VIII . DISCUSSION ON OWNERSHIP OF DIETZ ROAD
- Mr. Ford addressed the Master Plan-. The Mayor directed Chuck to
prepare a -letter to the Count Judge (Sagebiel ) asking for their
position on the ownership of the road. Chuck had contacted the
TML and could find no law that demanded that the_ City accept the
road. If the City owns the road, it may assess abutting owners a
fee for improvements.
The City is applying for an MPO grant for the entire $633,000 for
road improvements. Two other options were discussed: (1) widening
the road from FM 3009 -to the entry road in Phase 2 in Thistle
Creek and not continuing the improvements along the 1991 feet of
school property (Chuck's alternative) ; or (2) straightening Dietz
Road through the Deer Creek Subdivision to eventually join with
Wiedner Road on into FM 1103 (Mr. Ford's alternative) .
The school is at capacity now, so major increase in traffic will
be toward FM 300.9.
Chuck has contacted Jim Box, the Dove Meadows developer and
recommended that he may want to have exits from that subdivision
placed somewhere other than Dietz Road across from the Dobie
School .
Mr. Ford said that the road will not handle the increase in
traffic without improvements (from 20 feet to 42 feet) .
Mark Buell said let's look at doing the whole thing and having
the developers pay for it.
Ron Flake said that if we went to Court we (Cibolo) and Schertz
would end up with the road.
Tex Farnsworth asked that we get the position of the County, get
Commissioners Court involved. Mr. Ford said that Bexar County
brings a road up in condition and then the City accepts it.
Chuck said we could improve the - road by interlocal government
agreement or by Chapter ,43 annexation..
IX. DISCUSSION/ACTION ON DRAINAGE AT SCHLATHER AND MAIN
Mr. Ford said that Main Street acts as a dam and putting in a box
culvert would reduce water flow towrd the -bowling alley by 30%.
Estimated cost was $10,000 to $15,000 .
Tex moved that the project be done if funding is available.
Seconded by Mark Buell .

ORDINANCE AND DISCUSSION ON IMPACT FEES
Council discussed raising fees for platting, variances and
building permits. Motion to have Chuck analyze fees and recommend
changes as soon as possible.

have been adjusted years ago. The Mayor asked for inclusion of-
administrative fees. Tex moved and Claude seconded. Approved.
Impact fees were not discussed.
XI . APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THISTLE CREEK
Thistle Creek is going to pay park money in lieu of dedicating
park land. Mark brought up .the distance that the students would
have to walk a long ways to the bus.
The Mayor mentioned that when the next phase to be platted is
built, there will be a thourghfare road and the bus could go into
the street. Norman said that the- pumper can go in without any
problem.
Tex moved for approval , seconded by Claude. Approved.
XII . DISCUSSION OF POLICE MATTERS INCLUDING DISPATCH
Tex pointed out that U.C. has hardly raised rates in the many
years that have provided service to Cibolo.. "After 8 years with
U.C. why change?" Chief Suiter explained the options and the
costs of each one. Council directed staff to open negoiations.
with Schertz for dispatching service.
Councilmembers wanted to include some type of escalator clause
that would limit increases in charges for services limiting the
increases to some index for up to five years.
