Schertz City Council approved the purchase of a 2.37-acre property, located at 12235 Aztec Way, during a regular meeting March 3.
The overview
A portion of the property—which is adjacent to Palm Park—is located outside the city limits in Schertz’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Deputy City Manager Brian James said the city is purchasing the property because of the complaints they have received from residents about trash, debris, illegal dumping and camp sites at the property. By owning it, city officials will be able to better maintain the area for drainage purposes and ensure it is kept free of debris, according to agenda documents.
The city will be spending $100,000 to purchase the property, plus closing costs. The acquisition will be funded through sales taxes in the city’s general fund over estimates in fiscal year 2024-25, according to agenda documents.
