Howdy Neighbors,
Last night, we hosted the District 10 Community Meeting at the
Tool Yard. It was awesome to see you all come and engage with our
presenters. We look forward to seeing more of you in the future.
Special thanks to CPS representative Priscilla Robledo, Bitterblue
and Laddie Denton for their presentation on the Longhorn Quarry
improvements, 311 Senior Manager Paula Stallcup, Centro San Antonio,
their President and CEO, Pat DiGiovanni, their Government Affairs
Director, Rachel Brehm, the City of San Antonio City Assistant City
Manager, Lori Houston, and SAWS Senior Vice President/CFO, Doug
Evanson for his presentation on the proposed SAWS rate increase.
There were several questions last night regarding the proposed SAWS
rate increase, and I want to assure you that I will be taking your
questions with me to B Session tomorrow.
SAWS will be hosting a meeting on October 24th about the
proposed rate increases at SAWS headquarters. We have included their
flyer in this newsletter for your reference.
If you'd like to watch B Session or City Council Meetings you
can tune in to TVSA here. TVSA is also available on
Spectrum Cable digital channel 21/99, Grande channel 20, and Uverse
channel 99. City Council B-session
is broadcast live Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m (rebroadcast Saturday and
Sunday at 11 a.m.); City Council A-Session meetings are
broadcast live Thursdays at 9:00 a.m.
We'd like to to
thank our District 10 Boards and Commissions members for joining us
early Saturday morning. We heard updates from our re-appointed members
and welcomed the new members into the District 10 fold. We'd also
like to thank our neighbors who came out to our first "Coffee
with Clayton" event Saturday at St. Andrews United Methodist
Church. We really enjoyed meeting with everyone and look forward to
planning the next event in another District 10 neighborhood.
Businesses along the Northeast Corridor of Perrin Beitel and
Nacogdoches will be receiving a flyer in the mail for the NEC Grant
Program in the coming weeks. We have expanded the capacity of the
grant program by both increasing the NEC budget from $100,000 to
$500,000, and increased cost matching to a 2:1 ratio, up to $50,000.
For every dollar a business spends improving their store facade,
landscaping, or signage, the City will match it with two dollars.
We've also expanded the allowable projects to include parking lots.
If there's a business along the NEC you would like to see improved,
let us know and we invite them to learn more about the grant program.
For more information about the NEC, click the "NEC" button
below to be taken to the website.
There are seven proposed constitutional amendments that will
appear on the November 7th, 2017 ballot. Explanations of each
proposition can be found by clicking here.
As always, thank you for being active community members and
leaders here in District 10.
