Press release from the City of San Antonio:
February 11, 2021
SAN ANTONIO– City Council voted 10-1 to approve an agreement with TXC Texas Creative, Ltd. to develop and implement the SA Climate Ready Public Engagement & Communications Initiative using the Solid Waste Management Department's (SWMD) enterprise fund. The following statement was released in response to today's vote:
"I do not believe this project should be funded by the SWMD Enterprise Fund. Any surplus in this fund should go back in to the pockets of our neighbors in the form of rebates or less fees, not a more than $500k advertising campaign over a three-year period.
The proposal that was approved by the rest of Council today has no goals or metrics attached. Our focus right now should be on recovery from this pandemic – if we can find dollars to spend, why can we not find dollars to give back to our community in this time of need?"
