THE NEWSLETTER FOR THE CITIZENS OF SHAVANO PARK
NOTE FROM THE MAYOR:
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
This month, City Manager Bill Hill’s Roadrunner
article updates proposed changes to NW Military
Hwy and the MPO process (which funds such
state and regional projects). Based on current and projected
traffic flow on NW Military Hwy, the proposed changes are very
important for our community, and I encourage each of us to be
attentive.
While NW Military Hwy is our most important traffic
consideration, I would like to share three additional traffic
considerations with you. They concern a light just south of NW
Military Hwy and Loop 1604, a turnaround lane on Loop 1604,
and acquisition of a portable radar speed sign.
While some citizens are under the impression that cities makes
decisions in a knee jerk fashion, I would like to assure you that
most of the positive planning for our community has involved
years of planning before the average citizen notes proposed
changes. Many of the commercial, residential and civic changes
we will see this year have been in the works for anywhere from
two to 10 years. In fact, the current planning for a proposed
light at the intersection of NW Military Hwy and Collins Circle/
Pond Hill Road started just over 10 years ago. At that time,
our city leaders recognized NW Military Hwy’s growing traffic
congestion, and they negotiated for a traffic light to protect
crossover east/west traffic off Collins Circle/Pond Hill Road.
This is an excellent example of city leaders looking forward to
reduce traffic hazards. It is also an excellent example of sound
fiscal planning – the costs of the necessary traffic study and

While we anticipate that the proposed light
will aid traffic flow for citizens and visitors
off Collins Circle/Pond Hill Road, we are also
pleased with the current commitment from
TxDOT to install turnaround lanes at Loop
1604 and NW Military Hwy. The turnaround
lanes will eliminate part of the congestion
presently at Loop 1604 approaching NW
Military Hwy. With the turnaround lanes, we
also hope that use of Lockhill-Selma Road
as an alternate thoroughfare will decrease.
This change has been under discussion with
TxDOT for a couple of years.
The final traffic change concerns the
acquisition of a portable radar speed sign.
While that seems mundane, it reminds each
of us of the importance of safe speeds on our
residential streets. We are all neighbors, and
when persons drive at unsafe speeds on any
street in our community, we place pedestrians
and other drivers at risk. If you feel your
neighborhood is experiencing above unsafe
speeds, please contact Chief David Creed so
we can monitor the situation and report back
to you.

CITY OF SHAVANO PARK
Shavano Park Residents Use
i-INFO to Stay Informed
Submitted by Police Chief David Creed
Recently, I had a resident ask me how she could
find out if something significant was happening in
Shavano Park.
The City of Shavano Park offers a method of
information sharing that includes criminal activity
alerts, utility problems or emergencies, and
general event awareness. The system is named
i-INFO. Simply subscribing to this no cost service
allows the City of Shavano Park to alert citizens to
special weather advisories and other information
of interest.
Sign up for i-INFO information sharing service by
going to the City of Shavano Park website at www.
shavanopark.org and click on the i-INFO button on
the scrolling screen at the top of the home page.
You can choose which information you wish to be
informed of and you can unsubscribe at any time.
The good part is that there is no cost to you.
The Shavano Park Police Department uses this
method to send safety alerts of criminal activity so
that citizens can remain abreast of burglary, theft
or other criminal activity information, information
that helps you remain informed and safe.
Stay safe by staying informed.
CITY OF SHAVANO PARK
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Shavano Park Fire Department is dedicated
to providing a high level of safety and emergency
services, protecting the lives and livelihoods of
the citizens and visitors of Shavano Park. As such,
the fire departments day-to-day operations are
performed with that mission in mind. On January
6th, the Texas Commission on Fire Protection
made an unannounced compliance inspection of
the Shavano Park Fire Department. This inspection
consists of a comprehensive examination of the
fire departments standard operating procedures,
training records, fire vehicles, personnel protective
equipment and much more. Upon completion of all
aspects of this inspection, the Texas Commission
on Fire Protection acknowledged Shavano Park
Fire Departments dedication to excellence by
noting zero deficiencies in all areas. Shavano
Park Fire Departments desire to exceed national
standards also extends to its Emergency Medical
Services. Last year, the Texas Department of State
Health Services for EMS compliance awarded
the fire department with a perfect score after its
unannounced inspection. These inspection results
demonstrate Shavano Park Fire Departments
commitment to excellence across all aspects of
public safety.
If you have questions regarding i-INFO, feel free
to contact Shavano Park Police at
492-9248 or City Hall at 493-3478.

YOU ASKED…
A column addressing issues and questions posed by citizens.
Submitted By: Mayor Pro Tem Michele Bunting Ross
WHY IS CITY COUNCIL REVIEWING THE FREE USE
OF THE INTERIOR OF CITY HALL FOR NON-CITY
BUSINESS AND CREATING A USE POLICY?
#1 The CITY MANAGER requested Council create a
policy as it is Council’s job to do so. No one on Council
placed the item on the agenda.
#2 The use of the inside of City Hall has been on
prior agendas multiple times in the past. Most
recently, Etta Fanning and Mary Werner were on a
sub-committee regarding this topic, followed again
by Mary Werner and Vicky Maisel but no policy was
created. Discussion was focused on:
• The fact that City Hall does not have a fire
sprinkler system.
• Spending an estimated $150,000 to retro-fit fire
safety for use.
• City Attorney offered three options – restrictive
(only use for city business), semi-restrictive
(limited use which opens the City to possible
liability), open use (anyone can use).

#3 Our attorney advised that we needed a policy. The
safest, defensible stance is to allow either no one to
use council chambers or everyone. Everyone means
non-residents and ANY group whether desirable or
not.
#4 As request, Council formed a sub-committee
to review the options. Mary Ann Hisel and I were
appointed. The sub-committee reviewed the legal
options, other city’s policies, current use and citizen
feedback.
Alderman Hisel and I AGREED on the draft that
was presented for DISCUSSION. The draft was a
combination of documents. The draft exemplifies the
most restrictive use that is legally defensible.
So the decision Council has to make is:
• Whether or not we restrict the use completely,
allow some use and hope we don't get sued if
we deny anyone or just allow everyone. You can't
legally say it should be open only to residents of
Shavano Park or a limited group without opening
the City to possible litigation.
• Whether or not the desire of some to use City Hall
for non-City business outweighs the concern of
allowing an undesirable group to use our facility.
• If non-City business groups or individuals
are allowed to use the facility, should they be
required to pay a fee for use?
Considerations:
• Liability, insurance
• General maintenance and wear and tear on
facility and furniture
• Staff time for coordination, setup, take down,
clean up, bathrooms
• Septic, safety, utilities, intrusion of events during
work hours, parking
All but one of 17 similar sized cities contacted do not
allow use of City Hall for non-City business and the
one City that allows very limited use, requires a fee
be paid.
Enjoy breakfast, fellowship, door prizes and
entertainment! Country Western attire is encouraged.
There is no legal constitutional right to use the interior
of City Hall for non-City business.

Oak Tree Trimming is over til July!
A tree trimming permit must be obtained
from the City of Shavano Park prior to the
trimming of any type of Oak tree. Oak trees
may only be trimmed during the months
of December & January and July, August &
September in an effort to prevent the spread
of oak wilt. You may trim any other species
of trees at any time without a tree trimming
permit.
If you have an emergency situation (tree
damage) caused by wind or other accident,
you may trim the damaged limb, however,
you must first obtain an emergency tree
trimming permit from the City of Shavano
Park. Please contact the permitting office at
493-3478 x200 for additional information.
Please be sure to paint the wound
immediately after cutting.
Due to scheduling constraints, brush/large
item pickup does not coincide with our
approved tree trimming months. Please do
not trim your Oaks at this time.
Please help us protect our beautiful Oak
trees.
The next “move”
is yours...
Make it a good one!
