Public Hearings
9. Ordinance No. 21. -S -49 - Conduct a Public Hearing and Consideration and /or
action approving an Ordinance by the City Council of the City of Schertz,
Texas amending Article 15 replacing Section 21.15.4, of the City of Schertz
Unified Development Code, Easements and Utilities; Repealing all
Ordinances or Parts of Ordinance in Conflict with this Ordinance, and
providing an effective date. (First Reading) (C. Kelm/S. Williams)
The following was read into record:
ORDINANCE NO. 21 -S -49
AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCYERTZ,
TEXAS REPLACING SECTION 21.15.4 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES, ARTICLE XV, EASEMENTS AND UTILITIES,
REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN
CONFLICT WITH THIS ORDINANCE; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE - First Reading
Mayor Gutierrez recognized Public Works Director Suzanne Williams who
introduced this item stating Article 1.5, Section 21.15.4- Easements and
Utilities states that all utilities shall be located in the front yard, installed
underground, and if placed above ground the poles must be steel. The
rigidness of the language without flexibility makes it very difficult to
consistently enforce. The Ordinance is being updated to clarify to
the customer how and where utility poles can be installed underground or
overhead to ensure the installation of utility poles meet the City's standards.
In addition, the current language does not provide clarification to the
developer and /or City staff as to the direction for utility growth in Schertz in
different zones. So waivers have consistently been given and there are
currently utility poles installed above ground, underground, on one side of
the street, both sides of the street, and are both wooden and steel poles.
Because it is in the City's best interest to coordinate and regulate the
placement of public and private utilities, the City proposes to clarify Article 15
to help ensure reliable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing infrastructure. The
proposal provides guidelines to developers and City staff to direct the growth
of the City in the direction the City desires. In addition, flexibility is included
in the article that considers both overhead and underground utilities to ensure
cost - effective utilities for the residents.
Such regulations and coordination shall be managed under the UDC.

This article was approved by the Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission on
November 17, 2021.
.Mayor Gutierrez opened the public hearing for those wishing to speak and
recognized the following:
• Mr. Glen Outlaw, 3729 Forsyth Park- Mr. Outlaw, as Chairman of the
Planning and Zoning he wanted to address two issues. Mr. Outlaw stated
that the Planning and Zoning Commission forwarded it to City Council
with recommendation of approval. The first concern was the lighting
standards and that they were compatible with JB SA Randolph and how
they would communicate with them on these issues. The other concern
was the part about installing poles and providing conduit with
installation. They wanted to make sure it stated that the city will decide if
a project will need conduit or not.
As there were no others wishing to speak, Mayor Gutierrez closed the public
hearing. Mayor Gutierrez asked if they had discussed clearance on the height
of the poles. Councilman Brown appreciates the flexibility being written into
the document. Ms. Williams stated that the concerns that the Planning and
Zoning had were addressed.
Mayor Pro -Tem Dahle asked about the utilities being underground vs.
overhead installation. If overhead installation was needed, the developer
would request it with a waiver. The current ordinance does not allow
overhead, so staff added flexibility into the ordinance to address those issues.
Mayor Pro -Tem Dahle asked about the requirements underground and when
conduit was needed. Assistant City Manager Kelm explained that our
franchise agreements outlines the standards needed for underground
installation and the City follows those agreements.
Dr. Browne thanked the staff for their hard work on expanding and clarifying
the ordinance on such matters. It will cut down on the request for waivers
with this expanded ordinance.
Moved by Councilmember David Scagliola, seconded by Councilmember
Tim Brown to approve Ordinance No. 21 -5 -49 on first reading.

Workshop
11. Workshop and Presentation providing an overview and summary of the City
Council and Planning and Zoning Commission Sub Committee (B. James)
Mayor Gutierrez recognized Assistant City Manager Brian James who
provided the following overview information which came out of several
Sub - Committee meetings:
General Overview:
-The City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission held a joint
meeting where they discussed current issues for current and proposed
development standards for the City of Schertz.
•It was decided to create a smaller group to discuss the pressing concerns
that each board had.
-The subcommittee was created which consisted of 6 members, members
identified below:
—3 members from City Council
-Councilmember Jill Whittaker, Chair for the subcommittee
-Mayor Pro -Tem Michael Dahle
-Councilmember David Scagliola
—3 members from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
-Commissioner Richard Braud
-Commissioner Earl Platt
-Commissioner Jimmy Odom
-The subcommittee met for their first meeting on September 7th and held
a total of 7 meetings
-During the course of the meetings there were discussions on:
—Lot sizes / density
—Set backs
— Straight Zoning
— Planned Development Districts
— Design Standards
—Tree Mitigation Fee Caps
-After much discussion, the consensus from the subcommittee was to
recommend allowing straight zoning for R -6 and R -7, currently
prohibited from being requested, with the caveat that the allowance
would only occur if:
—There are approved upon residential subdivision design standards
—A limitation on the size of areas that can be zoned R -6 and R -7,
specifically,
•R -6:
•R -7
— 7,200sq ft minimum lot area
— Maximum of 40 acres allowable
—6,600 sq ft minimum lot area
— Maximum of 30 acres allowable
-The subcommittee outlined the following as design standards that are to
be included in all residential developments as desired by the City:
—Two off street parking spaces must be provided for mailbox kiosks
— Mailboxes must be covered
— Curvilinear streets are desired, and specific standards will be
provided for developers to follow
-For example, a residential street cannot be over 500 feet without the
center line deflecting at least 30 feet. Shorter streets under 500 feet can
be straight.
Usable Open Space needs to be provided
-Specifically, 1 acre for the first 100 lots, and a 1/2 acre for the next 100
lots
-Open space needs to be disbursed in the development with a 1/z acre
minimum of open space
-The purpose of the Planned Development Districts are to promote and
encourage innovative development in the City of Schertz. It is a way for
the developer to take the current regulations and build upon those to
make a unique development that stands out, among others.
13
-The subcommittee was made aware that developers are needing clearer
direction of what the city is wanting to see within the PDD's. Therefore,
the subcommittee created a list of items they would want to see within
Planned Development Districts.
Assistant City Manager Brian James stated that staff will go back and work
with Planning and Zoning to finalize the standards that were discussed.
Councilmember Jill Whittaker stated that the Sub - Committee spent over 8 -9
hours discussing these issues. She thanked the staff for preparing the
information on the topics that were discussed. The Sub - Committee
compromised on many issues and collectively agreed on several issues
presented tonight. Mayor Pro -Tem Dahle agreed that the end results were a
compromise and stated that he believes these standards will be good for the
city. Councilmember Scagliola stated that most of the topics the
Sub - Committee were in agreement in many of the concerns, and it was just a
matter of finding the right verbiage. Mayor Gutierrez thanked the
Sub - Committee and Staff for working together on this project.
Subcommittee Outcomes Tree Mitigation Fee Cap
-Currently tree mitigation is calculated at $100 per DBH
— Protected Trees (trees 8 "- 24 ") are mitigated at a 1:1 ratio- or $100 per
inch
— Heritage Trees (trees 24" or greater) are mitigated at a 3:1 ratio- or
$300 per inch
-The general intent of the Tree Mitigation program is to get the developer to
be thoughtful about which trees they take out when they develop property.
-However, the current mitigation rates for heavily wooded lots can cause a
significant amount of tree mitigation fee to be due. The goal behind the tree
mitigation program is not about collecting money but making sure the
developers are thoughtful with their design and construction.
-Based on this there was discussion on capping the tree mitigation fee that
could be collected on a per acre basis.
-Based on the discussions at the subcommittee meeting, staff was directed to
proceed forward with a proposed UDC Amendment to cap the tree mitigation
fee that can be collected to $10,000 per acre.
Mayor Gutierrez stated he liked this recommendation and developers will
know the potential costs for tree mitigation moving forward with their
project. With the current standards, developer would not know the costs of
tree mitigation before getting a tree survey done. With a cap, the developer
will get a sense of what costs they are potentially looking at. Councilmember
Brown and Councilmember Heyward wanted to confirm that other part of the
Im
current tree mitigation standards would not change, only the cap of $10,000 an
acre was recommended.
Councilmember Davis stated he does not see the cap being more beneficial to
what we currently have with the tree mitigation program. He continued in
stating that we currently penalize developers with heavily wooded lots
compared to developers with open lots. There are no details to how the
$10,000 cap is achieved and if it is possible to have the developers sidestep
the costs without definitive details of the Tree Mitigation Program written
out. Councilmember Davis believes this does not meet the spirit of the intent
moving forward on how we properly look at a piece of property and give
guidance to a developer.
Assistant City Manager Brian James stated that no property is created equal,
and there is no way to equalize that detail. If City Council would like Staff to
work on other options, they will discuss it in further detail and come back to
Council.
Councilmember Davis would like to see some comparisons on previous
projects' costs and the costs if the $10,000 cap was in place. ACM James will
put some comparison data together and bring it back to Council. He will also
contact developers who have done work in the city and ask them how much
their tree survey cost. ACM James explained that the tree survey helps the
developer with the current requirements to save a certain percentage of trees
on the property. Without the survey there is not a way to know what is on
their property. ACM James and staff will go back and discuss the current tree
mitigation, tree surveys, heritage trees, landscaping requirements and take
time to really look at all these issues.

apparatus is $1,298,921 and will be reimbursed by voter approved bonds issued later in 2022.

previous fiscal year.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

balance at the end of the fiscal year. This adjustment will use $1,390,727 of fund balance that will be

Meeting:
Department: Finance
Subject: Resolution 21 -R -130 - Consideration and approval of a Resolution relating to
establishing the city's intention to reimburse itself for the prior lawful
expenditure of funds relating to constructing various city improvements from the
proceeds of tax - exempt obligations to be issued by the city for authorized
purposes; authorizing other matters incident and related thereto; and providing
an effective date. (M. Browne/J. Walters)
I IYXI G Kl1 ZII00117
This resolution will allow the City to make purchases in advance of upcoming debt issuances and pay
itself back once the debt funds have arrived.
With this resolution, the City will be allowed to make expenses on the voter approved Fire Station 4
project and pay itself back later. Funds expensed must be approved by council by a budget adjustment
and will come from reserves.
Staff recommends using this to purchase a Fire Apparatus for Station 4 that was included in the bonds.
The apparatus is quoted to be $1,298,921 and will see a price increase in January estimated to be
$80,000. The construction and delivery time is about 13 months from placing the order putting it after
January 2023 before it would arrive.
The City also gets a $40,000 discount for paying the full amount up front. By signing the contract now
and using this resolution, the City could save $120,000.
It is for this reason, staff recommends approving this resolution and purchasing the new fire apparatus
now.
GOAL
To get approval for the City to pay itself back for debt related purchases made before the debt is issued.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The community would benefit with additional savings on the apparatus, ensuring the engine is available
when the station opens, and the new vehicle could help the city's fleet while the station is built.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approving this resolution which will allow debt purchases to be made now and the
funds returned to the city once debt has been issued.
Motion" I Move that the City Council adopt a Reimbursement Resolution"
Any funds expended out of the General Fund will be returned once the voter approved debt has been
issued. Until then the funds will be fronted by the General Fund reserves. The reserves minimum 26%
of operating expenditures' requirement is $10,100,000 and the fund balance is estimated to be at
$12,700,000 by the end of FY 2021 -22 or $2,600,000 over the requirement. With the payment of the
$1,298,000 for the fire engine the city will still be above its minimum fund balance requirement while
the city waits for the bond reimbursement.

City Council December 14, 2021
Meeting:
Department: Executive Team
Agenda No. 4.
Subject: Resolution No. 21 -R -125 - Consideration and /or action approving a Resolution by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas establishing a public hearing date to
consider the approval of updated land use assumptions, capital improvement
plan, and impact fees for roads; and providing an effective date. (M. Browne /B.
James)
State Law limits the imposition of roadway impact fees to areas within the City limits, unlike water and
sewer impact fees which can be charged outside the city limits. When the City adopts or updates the
impact fees, one item adopted is an impact fee service area map, indicating what areas /properties are
subject to impact fees. So when the City annexes land, those properties are not automatically subject to
roadway impact fees. In order to impose roadway impact fees on these areas /properties, the City must
amend its roadway impact fee ordinance and update the study and service area on which the roadway
impact fees are based.
City Staff has been working with Freese and Nichols, Inc. on this amendment. The first step in
considering adopting these items is to approve a resolution announcing the City's intent to update the
Roadway Impact Fees. So to be clear, the resolution proposed for City Council consideration on
December 14, 2021 does not actually change the roadway impact fees - it simply begins that process.
City Council will consider the actual amendment on February 1, 2022.
GOAL
Begin the process of updating the City's Roadway Impact Fee ordinance to include recently annexed
areas.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Provide for the orderly development of road infrastructure and an appropriate funding mechanism.
Approval of Resolution 21 -R -125 that establishes a public hearing date to consider the approval of
updated land use assumptions, capital improvement plan, and impact fees for road; and providing an
effective date.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Resolution 21 -R -1.25.

City Council December 14, 2021
Meeting:
Department: City Secretary
Subject: Ordinance No. 21 -S -49 - Consideration and /or action approving an Ordinance by the
City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas amending Article 15 replacing
Section 21.15.4, of the City of Schertz Unified Development Code, Easements and
Utilities; Repealing all Ordinances or Parts of Ordinance in Conflict with
this Ordinance, and providing an effective date. (Final Reading) (C. Kelm /S.
Williams)
IYXI GX1III00117
Article 15, Section 21.15.4- Easements and Utilities states that all utilities shall be located in the front
yard, installed underground, and if placed above ground the poles must be steel. The rigidness of the
language without flexibility makes it very difficult to consistently enforce.
In addition, the current language does not provide clarification to the developer and /or City staff as to
the direction for utility growth in Schertz in different zones. So waivers have consistently been given
and there are currently utility poles installed above ground, underground, on one side of the street, both
sides of the street, and are both wooden and steel poles. Because it is in the City's best interest
to coordinate and regulate the placement of public and private utilities, the City proposes to clarify
Article 15 to help ensure reliable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing infrastructure. The proposal provides
guidelines to developers and City staff to direct the growth of the City in the direction the City desires.
In addition, flexibility is included in the article that considers both overhead and underground utilities to
ensure cost - effective utilities for the residents.
Such regulations and coordination shall be managed under the UDC.
At the November 17, 2021, Planning and Zoning Commission a public hearing was held, no one
spoke. After a discussion between staff and the Commission, the Planning and Zoning Commission .
recommended approval of the UDC amendment with a 4 -0 vote.
A public hearing notice was published in the San Antonio Express News on November 19th prior to the
public hearing that was held in association with the first reading for this ordinance. At the December 7,
2021 City Council meeting a public hearing was held. One resident spoke in relation to the discussion
that occurred between the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff related to this item. After the
public hearing concluded, the City Council approved Ord. No. 21 -S -49 on first reading with a
unanimous vote.
GOAL
The Ordinance is being updated to clarify to the customer how and where utility poles can be installed
underground or overhead to ensure the installation of utility poles meet the City's standards.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The changes to Article 15 provide a more clear explanation of the standard of how and where utility
poles are installed. Benefits of adopting these standards include:
. Improving visibility along public rights -of -way
2. Protecting the utility facilities from damage due to vehicular impact.
I Reducing obstructions in the path of vehicles driving off of a right -of -way.
4. Facilitating fewer wind outages with lower costs to utility providers for restoration of outages due
to wind, translating into lower costs for utility customers.
5. Reducing interference with the existing tree canopies.
6. Improving the aesthetics of an area by removing above - ground utility poles, lines and
above - ground appurtenances from view.
7. Increasing property values.
Staff recommends City Council adopt Ordinance 21 -S -49 on final reading to amend article 15 by
replacing section 21.15.4.
No fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission at the November 17, 2021 meeting offered a recommendation of

Express" on November 19, 2021, prior to the City Council public hearing. At the time of this staff
report staff has received zero (0) responses in favor or opposed to the zone change.
The Crossvine PDD 6th Amendment is proposed to develop the 2.5 acres of land as single - family
residential lots consisting of 3 categories, identified below.
• DSFR(l) will have a lot size no less than five thousand five hundred (5,500) square feet with a
minimum dimensions of fifty (50) feet wide by one hundred and ten (110) feet deep. The DSFR
(1) will have a maximum dwelling size, of conditioned area, of three thousand five hundred
nineteen (3,519) square feet.
• DSFR(2) will have a lot size no less than seven thousand two hundred (7,200) square feet with a
minimum dimensions of sixty (60) feet wide by one hundred and twenty (120) feet deep. The
DSFR (2) will have a maximum dwelling size, of conditioned area, of four thousand and fourteen
(4,014) square feet.
• DSFR(3) will have a lot size no less than eight thousand four hundred (8,400) square feet with a
minimum dimensions of seventy (70) feet wide by one hundred twenty (120) feet deep. The
DSFR (3) will have a maximum dwelling size, of conditioned area, of four thousand five hundred
and nine (4,509) square feet.
The DSFR(1), DSFR(2), and DSFR(3) land use categories, are further described on the full table
identified on page 4 of The Crossvine PDD Sixth Amendment- Design Standards.
GOAL
The goal of the proposed zone change is to incorporate an additional 2.5 acre of land into The
Crossvine Planned Development (PDD) and to apply the terms, conditions, and requirements associated
in the existing The Crossvine Module IIIB.
WIWIhyl1001111114:1 0101 81 11Yr
It is the City's desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the
City's vision of future growth.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Schertz Sector Plan identifies the subject property, as Estate
Neighborhood. Traditionally, Estate Neighborhood is designed to be 0.5 acre tracts, but due to the fact
that the property is surrounded by property already zoned as part of The Crossvine PDD, the Estate
Neighborhood classification does not seem appropriate at this time.
• Impact of Infrastructure: The proposed zoning should have minimal impact on the existing and
planned water and wastewater systems in the area.
• Impact of Public Facilities /Services: The proposed rezoning request should have minimal impact
on public services, such as schools, fire, police, parks, and sanitation services.
• Compatibility with Existing and Potential. Adjacent Land Uses: The subject property
is surrounded by undeveloped land that is zoned for The Crossvine PDD and FM 1518 right of
way. Staff believes that the rezoning request, essentially to incorporate an
approximately 2.5 acres into the existing Crossvine PDD will be compatible with the surrounding
properties since they are already a part of The Crossvine PDD project area.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
The approximately 2.5 acres of land is currently surrounded by The Crossvine PDD zoned properties,
and the proposal to incorporate this additional 2.5 acres of land into The Crossvine Module IIIB shall
have minimal impact on the adjacent properties. The Crossvine Module IIIB is designed to incorporate
the land use categories of DSFR (1), DSFR (2), and DSFR (3) as well as retain the design elements that
make The Crossvine unique such as accessible green spaces, walking trails, meandering roadways, and
intimate cul -de -sacs. Additionally, this proposed zone change will take a portion of property that would
otherwise be surrounded by Crossvine zoned property and incorporate it into the Crossvine project, so
there is no longer a remainder property.
Based on the conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the
minimal impact on the adjacent properties, and the conformance to The Crossvine design standards,
staff recommends approval of the proposed zone change for the approximately 2.5 acres of land.
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 17, 2021, and offered
a recommendation of approval with a vote of 4 -0. Therefore, staff supports the recommendation made
by the Planning and Commission and recommends approval of The Crossvine PDD 6th Amendment.
The City Council conducted a public hearing on December 7, 2021, and offered a recommendation of
approval with a vote of 6 -1. The agenda item will go back to City Council on December 14, 2021 for
discussion.

The Crossvine PDD Sixth Amendment
The Sedona Trails PDD was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council of
Schertz, Texas on January 24, 2012 (the " Sedona Trails PDD ") by Ordinance 12 -5 -01. The history and prior
iterations of the Sedona Trails PDD are more specifically detailed and set forth in the preamble to the
Sedona Trails PDD which was approved on January 24, 2012. The Sedona Trails PDD was subsequently
amended by (i) Ordinance 12 -S -16 on August 21, 2012 (the "First Amendment ") (ii) Ordinance 14 -S -08
on March 11th, 2014 (the "Second Amendment "), (iii) Ordinance 17 -5 -01 on February 28, 2017 (the
"Third Amendment "), (iv) Ordinance 21 -5 -08 on April 6, 2021 (the "Fourth Amendment "), (v) Ordinance
21 -5 -22 on June 22, 2021 (the "Fifth Amendment ")and renamed The Crossvine PDD along with detailing
and defining certain items referenced in the Sedona Trails PDD which were unresolved and primarily
focusing on Community and Public Amenity Standards, Architectural Design Standards for single -
family residences, and related matters of clarification (collectively, the Sedona Trails PDD and the First
Amendment are hereinafter referred to as "The Crossvine PDD ").
As contemplated in The Crossvine PDD, this Amendment (the "Sixth Amendment ") is the continuation of
the definition of the Overall Conceptual Master Plan and is primarily focused on the addition of property
to The Crossvine PDD (which is hereinafter referred to as "Module IIIB "). For the purposes of this Sixth
Amendment, defined terms set forth in The Crossvine PDD are hereby incorporated by reference and
included herein and reference shall be made to The Crossvine PDD for specific elements which are not
specifically defined or otherwise set forth herein.
The Crossvine PDD remains in full force and effect with the exception of the matters addressed herein
which shall be considered to be amendments to The Crossvine PDD. Elements, requirements, and
conditions set forth in The Crossvine PDD shall be deemed to apply to those portions of the Property
addressed by this Sixth Amendment unless specifically excluded, changed, or modified. Similarly, nothing
in this Sixth Amendment shall be deemed to modify any elements, requirements, or conditions of The
Crossvine PDD unless specifically noted herein.
The UDC for the City establishes certain requirements and standards for the development of Planned
Development Districts. The version of the UDC (and regulations, fees, etc. associated therewith)
applicable to the Project Area shall control all development standards except to the extent modified by
this Sixth Amendment, The Crossvine PDD, or by the original Sedona PUD. Provisions of the UDC shall be
interpreted to be consistent with The Crossvine PDD (as amended) and, in the event of any apparent
conflict, the UDC shall be deemed amended to give full effect to The Crossvine PDD (as amended).

Amendments to The Crossvine PDD Section 2: Legal Description /Metes and Bounds
Addition of Property to The Crossvine PDD Project Area
The Crossvine PDD Project Area is expanded by this Sixth Amendment to include one additional tract of
land. This tract shall be incorporated into Module III and more specifically into Module 1116. Briefly
described, the additional included tract of land (the "Additional Tract ") is:
1. A 2.4101 acre tract generally located SE of The Crossvine Module IIIA and west of FM 1518
( "Additional Tract 1 ").
A legal description and survey of the tract of land noted above and to be included in The Crossvine PDD
pursuant to this Sixth Amendment is included as Exhibit 1. In addition, a location map which graphically
depicts the location of the above referenced tract is included as Exhibit 2.
Additional Tract; Zoning and PDD Applicability
Module IIIB shall be developed as single - family residential lots as currently allowed and governed by The
Crossvine PDD or as may ultimately be permitted or allowed by The Crossvine PDD. The zoning for the
Additional Tract and the applicability of The Crossvine PDD to such Additional Tract shall be:
Additional Tract 1: Shall be incorporated into Module IIIB and the terms, conditions and
requirements associated with Module I and Module IIIB shall apply as set
forth in The Crossvine PDD, this Amendment, and contemplated
subsequent amendments.
Provided, however, as it relates to the Additional Tract, the current use of such property shall continue to
be permitted, including, but not limited to additional improvements, renovations, structures, etc. which
are ancillary to the current use of such property.
10/20/2021
2
It is intended that Additional Tract 1 which is being added to the PDD Project Area by this Sixth Amendment
shall be subject to the same restrictions and shall be the beneficiary of the same rights and entitlements
as Module 1116 as granted and provided by the Fourth Amendment. For the purposes of clarity and ease
of reference, it is hereby provided that:
7.1.1 Module 1118 (Inclusion of Additional Tract 1)
Additional Tract 1 is added to Module 111B. Module 1118 shall be developed with single-family residential
development and will likely be composed primarily of DSFR (1); although any Detached Single - Family
Residential (DSFR(1)- DSFR(3)) shall be permitted in Module 1118 as well as any Detached Single - Family
Residential lots which may be permitted in any subsequent amendment to The Crossvine PDD. Module I11B
abuts Module IIIA on its northern boundary, FM 1518 along its eastern boundary, and Ware Seguin Road
on its southern boundary. The design for Module IIIB shall be a natural extension of the land plan design
and development aesthetic of The Crossvine. The dominant theme and aesthetics of The Crossvine of
accessible greenspace, walking trails, meandering roadways and intimate cul -de -sacs will be maintained.
The construction, landscaping, signage, and other features in Module 111 will adhere to the Public Amenity
and Architectural Standards as previously established by The Crossvine PDD for Module I.
It is hereby agreed that the zoning for Additional Tract 1 in Module IIIB (collectively, the "Module 1118 Zoning
Categories ") shall be:
Single- Family Residential: The area designated as Single- Family Residential shall include DSFR(1)-
DSFR(3) or any subsequently approved single-family zoning along with the
ancillary uses in the development of such areas (e.g., greenbelts, mail
kiosks, amenity centers, etc.).

Local Government Corporation series 2014 and 2015 bonds. (M. Browne /C.
Kelm /M. McLiney /A. Friedman)
SSLGC has two outstanding Bonds (2014 Bonds refunded (for savings) the Series 2005 Bonds
and 2015 Bonds refunded (for savings) the Series 2007 Bonds AND the purchase of land for the 1 st
phase of the Guadalupe Project ($7,300,000).) that will become callable in 2022. As in the past, when
the Corporation has callable bonds that can be refunded for interest rate savings, the Corporation has
replaced the bonds with higher interest rates with lower interest rate bonds. In this instance, expected
savings will be approximately $4,500,000 - $5,000,000. SSLGC is subject to interest rate risk between
now and January 25th when the Bonds are priced, so savings could be more or less than what is showing.
The refunding of the outstanding bonds must be approved by both City Councils of Seguin and Schertz.
GOAL
To take advantage of current low interest rates by refunding SSLGC 2014 and 2015 Series bonds.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Refunding of these bonds has the potential to reduce the debt service of the Corporation by $4,500,000
- 5,000,000 taking advantage of the current low interest rates.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
No action requested at this time. The parameters of the refunding opportunity will be brought to
Council on January 11, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Corporation can expect to save an estimated $4,500,000 - $5,000,000 with this refunding,
dependent on the current interest rates.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends SAMCO proceeding with pursuing the refunding opportunity.

Policy updates and review

We are coming to the final stages of policy review. All policies that remained in the archive
policy book have been completed, all non - existent policies have been created and final review
and updates of current policy are being completed at this time. As December 7, 2021, we have
4 policies remaining final review.
2. Training
With the implementation of new policies, each posted policy is sent out with a test attached,
therefore providing the Department a means to evaluate staffs understanding of each policy. We
have also created an in- service training program that will take place in the spring and fall of
each year. In- service training will include policy reviews and updates, along with firearms
training in both day and nighttime settings.
3. Reconciliation
Upon completion of all polices, we will begin reconciling all Department policies against Best
Practices standards, ensuring that we've met all Best Practices.
4. Property Room Audit
The Department is contracting with an outside vendor to perform a property room audit. In
addition to the audit, the contractor will ensure we are in compliance with Best Practices
standards. The audit will take place in January 2022.
5. Best Practices
Upon completion of the Reconciliation and Property Room Audit, we will begin the
application for the Best Practices Program.
