SUMMARY:#SASpeakUp on the 2017 Budget
DESCRIPTION:The City of San Antonio is asking residents to provide feedback on the Fiscal Year 2017 Proposed Budget through the #SASpeakUp campaign. More than 5\,000 residents helped shaped the budget by offering their feedback earlier this year. \n“Our proposed City budget directly impacts the lives of so many families\, and now that we have shared details of it\, we want to hear from those families\,” said Mayor Ivy R. Taylor. “I urge San Antonians to make their voices heard. After all\, we are your City government and this is your money we are investing in our community.” \nResidents said they wanted more investment in infrastructure\, public safety and neighborhood services. \n“San Antonio residents play a vital role in determining our budget\, and my proposal is a reflection of their priorities\,” City Manager Sheryl Sculley said. “This year\, we’re planning for the future with the implementation of the SA Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan\, infrastructure and public safety — all without raising property taxes.” \nThere are several community-wide opportunities for San Antonio residents to participate in the budget process. Residents can share their feedback and ideas in-person at one of five upcoming Community Open House events. \n\n\n\n\nCommunity Open House Nights (Doors open at 5:30 p.m.\, Budget presentation begins at6 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\nDate \n\n\nTime \n\n\nFacility Name \n\n\nLocation \n\n\n\nAugust 22\n5:30-7:30 p.m.\nClaude Black Community Center\n2805 E.

The survey will also be available at City libraries and senior centers. Another convenient option for San Antonio residents to speak up about their budget priorities is through the hashtag #SASpeakUp. \nCity staff works with residents and City leaders to ensure the City’s budget is balanced and reflects the priorities of the community. This year’s proposed budget strikes a balance in addressing community priorities without increasing the City’s property tax rate. The proposed budget focuses on: \n\nInvesting in streets and sidewalks with more than $79 million dollars.\nEnhancing public safety and quality of life of city neighborhoods by adding 32 new police officer positions and fire safety enhancements for our firefighters.\nPromoting our world heritage site and preparing for the City’s Tricentennial Celebration.\nPreparing for the 2017 General Obligation Bond Program.\n\n  \nSan Antonio residents are asked to SpeakUp! Be a part of the process that shapes the City’s financial future and enhances the community’s quality of life. \n
