Mr. Perez described the objective and potential courses of action regarding the SEDC
Board request to evaluate the recommendation to lead the installation of gateway
monument/signage along north and southbound lanes of IH-35. He presented various
recommendations, considerations, scope updates, and estimated total budget which
included the following information:
In FY 2021, the SEDC would focus on finalizing scope and securing support from City
Council and partners such as the Chamber. It would also include work with TxDOT
regarding regulations and right-of-way. As Mr. Perez described, the SEDC would initially
begin carrying forward Promotional Dollars as permitted by State statute and commence
initial design.
In FY 2022, the SEDC would establish monument messaging and tie to the planned
Comprehensive Plan and design and launch a commemorative website for the 65 years of
development in Schertz; since its incorporation as a City. This year's activities would
include efforts to solicit contributions for the monuments and include all final TxDOT
approvals and public support for the initial design.
Finally, in FY 2023, the SEDC would issue RFP's for the final design and constructio
and unveil the monument. SEDC would also adopt and fund a maintainance plan for t-1
