CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
April 2, 2019
Finance
Resolution No. 19 -R -33 — A resolution by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas
authorizing EMS debt revenue adjustments,
Utility Billing debt revenue adjustments and
Schertz Magazine debt revenue adjustments for
certain inactive outstanding receivables and
other matters in connection therewith
In the EMS, Utility Billing, and Magazine functions, services are provided to customers up front and
billing is settled later. Since services are provided before receiving payment, inevitably the City has
customers that do not pay for the services provided.
When this occurs, staff reaches out to the customer to try to collect the outstanding payment including
follow up notices and phone calls to try and reach out to the customer to remind them of the outstanding
balance and encourage payment. However, the longer the customer account goes without a payment the
less likely that any payment will be received.
Once a customer account reaches 180 days without payment, Staff brings those accounts to the City
Council to be "written off'. This process is an accounting procedure following the Generally Accepted
Accounted Principles (GAAP), which lays the framework of accounting practices in the U.S. This
designation means it is unlikely those outstanding balances will ever be collected. This leads to an
accounting adjustment on the City's Financial Statements to accurately show how much is still
outstanding and is reasonable to expect collection.
If a customer's account has been written off, this does not erase or forgive that debt. The city can and
does collect some portion of the amount owed by those customers. This can be through the debt collection
agency used by EMS or if the customer returns to the City and requests new services through the
Magazine or Utility Billing.
The resolution authorizes the debt for these areas that is more than 180 days outstanding as of March 01,
2019 to be written off. These write offs come before council quarterly and last came before council on
January 8, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT
This accounting adjustment will not affect the City's Budget or financial standing. The amount written off
is estimated during the budget process and is accounted for in the revenue estimations and the bad debt
expense accounts. The action taken tonight will reduce the amount shown as owed to the City by
$564,227.77 and set it equal to the amount seen as still reasonably collectible. The breakdown is as
follows:

Subject: Re: Schertz Aquatics Center
Good morning.
Yes, of course, my notes can be referenced. An addendum, which I neglected to include, were other, non-
competitive groups making use of the Aquatics Center. A conversation yesterday with a colleague reminded
me.
While I don't recall the name of specific veteran's organizations, I have seen some organized events during the
weekday to get vets in the water, apparently as a part of physical therapy or rehabilitation. That swimming is
the only exercise that can be performed cradle -to -grave by pretty -much anyone underscores its importance,
especially in a population such as that of Schertz.
Thank you for the reply and for your endeavors on City Council. Your efforts are appreciated.
Cordially. / /dale

Dale,
Thank you for reaching out, and with your permission will you allow me to have the city manager include this
email in our next city council meeting packets?
We are always excited to hear feedback at any level of leadership. This topic was just discussed in a recent
council meeting and continues to be a point of reference.
Very respectfully,
Councilman Cedric Edwards Sr

Hi, Cedric.
Just wanted to drop a long overdue line regarding the Schertz Aquatics Center —the pool at the
YMCA.
As you know, I grew up in Schertz, learning to swim at what is now known as Pickrell Park. More
recently, my limited swim time is spent at the Aquatics Center (AC), given its year -round
accessibility (thanks to heat, lights) and dedicated lane lines for lap swimming.
The addition of the AC to the community has been a godsend, not only for my own use but also
for all swimmers in the area. The AC is utilized most heavily by the high school teams, which
have seen significant gains in performance with both Steele and Clemens sending more
swimmers to the State Swim Meet this past February. Steele and the District celebrated its first
podium placement at State with Evelyn Bruner taking 3rd in the 200 freestyle. Clemens also
sent both an individual female in the 50 freestyle, and relay females in the 4x100 relay. This
success would not have been possible without the AC.
But swimming doesn't stop with high school students. Age Group swimmers ranging in age
make use of the pool, as do area triathletes training for everything from local sprints to
Ironman.
Granted, the pool does have its shortcomings, mostly with the number of lanes. The lack of
warm -up /cool -down lanes and limited deck space do complicate hosting meets (which can
generate revenue for teams, the City) but these shortcoming are overcome as best is possible. I
and others who make use of the AC are quite grateful for what we have; it's better than the
vacant lot behind the old fire station that had been there.
Thank you for your time, both in reading this and in serving the needs of the citizens of Schertz.
Cordially. / /dale

substantial completion date is September 2019, barring any delays.
2. Animal Adoption Center: The epoxy flooring project is 80% complete. The office area
and one kennel side are in the punch out phase. Animals should be moved into the newly
floored kennels by the end of the week, 4 -1 -19. Work in the remaining kennels will start
once the animals are moved. The facility will be closed during this time with adoptions
occurring by appointment. Current completion time is late April.
Water Projects:
1. E. Live Oak Ground Storage Tank Painting: Due to weather delays, the start of the
project was pushed back. M &M: Tank Coatings is scheduled to begin work in early April.
The project has a 120 day duration to complete.
2. Water Meter Change Out: As of March 29, 2019, approximately 8,000 meters have been
changed out (of approximately 14,200 meters). Replacement of meters started in areas with
the most manual reads by staff. Staff is currently estimating a June 2019 completion date
for all meter change outs.
3. FM 1103 Utility Relocation Project: City Staff continues to work on acquiring the final
two easements necessary to relocate water and wastewater lines that are in conflict with
the planned roadway and drainage improvements associated with the TxDOT FM 1] 03
Improvement Project. Bids for the project were received on March 20th. Four bids were
received and City Staff is currently working to evaluate the qualifications of the lowest
bidder. City Staff plans to present the bid award recommendation to City Council on April
9th or 23rd.
Enineerins! Projects:
1. 2018 Street Preservation and Maintenance /Rehabilitation Project: Staff is reviewing
the construction plans for Schertz Parkway reconstruction from Maske to Woodland Oaks.
Comments will be provided to LAN next week. This will allow the construction plans to
be finalized and the consultant's internal QA /QC be completed. The City Attorney has
reviewed the EJCDC Standard General Conditions draft Staff created. The document is
being finalized and there are a couple items that need City Attorney clarification on. Staff
is working to get the clarification on these items. This contract section should be complete
in the next couple of weeks. Staff anticipates bidding the project in April.
2. Corbett Elevated Water Storage Tank: The Notice to Proceed was issued on February
1 I th and work onsite began in late - March. Landmark Structures and City Staff are working
through the submittal process. Landmark Structures is also working to finalize the tank
foundation design. The project is expected to be completed July of 2020.
3. Woman Hollering Creek Wastewater Interceptor Main and Lift Station:
CobbFendley continues to work on making the final plan revisions and the bid documents.
City Staff and CobbFendley continue to negotiate with property owners to acquire
necessary easements for the project. Revised offer letters have been sent out to property
owners and negotiations continue with property owners. CobbFendley is working to
complete the City's platting and site plan process for the lift station site. The bidding of the
project is dependent on easement acquisition, but the project is planned to be bid in the late
Spring or early Summer of 2019.
4. Pedestrian Routes and Bike Lanes Project: Ford Engineering is scheduled to submit
completed plans for review by City Staff by the end of March. Staff continues to work with
LCRA to finalize the purchase of property for the hike and bike trail. City Staff continues
to work through approvals with TxDOT. The letting date for the project has been pushed
back by TxDOT to October 2019.
5. FM 1103 Bridge Project: Construction continues on the bridge structure. Bridge decks
have been poured. The contractor is working on asphalt on the frontage roads and will
shortly be pouring the concrete bridge rails and curb and sidewalk. Lane closures and
traffic rerouting will continue as necessary. TxDOT and its contractors keep City Staff
informed of detours and closures so that the City can assist in disseminating the information
to the public in a timely fashion. The currently anticipated completion date remains June
2019 (weather permitting).
6. FM 1103 Improvement Project: Utility relocations are underway (including electric,
communications, gas, water, and wastewater). Schertz Public Works is working to relocate
water and wastewater lines that conflict with the planned roadway and drainage
improvements (see FM 1103 Utility Relocation Project update). Due to issues with the
numerous utilities and relocation projects, the target let date for a construction contract has
been moved from October 2019 to May 2020. Construction of the complete project (IH 10
to Rodeo Way in Cibolo) is anticipated to take four years.
7. FM 1518 Improvement Project: Project has been environmentally cleared. TxDOT has
formally begun the process of acquiring property needed for the expansion project. Initial
offer letters have been sent to property owners. Approximately 1.40 parcels are affected by
right of way needs, including a parcel of land owned by the City of Schertz (across the
front of the existing Sedona Lift Station). TxDOT is also continuing to work on a value -
engineering phase of the project. The project is currently scheduled for letting in
September, 2022; construction may begin as early as January, 2023.
Planning and Community Development Projects:
1. CityView Permitting and Development Software: We have been meeting with
representatives from various city departments to work through the different permitting
processes to wrap up the data collection phase which is the first step of the software
implementation. We have also been working with the CityView project team to iron out
how our various impact fees are calculated and assessed. Once the data collection is
complete, the CityView Team will configure the software and return it to the City for User
Acceptance Testing. The configured software is tested, we will move to staff user training
and then go live with the software.
2. Agenda Quick software: The Planning Division utilized the AgendaQuick software, in
the test site, to complete both the March 13th and March 27th Planning and Zoning
Commission agendas and packets. Additionally, City staff and the AgendaQuick software
team are finalizing the templates for City Council. City admin users have scheduled on-
site user training for April 23rd and April 24th in order for all City staff that creates agenda
items to have training with the AgendaQuick team. Once this on -site training is complete
City admins will work with the AgendaQuick team to finalize any last remaining items /
changes before the software officially "goes live ".
