Dear
Neighbors,
We've seen
some residents experiencing sticker shock as they view their 2016
Bexar County Property Tax Appraisals. We want to remind you that
you have until May 31st to contest your property appraisal value.
For more information about Bexar County Appraisal District, or to
file an online appeal, visit their website at www.bcad.org, or call (210) 224-2432.
Last week, the
NEC successfully ran another clean up at the Perrin Beitel-Nacogdoches-Thousand
Oaks triangle. I was very pleased to see so many members of our
community turn out at 7:30 AM on a Monday to clean up this area.
Beautification is one of the NEC's core goals in corridor
revitalization; we invite you to share in the NEC's goal and look
for ways to keep your community clean. If your neighborhood
organization, church, or school would like help coordinating a
clean-up event in your area, please let us know.
There are two
surveys needing your input. The SA Speak Up! Survey allows you to
voice your opinion on what city programs and services matter most
to you, and how you would like to see funding distributed for
Fiscal Year 2017. To take this survey, visit www.saspeakup.com.
The City's
Rideshare survey wants your opinion on ridesharing companies
operating here in San Antonio. As you may remember, companies like
Uber and Lyft are operating under a pilot program here in San Antonio.
Under this program, drivers can opt in to performing a 10-print
background check for additional security. Users of Lyft and Uber
see which drivers have performed this security measure, and have
the opportunity to choose a driver who has passed the additional
background check. After last weekend's vote in Austin, it is
important to know where San Antonio residents stand. To take this
survey, click here.
Early voting
for May's runoff primary election is May 16th through May 20th. We
encourage all of you to review the sample ballot for your area to
see if a runoff election affects you. To view your sample ballot,
visit the Bexar County Elections website. As a
reminder, during early voting, you can vote at any early voting
polling location. On Election Day, May 24th, you must visit your
assigned polling site.
Thank you for
staying actively involved in our community and for your strong
support of District 10.
Sincerely,
Mike Gallagher
City Councilman
District 10

City
Seeks Applicants for Alternates on the Zoning Board of Adjustment
The City of San Antonio is seeking
applicants to serve as alternates on the Zoning Board of Adjustment
(BOA). This board hears and decides appeals where - it is alleged -
there is error in any order, requirement, decision or determination
made by an administrative official in the enforcement of the Unified
Development Code (UDC), Chapter 35 of the San Antonio, Texas Code of
Ordinances.
The board may also authorize
variances from the provisions of the UDC, where evidence presented
supports findings that literal enforcement would result in an
unnecessary hardship, and the spirit of the ordinance will be
observed. The board functions as a quasi-judicial board and its
members are prohibited from discussions about pending cases outside
of the formal meeting. The Board requires a quorum of at least nine
to convene.
Meetings are generally held on the
first and third Mondays at 1 p.m. and typically last three
hours. Members are compensated $20 for each seated meeting.
For additional information, call the City of San Antonio
Board of Adjustment staff at (210) 207-8208 or (210) 207-7720.

All
that's required is a room in your home. And room in your heart...
Last year, The Children's Shelter
was unable to place 2,700
children in their foster care program because of a shortage of
licensed foster care homes in Bexar County. Learn how The Children's
Shelter will guide you through each step of the licensing process and
child placement. The agency works to ensure that both foster family
and child are a successful match by offering trauma-informed care
practices and trainings.
