National Preparedness Month
BACKGROUND
The Ready Campaign's 2023 National Preparedness Month campaign will focus on preparing the older
adults in our community ready for a disaster, specifically older adults from communities that are
typically impacted by the all-hazard events, which continue to threaten the nation. We know older
adults can face greater risks when it comes to the multitude of extreme weather events and emergencies
we now face, especially if they are living alone, are on a fixed-income, have a disability, or live in rural
areas. Emergency managers and all those who work with and support older adult communities are
encouraged to assist this population in accessing the new Ready.gov webpage available in English and
Spanish languages at ready.gov/older-adults and ready.gov/es/adultos-mayores for initial messaging,
graphics and resources.

Sandee Goodrich, 3933 Windy Brook
Richard Dziewit, 2550 Chase Field Dr, Schertz, expressed his thanks to the City Council and staff for
the acknowledgment given to the Boards and Commissions. He stated that it's important for citizens to
know they are able to get into an organization that can benefit the City, helping to maintain a
community in a city that is growing as well as we are.
Michelle Tereletsky, 705 Marilyn Drive, Schertz, stated she had been a resident for 46 years. She has
watched, and is thankful for, the growth of the City, stating that if you don't grow you become stagnant
and you die. Her concern is the blatant disregard for the rule that states 'all remarks shall be addressed
to Council as a body' by a certain resident who points at a particular Councilmember and makes
'snarky' remarks. This is disrespectful to every member of Council, to the residents who voted for that
Council person, and the residents who come consistently to meetings and follow the rules. She called
2
upon Council to take action the next time the person violates the rule, or to get rid of the rule.
Robert Westbrook, 4073 Brook Hollow, Schertz, came to introduce himself to Council as a candidate
for the November 7, 2023, General Election. He is a graduate of Churchill High School and Southwest
Texas State University. He went on to receive a Master of Business Administration degree from
Webster University. He has been a member of the San Antonio Fire Department for 24 years, currently
a Division Chief for the Office of the Fire Marshal, responsible for Hazardous Materials Inspections
and special events. He has served on the SCUCISD School Board for a number of years and would
like to now serve at the municipal level.
Jinjer LeVan, 1504 Red Cedar Cove, expressed concern for the postal carriers who didn't have water to
refill their bottles while on duty nor in the restrooms of their building. She also expressed concern
regarding K-9 Officer Medor and provided personal experience with service dogs. She offered her
services to the Schertz Police Department stating she offers free consultant services related to
service and working dogs.
Mayor Gutierrez thanked everyone for the concern expressed regarding K-9 Officer Medor. He shared
the following statement:
It is our highest priority to ensure the safety and wellness of our K-9. Medor's keen and
impressive senses make him a valuable and effective law enforcement officer in every sense.
Schertz Police Department has invested considerable resources in Medor's highly specialized
training and care. Medor has been trained to assist members of law enforcement with various
tasks, adding an extra layer of security to the community. Unfortunately, the circumstances of
Medor's previous handler's recent departure is beyond our control. However, it is our goal to
ensure and continue to support the best outcome for our K-9 officer, taking into account, his
well-being and to meet the requirements of his role and his future success as our police dog.

with the City of Schertz for the past 10 years and have recently done a comprehensive review
of the water and wastewater rate fund. Mr. Jackson gave a synopsis of the water industry,
including costs incurred in the process of providing water, then provided the following as it
pertains to the City of Schertz:
Monthly residential charges - 10,000 gallons of water/5,000 gallons of wastewater
Water rates increase with usage to incentive conservation
Schertz's residents pay on average $98.97/month; which compare favorably to
neighboring cities and is almost $20 below state average
Billed consumption average annual growth at a rate of 1.8%
City is adding 300–400 accounts per year
Recommendation: City implement a 2% increase in water rate and 3% increase in
wastewater rate effective October 1, 2023; forecast rate adjustments will be similar over
the next four years.
Benefits to Ratepayers and the City for adopting the rate plan include:
Prudent management by City staff has enabled magnitude of rate adjustments to be
minimized;
1.
Proposed rate plan enables the utility to fully fund all water and wastewater
maintenance, operating and construction costs;
2.
Will provide for the Utility Fund to operate self-sufficiently with no need for
General Fund subsidies; and
3.
Enables the City to continually provide safe drinking water and effectively treat
wastewater.

City they are currently out of compliance due to outdated, rigid requirements. Staff has
researched Home Occupation regulations at eight other municipalities and drafted proposed
amendments based on their findings and incorporating development subcommittee
recommendations. Staff recommends approval of the amendments to the UDC which will
provide clarity and flexibility to Home Occupations.
Mayor Gutierrez opened the Public Hearing.
Ms. Jinjer LeVan, 1504 Red Cedar Cove, addressed Council with concerns that the
amendments are in direct opposition to her subdivision's Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions, and Restrictions. She cited businesses that would generate traffic create an issue
since the streets cannot support additional use. She indicated a number of subdivisions would
not like needing to modify existing declarations.
Mayor Gutierrez closed the Public Hearing and asked Mr. Haas to brief Council on the effect
23-S-15 would have on HOAs. Mr. James responded to the question that the HOAs can have
their own restrictions, but it is on the property owners to enforce the limits themselves.
Mayor Gutierrez opened the floor to Council for discussion. No discussion occurred.

Official City Holidays •Juneteenth Discussion
Assistant City Manager Sarah Gonzalez opened the discussion on recognizing the
Juneteenth Day as a City Holiday. It would cost the city approx, $35,000.00 in
salary. If Juneteenth falls on a Tuesday/Thursday, staff would get the
Monday/Friday off as well costing the city approx, $70,000.00. Several
surrounding cities have added it to their holiday schedule. Staff recommends
adding it to the Holiday Schedule without removing one of the floating holidays.
6
The discussion brought up many good points. Adding the holiday to the list
without taking or switching it with a current holiday. Other cities, counties,
agencies, federal offices are closed that day, so no regular business could occur at
the city. Wanting to be a premier city, adding the holiday and giving this benefit
to our employees goes along with wanting to get compensation to the midpoint or
higher. Comments that were opposed to adding the holiday ranged from the
possibility of giving staff a two-day holiday if it falls on a Tuesday or Thursday
doubling the holiday cost for Juneteenth.
Discussion and Action Items
2.Action Item-Set Preliminary Tax Rate:
City Manager Steve Williams explained that the city is presenting the No New
Revenue Rate and Voter Approval rate that were calculated by our tax assessor
collector, and we are required to bring these forward for presentation.The Proposed Tax

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council
Meeting:September 5, 2023
Department:Emergency Medical Services
Subject:Resolution 23-R-90 - Approving a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to
enter into an Interlocal Agreement and Business Associate Agreement with
Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council (STRAC) for a data
management system for electronic patient care records (ePCR) and Fire records
management system (FireRMS). (S. Williams/J. Mabbitt/G. Rodgers)
BACKGROUND
Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council (STRAC) is one of twenty-one regional advisory councils
in Texas. STRAC and the other advisory councils are designated by the Texas Department of State
Health Services (DSHS).
Schertz EMS and Schertz Fire have been participating in the regional data management system through
STRAC for patient care reports (ePCR) and Fire reports (FireRMS) for the last several years.
STRAC manages this solution for area agencies to streamline day-to-day reporting, improving the
collection of run data while providing reoccurring and on-demand State and custom reports as well as
managing inventory and department equipment.
The Business Associate Agreement (BAA), provides for the security of public health information (PHI)
to meet certain HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requirements.
GOAL
Authorizing the City Manager to enter into an interlocal agreement with STRAC for a data management
system for ePCR and FireRMS records.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
To further eliminate duplicative processes and repetitive data entry, STRAC coordinates and manages
the integration of ePCR and FireRMS to save additional time, money, and lives.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approving the attached ILA and BAA authorizing the City Manager to enter into
agreements with STRAC for a data management system for ePCR and FireRMS records.
FISCAL IMPACT
for EMS:
for EMS:
The annual base fee for the data management software is $3,000 and a fee of $3.00 per record/run. The
FY 2024 records are estimated at 13,886 or $41,658. Total cost for EMS is estimated at $44,658. These
funds have been accounted for in the FY24 budget. Future years will see a cost increase of 3% for
each record/run.
for Fire:
The annual base fee for the data management software is $3,000 and a fee of $3.00 per record/run. The
FY 2024 records are estimated at 5,112 or $15,336. Total cost for Fire is estimated at $18,336. These
funds have been accounted for in the FY24 budget. Future years will see a cost increase of 3% for
each record/run.

regulations, and City of Schertz, Texas (“Agency”), a political subdivision of the State of Texas.
Recitals
It is the purpose of this Agreement to establish a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship between
the parties and to set forth the relative responsibilities of the parties as they relate to the provision of certain

appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of
any paper or electronic PHI it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits

subcontractors shall be limited to legitimate business needs while
working with PHI.
5. Minimum Necessary. Business Associate shall ensure that all uses and
disclosures of PHI are subject to the principle of “minimum necessary use and

Associate agrees as follows:

maintained by Covered Entity, it will permit an Individual to inspect or
copy PHI about the Individual in that set as directed by Covered Entity
to meet the requirements of 45 C.F.R. § 164.524. If the PHI is in
electronic format, the Individual shall have a right to obtain a copy of
such information in electronic format and, if the Individual chooses, to
direct that an electronic copy be transmitted directly to an entity or
person designated by the individual in accordance with HITECH section
13405 (c). Under the Privacy Rule, Covered Entity is required to take
action on such requests as soon as possible, but not later than 30 days
following receipt of the request. Business Associate agrees to make
reasonable efforts to assist Covered Entity in meeting this deadline.
The information shall be provided in the form or format requested if it
is readily producible in such form or format; or in summary, if the
Individual has agreed in advance to accept the information in summary
form. A reasonable, cost-based fee for copying health information may
be charged. If Covered Entity maintains the requested records,
Covered Entity, rather than Business Associate shall permit access
according to its policies and procedures implementing the Privacy
Rule.
STRAC-BAA continued
Business Associate Agreement v. 202202 Page 6
(b) Individual Right to Amendment. Business Associate agrees, if it
maintains PHI in a Designated Record Set, to make amendments to PHI
at the request and direction of Covered Entity pursuant to 45 C.F.R.
164.526. If Business Associate maintains a record in a Designated
Record Set that is not also maintained by Covered Entity, Business
Associate agrees that it will accommodate an Individual’s request to
amend PHI only in conjunction with a determination by Covered Entity
that the amendment is appropriate according to 45 C.F.R. § 164.526.
(c) Accounting of Disclosures. Business Associate agrees to maintain
documentation of the information required to provide an accounting of
disclosures of PHI, whether PHI is paper or electronic format, in
accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.528 and HITECH Sub Title D Title VI
Section 13405 (c), and to make this information available to Covered
Entity upon Covered Entity’s request, in order to allow Covered Entity
to respond to an Individual’s request for accounting of disclosures.
Under the Privacy Rule, Covered Entity is required to take action on
such requests as soon as possible but not later than 60 days following
receipt of the request. Business Associate agrees to use its best efforts
to assist Covered Entity in meeting this deadline but not later than 45
days following receipt of the request.
8. Internal Practices, Policies and Procedures. Except as otherwise specified
herein, Business Associate shall make available its internal practices, policies
and procedures relating to the use and disclosure of PHI, received from or on
behalf of Covered Entity to the Secretary or his or her agents for the purpose
of determining Covered Entity’s and/or Business Associate’s compliance with
the HIPAA Rules, or any other health oversight agency, or to Covered Entity.
Records requested that are not protected by an applicable legal privilege will
be made available in the time and manner specified by Covered Entity or the
Secretary.
9. Notice of Privacy Practices. Business Associate shall abide by the limitations
of Covered Entity’s Notice of which it has knowledge.
10. Withdrawal of Authorization. If the use or disclosure of PHI in this Agreement
is based upon an Individual’s specific authorization for the use or disclosure
of his or her PHI, and the Individual revokes such authorization, the effective
date of such authorization has expired, or such authorization is found to be
defective in any manner that renders it invalid, Business Associate shall, if it
has notice of such revocation, expiration, or invalidity, cease the use and
disclosure of the Individual’s PHI except to the extent it has relied on such use
or disclosure, or if an exception under the Privacy Rule expressly applies.
STRAC-BAA continued
Business Associate Agreement v. 202202 Page 7
11. Knowledge of HIPAA Rules. Business Associate agrees to comply with the
applicable requirements of the HIPAA Rule, as well as any applicable
amendments.
12. Information Breach Notification for PHI. Business Associate expressly
recognizes that Covered Entity has certain reporting and disclosure
obligations to the Secretary and the Individual in case of a security breach of
unsecured PHI. Where Business Associate accesses, maintains, retains,
modifies, records, stores, destroys, or otherwise holds, uses or discloses
unsecured paper or electronic PHI, Business Associate immediately following
the discovery of a breach of such information, shall notify Covered Entity of
such breach. Initial notification of the breach does not need to be in
compliance with Sub Title D Title IV Section 13402 of the HITECH Act;
however, Business Associate must provide Covered Entity with all information
necessary for Covered Entity to comply with Sub Title D Title IV Section 13402
of the HITECH Act without reasonable delay, and in no case later than 30 days
following the discovery of the breach.
13. Breach Notification to Individuals. Business Associate’s duty to notify Covered
Entity of any breach does not permit Business Associate to notify those
individuals whose PHI has been breached by Business Associate without the
express written permission of Covered Entity to do so. Any and all notification
to those individuals whose PHI has been breached shall be made under the
direction, review and control of Covered Entity. The Business Associate will
notify the Privacy Officer via telephone with follow-up in writing to include;
name of individuals whose PHI was breached, information breached, date of
breach, form of breach, etc.
14. Information Breach Notification for Other Sensitive Personal Information. In
addition to the reporting under Section D.11, Business Associate shall notify
Covered Entity of any breach of computerized sensitive personal information
to assure Covered Entity’s compliance with the notification requirements of
Title 11, Subtitle B, Chapter 521, Subchapter A, Section 521.053, and Texas
Business & Commerce Code.
E. Permitted Uses and Disclosures by Business Associates. Except as otherwise limited in
this Agreement, Business Associate may use or disclose Protected Health Information to
perform functions, activities, or services for, or on behalf of, Covered Entity as specified
in this Business Associates Agreement, provided that such use or disclosure would not
violate the HIPAA Rules if done by Covered Entity or the minimum necessary policies and
procedures of the Covered Entity. Also, Business Associate may use PHI to report
violations of law to appropriate Federal and State authorities, consistent with the HIPAA
Rules. Business Associate acknowledges and agrees that Covered Entity owns all right,
title, and interest in and to all PHI, and that such right, title, and interest will be vested in
STRAC-BAA continued
Business Associate Agreement v. 202202 Page 8
Covered Entity. Neither Business Associate nor any of its employees, agents, consultants
or assigns will have any rights in any of the PHI, except as expressly set forth above.
F. Application of Security and Privacy Provisions to Business Associate.
1. Security Measures. Sections 164.308, 164.310, 164.312 and 164.316 of Title 45
of the Code of Federal Regulations dealing with the administrative, physical and
technical safeguards as well as policies, procedures and documentation
requirements that apply to Covered Entity shall in the same manner apply to
Business Associate. Any additional security requirements contained in Sub Title
D of Title IV of the HITECH Act that apply to Covered Entity shall also apply to
Business Associate. Pursuant to the foregoing requirements in this section, the
Business Associate will implement administrative, physical, and technical
safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of the paper or electronic PHI that it creates, has access
to, or transmits. Business Associate will also ensure that any agent, including a
subcontractor, to whom it provides such information, agrees to implement
reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect such information.
2. Privacy Provisions. The enhanced HIPAA privacy requirements including but not
necessarily limited to accounting for certain PHI disclosures for treatment,
restrictions on the sale of PHI, restrictions on marketing and fundraising
communications, payment and health care operations contained Subtitle D of the
HITECH Act that apply to the Covered entity shall apply to the Business Associate
to the extent applicable to the Business Associate.
3. Application of Civil and Criminal Penalties. If Business Associate violates any
security or privacy provision specified in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above,
sections 1176 and 1177 of the Social Security Act (42 U,S.C, 1320d-5, 1320d-5)
shall apply to Business Associate with respect to such violation in the same
manner that such sections apply to Covered Entity if it violates such provisions.
G. Term and Termination.

terminated when all PHI provided to Business Associate by Covered Entity, or
created or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity, is
destroyed or returned to Covered Entity.

Business Associate, Covered Entity shall provide an opportunity for Business
Associate to cure the breach or end the violation and terminate this Agreement ,

if Business Associate does not cure the breach or end the violation within the time
specified by Covered Entity.

that the return or destruction of PHI is not feasible, Business Associate shall
inform Covered Entity in writing of the reason thereof, and shall agree to extend
the protections of this Agreement to such PHI and limit further uses and
disclosures of the PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction of

copy PHI about the Individual in that set as directed by Covered Entity
to meet the requirements of 45 C.F.R. § 164.524. If the PHI is in
electronic format, the Individual shall have a right to obtain a copy of

person designated by the individual in accordance with HITECH section
13405 (c). Under the Privacy Rule, Covered Entity is required to take
action on such requests as soon as possible, but not later than 30 days

is readily producible in such form or format; or in summary, if the
Individual has agreed in advance to accept the information in summary
form. A reasonable, cost-based fee for copying health information may
be charged. If Covered Entity maintains the requested records,
Covered Entity, rather than Business Associate shall permit access
according to its policies and procedures implementing the Privacy
Rule.
STRAC-BAA continued
Business Associate Agreement v. 202202 Page 6
(b) Individual Right to Amendment. Business Associate agrees, if it
maintains PHI in a Designated Record Set, to make amendments to PHI
at the request and direction of Covered Entity pursuant to 45 C.F.R.
164.526. If Business Associate maintains a record in a Designated
Record Set that is not also maintained by Covered Entity, Business
Associate agrees that it will accommodate an Individual’s request to
amend PHI only in conjunction with a determination by Covered Entity
that the amendment is appropriate according to 45 C.F.R. § 164.526.
(c) Accounting of Disclosures. Business Associate agrees to maintain
documentation of the information required to provide an accounting of
disclosures of PHI, whether PHI is paper or electronic format, in
accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.528 and HITECH Sub Title D Title VI

be made available in the time and manner specified by Covered Entity or the
Secretary.
9. Notice of Privacy Practices. Business Associate shall abide by the limitations
of Covered Entity’s Notice of which it has knowledge.

is based upon an Individual’s specific authorization for the use or disclosure
of his or her PHI, and the Individual revokes such authorization, the effective
date of such authorization has expired, or such authorization is found to be
defective in any manner that renders it invalid, Business Associate shall, if it

STRAC-BAA continued

11. Knowledge of HIPAA Rules. Business Associate agrees to comply with the
applicable requirements of the HIPAA Rule, as well as any applicable
amendments.

recognizes that Covered Entity has certain reporting and disclosure
obligations to the Secretary and the Individual in case of a security breach of
unsecured PHI. Where Business Associate accesses, maintains, retains,
modifies, records, stores, destroys, or otherwise holds, uses or discloses
unsecured paper or electronic PHI, Business Associate immediately following
the discovery of a breach of such information, shall notify Covered Entity of
such breach. Initial notification of the breach does not need to be in
compliance with Sub Title D Title IV Section 13402 of the HITECH Act;
however, Business Associate must provide Covered Entity with all information
necessary for Covered Entity to comply with Sub Title D Title IV Section 13402
of the HITECH Act without reasonable delay, and in no case later than 30 days
following the discovery of the breach.
13. Breach Notification to Individuals. Business Associate’s duty to notify Covered
Entity of any breach does not permit Business Associate to notify those
individuals whose PHI has been breached by Business Associate without the
express written permission of Covered Entity to do so. Any and all notification
to those individuals whose PHI has been breached shall be made under the
direction, review and control of Covered Entity. The Business Associate will
notify the Privacy Officer via telephone with follow-up in writing to include;
name of individuals whose PHI was breached, information breached, date of
breach, form of breach, etc.
14. Information Breach Notification for Other Sensitive Personal Information. In
addition to the reporting under Section D.11, Business Associate shall notify
Covered Entity of any breach of computerized sensitive personal information
to assure Covered Entity’s compliance with the notification requirements of
Title 11, Subtitle B, Chapter 521, Subchapter A, Section 521.053, and Texas
Business & Commerce Code.
E. Permitted Uses and Disclosures by Business Associates. Except as otherwise limited in
this Agreement, Business Associate may use or disclose Protected Health Information to
perform functions, activities, or services for, or on behalf of, Covered Entity as specified
in this Business Associates Agreement, provided that such use or disclosure would not
violate the HIPAA Rules if done by Covered Entity or the minimum necessary policies and
procedures of the Covered Entity. Also, Business Associate may use PHI to report
violations of law to appropriate Federal and State authorities, consistent with the HIPAA
Rules. Business Associate acknowledges and agrees that Covered Entity owns all right,
title, and interest in and to all PHI, and that such right, title, and interest will be vested in
STRAC-BAA continued

Covered Entity. Neither Business Associate nor any of its employees, agents, consultants
or assigns will have any rights in any of the PHI, except as expressly set forth above.

Business Associate. Any additional security requirements contained in Sub Title
D of Title IV of the HITECH Act that apply to Covered Entity shall also apply to
Business Associate. Pursuant to the foregoing requirements in this section, the
Business Associate will implement administrative, physical, and technical
safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of the paper or electronic PHI that it creates, has access
to, or transmits. Business Associate will also ensure that any agent, including a
subcontractor, to whom it provides such information, agrees to implement
reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect such information.
2. Privacy Provisions. The enhanced HIPAA privacy requirements including but not
necessarily limited to accounting for certain PHI disclosures for treatment,
restrictions on the sale of PHI, restrictions on marketing and fundraising
communications, payment and health care operations contained Subtitle D of the
HITECH Act that apply to the Covered entity shall apply to the Business Associate
to the extent applicable to the Business Associate.

security or privacy provision specified in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above,
sections 1176 and 1177 of the Social Security Act (42 U,S.C, 1320d-5, 1320d-5)
shall apply to Business Associate with respect to such violation in the same
manner that such sections apply to Covered Entity if it violates such provisions.
G. Term and Termination.

inform Covered Entity in writing of the reason thereof, and shall agree to extend

Meeting:September 5, 2023
Department:Emergency Medical Services
Subject:Resolution 23-R-85 - Approving a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to
sign a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Sterling McCall Ford for the purchase of one
(1) new ambulance for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. (S. Williams/J. Mabbitt)
BACKGROUND
The EMS Department currently has a fleet of twelve (12) ambulances, eight (8) of these ambulances are
"front-line" or are in-service at any given time which leaves a reserve fleet of four (4) ambulances. A
goal is to have four (4) reserve ambulances to allow our fleet department time to "down" each
ambulance for preventative and safety checks. As of August 1, mileage for these ambulances range
from 452 to over 200,000 miles:
Unit #Year Mileage

275 2013 212,321

284 2021 57,506
285 2022 5,271
286 2023 Will receive in FY24
After coordination with the Fleet Department and inline with our vehicle replacement program, it was
decided to purchase this ambulance from Frazer through Sterling McCall Ford (for the chassis). Frazer
is a HGAC Buy Purchasing Cooperative program participant, and the ambulances are built here in
Texas. Like our previous six ambulances, this ambulance will be mounted on a Ford F450 chassis.
Due to COVID-19, ambulance manufacturers have lengthened their build times (mainly due to
chassis delays) and to have our ambulance built in FY25 we need to have a Letter of Intent (LOI) signed
to save a chassis for the build. Final purchase will be dependent on final approval of the FY25 budget.
GOAL
GOAL
Authorizing the City Manager to sign a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Sterling McCall Ford for the
intent to purchase one (1) new ambulance for FY25.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The items purchased from Frazer are in support of EMS response to the communities served.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approving the attached Letter of Intent (LOI) authorizing the City Manager to sign a
Letter of Intent (LOI) with Sterling McCall Ford for the purchase of one (1) new ambulance for FY25.
FISCAL IMPACT
This ambulance will be purchased in FY25 contingent on approval of the FY25 budget. The total
amount for this ambulance will not exceed $301,275. Staff will return for approval of the funds once
the budget is approved.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council
Meeting:September 5, 2023
Department:Finance
Subject:Resolution 23-R-87 - Amending the City's Investment Policy (S.
Gonzalez/J. Walters)
BACKGROUND
The Investment Policy of the City of Schertz outlines the processes the City uses to determine and set
its investment strategy. Much of the policy is outlined by Section 2256 of the Texas Government Code,
called the Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA), which ensures public entities make safe choices as to
how they invest.
The top priority regarding investable public funds in both the Act and in the City Policy is the safety of
the funds invested. This means low risk investments that can be easily withdrawn in the event the City
needs funding. The City of Schertz Investment Policy requires an annual reaffirmation by City Council.
On August 11, 2023, the Investment Advisory Committee reviewed and voted to send the policy to
council with proposed changes for consideration.
City Staff and the Investment Committee recommend City Council approve the Investment Policy with
the following changes to the document attached. Most of the changes are to clean up and clarify
sections of the document but do not significantly alter the requirements on the City. One change
includes removing the Deputy City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and the Economic Development
Director as named investment officers, leaving the City Manager and the Finance Director. The
Committee agreed the named investment officer needed to be one designated employee and a back-up.
The positions that were removed from this designation are still on the committee, will still review the
monthly reports, and still ensure the funds are invested according to policy. The other change is in
Section IV - Investment Reporting. Instead of quarterly, reports will now be provided monthly to City
Council.
There are no changes in the type of investments or in the strategy.
The red-line copy is attached for review and the clean version is attached to the Resolution.

I. INVESTMENT SCOPE
General Statement
This policy (this “Policy”) serves to satisfy the statutory requirement of the Public Funds
Investment Act, as amended, Texas Government Code Chapter 2256, as amended (the “Act”), to define
and adopt a formal written investment policy for the City of Schertz, Texas (the “City”). The City shall
be authorized to invest its funds pursuant to the provisions of the Act and this Policy or, upon obtaining
the prior approval of the City Council of the City (the “City Council”), any other applicable law.
Funds Included
This Policy applies to all City funds under the direct control of the City, at the present time any
funds to be received in the future and any other funds held in custody by the City, unless expressly
prohibited by law or unless it is in contravention of any depository contract between the City and any
depository bank.
The City funds that are entrusted to the City Council for investment pursuant to this Policy are
divided into the following portfolios based on the source of funds:
The operating account portfolio that consists of funds from the general fund and all other
miscellaneous funds.
The agency funds portfolio, which consists of all agency funds.
Special Revenue, Special Assessment, and all other City funds.
Funds Excluded
This Policy shall not be applicable to any funds on deposit in any bond account, reserve account,
or capital improvement construction account. The provisions of the ordinances authorizing the issuance
of these debt obligations and the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended control the
investment of funds on deposit in these accounts.
II. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
General Statement
Funds of the City will be invested in accordance with the Act, this Policy, written investment
strategy, and written administrative procedures to be developed by the City Manager, Finance Director,
and Investment Officers. The City's investment portfolio shall be managed in a manner to attain the
maximum rate of return allowed through prudent and legal investing of City funds while preserving and
protecting capital in the overall portfolio.
A-2
Safety
The primary objective of the City for all portfolios and funds is to ensure the safety of the
principal. All investment transactions shall first seek to avoid capital losses by choosing high credit
quality securities. The Investment Officers will monitor credit rating changes on a monthly basis and will
immediately liquidate any investment that fails to meet the credit quality required by the Public Funds
Investment Act.
Liquidity
The City's investment portfolio must be structured in a manner that will provide the liquidity
necessary to meet all operating requirements which might reasonably be anticipated, and to pay
obligations as they become due.
Diversification
The policy of the City, except when investing with the City’s depository bank or in U.S. Treasury
Bills, Bonds or Notes, will be to diversify its investment portfolio when investing in certificates of deposit
of other banks and savings and loans domiciled in Texas, repurchase agreements, U.S. agencies securities,
and other investment instruments provided for by law. The City's portfolio shall be diversified to
eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets in a specific maturity, a specific
issuer or a specific class of investments. Investments of the City shall always be selected to provide
stability of income and reasonable liquidity. Liquidity is defined as the ability to sell an investment at
reasonable cost under adverse market conditions.
In establishing specific diversification strategies, the following general polices and constraints
shall apply:
(1) Portfolio maturities shall be staggered in a way that avoids undue concentration of assets
in a specific maturity sector. Maturities shall be selected which provide for stability of
income and reasonable liquidity.
(2) Liquidity shall be maintained through practices that ensure that the next disbursement
date and payroll date are covered through current revenues, maturing investments, or
marketable securities.
(3) Risks of market price volatility shall be controlled through maturity diversification.
Yield
It is the objective of the City to earn the maximum rate of return allowed on its investments
within the constraints imposed by its safety and liquidity objectives, and the applicable law governing the
investment of public funds.
The City must invest its portfolios in eligible investments that yield the highest possible rate of
return while providing the necessary protection of the principal. The City seeks to optimize return on
investments in all portfolios. The average minimum rate of return for the entire portfolio, excluding funds
needed for current obligations, must be at least equal to a no default risk rate of return indicator, such as
the return on the three-month Treasury bill. If funds are subject to yield restrictions due to federal
arbitrage regulations, those funds are excluded from the yield calculation.
A-3
All security transactions will be made on documented competitive bid basis to assure the City is
receiving good market rates. When issued US agency securities should be compared to other securities
available in the secondary market to determine competitiveness.
Public Trust
It will be the objective of the City to act responsibly as custodians of the public trust.
Portfolio Management
Under this Policy all investments will be made with the intent of pursuing, at the time of
purchase, the best rate of return on securities held until maturity, and not with the intent of speculative
trading. However, securities may be sold before maturity if market conditions present an opportunity for
the City to benefit from this transaction.
Investment Strategy
The City maintains one commingled portfolio for investment purposes which incorporates the
specific use and the unique characteristics of the funds in the portfolio. The investment strategy has as its
primary objective assurance that anticipated liabilities are matched and adequate investment liquidity
provided. The City shall pursue conservative portfolio management strategy. This may be accomplished
by creating a laddered maturity structure with some extension for yield enhancement. The maximum
maturity of any security will be five years and the maximum dollar weighted average maturity of one year
or less will be calculated using the stated final maturity date of each security.
The investment strategy for debt service shall have as its primary objective th e timely payment of
debt service obligations. Successive debt service dates will be fully funded before any investment
extensions are made.
III. INVESTMENT RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL

I. INVESTMENT SCOPE
General Statement
This policy (this “Policy”) serves to satisfy the statutory requirement of the Public Funds
Investment Act, as amended, Texas Government Code Chapter 2256, as amended (the “Act”), to
define and adopt a formal written investment policy for the City of Schertz, Texas (the “City”).
The City shall be authorized to invest its funds pursuant to the provisions of the Act and this Policy
or, upon obtaining the prior approval of the City Council of the City (the “City Council”), any
other applicable law.
Funds Included
This Policy applies to all City funds under the direct control of the City, at the present time
any funds to be received in the future and any other funds held in custody by the City, unless
expressly prohibited by law or unless it is in contravention of any depository contract between the
City and any depository bank.
The City funds that are entrusted to the City Council for investment pursuant to this Policy
are divided into the following portfolios based on the source of funds:
The operating account portfolio that consists of funds from the general fund and all
other miscellaneous funds.
The agency funds portfolio, which consists of all agency funds.
Special Revenue, Special Assessment, and all other City funds.
Funds Excluded
This Policy shall not be applicable to any funds on deposit in any bond account, reserve
account, or capital improvement construction account. The provisions of the ordinances
authorizing the issuance of these debt obligations and the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended control the investment of funds on deposit in these accounts.
II. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
General Statement
Funds of the City will be invested in accordance with the Act, this Policy, written
investment strategy, and written administrative procedures to be developed by the City Manager,
Finance Director, and Investment Officers. The City's investment portfolio shall be managed in a
manner to attain the maximum rate of return allowed through prudent and legal investing of City
funds while preserving and protecting capital in the overall portfolio.
2
Safety
The primary objective of the City for all portfolios and funds is to ensure the safety of the
principal. All investment transactions shall first seek to avoid capital losses by choosing high
credit quality securities. The Investment Officers will monitor credit rating changes on a monthly
basis and will immediately liquidate any investment that fails to meet the credit quality required
by the Public Funds Investment Act.
Liquidity
The City's investment portfolio must be structured in a manner that will provide the
liquidity necessary to meet all operating requirements which might reasonably be anticipated, and
to pay obligations as they become due.
Diversification
The policy of the City, except when investing with the City’s depository bank or in U.S.
Treasury Bills, Bonds or Notes, will be to diversify its investment portfolio when investing in
certificates of deposit of other banks and savings and loans domiciled in Texas, repurchase
agreements, U.S. agencies securities, and other investment instruments provided for by law. The
City's portfolio shall be diversified to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over concentration
of assets in a specific maturity, a specific issuer or a specific class of investments. Investments of
the City shall always be selected to provide stability of income and reasonable liquidity. Liquidity
is defined as the ability to sell an investment at reasonable cost under adverse market conditions.
In establishing specific diversification strategies, the following general polices and
constraints shall apply:
(1) Portfolio maturities shall be staggered in a way that avoids undue concentration of
assets in a specific maturity sector. Maturities shall be selected which provide for
stability of income and reasonable liquidity.
(2) Liquidity shall be maintained through practices that ensure that the next
disbursement date and payroll date are covered through current revenues, maturing
investments, or marketable securities.
(3) Risks of market price volatility shall be controlled through maturity diversification.
Yield
It is the objective of the City to earn the maximum rate of return allowed on its investments
within the constraints imposed by its safety and liquidity objectives, and the applicable law
governing the investment of public funds.
The City must invest its portfolios in eligible investments that yield the highest possible
rate of return while providing the necessary protection of the principal. The City seeks to optimize
3
return on investments in all portfolios. The average minimum rate of return for the entire portfolio,
excluding funds needed for current obligations, must be at least equal to a no default risk rate of
return indicator, such as the return on the three-month Treasury bill. If funds are subject to yield
restrictions due to federal arbitrage regulations, those funds are excluded from the yield
calculation.
All security transactions will be made on documented competitive bid basis to assure the
City is receiving good market rates. When issued US agency securities should be compared to
other securities available in the secondary market to determine competitiveness.
Public Trust
It will be the objective of the City to act responsibly as custodians of the public trust.
Portfolio Management
Under this Policy all investments will be made with the intent of pursuing, at the time of
purchase, the best rate of return on securities held until maturity, and not with the intent of
speculative trading. However, securities may be sold before maturity if market conditions present
an opportunity for the City to benefit from this transaction.
Investment Strategy
The City maintains one commingled portfolio for investment purposes which incorporates
the specific use and the unique characteristics of the funds in the portfolio. The investment strategy
has as its primary objective assurance that anticipated liabilities are matched and adequate
investment liquidity provided. The City shall pursue conservative portfolio management strategy.
This may be accomplished by creating a laddered maturity structure with some extension for yield
enhancement. The maximum maturity of any security will be five years and the maximum dollar
weighted average maturity of one year or less will be calculated using the stated final maturity date
of each security.
The investment strategy for debt service shall have as its primary objective the timely
payment of debt service obligations. Successive debt service dates will be fully funded before any
investment extensions are made.

Department:Planning & Community Development
Subject:
Ordinance 23-S-15 - Approving amendments to Part III of the Schertz Code of
Ordinances, Unified Development Code (UDC) to Article 8, Section 21.8.4 Home
Occupation. Final Reading (B.James/L.Wood/S.Haas).
BACKGROUND
As stated in the Unified Development Code (UDC), City Council from time to time, on its own motion,
or at the recommendation of City staff amend, change, or modify text in any portion of the UDC to
establish and maintain stable and desirable development. It is generally considered good practice to
periodically review and update the development regulations due to changing conditions, community
goals, and/or State and Federal regulations.
Home Occupations occur frequently in the City of Schertz. Often, these businesses have little to no
adverse impact on the surrounding community, yet are not compliant with the current version and
regulations of the UDC. In an effort to better serve the citizens of Schertz, and to match the changing
nature of work (and by extension at-home work), staff has drafted amendments to Article 8, Section
21.8.4: Home Occupation of the UDC. The amendments were drafted with consideration to the
Development Subcommittee's discussions on the subject, and after extensive research was done on
other municipalities similar regulations concerning Home Occupations.
On May 24th, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission first met to hear these proposed UDC
amendments. The Commission decided to table the proposed UDC amendments to make modifications
and additions. On June 28th, 2023, the Planning & Zoning Commission made a recommendation of
approval with more minor language modifications. All requested modifications were included in the
proposed amendments.
City Council met on August 15, 2023 and voted to approve Ordinance 23-S-15 with a 7-0 vote.
Proposed Amendments:
Staff is proposing the following amendments in relation to UDC Article 8, Section 21.8.4: Home
Occupations

GOAL
To amend the UDC to review and update the development regulations due to changing conditions and
community goals in order to establish and maintain sound, stable and desirable development.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
It is the City's desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the
City's vision of future growth.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff conducted research on eight (8) other municipalities in the region and compared and contrasted
each municipalities' regulations concerning Home Occupations with the City of Schertz's current
regulations. The amendments that are proposed take into consideration areas in which Schertz is more
restrictive, not restrictive enough, or when further nuance/explanation is needed for sections of the code.
Also, these amendments were drafted with discussions from the Development Subcommittee in-mind.
The proposed amendments will add clarity on the land uses that are permitted and not permitted as a
home occupation which is beneficial for the residents of Schertz who desire doing a home business.
Additionally, the increased flexibility in percentage of home area, the use of an accessory structure, and
being able to have customers come to the home will be a benefit to residents who are interested in doing
a home occupation that previously would not have been permitted.
Following the May 24th, 2023, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting items were added to the
permitted use section, other items had language added-in to further clarify uses or restrictions.
Specifically, the Commission wanted counseling, pet grooming, and massage therapist added to the
permitted uses. Staff, researched terms and uses, and decided that for counseling the term "mental
health professional" to be used, and instead of massage therapist the term "health spa" was to be used.
These terms are specific to the intent of the Commission's adjustments while being
sufficiently broad enough to encompass related activities under the same occupational field. Also, the
garage sale subsection should have further clarity regarding the number of sales allowed.
Finally, language was incorporated to highlight the appeal process in the event an applicant does not
agree with staff's decision, or if an applicant feels that the proposed use is indeed permitted. Following
the June 28th, 2023, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, some minor language adjustments
were made.
The Planning and Zoning Commission met on June 28, 2023, and recommended approval with a couple
minor language modifications, to City Council with a 7-0 vote.
City Council met on August 15, 2023 and voted to approve Ordinance 23-S-15 with a 7-0 vote.
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 23-S-15, amendments to the Unified Development Code
(UDC) as proposed and discussed.

Subject:
Resolution 23-R-84 - Authorizing expenditures with LK Jordan & Associates
totaling no more than $65,000 for temporary staffing services during the
2022-2023 Fiscal Year. (S.Gonzalez/J.Kurz)
BACKGROUND
LK Jordan is a local temporary staffing agency that retains a diverse pool of staff including retired
military, office administration, skilled trades and hospitality services. As a result of a formal solicitation
process, the City has on-call contracts with LK Jordan & Associates and VIP Staffing for temporary
staffing services. The contracts have an annual not-to-exceed amount of $49,999.
Due to vacancies within multiple City departments, the City has spent approximately $40,000 with LK
Jordan through August 18, 2023. Currently, Engineering is employing a temporary full-time
administrative assistant; Planning & Community Development is employing a temporary full-time
permit technician; and the City Secretary’s office is employing a temporary part-time administrative
assistant/records coordinator.
With approximately four weeks remaining in FY 22/23, staff anticipates spending more than $50,000
with LK Jordan. Therefore, staff is requesting Council authorization to spend up to $65,000 with LK
Jordan in FY 22/23 to ensure appropriate staffing levels necessary to maintain standards of City
business operations.
Please note that staff expects a decrease in temp staff usage in FY 23/24, as two of the positions that are
currently being filled with temporary staffing will be converted to new FTE and PTE positions
(Engineering Admin. Assistant and City Secretary Part-Time Records Coordinator, respectively) with
final approval of the FY 23/24 budget.
GOAL
Ensure appropriate staffing levels necessary to maintain standards of City business operations, while
seeking to fill permanent position vacancies.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Temporary staffing allows the City to maintain standards of business operations so there is minimal
disruption in service to residents and customers.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approval of Resolution 23-R-84.
FISCAL IMPACT
Temporary staffing services are funded through salary savings in the department’s personnel line item.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council
Meeting:September 5, 2023
Department:Finance
Subject:Ordinance 23-M-17 - Amending the City of Schertz Code of Ordinances and
certain other Ordinances by amending and establishing fees for certain licenses,
permits, and other services provided by the City of Schertz. Final Reading
(S.Gonzalez/J.Walters)
BACKGROUND
City Departments collect a wide variety of fees for permits, services, fines and other charges that are all
part of everyday operations of municipal government. Since September 2008, the fees have been
incorporated into a single fee schedule. Ordinance 08-M-43 established the consolidated fee schedule
and allows for the modification of existing fees to be done by resolution while new fees are established
or added to the Fee Schedule by ordinance.
The Fee Schedule ordinance provides a single document with all City fees that directly affect the users.
The changes to the fees ensure the continued operation of public utilities, provides for essential services
to the community and to adequately maintain the investment in existing infrastructure. All changes to
the fee schedule will have a 45-day period before the new fees take effect. This allows staff to update
and advise citizens on the upcoming changes. The recommended effective date of these fee changes
will be October 1, 2023, except the engineering fees which will be September 1, due to a change in State
Law.
Parks & Recreation
Proposing to remove the Holidazzle business parade entry fee which is currently $15. The fee was set to
help offset staff time organizing the parade, however, currently there are very few entries and staff
recommends the entry be free. If the parade grows large enough, the fee could be reconsidered at that
time.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Proposing to increase their mileage fee $3 per mile due to inflationary factors on parts and service as
well as fuel.
It is also proposed to increase standby fees in the amount of $25 per hour for an Ambulance and $5 per
hour for a gator. These fees have not been increased since their addition in 2013-14 but pay has
continued to grow over that time.
EMT class fees are proposed to increase from $1,100.00 to $1,200.00. Schertz' classes are consistently
booked up and the fee hasn't been updated since 2017-18.
The per capital fee charged to serviced City's was updated via their individual contracts and will be
reflected in the fee schedule as such.
Fire Department
Has expanded their fee schedule to include common fees based on other communities and on the
Has expanded their fee schedule to include common fees based on other communities and on the
services currently provided. Different types of license inspections will be broken out based on type and
include various charges. This includes Daycare/Foster Care Centers at no charge, Adult Day Care
increase to $200, Licensed Nursing Care increase to $200, Licensed Hospital Inspection increase to
$250, Licensed Institutional Inspection increase to $250, and Licensed In-Home Facilities with no
change in fee at $50.
Fire suppression systems have been separated as well, based on type and set to different fees based on
the complexity of the system inspection and review. New fees break out remodeling of existing systems,
Kitchen Hood suppression Systems, Underground Fire line, Fixed Pipe Systems, Gaseous Suppression
Systems, Standpipe systems, Spray Paint Booths, and Other Fire systems not named.
Reinspecting fees will increase from $45 to $150. There is no fee for initial inspections, so the fee
would be charged when violations have not been corrected at re-inspections.
Plan review fees have been increased from $75 to $100 per hour and after hours review fees have been
increased from $75 to $200. Smoke control system plan fees have increased $75 to $400.
Fire Watch, where a crew and truck will stay and observe a potential fire hazard at the request of the
property owner, will be listed on the fee scheduled at $150 (with Pumper Apparatus) and $75 (without
Pumper Apparatus).
Inspections Division
Proposes to add Technology Fees to permits in support of Cityview costs and to match other
communities. This fee would be $25 for commercial construction (new or remodels/additions), $25 for
new residential only, and $10 for all other permits. Staff also proposes to remove costs for additional
licenses and registrations for General Contractors, Master Electricians, and Electrical Sign Contractors.
Doing this will match all other license/registration trades in Schertz.
Water and Sewer
Water and Sewer Fees were reviewed by Wildan, a rate consultant who is also contracted by the City's
primary water provider, Schertz Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC), and the primary
wastewater treatment provider, Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA). Wildan provided Schertz a
5-year recommended rate plan based on current annual operational costs, projected growth of new
accounts, debt service, and future infrastructure plans. Based on their model, the FY 2023-24 water
rates would increase 2% and the sewer would increase 3%. Based on the city sewer average (5,200
gallons) and 10,000 gallons of water, this would be a $2.39 monthly utility bill increase.
Engineering
House Bill 3492 prohibits value-based fees for permitting public infrastructure construction and goes
into effect on September 1, 2023. Prior to this, Public Improvement Permit fees have been calculated as
1% of the cost of construction of the improvements. It is proposed that, effective September 1, 2023,
fees for Public Infrastructure Permits will now be based on a dollar amount per unit of the major
categories of infrastructure. Because of the short time frame available during which the updated fee
structure needs to be in place, the resource required for the plan review and inspection services has been
intentionally underestimated in an effort to avoid overcharging. Staff will more closely evaluate costs
encountered by the City to perform these services and will propose updated rates when available.
**UPDATE FROM PREVIOUS READING**
1. The Inspection per linear foot on the Development Permit rework were incorrect. They have
been adjusted higher to reflect the original numbers as intended. Staff believes this fee rework
will lower the costs to developers compared to the previous fee calculation.
2. The City lists Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA)'s connection fees on our schedule to
provide a clear picture to customers what their final costs would be to build in Schertz. CCMA
sets these fees and staff includes their most recent amounts on the schedule. CCMA has updated
their connection fees and they are now properly shown in the Impact Fee section.
GOAL
To update the Adopted Fee Schedule for FY 2023-24.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Provide a single place for information on City fees.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends council approve the proposed changes to the fees schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fee changes will all affect the General Fund but have a low overall fiscal impact due to the
narrow scope of their estimated use but are intended as cost recovery of providing the described services.
The average bill increase for EMS transports would increase $24 with the mileage change and the
overall effect to covered cities would be $44,000 combined.
On average, residential utility customers would see a $2.39 per month, or about a 2.5% increase under
the recommended 5-year rate plan and fund the projected operational costs and help offset debt and
impact fee requirements on upcoming projects.

violates, disobeys, omits, neglects, or refuses to comply with or who resists the
enforcement of any of provisions of this Ordinance shall be fined not more than Five

BACKGROUND ON RATES
3
21st Century Water & Wastewater Rate Facts
▪Average utility has been increasing rates 5-6% per
year, a trend that is expected to continue and may
accelerate
▪American Water Works Association (AWWA) forecasts
that water and wastewater rates across the U.S. will
triple in the next 15 years
▪Rate adjustments are primarily due to reasons beyond
a utility’s direct control – inflation, necessary Capital
Improvement Plans, wholesale costs, and other
indirect expenses
▪30-40% of utilities charge rates that do not cover their
costs

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council
Meeting:September 5, 2023
Department:Engineering
Subject:Resolution 23-R-83 - Amendment of contract with AG|CM, Inc., for Owner's
Representative Services related to the Woman Hollering Creek Wastewater
Project. (B. James/K. Woodlee)
BACKGROUND
The Woman Hollering Creek Wastewater Trunk Main and Lift Station Project (WHC WW Project) is
part of the City's effort to establish and expand public wastewater collection and conveyance service to
the southern portion of Schertz. The project generally consists of 13,000 linear feet (lf) of 30-inch
diameter gravity main, 1,500 lf of 18-inch gravity main, 6,000 lf of 14-inch force main, and a
wastewater lift station with 16-foot diameter storage and wet wells. Once completed, the project will
provide the backbone to a future system that will serve approximately 4,461 acres and 6,450 dwelling
units in an area known as the WHC sewershed. The project will convey wastewater to the newly
constructed CCMA water reclamation plant on Trainer Hale Road.
It was initially expected that construction of the WHC WW Project would take 12 to 15 months to be
fully complete. Unexpected significant delays over the course of construction that began in early 2022
have occurred, and the project is currently expected to be fully complete late this year. In order to
continue to ensure that construction is managed appropriately and that it is done in compliance with City
and other applicable standards, and considering current workload, City staff must continue to
be augmented by the qualified professional contractual assistance that has been provided throughout the
project by AG|CM.
GOAL
The goal of the owner's representative contract is to provide the appropriate level of construction
management and quality assurance through installation of the Woman Hollering Creek Wastewater
trunk main, lift station, and forcemain (WHC Project). Management and inspection of the WHC Project
will demand significantly more time than current city staff has available. By providing for contracted
owner's rep services, the project can be managed more thoroughly and properly. AG|CM personnel will
continue to function on the WHC Project as an extension of staff resources during the construction
period.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The community benefits from having well run projects that result in quality infrastructure products and
to ensure that taxpayer funds are used responsibly. AG|CM will work for the city to accomplish those
goals.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 23-R-83.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding needed for the not to exceed amount of this agreement is $90,000. That amount is available
Funding needed for the not to exceed amount of this agreement is $90,000. That amount is available
under the total funding for construction and ancillary tasks associated with the WHC WW Project.
Total funding for the current construction effort comes from a combination of 2013 Bond Sales,
Wastewater Capital Recovery Funds, and planned Future Bond Sales, and totals $11,783,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 23-R-83.

First Reading (S. Gonzalez/J. Walters)
BACKGROUND
The City Budget for FY 2022-23 was approved by Ordinance 22-T-30. The budget can be modified by
council authorization when necessary throughout the year.
As previously directed, staff will try to limit the number of budget adjustments that come to council
throughout the year by bundling different budget requests together in one adjustment ordinance. This
adjustment will adjust budgets of multiple departments as needed, including to fund projects as
previously authorized by City Council.
The payment to the Sedona Tax Increment Refinancing Zone (TIRZ) was higher than expected by
$300,000. The adjustment will add that amount to the Non-departmental budget line.
Event Facilities will need an additional $58,000 for personnel overages and utility costs.
Fleet will need an additional $60,000 to cover the costs of outside fleet repair orders.
These items will be funded by a transfer from the City Manager personnel savings of $100,000 due to
the reorganization initiated by the City Manager earlier this year that transformed the position of
Assistant to the City Manager into the Internal Services Director and by $40,000 from the unused legal
expenditure budget.
For the remaining amount, staff proposes to recognize $240,000 in fire personnel deployment
reimbursements that were unbudgeted and an additional $38,000 in investment income generated by the
higher interest rates on the city's investments.
GOAL
To approve the budget adjustment to match operations and council authorized projects.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
To maintain a complete and balanced budget as identified as a goal in the City's Strategic Plan and that
meets State and Charter requirements.

Public Notice:
One hundred seventeen (117) public hearing notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners on
June 1, 2023. A public hearing notice was published in the "San Antonio Express" on June 28, 2023. At
the time of this report (August 25, 2023, at 3:00pm) staff has received one hundred sixty-six (166)
responses opposed, and thirty-two (32) response in favor, and three (3) responses neutral to the
proposed rezoning request. As a note on the public hearing responses, there are fourteen (14) properties
that had submitted either an opposition letter or an in favor letter, that subsequently submitted a
that had submitted either an opposition letter or an in favor letter, that subsequently submitted a
differing response.
If a proposed zoning change is protested in writing and signed by the owners of at least twenty percent
(20%) of the area of the lots or land immediately adjoining the area covered by the proposed zoning
change or zoning map amendment and extending 200 feet from that area, the proposed change must

City Council according to LGC, Local Government Code § 211.006(d). At the time of this staff report
(August 25, 2023, at 3:00pm) the total percentage of the protested parcel acreage is 28.50%,
therefore, the 3/4 vote has been triggered for the September 5, 2023, City Council.
Proposed Zoning Concept:
The proposed development will be a gated community with no more than 140 units. These units will be
spread across seventy (70) duplexes. Each unit is proposed to be between 1,300 square feet and 1,400
square feet and will feature three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an eat-in kitchen, two living rooms, a laundry
room, covered back patio, private yard, and a two-car garage.

All lots within the proposed The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge will have 10 foot side yard setbacks, all
corner lots within the development will maintain a 15 foot side setback.
Parks and Amenities:
The proposed PDD plans to incorporate 8.52 acres of green space and amenities. This would include a
pavilion, playground for the community, a concrete walking path. Additionally, a mail center is
proposed with a covered pavilion, and additional parking access. There is also a proposed 0.29 acre
space for youth sport facilities such as pickleball courts, a 2.73 acre private picnic / trail / community
garden area, a 4.01 acre public walking trail contingent upon approval with LCRA to develop within the
easement, and 0.74 acres of miscellaneous spaces and detention ponds.
Parking:
Per the City of Schertz Unified Development Code, duplexes have a required parking ratio of two (2)
spaces per unit. The proposed The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge has 140 units which would require 280
off-street parking spaces. However, per the proposed The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge PDD Design
Standards there are 659 proposed parking spaces across the development, including a total of 4 spaces
per unit (2 within the driveway and an additional two in the garage), an additional 23 parking spaces
split between the interior parks and mail station and an additional 76 spaces available on the street to use
as overflow and guest parking.
HOA and Maintenance Proposed:
HOA and Maintenance Proposed:
The proposed The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge will be a gated community with an HOA established. The
entire development both inside and outside the gates to include irrigation will be maintained by the
HOA's maintenance crew. This includes maintenance of all common areas to include all proposed
crushed granite walking trails, concrete pathways, neighborhood amenities and multi-use paths, all the
front yards, side yards, and backyards of the duplexes. A 6-foot wood privacy fence will be installed
along the boundary with The Fairways at Scenic Hills neighborhood.
GOAL
The project goal is to rezone approximately 25 acres of land, generally located approximately 2,200 feet
southeast of the intersection of Country Club Boulevard and IH-35 access road, also known as a portion
of Comal County Property Identification Number 377261 and Guadalupe County Property Identification
63833 from Pre-Development District (PRE) to Planned Development District (PDD) in order to
develop a gated community with no more than 140 units spread across seventy (70) duplexes.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
It is the City’s desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the
City’s vision of future growth.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
In 2022, the applicant submitted a zone change request to a Planned Development District (PDD) with a
base zoning of Apartment/ Multi-Family Residential (R4). That proposal included approximately 220
units to be developed as fourplexes. On September 27, 2022, the City Council was unable to obtain the
super majority needed for the approval of that zone change application, which ultimately lead to the
application being denied. During the discussion at the September 27, 2022, City Council meeting there
were concerns with the proposed density.
Based on the previous City Council feedback the developer made changes and proposed a different
PDD to address the concerns presented at the September 27th meeting. At the January 25, 2023,
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and the February 28, 2023, City Council meeting the
proposed PDD design concept was presented with a base zoning of Townhome District. That proposal
was for a maximum of fifty-one (51) buildings consisting of no more than 198 units. Ultimately, at the
April 25, 2023, City Council meeting the project was unable to obtain the required super majority for
approval at the final reading and the item failed and the zone change request was denied.
The Schertz Sector Plan for Northern Schertz designates the subject property as Single-Family
Residential. The Single-Family Residential land use designation encourages the mixture of various
residential type development as well as maintaining a walkable neighborhood feel. The proposed
rezoning to Planned Development District (PDD), with a base zoning of Two-Family Residential (R-3)
does conform to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation as it would provide a needed mixture of
housing type to Schertz. The current proposed The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge PDD provides a
reduction in density from the previous two proposal. By proposing no more than 140 units spread across
70 duplexes, it is both a reduction in overall unit density but also a different product type than what was
previously proposed. This reduction in density was identified as being desirable by City Council.
Additionally, the proposal of duplexes does conform with the Schertz Sector Plan by providing for a
type of residential housing that currently does not exist in the area. Additionally, the current proposal
accommodates an area for the dedication and construction of the walking trail within the overhead
electrical easement, contingent upon LCRA approval, which was desired by staff and City Council has
expressed the importance of trails to be constructed with developments at the January 10, 2023 City
Council meeting. This proposed trail is identified on the Schertz Transportation Plan-Trails Network
and would ultimately be part of the "Great Northern Trail".
Proposed PDD Design Standards Update from the July 18th and August 1st City Council
Meetings :
At the August 1, 2023 City Council meeting, the applicant requested that the item be tabled to the
September 5th City Council meeting so they could make revisions to the proposed project. On August
22, the Planning Division received an update Planned Development Design Standards document with
revised attachments. The modifications include reducing the overall unit density by 30 units for an
overall proposed density of 140 units, reducing the overall duplex count by 15 units, for an overall
duplex count of 70 units, requiring all lots to have a minimum side yard setback of 10 feet eliminating
the need for the fire wall requirements that were previously proposed. Additionally, the applicant is
proposing increased green space and amenities, and a reduction in overall parking based on the decrease
in unit counts.
The proposed changes by the applicant are based on previous feedback from the City Council and the
residents.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommendation:
The Planning Division, Engineering Department, Public Works Department and Fire Department have
all reviewed the proposed The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge Planned Development District design
standards with no objections to the proposed. Staff recommends approval of the proposed zone change
to Planned Development District (PDD) as presented with the modifications made by the applicant as
presented within this agenda item.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission met on June 14, 2023 and voted to recommend that City
Council approve the proposed zone change with corrections to the PDD Design Standards in relation to
the Impervious Coverage and the UDC acreage requirement for gated communities by a 5-1 vote with
Commissioner Hector with the nay vote.

The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge
140 Unit Development on 24.1784 Acres
Planned Development District. Understanding there may be circumstances in which a
development might not be able to adhere to the strict regulations and design standards
set forth in the Schertz Unified Development Code (UDC), the UDC established Article 5,
and Section 21.5.10, a Planned Development District (PDD), as an alternative approach
to conventional land development.
The City of Schertz Unified Development Code as amended will govern development of
the property, except for the following statements.
PDD Purpose and Intent. The purpose of PDD regulations is to encourage and promote
more creative, innovative, and imaginative land development than would be possible
under the regulations found in a typical zoning district. The intent is to allow substantial
flexibility in planning, design, and development standards in exchange for greater land
values and amenities. Enhanced parkland and open space, preservation of natural
resources, pedestrian friendly environment, and deviation from the typical traffic
patterns are all a result of this allowed flexibility. It is this intrinsic flexibility, in the form
of relief from the normal zoning ordinances, design standards, land use densities, and
subdivision regulations, that allows for the definition of uses, densities and standards
that will permit the alternative planning associated with a PDD and this development
known as The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge.
The Property. The location of the subject property is directly west of the Scenic Hills
Neighborhood and directly east of The Fairways at Scenic Hills as described on Exhibit A.
The current condition of the property creates a unique opportunity for development.
The approximately 24.1784-acre site was previously known as part of the Northcliffe
Golf Club.
The property is bound by Country Club Boulevard to the south, Columbia Drive to the
North, and existing single-family neighborhoods to the east and west.
3
Analysis of the property via phase 1 ESA reports, geotechnical reports, and bore samples
do not reveal any physical constraints, potential health, or safety hazards. Further
evaluation of the tract by the Developer’s engineers has confirmed utilities are available
and the property’s demands can be served.
The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge (Exhibit A) is proposed. Such amenities will include both
passive and active areas, as well as concrete pathways and crushed granite walking trails.
Multi-purposed walkways and sidewalks will provide links between park areas, open
spaces, resident units, and amenities. Amenities provided and shown on Exhibit B will
include playscapes, pickleball courts, picnic tables, and a neighborhood pavilion. All of
which promote a safe and pedestrian friendly environment and overall livable
community. Also, Exhibit B will depict the entry gate and landscaping features.
Our current concept plan consists of a gated community with no more than 140 units.
These units will be spread across 70 duplexes. Each unit will be between 1,300 sf and
1,400 sf. Every unit will feature 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an eat in kitchen, two living
rooms, a laundry room, a covered back patio, a private yard, and a two-car garage. This
proposed community will be managed and maintained by The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge
“HOA”. The community is designed to enhance the overall neighborhood standards by
incorporating 8.52 acres of green space and amenities. This includes multiple private
parks, public walking trail contingent upon approval with LCRA to develop within the
easement. All of which are outlined in the overall site plan Exhibit A.
Parks & Amenities. The development’s interior private park and amenities as shown on
0.52 acres, are designed to house a pavilion for birthday parties & special events, a
playground for the community, and a concrete walking path. The mail center is designed
with a covered pavilion, and additional parking access will be provided on 0.23 acres. In
addition to the previously mentioned improvements, the development will also feature
a 0.29-acre space for youth sport facilities such as pickleball courts, a 2.73-acre private
Picnic/Trail/Community Garden area, and a 4.01 Acre public walking trail contingent
upon approval with LCRA to develop within the easement and 0.74 acres between misc.
spaces and detention ponds. All the above is shown on Exhibit A and Exhibit B
4
Two-Family Residential District. The intent of the development is to conform with the
Two-Family Residential District (R-3) zoning district but to modify the lot depth and lot
area as follows. Each lot is comprised of at least 6,525 sf with a minimum depth of 87-
feet. Each lot will have a width of at least 75 feet. There will be 70 lots in total. Each area,
as shown and identified on Exhibit A.
Each lot will have a 10-foot side setback on one side (the 6 corner lots within the
development will maintain 15-foot side setback). Each lot will have a 25-foot front
setback, and a 20-foot rear setback per the table below. Where residential lots have
double frontage, running from one street to another, no access from the rear of the
property will be permitted to the street. Only one access point will be permitted from a
residential lot, so long as the access is from the front of the lot. All lots with double
frontage within that block will have the same restriction and orientation as the lot on
either side.

Homeowners Association & Maintenance. City of Schertz UDC Article 8 Section
21.8.1.B.1 stipulates that a Gated Community shall be a minimum of seventy-five (75)
acres. The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge is modifying this UDC requirement to allow the
5
development of a gated community a minimum of 24 acres. This development will be
gated, and a Homeowners Association (HOA) will be established. The entire
development both inside and outside of the gates to include irrigation will be maintained
by the HOA’s maintenance crew. This is to include the maintenance of common areas,
all front yards, side yards, and back yards. The HOA’s maintenance crew will have access
to all back yards via side gates. The HOA will have master keyed locks to allow for access
to maintain each unit’s backyard. A 6-foot wood fence will be installed along the
boundary with The Fairways at Scenic Hills neighborhood. Crushed granite walking trails,
concrete pathways, neighborhood amenities, and multi-use paths within the
development’s common areas will all be maintained by “The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge
HOA” as well.
Architectural Review Committee. The Developer will establish an Architectural Review
Committee (ARC) which will be responsible for reviewing and approving construction
plans for all residential construction within The Villas at Bluebonnet Ridge. The ARC will
consist of members appointed by the Developer until all the property within the Villas
at Bluebonnet Ridge has been transferred to an independent third-party purchaser or to
the HOA.
Construction of residential and community amenities within the Villas at Bluebonnet
Ridge shall first be submitted to the ARC for approval and to verify compliance with the
terms, conditions, and obligations of the PDD and deed restrictions. The ARC shall review
such contemplated construction and shall, if approved, provide verification in a f orm
acceptable to the City by which the ARC verifies that the plan for the contemplated
construction complies with the PDD and associated guidelines .
Site Design Standards. With the exemption of lot sizes, lot area and gated community
minimum acreage, this proposed development conforms to the UDC for orderly and
unified development of streets, utilities, neighborhood design, public land and facilities.
Streets, gates, and lighting will be maintained by the HOA. All public utilities will be
maintained by the city with easements to be recorded for access and maintenance as
detailed in the utility plan provided to the city.
6
Parking. According to UDC Section 21.10.4, each 3-bedroom unit within this
development is required to have 2 off street parking spaces. As noted, and shown in
Exhibit C, each 3 -bedroom unit has two driveway parking spaces in addition to two
garage parking space for a total of 4 spaces per unit. In addition to the 560 off street
parking spaces allocated across the development, there are an additional 23 parking
spaces split between the interior parks and mail station and an additional 76 spaces
available on street to use as overflow and guest parking. Total parking spaces available
are 659.
Amendments to the Planned Development District (PDD). Any significant future
changes from the established Dimensional Requirements for the approved PDD, which
alter the concept of the PDD or increase the density, will cause the plan to be re -
submitted for approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council,
including a new public hearing with applicable fees. Minor changes which do not change
the concept or intent of the development shall be approved or denied administratively.

Parking:
Each 3 -bedroom unit has two driveway parking spaces in addition to
two garage parking spaces for a total of 4 spaces per unit. There are a
proposed 140 units with 4 spaces per unit for a total of 560 off -street

2 parking spaces per unit. The UDC does not require additional guest
parking for duplexes. Under the current UDC The Villas at Bluebonnet
Ridge would require 280 parking spaces.
HISTORY OF PREVIOUS PDD PROPOSALS
In 2022 the applicant submitted a zone change request for a PDD with a
base zoning of Multi -family / Apartments (R -4). The original proposal was for
220 units that would be developed as fourplexes. This application was
denied by City Council on September 27, 2022 when they were unable to
obtain the super majority needed for approval.
At the January 15, 2023 P&Z meeting and the February 28, 2023 City Council
meeting a new proposal was presented for a PDD with a base zoning of
Townhome District (TH). This proposal was for a maximum of 51 buildings
with no more than 198 Units. Ultimately, this PDD request was denied at
the April 25, 2023 City Council meeting when the project was unable to
obtain the required super majority for approval.
CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS PDD PROPOSALS
First Proposal: PDD with a base zoning of Multi -family / Apartments (R -4) /
220 units that would be developed as fourplexes.
Second Proposal: PDD with a base zoning of Townhome District (TH) /
maximum of 51 buildings with no more than 198 Units.
Current Proposal: PDD with a base zoning of Two -Family Residential (R -3) /
maximum of 170 units spread across 85 duplexes
-Decreased maximum number of units from the first two proposals
-Change in product type
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Schertz Sector Plan identifies the subject property as Single -Family
Residential which encourages a mixture of residential housing types. The
proposed PDD with the base zoning of Two -Family Residential (R -3); which
allows for duplexes, would provide for a housing type that is not currently in
the area.
Additionally, the change to duplexes is in line with the discussion that occurred
at the previous City Council meetings. The current proposal reduces the overall
density from the previously proposed zone change.
The current proposal accommodates an area for the dedication and
construction of the walking trail within the overhead electrical easement,
contingent on LCRA approval, which was desired by staff and City Council

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council
Meeting:September 5, 2023
Department:Planning & Community Development
Subject:
Ordinance 23-S-16 – Conduct a public hearing and consideration and/or action on
a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a convenience store with gas pumps
on approximately 5.5 acres of land, more specifically described 1008 and 1020 FM
78, Schertz, TX 78154, also known as Guadalupe County Property Identification
Number: 67650 and 67552, City of Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas. First
Reading (B. James, L. Wood, E. Delgado)
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a convenience store with gas pumps on
approximately 5.5 acres of land located at 1008 and 1020 FM 78, Schertz, TX 78154, also known as
Guadalupe County Property Identification Number: 67650 and 67552, City of Schertz, Guadalupe
County, Texas. More specifically, per the letter of intent submitted with the application, the proposed
project would include a 6,500 square foot convenience store with gas pumps, a 2,500 square foot Burger
King fast food restaurant with drive-thru, a 2,040 square foot restaurant with drive-thru and an
automated car wash. The subject property was previously developed as a convenience store with gas
pumps which was demolished in 2022 and is currently zoned General Business District (GB).
Thirteen (13) public hearing notices were mailed to surrounding property owners wit hin two hundred
(200) feet of the subject property on July 7, 2023. A public hearing notice was published in the San
Antonio Express on August 9, 2023. At the time of this report, staff has received three (3) responses in
favor, two (2) response opposed, and one (1) response neutral to the proposed request. The Planning
and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on this item at the July 26, 2023, meeting.
GOAL
The proposed Specific Use Permit is to allow a convenience store with gas pumps on approximately 5.5
acres of land located at 1008 and 1020 FM 78.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
It is the City’s desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the
City’s vision of future growth.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a 6,500 square foot convenience store with gas pumps, a 2,500
square foot Burger King fast food restaurant with drive-thru, a 2,040 square foot restaurant with
drive-thru and an automated car wash on an approximately 5.5 acre tract of land. Per the conceptual
plan, the applicant is proposing two driveway locations onto FM 78, which will be reviewed by the
Texas Department of Transportation.
The subject property is directly adjacent to FM 78, which is classified as a Principal Arterial and is
currently zoned General Business District (GB). The site was previously a convenience store with gas
pumps that has been demolished. The surrounding properties are also zoned General Business District
(GB) with a commercial establishment (the VFW) on the west and properties used for residential
purposes on the east.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies two land use designations for this property. Adjacent to
FM 78, approximately 160 feet into the subject property is designated as Commercial Campus. The rest
of the property is identified as Parks, Open Space. Commercial Campus is intended to encourage
development of lower intensity commercial and office uses such as research, flex-office, and supporting
uses, light industrial and assembly uses. Parks, Open Space is intended to be utilized for open space and
for sensitive areas such as floodplain areas. The subject property is within the floodplain as identified
by FEMA. The identified floodplain is consistent with the areas identified on the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan designation of Parks, Open Space. The submitted conceptual plan identifies that the
proposed convenience store with gas pumps would be located outside the floodplain area.
The proposed business would take advantage of the FM 78 frontage as it is a transportation oriented
business and is dependent on the traffic generated on roadways such as FM 78 as a principal arterial.
Additionally, the proposed convenience store with gas pumps and food establishments are consistent
with other businesses on FM 78. The proposed Specific Use Permit for a convenience store with gas
pumps is generally in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and is compatible with
adjacent businesses located along FM 78.
The subject property had previously had a convenience store with gas pumps and a car wash that had
been abandoned. From aerial imagery it appears the site was used as a convenience store since at least
1995. In fall of 2022, the structures were demolished with the ultimate goal being to obtain a Specific
Use Permit in order to construct a new convenience store with gas pumps in addition to two food
establishments within the building.
RECOMMENDATION
A Specific Use Permit allows for discretionary City Council approval of uses with unique or widely
varying operating characteristics or unusual site development features, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this UDC.Approval of a specific use permit authorizes a property owner to submit
subsequent development applications consistent with the approved Specific Use Permit.
The Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 26, 2023 and offered a
recommendation of approval with modifications to the proposed conceptual plan by a 7-0 vote. The
modifications requested by the Planning and Zoning Commission include relocating the dumpster to
be farther away from the residential property and ensuring the eight-foot tall masonry wall and twenty
foot wide landscape buffer are completed adjacent to the residential property, 1028 FM 78. These
modifications have been reflected on the updated conceptual plan provided by the applicant. One page
of the conceptual site plan has been attached to Ordinance 23-S-16 to illustrate the requirement
imposed by the Planning and Zoning Commission as to the dumpster location and the screening wall,
but the other aspects of site develoment are not a condition of the SUP.
Due to the limited adverse impact on adjacent development and the compatibility between the proposed
land use and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, along with the land previously being used for a
convenience store with gas pumps, Staff recommends approval of the Specific Use Permit to allow a
convenience store with gas pumps at the subject property conditioned upon the following:
1. A building permit is approved within two (2) years of the adoption of the SUP Ordinance in
accordance with Unified Development Code Article 5, Section 21.5.11.F Expiration of Specific
Use Permit.

Attention: Emily Delgado
As the owner and resident of the over stated property, I vehemently oppose the
building of a convenience store with gas pumps. I ask that Schertz Planning and Zoning
Commission deny the request for gas station development. These are the reasons why
this is not the best location for such development.
For the 32 years I have live on this property, I have enjoyed fresh clean water from the
well that provides water to my home and property. The pollution that occurs when gas
tanks leak toxic chemicals into the ground soil caused by a gas station storage tanks
and surface runoff in such close proximity to my water well is a health and safety issue
for me and my family. Modern health and safety guidelines suggest that a safe distance
from a gas station should be at least 500 feet. This distance takes into account the
possibility of spills, leaks, and other accidents that can occur at a gas station. There
have been other municipalities that have adopted ordinances that require gas stations
be built 500 feet from residential homes.
Having this type of business next to my property will greatly decrease the value of my
home. There is a risk of fire/explosions from gas pumps. Safety concerns intensify from
traffic and vagrants that come with this type of business. A gas station constructed
adjacent to my home will increase the amount of noise, air, and light pollution. Vehicles
and pedestrians causing an increase of litter, chemicals and exhaust fumes in and
around my home. There will be convenience/gas station lights shining onto my home
and property. It also generates and attracts substances, and odors that will greatly
affect myself, my children, grandchildren and my pets.
There is already 3 gas stations on FM 78 that are within 1 mile of the proposed gas
station site. The increased traffic will also impact my ability to enter and exit my
driveway.
Allowing a business like this to develop next door to my home and property will
considerably impact/impede me and my families ability to enjoy my home and outdoor
living as we have done for the last 32 years.
Please Consider,
Beverly Owens

ORDINANCE NO: 23-S-16
Specific Use Permit to allow for a convenience store
with gas pumps for 5.5 acres (1008 and 1020 FM 78)
EMILY DELGADO | PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT PROPERTY
July 7, 2023: 13 Public
Hearing Mailers sent
August 9, 2023: public
hearing notice
published in San
Antonio Express
As of August 23, 2023
staff has received the
following responses:
3 - In Favor
2 - Opposed
(from same property owner)
1 - Neutral
•Subject
Property
zoned General
Business (GB)
•Adjacent
Properties also
zoned GB
•Applicant is requesting a Specific Use
Permit (SUP) to allow a convenience store
with gas pumps on the approximately 5.5
acre property.
Proposed SUP
•Per the submitted Letter of Intent, if the
SUP is approved the development would
consist of:
•A 6,500 square foot convenience store with
gas pumps
•A 2,500 square foot Burger King fast food
restaurant with drive -thru
•A 2,040 square foot restaurant with drive -
thru
•An automated car wash
Proposed SUP
•The Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies the property
as Commercial Campus and Parks, Open Space.
•Commercial Campus: lower intensity commercial and office
uses such as research, flex -office, and supporting uses, light
industrial and assembly uses.
•Parks, Open Space: open space and for sensitive areas such
as floodplain areas
•The proposed business would take advantage of the FM 78
frontage as it is a transportation -oriented business and is
dependent on the traffic generated on roadways such as
FM 78 as a principal arterial. Additionally, the proposed
convenience store with gas pumps and food
establishments is consistent with other businesses on FM
78.
Staff Analysis
•The subject property had previously had a convenience
store with gas pumps and a car wash that had been
abandoned.
•From aerial imagery it appears the site was used as a
convenience store since at least 1995.
•In fall of 2022, the structures were demolished with the
ultimate goal being to obtain a Specific Use Permit in
order to construct a new convenience store with gas
pumps in addition to two food establishments within the
building.
Staff Analysis
•If the Specific Use Permit is approved, the applicant will go
through the site plan process in conformance with Unified
Development Code (UDC) Article 9, Section 21.9.12 and will have
to meet all City of Schertz UDC requirements as listed in Article
9.
•At the time of the site plan, a Traffic Impact Analysis Study will
be reviewed by both the City of Schertz Engineering Department
and TxDoT as this property is located on FM 78.
•In addition, the proposed parking areas will have to meet all
current regulations within UDC Article 10 including the required
parking ratios and dimensions.
•Additionally, the site will be required to comply with all
landscaping, screening and buffering requirements as identified
in the UDC.
Staff Analysis
P&Z Recommendation
The Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public
hearing on July 26, 2023 and offered a recommendation of
approval with modifications to the proposed conceptual plan
by a 7 -0 vote.
The modifications requested by the Planning and Zoning
Commission include relocating the dumpster to be farther
away from the residential property and ensuring the eight -
foot tall masonry wall and twenty foot wide landscape
buffer are completed adjacent to the residential property,
1028 FM 78.
These modifications have been reflected on the updated
conceptual plan provided by the applicant.
Staff Recommendation
Due to the limited adverse impact on adjacent development
and the compatibility between the proposed land use and the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, along with the land previously
being used for a convenience store with gas pumps, Staff
recommends approval of the Specific Use Permit to allow a
convenience store with gas pumps at the subject property
conditioned upon the following:
1. A building permit is approved within two (2) years of the
adoption of the SUP Ordinance in accordance with Unified
Development Code Article 5, Section 21.5.11.F Expiration of
Specific Use Permit.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council
Meeting:September 5, 2023
Department:Finance
Subject:Ordinance 23-T-18 - Conduct a Public Hearing and Adopt a budget for the fiscal
year beginning October 1, 2023, and ending September 30, 2024, in accordance
with the Charter of the City of Schertz, Texas; providing for the filing of the
Budget; providing that this Ordinance shall be cumulative of all Ordinances;
providing a Severability Clause; and providing an Effective Date. Final Reading
(S.Gonzalez/J.Walters)
BACKGROUND
In accordance with applicable statutes and the City Charter, the City Manager submitted a budget
proposal to the City Council for consideration on August 11, 2023. The City Council held a public
hearing for the Proposed Budget on August 15, 2023 and will hold a second public hearing
on September 5, 2023.
The Budget Priorities for FY 2023-24 are as follows:
Goal 1: Staff Compensation - turnover is high and hiring is difficult due to non-competitive wages. Staff
hopes to correct this by making compensation a budget priority.
Goal 2: Infrastructure (with a primary focus on streets) - the City's roadways, parks, facilities, and
drainage channels need additional maintenance and reconstruction. Staff is also looking at adding and
expanding streets, parks, drainage channels, water transportation pipes and storage, and wastewater
transportation pipes to meet the growing needs of the community as outlined in the master thoroughfare
plan, the master parks plan, and the master water and sewer plan.
Goal 3: Consolidated CIP Document - this document will lay out a consolidated plan for the City's large
infrastructure projects and outline funding sources allowing the City Manager and City Council to see
the impact of infrastructure projects within a 5 to 10 year window and plan accordingly.
Goal 4: Increase staffing levels - adding key staff in services areas that will have the largest impact on
operations and the community.
Goal 5: New/Remodeled Facilities - with additional staff coming on board, the City will need to look at
office spaces and new service locations as the community continues to expand.
Staff proposes to raise salaries for all departments by 4.7% across the board for inflation. This number
is based on the last 2 quarterly reports by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the Employment Cost Index
(ECI). This metric measures wages and benefits costs across the country based on private corporation
jobs, civilian jobs, and state and local government jobs. The past 2 quarterly reports showed wages for
state and local governments grow by 4.7% and is the basis for the adjustment recommendation. This
ECI adjustment is proposed to take effect in October 2023 with the new budget.
Based on staff's review of target cities' wages in the area, there was strong indication Schertz was below
market in the wages offered to employees. Working with City Council, the City has contracted with
Public Sector Personnel Consultants (PSPC) to conduct a Classification & Compensation Study to
determine wages and compensation compared to the market and how to adjust wages to get Schertz'
positions to market. Based on the original review by Staff, an estimated $2.6 million of adjustments
could be required, with $1.9 million showing in FY 2023-24 with the anticipated January 2024 wage
could be required, with $1.9 million showing in FY 2023-24 with the anticipated January 2024 wage
adjustment. The final number will be based on the results of the survey.
The City also saw an increase in health insurance costs of 7.5% for FY 2023-24.
To continue the infrastructure improvements, staff recommends withdrawing $1 million from General
Fund Reserves to be spent on the street preservation and maintenance program. This is in addition to the
$650,000 that is part of the base Streets Budget, and $4.5 million in funding from the Schertz Economic
Development Corporation Reserves for roadway improvements. Staff also plans to issue $37.25 million
in debt in the General Fund for other infrastructure projects, like Main Street Improvements and $7.5
million in Water & Sewer to continue the transmission line from East Live Oak to IH 35.
In the General Fund, Staff proposes to add 5 new positions based on the recommendations of Staff and
Council. The positions include:
- 3 Firefighters in preparation of Station 4
- 1 Engineering Administrative Assistant
- 1 Part Time Records Clerk to assist with the increased open records requests in the City Secretary's
office
In addition, 5 additional police officers have been added to the approved position table, but not funded,
to allow the City to more quickly hire School Resource Officers.
The Water & Sewer Fund proposes to add a new Lead Clerk position for Utility Billing.
The Emergency Medical Services Fund proposes to add 4 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) to
field additional ambulance hours to meet service call volumes.
Other items in the General Fund that are being proposed are the following programs, projects, and
equipment:
-Replace all in-car cameras, body worn cameras, and TASERs for police officers
-Add additional Library materials budget
-Add an ArcGIS IndoorMaps Extension for building mapping capabilities
-Add new servers for Public Safety
-Reassign court security funding from operations to fund larger projects
-Add new Hydrolic Hose Crimper and Hose Reels for Fleet
-Add new Tablets and Trailer for Facilitiy Services
-Add new Opticom system to control intersection lights for Public Safety
-Add new Hurst Strong Arm Multi-purpose Tool to add in rescue operations in Fire
-Add new Pothole Truck and Asphalt Laydown Machine in Streets
The Water & Sewer Fund will add:
-Automated Phone Payment System
-Combination Vaccume Truck
-Funding for Fire Hydrant and Valve replacements across the city
Drainage will replace a zero turn mower.
The Special Revenue Funds Budgets will remain constant with no significant changes in operations.
A copy of the proposed budget is available for view on the City’s webpage www.schertz.com. This
copy will include all changes included in the change memo.
Update since last reading:
Staff has been notified that the City of Cibolo has been awarded a grant from the OAG that will allow
them to fund a full-time Crime Victim Liaison position. Currently, the City of Schertz and the City of
Cibolo have a Crime Vicitms' Liaison interlocal agreement where the City of Schertz employees a
full-time position for these services and the City of Cibolo reimburses Schertz for their half. This
position services both the Schertz and Cibolo communities. With this notification from Cibolo that they
will have their own position, staff proposes to continue to keep the position as full-time. It has always
been budgeted as such; the only difference is that the revenues will be less than expected (as Cibolo
won't be contributing half).
GOAL
Per state statutes and the City Charter, the city must adopt a budget prior to the beginning of the fiscal
year beginning on October 1st.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
This budget will provide for additional resources to areas identified by citizens, city council, and staff.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the final reading of Ordinance No. 23-T-18, adopting
the budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023, and ending September 30, 2024.

August 11, 2023
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Steve Williams, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24
The proposed budget for fiscal year 2023-24 was filed with the City Secretary on August 11, 2023
in accordance with the requirements of the City Charter. The proposed revenues in each of the
funds meets or exceeds our proposed expenditures when utilizing excess reserves. There will
be two public hearings for citizen input on August 15, 2023 and September 5, 2023.
The proposed budget for the coming year lowers the overall City property tax rate from $0.4950
to $0.4872 per $100 of property valuation. Due to a decrease in the Maintenance & Operations
(M&O) portion of the tax rate which is dedicated for city operations from $0.3470 to $0.3324 per
$100 of valuation, the City was able to increase the Interest & Sinking (I&S) portion that pays the
City’s debt, raising it from $0.1480 to $0.1548 per $100 of valuation.
This M&O tax rate will help meet the City’s Budget Priority Goals for staff compensation
adjustments, additional infrastructure projects emphasizing streets, and the addition of a few key
positions along with other new expenditures.
Staff proposes to raise salaries for all departments by 4.7% across the board for inflation. This
number is based on the last 2 quarterly reports by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the
Employment Cost Index (ECI). This metric measures wages and benefits costs across the county
based on private corporation jobs, civilian jobs, and state and local government jobs. The past 2
quarterly reports showed wages for state and local governments has grown by 4.7% each and is
the basis for the adjustment recommendation. This ECI adjustment is proposed to take effect in
October 2023 with the new budget.
In addition to the proposed adjustments from the ECI, the primary goal for FY 2023-24 is to
address compensation for employees. Turnover in the City is high and hiring is difficult due to
non-competitive wages. Based on staff's review of target cities' wages in the area, there is strong
indication Schertz is below market in the wages offered to employees. Working with City Council,
the City has contracted with Public Sector Personnel Consultants (PSPC) to conduct a
Classification & Compensation Study to adjust wages to get Schertz' positions to at least the
market pay. Based on the original review by Staff, an estimated $2.6 million of adjustments could
be needed, with $1.9 million showing in FY 2023-24 with the anticipated January 2024 wage
adjustment. The final number will be based on the results of the survey.
In FY 2023-24 the City is proposing authorizing the following additional positions: three
Firefighters in preparation of the opening of proposed Fire Station #4, one Administrative
Assistant for Engineering, one Part Time Records Clerk for the City Secretary, four Emergency
Medical Technicians for EMS, and one Lead Clerk for Utility Billing.
The City has an adopted goal of keeping a fund balance level of 26% of operating expenditures,
and if over that target, must reduce the fund balance to 26% within 5 years. At this time it is
estimated the General Fund will have a fund balance reserve equal to 29% of operating
expenditures by the end of September 2024 and 26.4% at the end of September 2025. Key
expenditures to achieve this goal include the wage adjustments, the replacement cameras and
TASER equipment for police, and the one-time withdraw from the fund balance of $1 million for
street improvements.
The Guadalupe County Tax Assessor valued the City’s total taxable value at $5,440,641,228.
This is a 11.3% increase or $551,629,839 over last fiscal year. Commercial development has
been strong with new permit revenue exceeding the budget for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23, but
staff has been seeing a slowdown in new residential permits with revenue dropping from $588,000
in FY 2019-20 to an estimated $225,000 for FY 2022-23. Staff will be keeping an eye on new
developments in FY 2023-24 to react appropriately based on economic changes.
Sales taxes in the City of Schertz have experienced strong growth in the past few years averaging
over 10% annual growth the past 3 years. Staff has been keeping an eye on the economy and
the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has stated their desire to curb inflation and has taken
frequent action to slow down the economy. As a result, the target Federal Funds Rate is 5.25%-
5.5%. This directly affects mortgage lending rates and is believed to be affecting the slowdown of
new residential construction. As such, while in FY 2022-23 the City is expected to see 10% growth
in sales tax revenue, staff will forecast sales tax revenue for FY 2023-24 to be in line with the
long-term average growth in Schertz of 7%.
Regarding past bonds, in 2010, voters in the City of Schertz approved a bond package for the
construction of additional baseball fields, a soccer complex, an animal adoption center, the
relocation of the playscape, an indoor aquatic center, and infrastructure improvements to
downtown Schertz. The only remaining project is the downtown/Main Street improvements which
is proposed to start construction in FY 2023-24.
In 2015, voters approved a bond package for the construction of Fire Station #3, FM 1103 road
improvements and FM 1518 road improvements. Fire Station #3 has been completed and the
funds for FM 1103 and FM 1518 have been sent to the Texas Department of Transportation to
begin construction.
In 2021, voters approved a bond package for the construction of Fire Station #4. These funds
have been issued, the land has been purchased, and the project is currently in the design phase.
It is currently projected to open in calendar year 2025.
I would like to thank all Department Heads for their assistance in the development of this
document. Special thanks are due to the following people for their critical roles in the completion
of this budget: Deputy City Manager Brian James, Assistant City Manager Sarah Gonzalez, and
Finance Department staff Babett Martin, Mike Walkden, and Finance Director James Walters.
Lastly, I wish to thank the Mayor and City Council for your continued support and leadership.
Together, we are providing vision and quality operations to the City while being good stewards of
the resources our residents and businesses have provided.
Sincerely,
Steve Williams
City Manager

Executive Summary
General Fund
Revenue: Revenues for FY 2023-24 Budget are expected to increase 3.9% from the FY
2022-23 year-end estimate. The largest contributor to this increase will be from property
and sales taxes. The property taxes for FY 2022-23 are estimated to increase 5.8% and
sales taxes are estimated to increase 7.0%.
These increases are offset by a projected decrease in building permits and fees expected
in FY 2023-24 as new development starts to slow down with the Federal Reserve tightening
lending.
Expenses: The overall FY 2023-24 Budget increased 13.0% from the FY 2022-23 year-
end estimates. This includes wage increases based on the Classification & Compensation
Study be implemented in January 2024, 4 new personnel and a 4.7% ECI increase.
This budget also includes an additional $1 million in one-time funding for street preservation
and maintenance.
Another notable increase is related to the replacement of all in-car cameras, body worn
cameras, and TASERs for the police department. The existing camera systems are being
discontinued by the manufacturer and need to be replaced. Due to the lack of support for
the existing system, all the devices need to be replaced at once. Due to this, staff is
proposing a lease and service plan that will pay $550,000 annually for 5 years to cover the
new system.
City Council
The Proposed FY 2023-24 Budget increases 23.8% from the FY 2022 -23 year-end
estimates for in anticipated CPI increases and expenditures related to a City Charter review
process.
City Manager
The FY 2023-24 Budget decreases 14.8% from the FY 2022-23 year-end estimates. The
decrease is due to transferring the personnel related to Economic Development services to
their own department in the General Fund and the removal of the Assista nt to the City
Manager position.
Municipal Court
The FY 2023-24 Budget increased 8.9% from FY 2023 -24 year-end estimates for the
proposed wage adjustments.
311 Customer Service
The FY 2023-24 Budget increases 6.2% from the FY 2022 -23 year end estimates for the
anticipated wage increases with no other changes to operation.
1 of 2751 of 275
Planning & Zoning
The FY 2023-24 Budget increases by 41.0% from the FY 2022-23 year end estimate due
to filling vacancies in the planner positions seen in FY 2022 -23 and the anticipated wage
increases for FY 2023-24.
Legal Services
The FY 2023-24 Budget increases 28.6% from the FY 2022-23 year end estimate. Staff
has not needed to utilize legal services as much as past years and will continue to
budget a downward trend if expenditures continue to fall.
Economic Development
The FY 2022-23 Budget transfers expenditures previously located in the City Manager
and Non-Departmental budgets. The personnel did increase with the proposed wage
adjustments and the amount paid into the TIRZ increased based on development located
in the designated area of the Crossvine development.
City Secretary
The FY 2023-24 Budget increases 14.6% from the FY 2022-23 year-end estimate from
the anticipated wage adjustments and the addition of part time Records Clerk position to
aid with the increasing open records requests.
Non-Departmental
The FY 2023-24 Budget decreases 17.0% from the FY 2022-23 year-end estimate by
transferring the Tax Abatement/TIRZ line and the local flavor grant to the new Economic
Development department and is offset by setting the contingency accounts to $480,000
total.
Public Affairs
The FY 2023-24 Budget increases 6.0% from the FY 2022-23 year-end estimates. The
increase is caused by the anticipated wage adjustments.
Engineering
The FY 2023-24 Engineering Budget increased 31.7% from the FY 2022-23 year-end
estimate for two new positions, inspector and engineer, and vehicle replacements.
Police
The FY 2023-24 Budget increases 14.8% from the FY 2022-23 year-end estimates. 5
school resource officers are added to the position, but due to the difficulty in hiring police
officers they are added without funding in the budget. If hired, the contract with Schertz -
Cibolo-Universal City ISD will be updated and funds will be added to the budget. The
increase in the budget is due to the anticipated wage adjustments, the new
lease/maintenance program to replace the body cameras, in-car cameras, and the
TASERs that is estimated at $550,000 per year for 5 years, and an increase in vehicle
replacement due to price increases for vehicles.
Fire Rescue
The FY 2023-24 Budget will increase 13.2% from the FY 2022-23 year-end estimate. This
increase comes from adding 3 new captain positions, promoting 3 Firefighters to Fire
Apparatus Operators (FAO) and from anticipated wage adjustments.

GENERAL FUND
PROGRAM JUSTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
Revenue: Revenues for FY 2023-24 Budget are expected to increase 3.9% from
the FY 2022-23 year-end estimate. The largest contributor to this increase will be
from property and sales taxes. The property taxes for FY 2022-23 are estimated
to increase 5.8% and sales taxes are estimated to increase 7.0%.
These increases are offset by a projected decrease in building permits and fees
expected in FY 2023-24 as new development starts to slow down with the Federal
Reserve tightening lending.
Expenses: The overall FY 2023-24 Budget increased 13.0% from the FY 2022-23
year-end estimates. This includes wage increases based on the Classification &
Compensation Study be implemented in January 2024 , 4 new personnel and a
4.7% ECI increase.
This budget also includes an additional $1 million in one-time funding for street
preservation and maintenance.
Another notable increase is related to the replacement of all in -car cameras, body
worn cameras, and TASERs for the police department. The existing camera
systems are being discontinued by the manufacturer and need to be replaced. Due
to the lack of support for the existing system, all the devices need to be replaced
at once. Due to this, staff is proposing a lease and service plan that will pay
$550,000 annually for 5 years to cover the new system.

economic development in the City of Schertz. Staff here is contracted by the

Increment Refinancing Zone (TIRZ) in the Crossvine Development that the City
pays into along with the other taxing jurisdictions, Bexar County and the San

DEPARTMENT: 173 ENGINEERING
FUND: 101 GENERAL FUND
DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION
The Engineering Department serves as technical advisor to the City Manager, City
Council, Executive Staff, and other City departments. Engineering collaborates
with Public Works, Planning and Community Development, Economic
Development, Parks and Recreation, and other departments, citizens, developers,
and other governmental agencies in order to effectively plan and implement
infrastructure improvement and development for the organized growth of the City.
Engineering works with Public Works and Finance to development and implement
the City's Capital Improvement Programs for water, wastewater, streets, and
drainage. That responsibility includes the development and maintenance of
infrastructure master plans; the prioritization of projects; the identification and
procurement of project funding; and the management of the design and
construction of necessary infrastructure.
The Engineering Department reviews applications for public and private land
development for conformance with adopted engineering standard s, policies,
codes, and infrastructure master plans. Engineering Inspectors ensure that the
construction of public infrastructure – both privately and publicly constructed –
follows appropriate standards and specifications. Ensuring compliance promotes
a safe community in which the essential services of the provision of water,
wastewater, transportation, and drainage are available and arranged for fiscal
sustainability.
The Engineering Department maintains standard construction details, technical
specifications, and design guidelines.
The Transportation Safety Advisory Commission (TSAC) is staffed by the
Engineering Department. The TSAC is a Commission that hears citizen input,
considers transportation issues, and makes recommendations to City Council
regarding traffic and transportation related matters throughout the City.

PROGRAM JUSTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
The FY 2023-24 Budget increases 14.8% from the FY 2022-23 year-end
estimates. 5 school resource officers are added to the position, but due to the
difficulty in hiring police officers they are added without funding in the budget. If
hired, the contract with Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD will be updated and
funds will be added to the budget. The increase in the budget is due to the
anticipated wage adjustments, the new lease/maintenance program to replace the
body cameras, in-car cameras, and the TASERs that is estimated at $550,000 per
year for 5 years, and an increase in vehicle replacement due to price increases for
vehicles.

FUND: 411 CAPITAL RECOVERY FUND
WATER
(Water & Sewer)
DESCRIPTION
The Capital Recovery program is designated to support future growth of population
and commercial water and wastewater demands without an impact on existing
customers while keeping bond supported programs to a minimum. Capital
Recovery projects are based on the number of connections sold to increase
pumping, storage and transmission water lines, and wastewater programs. Impact
funds (Capital Recovery) must be used within ten years of collection date. All
water and wastewater improvements are constructed to meet State Board of
Insurance and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules and regulations.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
• Ensure the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) rules
and regulations are met for future growth.
• Continue to improve and provide an efficient and reliable water and
wastewater system that meets all of the State rules and regulations and
future growth in the community.
• Provide citizens with quality projects completed on-time and on-budget.
• Design a 3 million gallon ground storage and booster station
• State law mandates that the Water/Wastewater Capital Recovery plan
be updated at least every five years. The last study was 2011.

FUND: 421 CAPITAL RECOVERY FUND
SEWER
(Water & Sewer)
DESCRIPTION
The Capital Recovery program is designated to support future growth of population
and commercial water and wastewater demands without an impact on existing
customers while keeping bond supported programs to a minimum. Capital
Recovery projects are based on the number of connections sold to increase
pumping, storage and transmission water lines, and wastewater programs. Impact
funds (Capital Recovery) must be used within ten years of collection date. All
water and wastewater improvements are constructed to meet State Board of
Insurance and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules and regulations.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
• Ensure the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) rules
and regulations are met for future growth.
• Continue to improve and provide an efficient and reliable water and
wastewater system that meets all of the State rules and regulations and
future growth in the community.
• Preliminary engineering and land acquisition for a waste water treatment
plant for South Schertz. Initiate plans for the Southeast Quad Pump
Station and the Ground Storage and Distribution Main for South Schertz.
State law mandates that the Water/Wastewater Capital Recovery Plan
be updated at least every five years. Last study was in 20 11. Currently
the Sedona WWTP serves the Crossvine Subdivision area but will be
eliminated when the new CCMA WWTP comes on line. A sewer line and
lift-station will be needed to accomplish this project.
• Initiate and institute a study to implement reuse water throughout the
City.
• Provide citizens with quality projects completed on-time and on-budget.

PROGRAM JUSTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
Revenues: The SEDC receives one-half of one percent of all sales and use tax
generated within the City of Schertz. The revenue for FY 20 23-24 is projected to
increase by 9.3% from the FY 2023-24 year-end estimate. The increase is
reflective of an increase in sales tax revenue of 7% and additional investment
income makes up the remainder.
Expenses: The SEDC funds are restricted to those expenses authorized by the
Texas Local Government Code sections 501 and 505. The expenses for FY 2023-
24 are projected to increase 7.2% to utilize the maximum allowed Marketing and
Promotion dollars. Unspent Marketing and Promotion dollars may be carried
forward per State statute for Marketing and Promotion purposes.
Project Expenses: The SEDC is funding improvements to Lookout Rd,
signalization, and upsizing of wastewater facilities in FY 2023-24.

FUND: 110 Public, Educational, and
Government (PEG) Access Fund
DESCRIPTION
The PEG Fund is dedicated to provide communication infrastructure in the City.
This will allow the City to better reach the citizens with necessary information.
This fund is commonly used for public access television and institutional network
capacity. Currently the level of funding from the collected fees is not great
enough to warrant a public access channel but could be used so in the future.

FY 2022-23 year-end estimates with the continued implementation of the
communication master plan.

PROGRAM JUSTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
Revenue: Revenue for FY 2023-24 Budget is expected to decrease 16.1% from
the FY 2022-23 year end estimates. FY 2022-23 received a lump sum of back
taxes owed resulting in a higher revenue amount than is normal.
Expenses: The Hotel Motel Tax Fund FY 2023-24 Budget increases 2.2% from
FY 2022-23 year-end estimate. Fewer building maintenance and projects offset
increases in the City Support Services grant program .

Subject:Ordinance 23-T-19 – Conduct a Public Hearing and approve an Ordinance
approving the appraisal roll; setting the tax rate; levying and assessing general
and special ad valorem taxes for the use and support of the municipal
government of the City of Schertz, Texas. Final Reading (S.Gonzalez/J.Walters)
BACKGROUND
At the August 4, 2023, Council meeting and Budget Workshop, the City Council, by record vote,
established a proposed preliminary maximum tax rate of $0.4872, per $100 of value, with the M&O rate
at $0.3324 and the I&S portion of $0.1548. This rate was under the Voter-Approval rate but greater
than the No-New-Revenue rate.
In accordance with Chapter 26.05(d) of the State’s Property Tax Code, a governing body must hold a
public hearing on the tax rate if the proposed tax rate exceeds the lower of the No-New-Revenue or
Voter-Approval Tax Rate. In this case a hearing is required as the proposed rate does exceed the
No-New-Revenue rate.
The first public hearing was held on August 15, 2023, regular session of City Council. A second public
hearing will be conducted on September 5, 2023.
During the tax rate adoption process Council can approve a lower rate, however they will not be able to
approve a rate higher than this without republishing the notices and holding additional public hearings.
Due to timing constraints set by the State Tax Code 26.05(a), the latest council could set a new
preliminary rate was August 15, 2023, without calling special meetings or declaring an emergency.
Per Sec 26.05(b) of the Tax Code, the tax rate can only be adopted with more than 60% of the votes in
favor of the proposed tax rate. Since Schertz has 7 voting Councilmembers, 5 members must vote in
favor of the tax rate for it to pass.
GOAL
To adopt a tax rate in compliance with state statues and the City Charter.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The programs funded by this tax rate will provide additional benefits and service levels to the
community.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends adoption of the tax rate of $0.4872
FISCAL IMPACT
This tax rate will raise more total property taxes than last year by $2,398,167, or a 9.9% increase, and
This tax rate will raise more total property taxes than last year by $2,398,167, or a 9.9% increase, and
of that amount $554,255 is tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year.
These funds will go to pay for employee compensation and infrastructure such as roads, parks, and city
facilities.
The current property tax rate is $0.4950 per $100 valuation. The proposed maximum tax rate will be
$0.4872 per $100 valuation. The M&O portion of the property tax rate will decrease to $0.3324 from
$0.3470 per $100 valuation. The I&S portion will increase to $0.1548 from $0.1480 per $100 valuation.
This tax rate will raise more taxes for Maintenance and Operations than last year’s tax rate. The tax rate
will effectively be raised by 3.5% and will raise taxes for maintenance and operations on a $100,000
home by approximately $11.24.
RECOMMENDATION

2023-24 Proposed Tax Rate on final reading.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Tax Code Section 26.04(c) requires an officer or employee designated by the governing body to calculate the no-new-revenue (NNR) tax rate and
voter-approval tax rate for the taxing unit. These tax rates are expressed in dollars per $100 of taxable value calculated. The calculation process starts after the chief appraiser
delivers to the taxing unit the certified appraisal roll and the estimated values of properties under protest. The designated officer or employee shall certify that the officer or
employee has accurately calculated the tax rates and used values shown for the certified appraisal roll or certified estimate. The officer or employee submits the rates to the
governing body by Aug. 7 or as soon thereafter as practicable.
School districts do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-859 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District without Chapter 313 Agreements or Comptroller Form

The Comptroller’s office provides this worksheet to assist taxing units in determining tax rates. The information provided in this worksheet is offered as technical assistance and not
legal advice. Taxing units should consult legal counsel for interpretations of law regarding tax rate preparation and adoption.
SECTION 1: No-New-Revenue Tax Rate
The NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount
of taxes (no new taxes) if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years. When appraisal values increase, the NNR tax rate should decrease.
The NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.
While uncommon, it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exemption for only maintenance and operations taxes. In this case, the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax
rate separately for the maintenance and operations tax and the debt tax, then add the two components together.

SECTION 2: Voter-Approval Tax Rate
The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that a taxing unit may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate. The voter-approval tax rate is split
into two separate rates:
1. Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Tax Rate: The M&O portion is the tax rate that is needed to raise the same amount of taxes that the taxing unit levied in the prior year
plus the applicable percentage allowed by law. This rate accounts for such things as salaries, utilities and day-to-day operations.
2. Debt Rate: The debt rate includes the debt service necessary to pay the taxing unit’s debt payments in the coming year. This rate accounts for principal and interest on bonds
and other debt secured by property tax revenue.
The voter-approval tax rate for a county is the sum of the voter-approval tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies. In most cases the voter-approval tax rate
exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate, but occasionally decreases in a taxing unit’s debt service will cause the NNR tax rate to be higher than the voter-approval tax rate.

Disaster Line 41 (D41): 2023 voter-approval M&O rate for taxing unit affected by disaster declaration. If the taxing unit is located in an
area declared a disaster area and at least one person is granted an exemption under Tax Code Section 11.35 for property located in the taxing
unit, the governing body may direct the person calculating the voter-approval tax rate to calculate in the manner provided for a special taxing
unit. The taxing unit shall continue to calculate the voter-approval tax rate in this manner until the earlier of
1)the first year in which total taxable value on the certified appraisal roll exceeds the total taxable value of
the tax year in which the disaster occurred, or
2)the third tax year after the tax year in which the disaster occurred
If the taxing unit qualifies under this scenario, multiply Line 40C by 1.08. 27 If the taxing unit does not qualify, do not complete
Disaster Line 41 (Line D41).

SECTION 3: NNR Tax Rate and Voter-Approval Tax Rate Adjustments for Additional Sales Tax to Reduce Property Taxes
Cities, counties and hospital districts may levy a sales tax specifically to reduce property taxes. Local voters by election must approve imposing or abolishing the additional sales
tax. If approved, the taxing unit must reduce its NNR and voter-approval tax rates to offset the expected sales tax revenue.
This section should only be completed by a county, city or hospital district that is required to adjust its NNR tax rate and/or voter-approval tax rate because it adopted the
additional sales tax.
SECTION 4: Voter-Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Pollution Control
A taxing unit may raise its rate for M&O funds used to pay for a facility, device or method for the control of air, water or land pollution. This includes any land, structure, building,
installation, excavation, machinery, equipment or device that is used, constructed, acquired or installed wholly or partly to meet or exceed pollution control requirements. The
taxing unit’s expenses are those necessary to meet the requirements of a permit issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The taxing unit must provide
the tax assessor with a copy of the TCEQ letter of determination that states the portion of the cost of the installation for pollution control.
This section should only be completed by a taxing unit that uses M&O funds to pay for a facility, device or method for the control of air, water or land pollution.

SECTION 5: Voter-Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Unused Increment Rate
The unused increment rate is the rate equal to the difference between the adopted tax rate and voter-approval tax rate adjusted to remove the unused increment rate for the prior
three years. 39 In a year where a taxing unit adopts a rate by applying any portion of the unused increment rate, the portion of the unused increment rate must be backed out of the
calculation for that year.
The difference between the adopted tax rate and adjusted voter-approval tax rate is considered zero in the following scenarios:
• a tax year before 2020; 40
• a tax year in which the municipality is a defunding municipality, as defined by Tax Code Section 26.0501(a); 41 or
• after Jan. 1, 2022, a tax year in which the comptroller determines that the county implemented a budget reduction or reallocation described by Local Government Code
Section 120.002(a) without the required voter approval. 42
Individual components can be negative, but the overall rate would be the greater of zero or the calculated rate.
This section should only be completed by a taxing unit that does not meet the definition of a special taxing unit. 43

SECTION 7: Voter-Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Emergency Revenue Rate
In the tax year after the end of the disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a), a taxing unit that calculated its voter-approval tax rate in the manner
provided for a special taxing unit due to a disaster must calculate its emergency revenue rate and reduce its voter-approval tax rate for that year.46
Similarly, if a taxing unit adopted a tax rate that exceeded its voter-approval tax rate, calculated normally, without holding an election to respond to a disaster, as allowed by Tax
Code Section 26.042(d), in the prior year, it must also reduce its voter-approval tax rate for the current tax year. 47
This section will apply to a taxing unit other than a special taxing unit that:
• directed the designated officer or employee to calculate the voter-approval tax rate of the taxing unit in the manner provided for a special taxing unit in the prior year; and
• the current year is the first tax year in which the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit as shown on the appraisal roll for the taxing unit submitted by the
assessor for the taxing unit to the governing body exceeds the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit on January 1 of the tax year in which the disaster
occurred or the disaster occurred four years ago. This section will apply to a taxing unit in a disaster area that adopted a tax rate greater than its voter-approval tax rate
without holding an election in the prior year.
Note: This section does not apply if a taxing unit is continuing to calculate its voter-approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit because it is still within the
disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a) because it has not met the conditions in Tax Code Section 26.042(a)(1) or (2).

being significantly higher than engineer’s estimate. Project was phased out into various
subspecialties and is being managed by city staff to contract individual subcontractors.
Phase I included demolition of existing fence and placing of temporary fencing. Phase II
was electrical work to bring panel up to code and add capacity for larger pumps and is
completed. Phase III is replacing the well pump and piping and bids have been received
and the work is being scheduled. Project is on a brief hold while we push on the splashpad
project. The goal is to circle back with contractors and revise bids in September to get the
project going again.
TxDOT Roadway Projects:
1. FM 1103 Improvement Project: Unexpected utility conflicts are still causing delay of the
overall project. While construction officially began in November 2022, and was expected to be

Updates will be shared as available from TxDOT. General project updates are available by
signing up at this link: FM 1103 Construction Newsletter
2. FM 1518 Improvement Project: The scheduled let date for the project is scheduled for October
5, 2023. A report of the letting should be shared in next month’s project update. Acquisition of
needed right of way from JBSA appears to be proceeding positively so that full build out can be
completed without the need for an interim solution along that stretch of roadway.
3. IH-35 NEX (I-410 South to FM 1103): The central segment of the I-35 Northeast Expansion
project continues with Alamo NEX Construction handling the design-build project. The central
section runs from 410 N to FM 3009.
