Subject: Resolution No. 20 -R -95 - Consideration and /or action approving a Resolution by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas authorizing Agreements with the
Drug Enforcement Administration. (C. Kelm /M. Hansen)
Trafficking in narcotics and dangerous drugs and trafficking in controlled substance pharmaceuticals
exists in the San Antonio area to include the City of Schertz. Having our officers assigned to DEA task
force units provides experienced investigative staff knowledgeable in the local area and cultures to the
DEA. In return, the City has use of all the resources available from multiple Federal law enforcement
agencies in local investigations. There is also a financial incentive realized in shared seized assets from
our coordinated efforts in area DEA investigations.
GOAL
To renew the agreement for the two officers currently assigned to two DEA Task Force Units for Fiscal
Year 2021
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
There is benefit from the immediate availability of Federal resources in local investigations. Although
many of these resources would ultimately become available in time, it is far more efficient when we are
able to contact Schertz investigators and immediately activate such resources. There is also a financial .
benefit associated with shared seized assets resulting from joint investigations.

Meeting:
Department: Fire Department
Subject: Resolution No. 20 -1t -94 — Consideration and /or action approving a Resolution by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas, authorizing the City Manager to sign
an Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection Services with Bexar County. (C.
Kelm /K. Long)
BACKGROUND
The Schertz Fire Department is charged with the responsibility of regional fire suppression, protection
and prevention. The Fire Department responds to fire and emergency calls in portions of unincorporated
Bexar County. This area is generally within our ETJ east of 1518 to the county line, and north of
Interstate 10 to F.M. 78. This is an annual agreement between Bexar County and the City of Schertz and
has no significant changes from previous years.
GOAL
Approval of Resolution 20 -R -94 to authorize the City Manager to sign the Interlocal Agreement for Fire
Protection Services with Bexar County.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Providing Fire Protection Services to these areas outside the City typically does not adversely impact
our responses within the City. We would respond in that area for all types of fires with or without the
agreement due to our area -wide mutual aid agreement and the areas' proximity to our city limits. By
maintaining this agreement with Bexar County, we are able to receive a small subsidy for providing
services in an area that would otherwise be without fire service.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 20 -R -94 to authorize the City Manager to sign the
Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection Services with Bexar County.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City receives revenue from Bexar County in the amount of $1,756.48 per month ($21,077.76
annually) per this agreement.
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 20 -R -94 to authorize the City Manager to sign the
Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection Services with Bexar County.

City Council August 25, 2020
Meeting:
Department: City Secretary
Agenda No. 6.
Subject: Ordinance No. 20 -17 -25 - Consideration and /or action approving an Ordinance by
the City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas, amending the Code of
Ordinances, Chapter 34 "Health ". Final Reading (C. Kelm /M. Bane)
City staff were tasked with reviewing the possibility of the City accepting health and fire inspections
from other Texas municipal or county health and fire inspection agencies. This would allow mobile
food vendors with current health and fire permits from other Texas municipal or county inspection
agencies to forgo a health and fire inspection by the City of Schertz. With this, the Mobile Food
Vendors wishing to operate within the City of Schertz would only have to register with the City of
Schertz, at which time they would have to provide their current health and fire inspection permits.
Those that do not have current health and fire inspection permits would be subject to health and fire
inspections performed by the City of Schertz.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of August 11, 2020.
GOAL
To provide clearly defined guidelines for Mobile Food Vendors that wish to operate within the City of Schertz.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
N/A
To review, discuss and take possible action, to include the possible approval of the ordinance as written.
FISCAL IMPACT
With the City of Schertz not performing inspections for Mobile Food Vendors with current health and fire inspection permits
from other Texas municipal or county inspection agencies, there will be a loss of revenue related to the fees charged for the
City of Schertz performing inspections.
Recommend approval of Ordinance 20 -H -25 on final reading.

City Council August 25, 2020
Meeting:
Department: City Secretary
Agenda No. 7.
Subject: ordinance No. 20 -T -27 - Consideration and /or action approving an Ordinance by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas, authorizing an adjustment to the fiscal
year 2019 -2020 budget, repealing all Ordinances or parts of Ordinances in
conflict with this Ordinance; and providing an effective date. Final Reading (M.
Browne /B. James /J. Walters)
This budget adjustment is proposed to recognize $165,000 in insurance payments the City received for
the old platform and hire a new Emergency Management Coordinator.
The platform was hit while stopped on a call and was totaled by the insurance agency. The City
received $165,000 in insurance. These funds will be recognized and the budget increased to purchase
replacement equipment to outfit the new platform for $132,901 and increase the Fire Rescue Budget by
$32,099 to fund the 1956 Fire Engine remodel and outfitting the new bloeker engine the city purchased
from Converse.
Staff is proposing to approve a new Emergency Management Coordinator position to oversee the City's
emergency operations center, emergency policy and procedures, and grant writing. This position can be
funded from the CARES act in the current fiscal year and is proposed to be funded in the proposed FY
2020 -21 budget.
The primary role of the Emergency Management Coordinator is to help the community, the city, and organizations by
having a system in place for anticipated hazards and area vulnerability. In addition, the EMC is a position that wears many
hats and is someone who builds relationships and networks with internal and external stakeholders during non - disaster or
emergency times while playing a crucial role in compliance and coordination within the EMC job scope. This position will
ensure we are ready in regards to Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery in the event of a disaster, large scale
emergency, multi jurisdictional emergencies, as well as pandemics like COVID 19.
The emergency manager must develop relationships with other local, state, and federal emergency response
agencies /organizations in order to better facilitate inter - agency operations during emergency and non - emergency periods.
The emergency manager is also responsible for raising community awareness of emergency preparedness and response by
bringing in volunteers from the community to help in administrative functions or as trained, volunteer community
responders. In developing community volunteer assistance, the emergency manager can effectively augment the emergency
response force and relieve some of the burden from professional responders. Additionally, the standalone Emergency
Manager will also allow greater opportunities to create and develop joint training exercises with regional partners, as well as
developing region wide community preparedness events.
At present, the EMC responsibilities are handled by the Fire Chief which in turn causes a significant division of that
position's time. With the geographic location of Schertz being in three counties, it requires the emergency manager to attend
approximately 11 meetings a month in order to maintain compliance and cooperation across all three while continuing to
develop and grow our regional partnerships.
Texas Department of Emergency Management Annexation review requires updates to our Emergency Operations Plan and
related annexes annually. To be effective, this updating process must be a proactive, streamlined, and continually ongoing
course of events that are strategically planned out during the course of the year. When this proactive process occurs, it will
greatly improve our abilities during the most difficult of time while freeing up time for department heads and EM team
members to focus on their primary jobs.
The emergency manager plays an essential role in pre, during, and post organizational preparation and recovery to
emergency management necessitated response. This position in cooperation with a finance department liaison ensures all
emergency management requirements and needs are met for the successful coordinating of state and federal reimbursement
efforts.
Examples of what this position is tasked with in order to enhance our efforts in mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery,
planning, exercising, and training:
• Planning tabletop and full-scale disaster exercises as required by TDEM
• Grant writing, management, tracking, and reporting for Homeland, FEMA, and state.
• Attend all Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee (REPAC) meetings.
• Attend and participate in Emergency Management meetings for all three counties.
• Form, manage, and maintain partnerships with community stakeholders
• Form manage and maintain relationships with local, state and federal government and their respective officials
• Champion regional cooperation of all first responders
The City of Schertz hiring an Emergency Manager will help make us more resilient for future disasters and pandemics. Grant
money is available from TDEM and FEMA to help offset the salary and benefits of an emergency manager in an amount up
to 50% of the cost. In addition, the Emergency Manager can assist the City in finding grant opportunities that has the
possibility of bringing in more money to the City than the cost of their position.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of August 11, 2020.
GOAL
To approve the budget adjustment ordinance to hire the Emergency Management Coordinator and
recognize the $165,000 insurance payment from the platform.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The Emergency Management Coordinator will provide a higher level of awareness and expertise
prepare for emergency situations and directing staff to maximize benefits during an event. The
additional insurance funds will help outfit the new platform engine and help outfit the blocker engine to
prevent any future accidents on active engines during a response.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 20-T-27 on final reading.
I W 0WR 0 1 LVA I WIXOM
The Emergency Management Coordinator annaul estimated weighted cost will be estimated at
$113,000 and paid for by the CARES act funding until December 31 st before it will be covered by the
City's FY 2020-21 Proposed Budget.
The $165,000 insurance payment will cover equipment purchases and outfitting of engines in the Fire
Department.

The owner or operator of a municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) facility shall
comply with any other applicable federal rules, laws, regulations or other
requirements.
(b) All permits, including any special provisions therein, issued by the

requirements of subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). For those Federally mandated requirements, the permittee is under an
obligation to apply for a change to his permit in accordance with Federal and State
law, as applicable, to incorporate the required standard. Timely submission of a
request for a permit change qualifies the owners or operators of existing MSWLF
units for interim status. MSWLF facility owners or operators with interim status are

waste management rules. This is the principle rule municipal solid waste managers
utilize; and

management of hazardous waste, both industrial and municipal. It also outlines
how industrial solid waste is handled and when it can be deposited in municipal
solid waste landfills.
(e) Regional and local plans. Every region in the State is completing a regional
plan. The regions are defined by the existing regional Councils of Government
established by the State Legislature. These regional plans outline important data
in analyzing the solid waste needs or to help with problem solving. The regional or
local plan should be consulted for guidance or consistency in solving a problem or
deciding on a course of action. In either case, the solid waste manager should be
consistent with the plan, or seek amendment to the plan, before proceeding to
implement a solution.
