Ken Greenwald:
Ken reported that the Council is considering an ordinance to "Ban Smoking" in the City
of Schertz. Several ordinances from surrounding cities are to be reviewed connected
with banning smoking in buildings open to the public, in the result of putting together an
ordinance that would best suit the City. If such an ordinance is put together, a vote of
the people would be necessary.
David Richmond:
David reported that the" Japhet" sign at FM3009 has not been taken down, and would
like to know if anyone has been contacted? David was advised, that city staff is having
difficulty contacting anyone wanting to take responsibility for the sign. It is believed that
the sign is in standing in some homeowner's property. If this is the case, the
homeowner may have the option of removing the sign.
David reported that the sign at the intersection of FM3009 and FM 78 advertising "Val's
Storage" has not been taken down. David was advised that the inspection department
has been notified, and notification will be sent that the sign is in violation.
Steve Simonson:
Steve reported that the Lower Seguin Road right-of-way project was delivered to the
City. There are 16 parcels that are to be purchased by the City. Some of the right-of-
way will have to be purchased from the Air Force and other property owners that he
believes will take some time.
Steve reported that the FM 78-project contract is scheduled for June and that
construction is believed to start around August or late September of 1999.
