The
District 10 Candidate Forum sponsored by the Northeast Neighborhood
Alliance was almost two weeks ago, and since then several other
neighborhoods in District 10 have been hosting their own forums. I
encourage you all to reach out to your neighborhood association and
ask if a forum with the candidates is planned. This is a tremendous
opportunity to ask questions, listen to platforms, and meet those
campaigning to be your representative.
If you are interested in a
listing of the District 10, Mayoral, or other districts' candidates,
please visit http://www.sanantonio.gov/candidate-listing. Next month
on Monday, April 17th, the Northeast Neighborhood Alliance
will be hosting a Mayoral Candidate Forum. It will be at the Tool
Yard again at 6:30 PM. Please do your best to join us. This can be a
crucial step in determining which candidate you wish to support on
May 6th.
Last newsletter, I mentioned our
Residential Short-Term Rental policy was heading to Governance
committee. This initiative will continue through the committee
process, and we are working to schedule even more public meetings to
obtain feedback. We have had two major stakeholder meetings to
discuss hopes and concerns for this project, the future of short-term
rental businesses, like AirBNB, and how we can protect the industry,
our City, and most importantly the neighborhoods. We always want to
hear from our constituents on policy initiatives, so if you have some
information or a recommendation, feels free to call or send an email
to district10@sanantonio.gov.
I want to extend my gratitude to
the communities and folks who have worked and continue to do so,
helping their neighborhoods recover from the February tornadoes.
District 10 was hit hard, but we are truly lucky to live in a place
where people rally together to support each other. The City of San
Antonio did a tremendous job in the aftermath, and special thanks
goes out to our Parks and Recreation Department for their Tree
Recovery Initiative. I loved seeing the crowds of people out to retrieve
their replacement trees! If you were unable to attend one of the
on-site events, please contact Parks at 207-8480 for additional
information. Keep up the good work, folks.
In other news, we have hired a
new full-time person to be our lead with constituent services and
neighborhood engagement. Please join me in welcoming Landry Stafford
to our team. She is a District 10 resident and Trinity University
graduate-a great combination! We are excited to have her on board.
Activities across the City will only
continue to ramp up over the coming months. Please be safe and smart
when participating in these great festivities, especially next
month's Fiesta. And as always, we are so proud of our District's
continued commitment to starting and maintaining strong
neighborhoods. It is because of you that District 10 remains the best
place to live, work, and play.
Thank
you for staying actively involved in our community and for your
strong support of District 10.
