March 13, 2018
Howdy Neighbors,
The Northeast Neighborhood Alliance will be meeting next
Monday, March 19th at the Tool Yard (10303 Tool Yard) at 7 PM.
Primary Election runoff candidates
will be introduced on Monday. As many of you know, Former
Councilman Mike Gallagher runs a tight ship, so I recommend arriving
early if you'd like to meet with election runoff candidates. This
meeting will serve as a public meeting to discuss the proposed road
closure at Old O'Connor Road and Lookout Road. A flyer with more
details on the proposed closure can be found below. Also on the
agenda for the evening: an update from Spurs Sports and Entertainment
and an update from our office in regards to the District.
We'll be revealing our 2018 Fiesta medal soon, so keep an eye
out for our reveal on our Facebook, Twitter,
and Instagram
accounts. Be sure to mark your calendars for April 10th! We'll be
bringing all of our favorite aspects of Fiesta (free food,
entertainment, and medals) and information from SA MetroHealth,
TCI, SASpeakUp, SAPD, SAFD, SAWS, and CPS to District 10. Time and
location information can be found on a flyer below.
As always, thank you for being active community members and
leaders here in District 10, and do not hesitate to contact our
office if we can be of any assistance to you.
- Clayton

Open Surveys
District 10 Surveys
Here in
District 10, we're already looking "down the road" for
repairs and upgrades. We've been hard at work reviewing and tweaking
the 2018 street repair schedule, but we are always on the lookout for
the big projects that can truly transform District 10. We've started
a running list of future bond projects for consideration, but we need
your help in guiding us to what District 10 needs most. Please help
us determine what your priorities are for the future 2022- 2027 Bond
by completing this survey. It's not too early for us to
start this process at our level.
We'd
like to gauge our neighbors on their desire for a homestead tax exemption,
for them to assign a monetary value to what they consider relief, and
what services they are OK with being reduced in the City Budget in
order to receive a homestead exemption. If a resident is not willing
to cut services in order to receive a tax break, that's valuable
information. If a resident considers an extra $100 in tax reduction a
real relief, that's also valuable information. The results of this
survey will help guide our office as we push forward with tax relief
options for our residents. Please participate in our survey, here.
Citywide Surveys
SA Climate
Ready is a City initiative aiming to improve the quality of life of
all residents of San Antonio and make the city and its people better
prepared to face expected changes in climate. This initiative will explore
both mitigation strategies, aiming to reduce or prevent the emission
of GHGs, and adaptation strategies aiming to prepare the community,
municipal government operations, and other key sectors for the
anticipated impacts of climate change. An essential part of this process is to
engage our community to better understand the collective vision and
priorities of our citizens. This helps ensure that the Climate Action
and Adaptation Plan will serve to benefit all San Antonians. The
Office of Sustainability has created a survey focused on plan vision
and priorities. To participate in this survey, click here

Public Meeting to Discuss Proposed Road Closure
at Old O'Connor Railroad Bridge Underpass and Lookout Road
Date: Monday, March 19th
at 7 PM
Location: The Tool Yard (Northeast
Service Station) 10303 Tool Yard
Problem
Freight trucks cut across this path ignoring
warning signs, and strike the active railroad bridge overhead. Union
Pacific Railroad Company reports more than ten such strikes at this
location since 2010, all of which result in costly delays to their
operation, and any of which could result in much more serious
consequences such as train derailments.
Additionally, the underpass has become an
illegal dumping ground and an eye-sore for the community.
Longstanding drainage problems make the underpass impassable and even
dangerous during rain events.
We hope you will join us on Monday, March 19th
at the Tool Yard to discuss this issue.
If you have any questions or concerns, please
contact the District 10 Field Office at 210-207-0999.

Some of you know that I have taken a special
interest in ensuring that members of the disabled community are taken
into account by the City of San Antonio. After Harvey, I requested
the City to ensure that our emergency management plans included their
feedback and consideration. I'm so pleased that the City is paying
attention - above is the announcement of a schedule of community
meetings with the Disability Access Office and Transportation and
Capital Improvements to gather feedback on what can be improved or
implemented. I highly encourage you share this information with your
neighborhoods to ensure that everyone knows about this set of
meetings. For more information, click here.
