September 19, 2017
Howdy Neighbors,
Last week Council voted to approve the FY 2018 Budget. This
year's budget reflects the hard work of City staff and my fellow
council members in ensuring that our City's needs are being met. I am
so grateful to all of the organizations and community members who
took the time to attend the City's Budget Open Houses and those who
contacted my office to address their budget concerns. Though I
was unsuccessful in getting a property tax rollback or a City
homestead exemption, I believe the conversation needs to continue
about tangible property tax relief for San Antonio residents.
There are many wins for District 10 in the FY 2018 budget. In
addition to the $5.5 million that District 10 was slated to receive
in road repairs, we were awarded $8.1 million. Our roads were among
the worst in the City. This additional funding allows for vast
improvement over the next two years. The budget also includes
$500,000 for the Northeast Corridor Improvement Partnership, a
program that previously received $100,000. Additionally, I have
secured funding to correct the troublesome intersection of Randolph
and Weidner.
It was announced yesterday that TCI identified funding for a
dedicated pedestrian sidewalk along the east side of Judson Road. The
recent addition of IDEA Judson and several apartment buildings in
this area made the need for sidewalks more prevalent than ever. This
sidewalk will be erected on Judson Road from Sam's Club to
Independence. We will keep you all updated as construction begins.
Earlier
this month, Council offices around the city collected
donations for the victims of Hurricane Harvey. We were
absolutely overwhelmed by the compassion of our neighbors. The
outpouring of support from our neighbors was incredible to witness
and we thank you from the bottom of our heart. The SA Food Bank
created a video
to thank all of you and your efforts to help those in need.
We are a few weeks away from National Night Out. If your
neighborhood has not yet registered a NNO party, we've included the
registration information in this newsletter. If you would like our
office to attend your party, please send your request in advance to District10@sanantonio.gov. Thank
you to all of the neighborhoods that have requested our office's
attendance this far. We have received requests from the following
neighborhoods: Forest Oak, Northern Hills, Oak Park Northwood,
Friends of Comanche Lookout, Hills of Park North, Valencia, Summit at
Bulverde Creek, Longs Creek, Royal Ridge, British Commons, and Cedar
Grove. If
you have previously requested our attendance but do not see your
neighborhood listed, please contact us as soon as possible. We
aim to attend as many gatherings as we can.
As always, thank you for being active community members and
leaders here in District 10.
- Clayton

Meet Our Staff
 My name is Landry Stafford and
I am the Communications and Special Events Director for Councilman
Perry.
I was born in Houston, TX, but moved to
Clarksville, TN with my family as a kindergartner. There, I went
through the public education system for elementary, middle, and high
school. Though Tennessee will always be home, Texas was calling me
back. The summer before my senior year, I toured over 25 Texas
universities and set my sights on Trinity University.
I was accepted to Trinity University and made
the move to San Antonio. I entered my freshman year in August 2012.
While I was there, I discovered my love of Marketing and an interest
in History. I graduated in December 2016 with a degree in Business
Administration with a concentration in Marketing.
After graduation, I was fortunate to begin
working in the District 10 Field Office with Councilman Mike
Gallagher as his Constituent Services Officer. Through my work in the
District 10 Field Office, I have learned so much about inner workings
of the City. After this year's election, I was honored to be asked to
stay on in a new role with Councilman Perry. There is still so much
left for me to learn, and I truly look forward to continuing my
career here.
I am a former resident of Monticello Park in
District 7, and I currently reside in the Oak Park Northwood
neighborhood in District 10. San Antonio is a compassionate and
neighborly city, and I feel that District 10 embodies those qualities
completely.

Iota
from Nacodoches to the Cul De Sac
Transportation & Capital Improvement's contractor J&P Paving Co. is
scheduled to begin on 09/22/2017
and is estimated to be complete by 10/22/2017.We
sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation while these
improvements are in progress. We will work diligently to restore the
street to full operational status as soon as possible. While
improvements are underway, here is some helpful information about the
improvement project to assist you:
- Vehicles should not
be parked on the street from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If vehicles
are parked along the path of construction improvements and no
one is available to move it, it will be towed to one of the
following streets in your area:
- The street will
have limited access to vehicular traffic. Traffic detour
barricades and signs will be provided to guide traffic through
the construction as needed.
- If your street is
completely closed, no traffic will be permitted into the
barricaded area.
- In the event of
adverse weather, environmental conditions, unforeseen equipment
issues, or schedule conflicts, improvements on your street will
likely be rescheduled as soon as conditions permit.
If you have
question about this project, please contact:
