A LETTER FROM THE COUNCILMAN

than $300 Million in federal pandemic relief funds, reduced SAWS utility rates, approved the two largest budgets in our City’s history, increased a stronger homestead exemption with greater relief for seniors and persons with disabilities, amended our City’s Unified Development Code through a communtiy amendment process, adopted the Strategic Housing Implementation Plan, continued our SA Tomorrow planning efforts, and recently completed the appointment process to fill the temporary vacancy in District 10. Many of these happen once every five or ten years (or even more rarely), but this year they happened all at once. This year was not your typical year! Students in the Eastside Content Creator Program just showcased their films after a semester studying at Alamo City Studios, UTSA announced a partnership with Alamo Colleges to offer eligible transfer students free tuition, we initiated a study for a new senior center and began renovations to both our Claude Black Field Office and our Rittiman Field Office, and we’ve tested out new methods of reaching constituents. You’ll find even more in this edition of our monthly newsletter. We are excited and optimistic for an even more exciting 2023 and we look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve. If you are ever in need of anything, even if it’s as simple as speaking to a friendly voice, our office is here for you. As always, it is the greatest privilege and honor to serve you.

Yours in service,
