical Preservation – No meeting since the last TSAC Meeting.
The Historical Preservation Committee meetings quarterly – next meeting is scheduled for July.
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board – May 21, 2018
The Parks Board received updates on the activities of YMCA. They also received updates on the status of Mary Whitfield
Burks Park (where the exercise equipment was recently installed) and the walking trail project. The Board recommended
not renaming Oak Forest Park to Coy Simmons Park, but did recommend renaming the Schertz Ballpark Complex after
Johnie McDow, something Council approved.
Library Board – June 4, 2018
At their June meeting, the Library Board received reports on the board’s finances, library usage and the bookstore. They
also discussed the Library Foundation Mini Golf that is occurring on Saturday, June 23.
Schertz Economic Development Corporation – May 24, 2018
The SEDC Board met on May 24, 2018. During the meeting, the SEDC reviewed its monthly financials, Business Retention
and Expansion (BRE) Plan, and the proposed FY 2018-19 budget. As part of the monthly financials, the SEDC experienced
a 55.8% year-over-year increase sales tax collections. The increase was the result of a one-time receipt and a state audit
adjustment. During the BRE plan update, staff announced that construction has started for the Vestal Subdivision drainage
project. Staff and the business owners have worked to get the project underway for nearly three years. Lastly, the
proposed SEDC FY 2018-19 budget included over $4 million for the payment of SEDC projects and incentives for Texas
Plumbing Supply, Ace Mart Restaurant Supply, and infrastructure improvements for a new industrial area and the retail
project near Wiederstein Road. Staff also recommended minor increases for staff development and the BRE program. The
board will officially vote on the budget during its June meeting.
Committee of Committees Advisory Board Summary
CCAB Notes 06/20/18:
Brian James gave the City Manager report. He gave an update on the status of the City Manager search. At the
beginning of June, Council officially approved the job posting and had it posted with the intent to perform an
initial review of those applications that are received by June 30 at the first Council meeting in July.
The committee then discussed and reviewed the future role of the Committee of Committees. While all members
agreed that CCAB provides a good sounding board when there are specific presentation items or topics that city
staff needs initial feedback on, it was also acknowledged that the need to meet monthly is not necessary. It was
unanimous agreement to make the change to meet quarterly on the 3rd Wednesday of the month (March, June,
September and December), but with the option to hold special called meetings, if needed.
Next meeting agenda topics: The next scheduled CCAB meeting is September 19. A request was made to have a
presentation regarding the Schertz water system and an overview of how it works. Brian James recommended
this presentation would be best suited to be given at a Planning and Zoning meeting, as it this topic falls under
this commission’s purview. Brian will work with the P&Z chairman to get the presentation on an upcoming agenda.
