Recall in Limbo
Between three councilmen tabling agenda items and leaving town before a scheduled special city council meeting the status of the recall Petitions are in Limbo.
Windcrest has failed to record several council meetings. A Windcrest resident on Next_Door, asked how come Bexar County Water District has streamed and Recorded their last 4 meetings, yet the City using the same equipment can not.
Granicus has the current contract to provide streaming video of council meetings. Granicus has not solved the problem, so maybe it's time to find another contractor for this service. Other cities in the area stream their meetings without a hitch. Evidently these cities are not Granicus customers.
The three recall subjects all voted to have 1 council meeting a month. Not one mentioned reducing their monthly stipend by 1/2. Several years ago council raised the stipend to $120 per month because they were having several meetings a month. One Citizen to be Heard mentioned council should reduce their stipend. What do you think?
The Street Bond is NOT needed according to one citizen. The citizen recommended council reduce the 1/4 of 1 percent that WEDC receives to 1/8 percent. Placing the other 1/8 percent into the street fund. The same could be said for WCCPD. Both the WEDC and WCCPD received over $575,000 per year. Both could operate quite well with half that amount. This reduction would generate 1/2 Million a year for the street fund. Problem solved without a Bond.
