Agenda No. 2.
Subject: Resolution No. 19 -R -1.68 - Consideration and /or action approving a Resolution
authorizing a Public Library Interlocal Agreement for mutual access to
CloudLibrary digital resources. (B. James /M. Uhlhorn)
I X1 4 X I "Tel 11►i7
The Schertz Public Library began offering e -books and e- audiobooks to our community more than a
decade ago. Library customers no longer think of our digital resources as a novelty, but a
much - appreciated service. It is a service, however, that comes with some challenges. On the up side,
digital content:
• Offers flexibility to our customers. E -books and e- audiobooks are one more way to fit reading into busy lives.
• Provides access to reading materials to people who aren't able to physically come into the library. From deployed
military personnel to children stuck at home with the measles to shut -in elderly persons, reading can still be part of
life even when access is limited.
• Makes it easy to update content or provide access to out -of -print content. This is particularly important when
providing non - fiction and educational materials.
• Allows libraries with limited space for physical collections to maintain minimum materials per capita levels when
they run out of room.
On the down side, digital content:
• Costs far more initially for a library to provide than regular print materials. The average cost of an e -book to
libraries is around $60 vs. $26 for print.
• Is difficult for customers to discover without a platform for viewing it and the ability to integrate the titles into
regular library catalogs.
• Is proving to be almost impossible to build up into a robust collection over time because publishers are metering the
content. Metering is the practice of requiring a library to purchase a copy of a book over and over again because the
license only lasts for 26 or 52 check -outs. Other metering models are based on unlimited check -outs for a limited
period of time, such as 12 or 24 months. Some publishers allow libraries to purchase titles with a perpetual license,
meaning that the library owns the title forever. A perpetual license title can cost more than $100.00, but fewer and
fewer titles have perpetual licenses.
In 2017, eleven public libraries in the Dallas area, discouraged by the unfavorable terms of their digital
consortium, the high cost of providing digital content, and their inability to build up the number of titles
in their digital collections even after significant investment, began looking for a new way to share their
digital content with each other. Their idea was to create a system based on the way libraries share their
physical collections through interlibrary loan. Each library in the group would own their own content
(unlike most consortia which own titles collectively) and let other libraries borrow a title when their
own customers weren't using it. They formed a coordinating committee, partnered with Bibliotheca
(formerly known as 3M and one of the largest digital content providers to public libraries), to create a
platform that allowed title sharing, and created the Interlocal agreement before you. Once the libraries
began sharing their content through this digital interlibrary loan system, they all saw dramatic increases
in usage and decreases in wait time for their customers. Library customers immediately had access to
more than 10 times the number of titles they had previously. Several months later, Bexar County's
Bibliotech library joined the group and the number of titles available to their customers sky- rocketed.
In the last year, the group has grown to about 25 libraries, including our neighbors New Braunfels,
Seguin and Boerne. The number of unique titles available to customers is currently more than 60,000.
In less than two years, the group collectively had more than a million circulations.
Once a library joins the group, the interlocal agreement is in place until a library dissolves the
relationship with written notice, violates the terms and is voted out of the group by the coordinating
committee, or the Bibliotheca CloudLibrary cloudlinking program is no longer available.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no membership fees associated with being part of the agreement. The interlocal agreement
does require each participating library to spend a minimum amount per year on content. The
requirement is to spend a minimum of $10,000 or 10% of a library's materials budget, whichever is
less, in order to have a robust collection for users. For the Schertz Public Library, this means we must
meet an expenditure level of $10,000 per year. We currently spend more than this amount on e -books
and e- audiobooks through two other vendors, Overdrive and RBDigital. RBDigital content is licensed to
us but doesn't actually belong to us. Usage of that particular resource is low, so we are dropping
RBDigital at the end of December and redirecting the funds earmarked for it to CloudLibrary purchases.
We will continue to provide access to e -books and e- audiobooks through our Overdrive Lone Star
Digital Library (LSDL) consortium until at least 2021 when our current agreement ends, but we may
continue to fund both platforms.
You may ask why we would continue funding Overdrive purchases beyond 2021 if the interlibrary loan
model of providing e -books seems to work better than the consortium model. First, not all titles are
available through every vendor. We purchase print titles from multiple vendors for the same reason.
Second, Overdrive is currently the only vendor licensed to provide Kindle format titles to public library
users. Older Kindle devices are still popular with our customers at this time. Third, we are a founding
member of LSDL and its primary manager. Our withdrawal could severely hamper the ability of the
other member libraries to provide access to e- content. We, of course, will choose a course that is best
for our customers, but there may be no need to disrupt the operation of a consortium that has operated
successfully for a decade. The Dallas -area libraries were hampered by their consortium's
terms -of- service, but our own consortium's terms are less restrictive. We have the option of moving our
owned content from Overdrive to CloudLibrary in 2021 should it make sense to do so. We also have the
option of moving all eligible LSDL consortium holdings to CloudLibrary if all the members agree to
move to the platform.
Our main interest in the ability to borrow e- content through the ILA is to expand the number of titles
available to our customers. The real draw -back with the LSDL consortium is that it is limited to a finite
number of libraries in a specific geographic area. It can't grow any larger. Most of the member libraries
are small with extremely limited budgets, so it's unlikely the amount of money available to purchase
content will change much over time.
RECOMMENDATION
This Interlocal agreement is advantageous to our customers in that they will have access to far more
titles than we can afford to provide on our own. They will also have access to more copies of titles,
driving down wait times. Staff recommends adoption of this Resolution authorizing the Public Library
Interlocal Agreement for Mutual Access to CloudLibrary Digital Resources.

This MOU authorizes use of state - licensed frequencies for the purpose of coordination between
emergency response agencies and resources. Such coordination may occur during interagency
operations, en route travel, or on- incident communications in accordance with an Incident
Communications Plan.
Background
The 77th Legislature, in an effort to provide for effective emergency radio communications by state
agencies, called for an Interagency Radio Work Group (IRWG) to develop a state agency
communications network. That group developed a preliminary plan that was accepted by the state IRWG
and the Sheriffs' Association of Texas on March 27, 2001.
Subsequently, the IRWG determined that the state agency communications network should be expanded
to include all public safety agencies in the state. This was accomplished by IRWG's development of the
IRCIP of January, 2003.
In response to an FCC requirement for establishment of state / regional advisory committees, the Texas
Interoperable Communications Coalition JACC) and the Texas Statewide Interoperable
Communications Plan Executive Committee (SEC) were formally established as advisory committees to
TxDPS.
The Texas Statewide Interoperability Channel Plan (TSICP), developed by the TACC and included in
this MOU, provides essential guidance for interoperable radio communications using VHF, UHF, 700
MHz, 800 MHz, and mobile satellite radio equipment for interagency coordination, en route travel, or on-
incident communications.

Agenda No. 4.
Subject: Resolution No. 19 -R -167 - Consideration and /or action approving a Resolution by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas authorizing expenditures with CASCO
Industries totaling no more than $70,000.00 for Firefighting Supplies and
Equipment during the 2019 -2020 Fiscal Year and other matters in connection
therewith. (C. Kelm /K. Long)
The Fire Department budgets to purchase firefighting personal protective equipment (bunker gear) in
each fiscal year. We have been planning the past couple of budgets by adding additional sets of bunker
gear in anticipation of a new State requirement which calls for each firefighter to have two sets of
bunker gear. The purpose for this new requirement is when the first set is contaminated from products
of combustion, we remove that gear from service until it is cleaned and the firefighter has a second
clean set ready for use. The Fire Department also purchases additional routine firefighting equipment,
such as fire stream nozzles, fire hose, and other general use items.
To date, the City has spent approximately $45,000 with CASCO Industries for firefighting supplies and
equipment.
For the remainder of the Fiscal. Year, the Fire Department anticipates at least $15,000 in additional .
firefighting supplies and equipment but is requesting a not to exceed amount that includes an additional
$10,000 to be able to purchase supplies quickly.
GOAL
To obtain authorization from City Council for expenditures with CASCO Industries for firefighting
supplies and equipment in an amount not to exceed $70,000 for the remainder of the Fiscal Year.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The items purchased from CASCO Industries are in support of Fire suppression
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
To obtain authorization from City Council for expenditures with CASCO Industries for firefighting

Meeting:
Department: Public Works
Agenda No. 5.
Subject: Resolution No. 19-R-169 - Consideration and /or action approving a Resolution by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas authorizing the City Manager to enter
into an agreement with Hanson Aggregates LLC, for the lease of 25 acre /ft of
Edwards Aquifer Permitted Water. (C. Kelm /S. Williams /J. Hooks)
BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
The City of Schertz is permitted for 1,768.08 acre / ft of water from the Edwards Aquifer Authority at a
rate of $84.00 per acre /foot. This water capacity is what the City had available when we were strictly on
the Edwards Aquifer using our Edwards wells. Since then we began using water from the Carrizo
Aquifer from SSLGC and our Edwards wells are kept for back -up capacity or in case of emergencies.
The City also utilizes these Edwards rights to provide water to the City's soccer fields for irrigation
purposes instead of using water from SSLGC. Since the City started using water from SSLGC we
typically use between 80 -1.50 acre /ft of Edwards water a year including the soccer field usage. Since
SSLGC came on -line, the City of Schertz reserves a minimum of 1,000 acre /ft a year for the City's
needs and makes the rest available to lease to other entities, both public and private on one -year leases.
In the past, the Edwards Aquifer Authority had a program that provided a rebate to permit holders for
unused water. This program is no longer offered and the permit holders pay for all that is permitted. To
recover this cost, the City makes excess permitted water available to other entities that make requests
for water leases and to the soccer fields.
When leasing our water rights to other users, there are several prescribed fees from the Edwards
Aquifer Authority that we pass along to the water lease. The Water Lease Transfer fee is a rate that
was based off the Edwards Aquifer market value of water being Leased. The EAA Management fee is a
pass- through fee that the permit holder is charged per acre /ft. The administration fee is a fee charged for
administering the permit lease and the application by water department personal. The EAA Transfer
Fee is another pass- through fee charged by the Edwards Aquifer for the application. These fees are
estimated as revenue in the water department budget each year on the possibility of proposed leases.

City Council December 10, 2019
Meeting:
Department: City Secretary
Agenda No. 6.
Subject: Ordinance No. 19 -T -29 - Consideration and /or action approving an Ordinance by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas authorizing an adjustment to the FY
2019 -20 Budget to encumber unused funds from FY 2018 -19, repealing all
ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance; and providing
an effective date. (M. Browne /J. Walters)Finalreading.
With Ordinance 19 -T -23 the City Council of the City of Schertz approved the annual budget for FY
2019 -20. Staff is proposing to amend the budget to encumber unused funds from FY 2018 -19 for use in
FY 2019 -20.
Unspent funds at the end of the fiscal year are added to the fund balance. Due to time restrictions on
equipment delivery and project delays some departments weren't able to spend the funds allocated to
them in the previous fiscal year and those funds were add to the fund balance instead. In order to use
these funds, staff recommends council approve a budget adjustment to move these funds out of the fund
balance to be spent this fiscal year instead. This action will prevent the current year's budget being used
up on purchases and projects left over from last year.
The items requested to encumber from the previous fiscal year are as follows:
The Fire Department is requesting to encumber from reserves $7,937 for 5 vehicle repeaters and cable.
These are items needed in conjunction with the opening of the new fire station.
The Parks Department is requesting to encumber from reserves $50,000 for the Senior Center parking
lot renovation and $16,089 for maintenance to the Veteran's Memorial. The parking lot enhancements
will provide better layout for parking and the Veteran's Memorial needs regular maintenance for the
remembrance pavers.
The Streets Department is requesting to encumber from reserves $20,514 for the North Schertz
Sidewalk projects and $30,555.00 for the Mid Schertz Sidewalks projects. The City has begun sidwalk
maintenance and extensions. The processes for area selection, engineering, and construction bid award
pushed these projects in FY 2019 -20.
The Facility Maintenance Department is requesting to encumber from reserves $16,515 for the
replacement of the YMCA air conditioner unit. The City is responsiblef or structural repair including
air conditioners on the Recreation Center leased to the YMCA. The funding was identified at the end of
FY 2018 -19 but the work invoices didn't arrive until FY 2019 -20.
The Human Resources Department is requesting to encumber from reserves $50,000 for Wellness
Programs and $15,000 to set up insurance provider links to the Human Resources Management system.
These amounts were granted to the City by Blue Cross Blue Shield in FY 2018 -19 and is proposed to be
used in FY 2019 -20.
To complete these purchases and projects without impacting the current year budget, the budget needs
to be increased by the stated amounts.
Council approved this on December 3, 2019.
GOAL
To adjust the budget to provide funding to complete all fo the anticipated FY 2019 -20 projects and the
remaining FY 2018 -19 projects.
IVA 105 1 NO 16118 111 9N
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the adjustment to complete the remaining purchases and projects from FY 2018 -19.
FISCAL IMPACT
This adjustment will decrease the projected fund balance in the General Fund by $206,610. These funds
were original expected to be spent in FY 2018 -19 and by encumbering them for FY 2019 -20 it will not
have an impact on the City's 5 year plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 19 -T -29 on final reading to encumber unused funds from FY
2018 -1.9 for use in FY 2019 -20.

City Council Meeting: December 10, 2019
Department: Parks, Recreation & Community Servic
Subject: Schertz Area Senior Center Operations Update. (B. James /L. Shrum)
The Schertz Area Senior Center was established in 2010. It is owned by the City of Schertz and
managed through a public facility license agreement with the YMCA of Greater San Antonio. The City
of Schertz contracted with the YMCA to manage the Schertz Area Senior Center in September 2015 and
that contract cost is $145,235 per year. Membership to the Senior Center is open to anyone age 50+ and
there are no residency requirements to join. Membership dues are $36 per year or $62 per couple.
Membership dues were set by council at the inception of the Senior Center and the YMCA has kept the
membership dues the same. The membership dues go to the YMCA to help operate the center.
Membership dues netted per year are approximately $40,000.
In 2017 . the city funded an $850,000 renovation project to encompass the adjacent Well Med space
which added approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of usable space. A group exercise room, a meeting room, and
ADA accessible restrooms were developed out of this additional space. A parking lot renovation
project to gain more spaces, is budgeted at $50,000 and is planned for FY 19 -20 but not yet
constructed. Additionally, since the YMCA has taken over the management of the facility, the
membership has grown from 399 members to 1,756 members, and the program numbers have grown
from 104 activities offered per month to 488 activities offered per month.
The city also funds a congregate meal program where lunch is provided Monday — Friday free of charge
for seniors 50+ at a budgeted cost of $114,000 per year (FYI 8-19 Actual = $102,717.75.) To recoup
some of the costs of the meal program, the city applied for federal funds through the Alamo Area
Council of Governments ( AACOG) that disseminates the federal funding. The federal funds only
reimburse meals for participants aged 60+ and those participants have to go through an intake process.
The city began receiving reimbursements in September 2019 and so far is reimbursed approximately
12 -14% of the city's total cost of the meals per month depending on the number of meals purchased.
The city is continuing to collect intake forms for eligible participants and working with AACOG to get
our program reassessed each year in hopes that additional funding will be allocated to the Schertz Area
Senior Center.
Additional expenses to operate the Senior Center include approximately $3,200 per year for facility
maintenance, $3,000 per year for Landscaping services, $3,600 per year for water & sewer, and $1,800
for electric service for a total cost to the city of $11,600 per year.
In November 2018 Schertz staff approached City of Cibolo staff about establishing an Interlocal
Agreement (ILA) with the City of Cibolo to share the costs of the Schertz Area Senior Center. Schertz
and YMCA staff gave a presentation to the Cibolo City Council regarding the Senior Center operations
and the membership breakdown. Approximately 20% of the participants in the congregate meal
program at that time were residents of the City of Cibolo, thus a $50,000 contribution was proposed as
part of the ILA which equated to 20% of the total annual cost of the congregate meal program and the
YMCA contract management fee for operation of the Center. The Interlocal Agreement did not come to
fruition at that time.
Since that time, the Schertz Area Senior Center has continued to gain in popularity and several group
exercise classes have become very popular with the members which has resulted in some attendance
caps being initiated in some classes. The attendance caps have caused some members to express
concern as to capacity issues and some additional requests to look at expanding the facility in the
future. To address the issue of capacity for some classes, the YMCA added an additional class to the
schedule at the Schertz Area Senior Center and opened an additional class to Schertz Area Senior Center
members at the Cibolo YMCA location. This has alleviated the capacity issues for now but some
members have continued to express concern that the continued growth in the area will contribute to
more members in the future, and they would like to start the conversation now about future facilities.
Thus, the Schertz Area Senior Center Advisory Board passed a resolution at their meeting on November
25, 2019, . to ask the City Council to investigate the feasibility of facilities expansion of the Schertz Area
Senior Center.
The existing 5 -year contract with the YMCA expires September 30, 2020, so a new Request for
Proposal (RFP) process will be initiated in the Spring of 2020. In preparation for this RFP process, this
operational efficiency evaluation is timely and necessary.
Staff is presenting this update to City Council to inform them of all the facets of the Schertz Area Senior
Center operations. While the center has grown in total membership, as well as program membership,
staff does not believe we have hit full capacity of the facility yet. A particular group exercise class
happens to be very popular due to a popular instructor, but there are other exercise classes available as
well that are not at capacity. Additionally, we have not considered expanding operating hours, creating
multiple lunch shifts, and /or a number of creative solutions that would expand our ability to maximize
the facility space and still provide a quality program for our seniors. Given the cost implications of
expanding and/or building a new facility, and given the other many priorities (park maintenance needs,
trail development) staff recommends exploring these other operational efficiencies first while also
maintaining that planning ahead for growth is a prudent thing to do for the Schertz Area Senior Center
and should be explored.

In Ordinance No. 06 -T -61 dated December 19, 2006, the City created the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number
Two, generally referred to as the Sedona or Crossvine TIRZ. The TIRZ allows for the reimbursement of costs
associated with the development of the project from property tax revenue generated by the increase in value of
properties within the TIRZ. In 2008 the City Council authorized the original Development Agreement.
The project, originally named Sedona was constructed, but with the downturn in the economy, development did not
continue. The project was revived by the new developer, Chris Price, as The Crossvine and construction resumed.
Staff has been in discussions with the developer about the need to update documents associated with the project as a
result of the changes being proposed to the project. Initially the project, as evidenced by the first phase of Sedona,
was envisioned as more standard suburban subdivision with a grid pattern of lots. As is proposed now, the
development includes a mix of lot and product types, curvilinear streets, drainage areas integrated as open space into
the development, and unifying design elements such as fencing, open space, signage, and landscaping.
the City Council of the City of Schertz designated TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER TWO
CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS the Zone to enable the development of approximately 825 acres of land which may
contain up to 2,200 residential units pursuant to the PUD described below with estimated average sales prices of
$140,000 -- $240,000 per single family home and approximately 130 acres of open space including but not limited to
public parks and trails to be known as the Sedona development. The project will result in a primarily residential
development located in the southern portion of the City. The Zone was established pursuant to the provisions of the
Tax Increment Financing "TIF" Act, Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code as amended.
The developer of the project is Schertz 1518 LTD. The developer is requesting the City of Schertz, Bexar Couty and
the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) participate in the tax increment financing to help fund public infrastructure
improvements to be located within the development. The duration of the Zone is projected to be twenty -one (21)
years with the Zone being in existence through calendar year 2027.

City Council December 10, 2019
Meeting:
Department: Executive Team
Subject: Presentation on UDC Requirements Relating to Nonconforming Billboards.
(B. James /L. Wood)
A few months ago City Council requested a presentation on the UDC as it relates to prohibitions on
relocating billboards. Billboards are generally considered off - premise signs in that they advertise
something other than the business located on the same property as the sign. The UDC does not allow
them to be relocated. Currently, the UDC only allows for some signs (on- premise) to be relocated in
some circumstances (when necessitated by government acquisition of land).
The UDC could be amended to modify the current provision to also include off - premise signs. It could
also be amended to expand the reasons signs are allowed to be relocated, beyond government
acquisition of land on which the sign is located, such as to allow for development or redevelopment of
the property.
All ordinances amending the UDC must be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to
being considered for adoption by Council.

City Council December 10, 2019
Meeting:
Department: Executive Team
Subject: Information on 2020 Master Calendar and Boards /Commissions. (M.
Browne /S. Gonzalez)
Each year staff drafts a Master Calendar that serves as a planning tool for the upcoming year.
There are a couple items to note which are the dates of the Council on the Go series and the Special
Called Council meetings /retreats, which are planned as follows:
• January 24th — Council Teambuilding Retreat — location TBD
• January 30th — Joint City Council Meeting with Cibolo and CVLGC — Schertz Civic Center
• February 18th — Council on the Go — Ray Corbett Jr. High
• March 17th — City Council & HOA Presidents Meeting — Schertz Civic Center
• March 20th — Council Pre- Budget Retreat — location TBD
• May 19th — Council on the Go — Scenic Hills
• August 7th — Council Budget Retreat — location TBD
• November 16th — Council Meeting to Canvass Results of November 3rd Election
All above dates are reflected on the 2020 Master Calendar.
Staff is still working to finalize the dates for the Music and Movies in the Park series and the Hal
Baldwin Golf Tournament. Once the dates have been secured, staff will provide an amended calendar
to reflect that information.
RECOMMENDATION:
As in year's past, staff recommends Council approval of the Master Calendar with the following
considerations in regards to the City Council meetings:
• Cancel the October 6, 2020 Council Meeting due to Texas National Night Out
• Cancel the October 13, 2020 Council Meeting due to Annual TML Conference
• Cancel the November 3, 2020 Council Meeting due to Election Day
• Cancel the November 24, 2020 Council Meeting due to Thanksgiving Holidays
• Cancel the December 22, 2020 Council Meeting due to December Holidays
If Council has concerns with these considerations, please contact the City Secretary's office.
Additionally, with this item staff has provided detailed information regarding when the various
Boards /Commissions meet throughout the year.
