Steve Schwab -1017 Water Oak: Mr. Schwab introduced himself as a candidate for State Legislature House
District #44. He invited the City Council and residents to come meet him at 6:00 pm on May 3, 2025, at Schertz
Beer Garden. He is looking forward to meeting the community and listening to what their needs are.
Brent Bolter - 2633 Cloverbrook Lane: Mr. Bolter wanted to discuss the new contract with Frontier Waste
Solution. There was a flash survey which the city put out and there were only 336 replies, and he believes that the
city does not get a real opinion from the residents. He feels the community was not well-informed of the pending
changes and will be suprised when a 96-gallon tote appears at their residence. All residents will have a
once -a -week service and recycling and bulk pick-up every other week.
2
Dana Eldridge - 2628 Gallant Fox Drive: Mr. Eldridge reviewed last week's council meeting several times. On
April 1, 2025, Council approved a contract with Frontier for solid waster service, recycling, and bulk pick-up for
$18.10 a month. An option to have hazardous waste picked up would be $1.10 additional even if the residents
didn't want it. The total monthly cost would be $19.10. Mr. Eldridge wanted to know when the proposed rate was
$18.10 and the hazardous waste charge added $1.10. Why didn't anyone on the council raise their hand and ask
about the $1.10 difference?
Daniel Jameson -1000 FM 78, Schertz: Mr. Jameson invited the community to VFW on Saturday from 8-11 am
for a wonderful hearty breakfast. He also wanted to see the 96-gallon garbage tote reduced to something smaller.
Penny Jennings -2501 Hourless Oak Lane: Ms. Jennings believes the decision on the new contract has left
several residents unhappy. She feels this decision was rushed through and not given consideration to the residents
and neighborhood HOA's. The flash survey that ran a couple of days does not represent what Schertz wants. Ms.
Jennings was concerned about the lawn garbage bags that would have to be held every other week for bulk
pick-up.

10. Resolution 25-R-021 - Authorizing the approval of a Development Agreement with BFR LLC for the
approximately 30 acre tract at FM 1518 and Woman Hollering Road (S.Williams/B.James)
Resolution 25-R-021 was discussed following item #16-Discussion regarding expansion of the CCMA
South Plan due to lack of City of Schertz Capacity.
DCM Brian James is recommending that the City Council authorize a Development Agreement with
BFR LLC. The agreement commits the City to providing water and sewer service to their property, an
approximately 30-acre tract located at the northeast corner of Woman Hollering Road and FM 1518,
that is currently in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and to limit city water and sewer impact
fees to the amount currently being charged. Additionally, it provides that the proposed use of the
property, a multi -family complex, be an allowed use. The owner agrees to petition for voluntary
annexation once the project has been constructed. Prior to executing the agreement, the City must obtain
additional capacity in the south plant from either GVSUD or the City of Cibolo. As such, the resolution
stipulates that capacity must be obtained prior to executing the Development Agreement.

11. Resolution 25-R-005 - Approving a Utility Service Extension Request for Woman Hollering
Townhomes (B.James/K.Woodlee)
Resolution 25-R-005 was discussed following item #16-Discussion regarding expansion of the CCMA
South Plan due to lack of City of Schertz Capacity.
DCM Brian James explained to the City Council the utility service extension request for Woman
Hollering Townhomes. He stated that by allowing the extension of public utilities to the proposed
Woman Hollering Townhomes development, a short extension of the sanitary sewer main will be
constructed to provide a connection point for several parcels within the City's CCN and the City Limits.
Also, without approval of the service extension request, the property might still be developed, although
at a lower density but with on -site septic facilities, which are not desirable if public facilities are nearby
and accessible. The property owner has also agreed to be annexed into the city limits once certain
development steps are completed. The staff recommended approval.

April 2025 Drainage Rate Study Discussion -Public Works Director Larry Busch and Public Works
Supervisor -Drainage Kevin Anderson
PW Director Larry Busch and PW Drainage Supervisor Kevin Anderson provided a presentation to the
Council on the Drainage Utility Systems. Mr. Busch provided some history of where the city started, and
where it is today with the services being provided. He also wanted to be in line with the Council as they
move forward with a Drainage Rate Study.
Schertz Drainage Utility Rate History
• Ordinance 03-F-11: Establishes Drainage Utility System.
• Living Unit Equivalent (LUE) based on an average lot size of 7550 sq. ft.
The history of the Drainage Utility Rate started in 2003. The fee per LUE is added to the water bill and is
for the drainage department. It has been a while since the City has adjusted these rates.
The following is a list of drainage utility projects and how they were funded:
• Schertz Drainage Utility Project History
• Scenic Hills/Greenridge (2017) - Drainage Fund
• Lower Seguin Road Culvert (2017) - Drainage Fund
• East Dietz Creek De -silting (2018) - Drainage Fund
• 2018 Drainage Projects (2018-2021) - 45% General Fund; 55% Drainage Fund
• FM 78 South Channel (2023-Present) - General Fund
Drainage Fund Balance — Currently $723,000. Mr. Anderson explained the minimal fund balance is
kept at 26% which is creating a shortfall for current projects.
Mr. Busch presented the previous 5-Year Drainage Fund analysis and the upcoming 5-Year Projections
as shown below.

Mayor Gutierrez thanked Mr. Busch and staff for their work to mitigate flooding before it actually
happens, by mowing and keeping the creek clean. He explained that in preparing for future flooding, the
city can be proactive by maintaining the drainage areas to make sure they are clear of debris. Questions
and concerns on how to inform the residents of the process/changes in the future concerning drainage
utilities were discussed. Mr. James explained this process will take a lot of time, staff will be very
proactive in keeping the residents informed.
16. Discussion regarding expansion of the CCMA South Plan due to lack of City of Schertz Capacity
Deputy City Manager Brian James presented the CCM South WWTP Expansion. With the
development and growth in the city, it is important that we address the need to have an expansion of
sewer service to those new areas. DCM James explained the CCMA-three phases of capacity allowed.
These are the phases identified in the current CCMA discharge permit up to 3 MGD
• Interim Phase 1 (Current Phase)
• 0.5 MGD (million gallons per day) • 3,225 LUEs worth of capacity (living unit equivalents, or
single-family residences)
• Interim Phase 2
• 1 MGD • 6,450 LUEs
• Final Phase
• 3 MGD • 19,350 LUEs
• The plant can be expanded to any capacity between 1 MGD and 3 MGD with a minor amendment to
the permit
• Expansion of the plant beyond 3 MGD will require a major amendment
The Schertz Expansion Request of CCMA
Existing Southern WTP has a total of 0.5 MGD. • Schertz has 0.25 MGD capacity out of the 0.5 MGD
but 0.125 MGD is allocated to GVSUD • Cibolo has 0.25 MGD capacity out of the 0.5 MGD
• Schertz is requesting an additional 1.375 MGD (8,870 LUEs) to accommodate our flow requirements.
• The plant expansion would be a minimum of 1.875 MGD
• Schertz would have 1.625 MGD capacity (minus GVSUD's 0.125 MGD)
• Cibolo would still only have 0.25 MGD capacity if it does not participate in the expansion.
• Cibolo is considering whether to participate in an expansion and, if so, at what level of capacity.
1.875 MGD Expansion
1.875 MGD Expansion Construction
• 1.875 MGD (12,096 LUEs) expansion to a permitted total of 2.375 MGD (15,322 LUEs)
• Schertz would get an additional 1.375 MGD (8,870 LUEs) to accommodate our flow
requirements.
• Schertz would own a total of 1.625 MGD (10,483 LUEs) in the expanded facility but GVSUD
would have rights to 0.125 MGD (806 LUEs).
• Cibolo would receive an additional 0.5 MGD (3,225 LUEs) to accommodate their own flow
requirements plus their obligations to GVSUD under the comprehensive settlement agreement.
• Additional capacity for GVSUD is not included in this option, but if requested, should have little
impact on the pricing for the two cities.
0
Estimated Costs
• 1.875 MGD expansion would cost approximately $64.69 million
• This is assuming $30 per gallon of construction costs and a 15% Engineering cost
• Construction costs anywhere between $25 per gallon and $60 per gallon, with most recent jobs of
this size and scope trending toward the lower end
• Construction costs $56.25 million • Schertz' share of cost at roughly 73% of the capacity would
be roughly $41.25 million
• Design costs $8.44 million
• Schertz' share at roughly 73% would be roughly $6.2 million
• Total estimated costs for Schertz would be roughly $47.5 million
The projected timeline for completion of the project is 48-65 months. Council agreed that the city needs
to start now in planning and acquiring capacity for future growth. DCM James will move forward with
this project and keep council updated.
