The council approved Resolution 26-R-120, a task order amendment with Half Associates for the final design of the Lower Seguin Road project. (vote: 7-0). Motion by Councilmember Macaluso, seconded by Councilmember Davis. Final design is the phase named in the reviewed decision. Residents tracking travel on Lower Seguin Road should watch subsequent project documents for the work schedule and any construction action.
The council approved Resolution 26-R-118, a task order agreement with Half Associates Inc. for engineering design of the Weir Road Crossing repair and replacement project. (vote: 7-0). Motion by Councilmember Guerrero, seconded by Councilmember Westbrook. Together, the three recorded approvals move engineering work on separate road and crossing projects forward; the outcome summaries do not provide a construction start date. The official packet is the primary route for readers who want to inspect the listed resolutions and supporting project material.
Scenic Hill drainage remains open
The council took no action on the Scenic Hills drainage public hearing. Council members directed staff to come back with options. That direction, rather than a selected drainage fix, is the verified next step for residents following the area’s drainage concerns. A later staff presentation or posted agenda will be the record to check for the options and any proposed cost or scope.
Citizen comments
The posted agenda provided a general Hearing of Residents period and public hearings on the data-center ordinance and Scenic Hill drainage. The retained reviewed outcome summaries establish the council’s dispositions, but do not describe individual testimony or official replies. This source limitation prevents a reliable account of residents’ distinct views or item-specific requests from the material supplied here; it does not establish whether anyone spoke. The hearing and comment portions of the official video are the next record to review before attributing comments or responses.
Other business and the next record
The posted agenda also listed a tree and brush service agreement as item 3, a critical-illness insurance interlocal agreement as item 4, and a street-lighting workshop as item 8. It listed August and September check reports as items 15 and 16. Those entries show the range of scheduled business, but this recap makes no separate decision claim for them from the agenda alone. Readers interested in service contracts, employee coverage or city spending can use the numbered official agenda to locate the corresponding documents.
The council took no action after its closed-session legal consultation under agenda item 10. After the closed-session annual evaluation, the council approved a 3% raise for City Secretary Sheila Edmondson. (vote: 7-0). Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Watson, seconded by Councilmember Westbrook. The agenda had separately noticed a Project Cool Cat economic-development discussion and possible public action, a legal consultation and the secretary’s evaluation. A closed-session notice describes proposed private discussion; the two reviewed public outcomes above are the actions this account can establish.
The Schertz City Council met Oct. 20, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex Council Chambers, 1400 Schertz Parkway, Building 4. The next useful checks are the posted Scenic Hill options, the road project agreements and the fuller public-comment record. Readers can use the meeting agenda to locate the numbered items and the meeting video to verify the recorded council actions.
