Dear Neighbors,
City Council
passed two ordinances this week that we are particularly proud of.
The first ordinance allows the City, Bexar County, and Spurs Sports
& Entertainment to begin negotiations for the purchase of
Toyota Field. Not only does this increase our chances of hosting an
MLS team here in our district, but the purchase itself directly
benefits Morgan's Wonderland. Another ordinance that passed
specified that all high rise buildings in San Antonio that
currently are without fire sprinklers have twelve years to install
a sprinkler system. We have asked that this process be completed as
early as possible. With memories of the Wedgewood fire still fresh
in our minds, I am proud that the City is pushing forward with
raising the standards for public safety.
Save the date!
December 7th is our annual District 10 Holiday Gathering. It will
be held at the Northern Hills Golf Course. We will be sponsoring
a toy drive during this time, and are accepting new, unwrapped toys
to benefit A World for Children, a 501c3 nonprofit benefiting
foster families in the San Antonio area. We've included more
information about the organization and families in this newsletter.
If you are not able to attend the Holiday Gathering but would like
to donate toys, we will accept all toy donations at our field
office every day up to the event. Please be sure to call our office
to coordinate drop offs.
As a reminder,
the Northeast Neighborhood Alliance will meet tonight, November
16th, at 7PM in the new Northeast Senior Center.
Thank you for
staying actively involved in our community and for allowing me to
represent the best district in San Antonio.
Sincerely,
Mike Gallagher
City Councilman District 10
