City Council Regular Meeting
Meeting Date: 01/26/2021  

BACKGROUND
SSLGC, the City of Schertz, and the City of Seguin worked to make substantial changes to the Agreement for Management Services between SSLGC, the City of Schertz, and the City of Seguin. These changes are a result of the continued transition of SSLGC to a single entity that functions more autonomously from the Corporation’s owner cities (Schertz and Seguin). The revised agreement was presented and approved at the August 20, 2020, SSLGC monthly board meeting by the Board of Directors. After the initial SSLGC board approval, the City of Schertz' attorney recommended modifications to the agreement, including the agreement's structure, to address liability concerns related to protecting the City in regard to labor laws. Further, there are concerns that in the new agreement, Schertz is ceding too much employment authority to SSLGC while still retaining full liability for the General Manager and Assistant General Manager for which the City of Schertz is the employer of record for these two positions.

At the SSLGC monthly board meeting on September 17, 2020, the SSLGC Board of Directors rescinded their prior approval of the MSA presented and accepted an extension of the current Management Services Agreement with the City of Schertz through December 31, 2020. Then, at the SSLGC monthly board meeting on November 19, 2020, the SSLGC Board of Directors excepted an additional extension to the current Management Services Agreement extending to January 31, 2021.During this extension period, the SSLGC Executive Committee  worked through further modifications to the management services agreements related to SSLGC.

Services provided under this MSA are subject to oversight by the SSLGC Board, SSLGC General Manager, and City Management.

Term of the agreement is January 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022, unless otherwise renewed or extended at the discretion of both parties
