The City Attorney is hired directly by the council....and is a donor to the mayor's (little m) birthday party. Do you really think he has any interest in the law? If so, y'all may be just as naive a Debbie "Save Floresville" thinks you are.

When in doubt, follow the money. It's not complicated

I dont think he knows his job he is hand picked to just go along with whatever king Danny wants. If he stirs the pot and does his job, he won't have a job. It's obvious this guy is incompetent.

Why can't the city attorney get these facts??

Is it not his job? Instead he is allowing this dog and pony show to hang themselves.

The council clearly is acting illegally. A regular citizen can figure that out.
Why can't a paid city employee (city attorney) figure it out??
He is in place to protect the citizens - and keep the city council within legal limits.

City of Floresville, Mayor and City Council Members

Floresville Economic Development Corporation, Board of Directors

SUBJECT: Intralocal Agreement with the City of Floresville as published in the Legals/Public Notices of the San Antonio Express News and Wilson County News

Mayor, Council Members and Board Members:

At the April 26, 2012 Regular City Council Meeting, Mr. Bill Avila, Bond Council, along with Mayor Daniel M. Tejada stated that voter approval of a Sport’s Venue occurred with in the election of May 1996

Based upon review of the Proposition that was on the May 4, 1996 Ballot, the Resolution by the Floresville City Council, and the guidance published by the Office the Attorney General in the Economic Development Handbook – 2008, the presumption that the voters approved the funding of a Sports Venue when they approved the adoption of an economic development sales tax by Mr. Avila and Mayor Tejada is, in fact, incorrect!

The Economic Development Handbook – 2008, on page 48 states: “Before the 79th Legislative Session, the initial authorization of the Section 4B tax would be considered by the voters as a separate ballot proposition. Similarly, any sports venue project must be considered by the voters as a separate ballot proposition.” The 79th Legislative Session concluded in July of 2005, 9 years and 2 months after the citizens of Floresville approved the adoption of an economic development sales tax.

This publication from the Attorney General further states “However, with the passage of House Bill 3195, it would seem that authorizing the Section 4B tax and the consideration of several sports venue projects can be considered by the voters in a combine ballot proposition”. House Bill 3195 has an effective date of September 1, 2007, 11 years and 4 months after the citizens of the Floresville approved the adoption of an economic development sales tax.

The proposed intralocal agreement with the City of Floresville, as published in the Legals/Public Notices of the San Antonio Express News and Wilson County News is in Violation of the Development Corporation Act of 1979 and therefore should be suspended until such time as voter approval for this “project” can be obtained.

Sincerely,

Jim Miller
Business Owner and Taxpayer

CC. Russell Wilson, Wilson County Attorney
René Peña, 81st District Attorney
Gregg Abbott, Texas Attorney General

It's funny how the M&S engineer stressed how important addressing the waste water facility problem during his first briefing to the citizens and council. Now he gets up there and says oh it's not that big a deal, your good till 2022. His opening slides talks about how we don't have enough parks. Just goes to show what bribery and money can do to sway someone. Wish we could hire our own firm to do the checks and research to give us the 2nd opinion. Bottom line is only an idiot would put building a sports complex above city infrastructure and bringing businesses to our community. King Danny knows his time is short and be wants us all to remember his name here. We will remember you Danny for the arrogant, idiotic choices you made trying to bring this city down. Danny will be long gone living elsewhere when the taxes start going up to pay for his idiotic mistakes.

Redemption of character - is how I see Councilman Guerrero.
I have watched him throughout his time on the council. I could not figure out how he could stomach being a part of such blatant disregard for the citizens outcry.
... Turns out - he could not.
Thank-you Councilman Guerrero for the huge amount of courage it took to take your power back - and speak from what you know is right and wrong.
Just for the record - I have watched them all - their body lanuage - what and how they speak. Some are just there to be puppets - they like the prestige of being on the counsel. Some like the power. I would imagine some get special favors.
I did not see that in Mr. Guerrero. Ever .. And Mr. Guerrero - I am sure you got plenty of grief and you will be shunned by the others. This will pass - and you will have your soul in tact. ... My Guerrero, you have gain the respect of the community and more importantly, your self - respect.

It is painful enough living here when you have to deal with the mayor and his band of nut council members who try shoving everything they want down your throats. Thanks Mr Guerrero for finally stepping up, I think a few more of you members need to look in the mirror and remind yourselves who voted you in and what you said you would stand for and against.
