BACKGROUND
For some time, City staff has been considering the options for providing future water sources for the City. Presently, much of the City's water is provided by the Schertz Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC). The City of Schertz along with the City of Cibolo created the Cibolo Valley Local Government Corporation (CVLGC) to provide additional water as the City grows. Subsequent to its creation and acquisition of water rights leases, staff has been coordinating with SSLGC to provide the additional needed water in a more cost-effective manner. As the City explores options for potentially selling the water rights leases it holds in CVLGC, it became necessary to provide written consent and authorization to the City Attorney, the firm of DNRBSZ, as they also represent the City of Cibolo.
GOAL
Allow the firm of DNRBSZ to continue to represent the City in matters involving the sale of water rights.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Ensure government transparence and provide an adequate water supply now and in the future.
