At the January 6, 2026 meeting, city council approved Resolution 26-R-003 authorizing a Schertz Main Street Local Flavor Economic Development Grant for 533 Main Street for up to $2,500.00 for plumbing work. There was an issue on the January 6, 2026 City Council agenda with multiple items being assigned resolution number 26-R-003 and conflicts between the number of resolutions on the agenda, staff report and attachments. As a result, staff is rerunning the impacted agenda items, with new resolution numbers and repealing and replacing the items approved on January 6 to avoid any confusion or issues.
As noted in the prior staff report, the owner of the property at 533 Main, The Bar House, has applied for a Main Street Local Flavor Economic Development Grant for plumbing work at this property. The property has already received two Main Street Local Flavor Economic Development Grants for $37,500.00. As such, the applicant is only able to receive another $2,500.00 in grants, as there is a $40,000.00 cap. The project is estimated to cost approximately $10,000.00 and the grant matches up to 50% - except in this case it is limited to $2,500.00 due to the prior grants.
