City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

02/20/2024

BACKGROUND

The Great Texas Airshow was traditionally cycled between Randolph JBSA and Lackland AFB every two years. Due to significant changes in the layout of the airfield at Lackland AFB it is now logistically much more difficult to host the airshow at that location. Randolph JBSA hosted this event in 2022 and Schertz PD played a significant role in the traffic and security aspects of the event. Due to Randolph JBSA's history of managing this event and their working relationships with local LE agencies, they have been selected to host the upcoming Airshow and future Airshows. With such a large crowd in attendance, it is imperative that local LE agencies and the military work collaboratively for enforcement response assistance and information sharing to host a successful event.

GOAL

Host a successful Airshow because security and traffic issues will have a significant impact on our community if not proactively mitigated properly.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

The Great Texas Airshow is expected to have over 200,000 people in attendance over the three-day (day one is a practice day with no projected crowds) event. This is a marquee event that promotes the City of Schertz due to our proximity and our ongoing support of the military in the San Antonio area. We need to promote a safe environment and provide traffic assistance for ingress and egress traffic as it will augment and protect the City's image.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Approve the MOA which will provide $6,200 in reimbursement.

FISCAL IMPACT

We are expected to receive $6,200 in reimbursement from the 502 Air Base Wing with an estimated total cost of $11,200 for the three-day event. Therefore, it is projected there will be $5,000 in overtime costs, and it will come from the PD budget.

RECOMMENDATION

Approve Resolution 24-R-22.
