CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
 
City Council Meeting: December 2, 2025
Department: City Secretary
Subject: Resolution 25-R-169 Nominations and appointment to the Schertz-Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC) Board of Directors.

BACKGROUND

The Schertz Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC) was formed in 1999 to provide drinking water to the cities of Schertz and Seguin.  SSLGC has a five-member board each with a five-year term.  The member cities alternate filling the five seats with one of them expiring each year.  Schertz needs to appoint a new board member to the SSLGC Board of Directors to fulfill the unexpired term ending December 31, 2028, vacated with the passing of Mayor Pro Tem Brown. Additionally, Schertz needs to appoint a third board member with a term beginning January 1, 2026, and ending December 31, 2030. 

Any qualified resident from the City of Schertz can be appointed to this position. At the December 19, 2023, City Council meeting, Council addressed a question regarding whether a current City Councilmember could serve, something that had not occurred in the past, from either City, as far as staff was aware. City Attorney, Dan Santee, stated that City and Board attorneys agreed that there was nothing in the law to preclude a Councilmember from serving on the Board with the understanding that a conflict could arise from which the Councilmember would need to abstain.  If a Councilmember is chosen for either term, they should state their understanding when accepting the nomination.

At the next Council Meeting on December 2, 2025, two board members must be chosen. 
1. Fulfill the unexpired term ending December 31, 2028, of Mayor Pro Tem Brown.
2. Appoint a third board member with a term beginning January 1, 2026, and ending December 31, 2030.
3. Appoint an Ex-Officio to the SSLGC Board.

Councilmember Robert Westbrook has expressed an interest in serving on the SSLGC Board.
