Mayor Gutierrez recognized Fire Chief Greg Rodgers who presented a PowerPoint presentation on acquiring approx 31 acres of property for Fire Station #4 located on the north and south sides of Wiederstein Road, generally to the east of Schertz Parkway. This property is owned by SCUCISD. The City is in need of an approximately 5 acre site of land for future Fire Station #4 that will be able to provide improved service to the Industrial area to the north of IH-35. This site would also provide relief to the other fire stations in Schertz. Staff understands SCUCISD is open to selling the property they own as a whole. The appraised value is $1,970,000.

Chief Rodgers stated the response times would be reduced, and our 2nd and 3rd level responses would be reduced to approx. 6 minutes or less which would put in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association. A full response force which could be approx. 18 personnel which is very good.

Councilmember Tim Brown understands the affordability of the land, but has concerns about having no infrastructure.
Chief Rodgers and ACM James discussed the cost of infrastructure, and still believe this is a good area to build Fire Station #4 to cover the Industrial Park area and reduce response times.
