Schertz City Council is scheduled to canvass the Nov. 3 general election for Places 3, 4 and 5 on Nov. 16.

The council's planned canvass would formally declare the results for those three places. The posted agenda calls for consideration of Resolution 26-R-128; it does not record a completed council decision. Residents can inspect the scheduled action in the city's Nov. 16 agenda.

From the source record

Posted election-canvass agendaResolution 26-R-128
Council is scheduled to canvass the November 3 general election for Places 3, 4 and 5.
City of Schertz ↗
The posted Nov. 16 agenda schedules a canvass; the resolution in the packet is a draft, not a declared result.

The draft canvass resolution names two candidates each for Places 3, 4 and 5. It lists Macaluso and Langhus for Place 3, Ratcliff and Guerrero for Place 4, and Westbrook and Marquez for Place 5. Those names identify the contests covered by the proposed resolution; the draft should not be read as a declaration of winners. The proposed resolution is available with the council materials.

What happens after the canvass

The agenda also schedules oaths of office for Places 3 and 5 after the canvass. It lists comments with that ceremony. The separate agenda entries put the order of business in plain view: first the proposed declaration of election results, then the scheduled oaths. The posted material does not establish that either action has happened. A completed resolution or meeting record will be needed to report the declared totals and who took office.

The resolution draft includes columns for Bexar, Comal and Guadalupe counties. That layout shows how the proposed canvass would organize returns; it does not, by itself, define which addresses or voters fall within Schertz. Readers seeking a county-level breakdown should use the completed canvass when it is filed rather than infer totals from this draft.

How to attend and speak

The special Schertz City Council meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex, 1400 Schertz Parkway, Building 4. The agenda includes a Hearing of Residents. People who want to speak are instructed to register before the meeting, with up to three minutes allotted; the posted instructions also set a noon Monday deadline for handouts or USB materials and list 210-619-1030 for accessibility assistance. Readers can check the meeting agenda for those participation instructions before attending.

The agenda also lists a proclamation for Kenneth E. Ratcliff, along with the opening prayer, pledges and adjournment. Those entries are part of the posted meeting business; the election canvass and subsequent oaths are the scheduled decisions and ceremony that will establish the public result. The full agenda packet provides the draft resolution and the order of business.

The next record to check is the completed canvass resolution or official meeting minutes after Nov. 16. It should establish the council's actual action and the declared election returns. Until then, the city's posted resolution remains the proposal readers can inspect, not an outcome.
