Dear
Neighbors,
Tonight is
National Night Out, a night where neighbors come together in
solidarity to combat neighborhood crime. Our office will be joining
several National Night Out events in support of this movement.
Tonight, I ask that you all turn on your porch lights, say hello to
your neighbors, and do your part to keep the neighborhood safe and
friendly. Also, be sure to thank Jo Alexander by sending her a
quick note here. She graciously
stepped up to be our District 10 National Night Out coordinator
this year and has done an amazing job.
This week
marks the first round of community meetings to review the proposals
for the 2017-2022 Bond Project. I cannot stress enough that
community input matters when it comes to a bond program. For
example, a proposal was submitted for contributing funds for the
relocation of Capitol Park Little League to McAllister Park. When I
met with the Friends of McAllister Park, cycling group S.T.O.R.M.,
and other park users last week, it was clear that they did not
support a project that disrupted McAllister Park's natural trail
system. As a result, our office, the Parks Department, and TCI are
in the process of finding the little league a different place to
build their fields.
If you want to
learn more about the proposed projects for parks, streets,
drainage, facilities, or neighborhood improvements, I encourage you
to attend the various meetings and be a part of this process. These
meetings will occur until December, will all be hosted at the Central
Library downtown, and are completely open to the public. We've
included the full meeting schedule in this newsletter for your
reference.
We've included
a list of known fall neighborhood association meetings in this
newsletter. If your neighborhood would like us to advertise an
upcoming meeting, please email us at District10@sanantonio.gov and we will include the
information in our next edition.
Thank you for
staying actively involved in our community and for your strong
support of District 10.
Sincerely,
Mike Gallagher
City Councilman
District 10

Office of the City Clerk Hosts Passport Day on Saturday, Oct. 22
The City of San Antonio Office of
the City Clerk will host a Passport Day from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on
Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Municipal Archives & Records Facility,
719 S. Santa Rosa. This Passport Day provides the opportunity to
apply for or renew a passport on a Saturday.
The Office of the City Clerk offers these tips for
international travelers:
- Check
the expiration date on your current passports,as some European
countries will not accept passports within six months of their
expiration date.
- The
quickest renewal times occur between September and December,
according to the U.S. Department of State Passport Services.
- The
Passport Book costs $110 for adults and is valid for 10 years.
Passports for children 15 years old and younger cost $80 and are
valid for five years. All legal guardians must consent to the
passport and appear in person with the child during the
application process.
- For
travelers who prefer not to venture beyond Canada, Mexico, the
Caribbean or Bermuda are eligible for a passport card, which
costs $30 and allows faster border-crossing by land and sea,
although it cannot be used for international air travel.
- The
Office of the City Clerk offers passport photographs at an
additional cost and free parking at the Santa Rosa location. The
Vital Records Office, located in the same building, will also be
open during the same hours for individuals or families needing a
certified birth certificate.
If you are unable to attend
Passport Day, the Office of the City Clerk can assist individuals
applying for a passport or needing a certified birth certificate from
8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Walk-ins are always welcome.
