Alan Baxter has FILED for Mayor!

  This guy has absolutely No Moral Character at all.  His foul mouth tirade with a past fire chief really showed his true Character, now he wants the citizens to forget and forgive. 
  Not only has he filed for Mayor for the 2019 Windcrest elections, he was just hired at Schreiner University which is some 75 miles from Windcrest.  He was the head golf coach of Our Lady of the Lakes here in San Antonio until this summer when he was quietly released only to surface some 75 miles away at Schreiner University.
  It makes one wonder what address did he provide this university?  He is even eligible to run for Windcrest Elections because he does NOT live here?   Yes, he owns a home here which is rented and he has used his mother's address for years on many documents.
  Even one of his co harts on council, Gerd -Jake- Jacobi has filed for council.  Jake is like to motion to table things on agendas to cut the run from under the current Mayor.  Windcrest citizens voted Jake "Out" during the last election.  So why has he filed again?  Jake has a serious character flaw, one that Windcrest does not need nor deserve. 
  This makes one wonder if McFall and Shelton will also file for Windcrest Council before the deadline to file.  Stay tuned for that action.
  Jacobi, McFall and Shelton are three responsible for the .08/1000 tax increase this year.  Windcrest needs to keep the current council. This council is trying to clean up the mess created by Baxter and his 3 amigos, but the huge mess will take a few more years to correct.

Windcrest NO to 7-11 Bond

 The 7-11 Bond is terrible.  Borrow $7.3 Million for 20 years totals $11 Million.

All Windcrest voters should vote NO to the two Bonds.  $7.4 Mil for Streets, which will ONLY repair 7 Streets.  OK, exactly what does Street Repair entail?  The projected cost involves three different types of repairs. 
8" Mill/Overlay @ $89.40 per Sq Yard  (engineers says normal depth 2-10")
3" Mill/Overlay @ $27.62 per Sq Yard
Slurry Seal         @ $27,62 per Sq Yard   (All streets were had this in 2006)

Below are the 7 streets identified in the report with the projected cost of $7.4 Million, that will cost , $11 Million, over 20 Years.  Note: some streets get portions of each type of repair.
 
Balfour            8" Mill/Overlay, 3" Mill/Overlay and Slurry Seal.
Crestway         3" Mill/Overlay
Eagle Crest     8" Mill/Overlay
Fenwick          8" Mill/Overlay,   3" Mill/Overlay, Slurry Seal,
Midcrown       8" Mill/Overlay    3" Mill/Overlay
Windsor Hill   3" Mill/Overlay and Slurry Seal

When you think of Street Bond to repair streets one thinks of a total repair.  NOT the case here.  The 7 streets proposed for repair include, 6" overlay, 3" overlay and "Slurry Seal."  Read the engineers report carefully, the report indicates the repair to Midcrown alone could use the entire 7.4 Million, depending on what damage the contractor finds has occurred to the road base.  The engineer has indicated removing 8", but also says damage below that depth shall be repaired. 
  The Engineer states the normal removal is from 2" to 10", yet his estimates is for 8".  What will be the cost of the additional "2"?  No indication in the report.

 The Fire Department $2 Million Bond was pure guess work, no documentation at all.  This $2 Million is 15 years and will total $2.8 Million.  Council discussion on Sept 5th indicated they could use some of this $2 million to fund a full time Fire Assistant.  In other words, they have already decided this bond is NOT just for a Fire Truck and Equipment, it includes staff.

  This council (three outgoing) have NOT allowed the Volunteer Fire Association to Fund raise this year at all.  No picnic this year, no Donations collected this year at all.  None.  These three are not concerned with the safety of Windcrest citizens, they want you in debt.  Vote NO to both bonds, Windcrest can trim the budget fat and do street repairs.

Windcrest Scandal Expanded

 Windcrest investigations have discovered another ruse used by the Petition committee.  Citizens were shown a hand written paper with headings of Street Repair and Economic Development issues as the reason for the Petition.  This fiacso is becoming worse by the hour.  A petition committee member posted today that the 'final review' should be done today.
  Below is the City Attorney's letter informing the Petition Committee that the petition was not in compliance.   The attorney also stated the committee may not be able to 'cure' the petitions.

Revenge-Windcrest Springbrook Incentives

  Windcrest Springbrook Senior Development request Tax incentives for 15years.  The Windcrest Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) previous executive director , Robert Colunga, stated he was contracted to receive $1 Million Dollars commission for his efforts in securing nearly $7million dollars in Tax Incentives.
  Mr. Walt Busby, the Windcrest Springbrook Senior Development spokesman for the Windcrest Springbrook Senior Development Investors introduced Mr. Robert Colunga as his assistant during a 2018 presentation to Windcrest City Council.  Just a few months later, Mr. Robert Colunga sued the City of Windcrest Mayor because he figures the Mayor caused the developers to cancel his consulting contract which should have netted him in exceeded $1 Million Dollars.   
  Recently the Windcrest Springbrook Senior Development Investors stated they no longer employ Mr. Colunga.
  Mr. Colunga says he had a contract to received 15% of incentives obtained from Windcrest, which would total over $1 Million dollars.  Mr. Colunga would have to pay his team a portion of those earnings to seal the deal. 
  Windcrest City Councilman, Gerd Jacobi, James McFall and Jim Shelton were solid supporters of Springbrook Senior Development until Mr. Colunga was terminated by Springbrook Developers.  Since that terminations these councilman concocted a 'noisy' recall petition, the very thing the Springbrook developers warned City Council that they did not like- Noise!   They like it Quiet!
  Mr. McFall stated during council meeting that Revenge was normal, bottom line.  Does this mean McFall, Jacoby and Shelton took revenge on Springbrook for discharging Robert Colunga?  After all Mr. Colunga no longer has $1 Million Dollars to split with his team.  Revenge?
