 We're here with Councilman Roberto Trevino who just finished a very, very interesting week and it has everything to do with neighborhoods. Tell me what happened this week in terms of neighborhoods and the SA Tomorrow Comp Plan? We re-established the hard work that we had put in over the last few years to make sure that neighborhoods have their place in the comp plan. The neighborhood plan specifically, but at the heart of that is the heart and soul of our city. These plans speak to that distinct and unique, diverse nature of our city and we made sure that we re-established that. We made sure that the planning department is not going to take another step forward without the neighborhoods. This is a partnership, this is real collaboration and we're happy to see this moving forward the way it should be moving forward with the neighborhoods, not apart from them. The planning department will be holding more meetings with the neighborhoods. We've even asked the American History Architects to help facilitate maybe some discussions throughout the community as some of these plans are going to be worked out. We're going to work through them together. That's what's really happening. We have met with the planning department, we have met with the deputy city manager to make sure that this is not the will of the city, it's not the will of our neighborhoods. And as we move forward on the comprehensive plan, the comprehensive plan needs to be a plan that is created by all of us. Absolutely. So a little bit of background here, when the original SHMORO ordinance was passed, you put an amendment in that ordinance that specifically put the neighborhood back in, right? That is correct. We work really hard on doing just that. We held many meetings at our field office. We've met constantly with the planning department. We found the correct language that was clear and specific. And so our intent is to make sure that we keep that kind of language in the ComPlan. That is a very deliberate effort on our part and that the planning department truly doesn't just simply include some of the language about neighborhoods, but is collaborative and works with the neighborhoods on the planning so that we do this the way we all know it can be done. So to back up just a little bit, in the past several months, neighborhoods were being told by people in the planning department and I have video of the people in the planning department saying, no, your neighborhood plan is going to go away. And that was something that really upset people. They were not happy to see these plans that they'd spent a year, 14 months, 100, 200 different people in different neighborhoods, there's 55 different neighborhood plans on the city site, all of which have the effect of law, their ordinance. And those things, the neighbors were being told by the planning department that those were going away and that they would be reduced to about two pages, including a little SWOT analysis and a reference. And that came to your attention, I think, fully, what, about a month ago? Yeah, about a month ago. And we started taking steps to reaffirm, as I said once again. In fact, just yesterday I was meeting with the planning director, Bridget White, to again reaffirm and to talk about how we are not moving forward one step further on the comp plan without the collaboration of our neighborhoods. Again, the language is pretty clear and to say that we're not going to include them or that it's going to be sort of something that's stuck on some kind of index page or something we may look at. I don't think that that's exactly the intent of what we wanted and what we worked on over the last few years. This really matters, this process matters. And how we get there is just important as to what we get. And so we get what we get because we all work together. And so I'm really proud of the fact that the neighborhood stood up and we're going to protect that right because that's who San Antonio is. And we're not going to lose that authenticity here in San Antonio. Other cities are losing it, not San Antonio. To go back to that, the neighborhood stood up. But it's also, I mean, if you will kind of forgive me for a minute because I care so much about civic engagement. I mean, that's actually part of nowcast mission. Our non-profit mission is to promote an inclusive civic conversation. But democracy and civic engagement is about people talking to each other. And when people's voices don't get listened to, then it erodes our democracy. It erodes trust. It erodes at the heart of all this, as I mentioned, is our responsibility as a city is to the community and not the other way around. And so we need to maintain that trust. We need to maintain transparency. And we need to be very deliberate and clear about the words that we use to talk about how we move forward when the community is wanting to grow the city in a very special, authentic way. We need to pay attention to that. That is the way this city wants to grow. And we know we need to comply. We know we need to do that. But how we do it is very important, especially here in San Antonio. So I think that we're on our way, and we'll continue to keep an eye on it and we'll shepherd the process through. What we can say is we're really proud to work with the neighborhoods on this and certainly appreciate all the hard work that they've done. And also just know that that's what makes our city so special. We can't lose that. I remember now, we webcast and we have video archives of every minute of SA 2020. And one of the things that struck me throughout the SA 2020 process was that one of the things that people wanted to keep about San Antonio, that they've cherished about San Antonio, was its neighborliness. And I guess that's sort of the heart of this as well. It really is. And so as you can see, in fact, we're about to start an event where we just walk the neighborhood. This is all we're simply doing. We've changed our formula where we go and we meet and talk in an area or talk in a room. Let's go talk in the neighborhood. Let's go knock on people's doors. That's what San Antonio is all about. And I think most people who visit San Antonio from elsewhere recognize that is the uniqueness of San Antonio. We must protect that. So many cities are becoming homogenized. They look like the next city or their neighbor. And San Antonio is not that city. San Antonio is truly a fabric of diverse cultures. And that's what makes it so special. So you're right. You nailed it. It's all about our neighbors. And I love my neighbors. I can tell you that every day I go home, if I come home late, they tell me somebody drove out of the house or, hey, there's a package we got for you. We wouldn't be who we are if it wasn't for our neighbors. Last little thing, not little. You couldn't have done this by yourself. You had some support from other city council members. Absolutely. And I want to say that we're really appreciative of the council members that we're seeing, the pressures as this was started to push out. The council members like Councilman Shirley Gonzalez and Councilman Ana Sandoval were recognizing and seeing the same things we were. And so I'm very appreciative of their support. And we'll continue to build that support on city council for this effort, for making sure that neighborhoods are priority and not just an index in our catalog. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.
