Dear Friends, Neighbors and Citizens,
abaxter@windcrest-tx.gov
October is here, so that means the new Fiscal Year has started. The budget will have been passed and in
effect! National Night-Out is this month, Tuesday, October 4th. This is a great time to meet our police
officers and staff, as well as your neighbors. At the end of this month is Halloween. The Fire Department is
setting up a Haunted House at City Hall in the Fire Bay. Bring the family as it is a lot of fun. There has been
tremendous support from our city’s best asset, our residents, with regards to citizens volunteering for the
different committees and commissions. We are continuing to witness the growth of TEAM WINDCREST
- both city pride and citizen participation are growing. We encourage you to remain active and involved, and
we promise that we will continue to modify, change and refine how we do business. As we all know: If we
stay the same, we cannot improve.
Fall Brush Pick-Up (Re-cap): This service for the community should be complete or very close to
completion by the time you receive this Newsletter. We hope those that needed this service were able to
take advantage of it. We are fortunate in Windcrest in that we do not have limits and that Republic Services
allows us to divide the city into Sections so we can time this service out for everyone’s convenience as close
to schedule as possible. We appreciate everyone’s patience if your pick-up was delayed. It will all be picked
up. Again, we appreciate everyone’s cooperation. It is a great service, and we have another one scheduled for
the Spring time. We will release those dates in the near future. Thank you to Republic Services!
Mayor Town Hall (Re-cap): I enjoyed meeting those that attended my Town Hall, an informal meeting
to discuss the budget. I hope those that attended found it worthwhile. I plan to have another one next year
as well. Thanks to all those that attended and thank you to the Windcrest Golf Course for providing a fun
environment. The Windcrest Golf Course is open to the public and they also have a restaurant and full bar.
I encourage everyone to go by and check out the facility, and also to try to shop and be customers of all the
businesses in Windcrest.
Trunk or Treat/Haunted House in the Fire Bay, October 31st: This is a very fun event. I encourage
everyone to attend. I especially encourage you to attend the Haunted House in the Fire Bay. Wow – the
Volunteer Firefighters started this tradition several years ago. It has been a huge success. Please thank these
brave Firefighters for all they do. They not only protect us, but they do so much for the community, especially
the children. They take time out of their day to help others. If you wish to support their efforts in any way,
please contact the new Fire Chief at 210-655-0022.
Budget Summary: For the fifth year in a row, we will see a reduction in the City’s residential property
tax rate. The tax rate was reduced approximately 7%. Note that at the time I am writing this article, the
budget has not been finalized yet, so things can change. Also note, I will be sending out a special mail piece
regarding the budget once it is passed and finalized. With regards to infrastructure and amenities, we are
systematically catching up on items that in the past were neglected. The Council decided to keep the $5

residential permit fee for most permits that this administration
initiated when I became mayor. It has proven to encourage folks to
invest in their homes and to use licensed contractors. It does not look
like the Council will be reducing your garbage bill this year. To do this
costs the city’s general fund approximately $100,000. The Council
wants to direct this money into infrastructure. Note, the Council did
vote to increase the commercial garbage fee by 20%. This increase will
not have an adverse effect on Economic Development. We still have
one of the lowest rates for commercial in Bexar County. This will
generate approximately $120,000 in new revenue for our city. This year
the money is specifically earmarked for alley repair and maintenance.
Our employees will see a raise and receive a stipend, as well as keeping
their excellent health benefits status quo. You will see approximately
$1,000,000 invested in the streets, over $250,000 in parks and over
$200,000 invested in other amenities and infrastructure. We were also
able to meet virtually every request from staff. We are still doing all of
this with cash and incurring no debt. We are virtually debt free coupled
with sales tax revenue increasing approximately 6%-7% each year! No
city in Bexar County has come close to matching our fiscal record.
Again, we have done all of this while still investing in our community,
adding assets with regards to Public Safety – Police, Fire and First
Responders, and maintaining, adding and improving our streets, parks
and common areas. By the time you receive this Newsletter, the final
budget will be passed and adopted. Please go on to the city website and
view the Budget at your leisure. If you have any questions, please call
me on my cell at 210-846-5507.
All voting is at the Takas Park Civic Center. Please come to vote.
If you are registered please come out and vote. Bring your voter
registration card, but if for some reason you do not have that readily
available, all that is required is a photo ID.
Women’s Club Presents the 2016 Windcrest Light-Up & Save the
Dates: We want to keep reminding everyone that this year’s theme
is "LET’S SAFARI!" It is time to start thinking about decorating
ideas. I have received quite a few comments on the theme and people
are excited. I believe this year’s Light-Up will be the grandest ever.
Some save the dates: December 2 Deadline to enter the Contests,
December 6 Judging, December 10 Light-Up, January 5, 2017 the
Award Ceremony at Takas Park Civic Center. Let’s make this LightUp the best ever!
Economic Development: It is an exciting time with many more
deals to close in the coming months. Here is some of the latest
exciting news. Behind the IN-N-Out Burger and Pollo Tropical there
will be a new hotel! It will be a Holiday Inn Express. Ground has
been broken. We hope to see this new hotel completed within the
next 6 months. Additionally, many businesses are leasing the light
industrial and warehouse spaces being developed on Eisenhauer
Road. This is bringing hundreds of more jobs based here in
Windcrest. The new Whataburger on the I-35 access road next
to Buffalo Wild Wings is under construction and should be open
within the next 120 days. Also, two new restaurants have committed
to Windcrest. We will be making those announcements in the very
near future. It is estimated that these new businesses will be bringing
in over $750,000 of added tax revenue to our city per year! We
are close to announcing several other deals. We will see a lot of new
amenities for our city and our residents soon. Thanks for all the hard
work of the administration and staff. Special thanks to all those on
the Windcrest Economic Development Corporation!!
Elections: Early Voting & Election Day, November 8th at Takas
Park Civic Center: There will be an election for three Windcrest City
Council Positions and two Water Board positions. It is in November at
the same time and on the same ballot as the State, County and National
races and issues. Early Voting for the polling places for WINDCREST
voting precincts 4050, 4051, 4107, 4192, and 4195 for early voting for
the November 8, 2016 election will be at the Windcrest Takas Park and

Interesting Sports News: Windcrest has always been known as
the home of some super golfers. This year, the Greater San Antonio
(GSA) Men’s Senior Championship was won by Windcrest resident
John Pierce. The GSA Super Senior Men’s Championship was also
won by a Windcrest resident – Mike Arnold. Both of these men
are highly decorated amateur players and represent Windcrest!

I love the natural setting of our
backyard. It is an oasis for all kinds
of God’s creatures. We have carefully
chosen the trees, bushes, and flowers
which encourage populations of
various insects, lizards, birds, and
occasional wildlife.
Veterans and active-duty military not in uniform can now render the
military-style hand salute during the playing of the national anthem,
thanks to changes in federal law that took effect this month.
“The military salute is a unique gesture of respect that marks those who
have served in our nation’s armed forces,” said Secretary of Veterans
Affairs Dr. James B. Peake. “This provision allows the application of
that honor in all events involving our nation’s flag.”
Fostering a balance between predators and prey, we
enjoy a mosquito free backyard. For those mosquitoes
which escape their predators, we also have a bug zapper
with ½ acre coverage.
The new provision improves upon a little known change in federal
law last year that authorized veterans to render the military-style hand
salute during the raising, lowering or passing of the flag, but it did not
address salutes during the national anthem. Last year’s provision also
applied to members of the armed forces while not in uniform.
One of the biggest predators of mosquitoes is the
dragonfly. For hundreds of years, dragonflies have
been referred to as “mosquito hawks.” They consume
mosquitoes all hours of the day, from dawn to dusk. The
National Wildlife Federation touts them as dangerous
beauties because they are voracious predators and their
appetite is bottomless!
Traditionally, members of the nation’s veterans service organizations
have rendered the hand-salute during the national anthem and at
events involving the national flag while wearing their organization’s
official head-gear. The most recent change, authorizing hand-salutes during the national
anthem by veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel, was
sponsored by Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, an Army veteran. It was
included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2009, which President
Bush signed on Oct. 14. While dragonflies are great for mosquito abatement,
they are also very colorful and interesting to watch. We
have observed colors of purple, blue, green, yellow, and
orange. They are aerial acrobats which provide quite a
show with their darting and flitting.
The earlier provision authorizing hand-salutes for veterans and out-ofuniform military personnel during the raising, lowering or passing of
the flag, was contained in the National Defense Authorization Act of
2008, which took effect Jan. 28, 2008.
I am a proud AMERICAN and a proud VETERAN. I respect and
honor the right that I have to salute our AMERICAN FLAG.
If you would like to attract some “mosquito hawks” to
your yard, check out the National Wildlife Federation’s
website. (www.nwf.org)

Matt Vandenberg

Last month during one of our budget meetings I had mentioned that
we should purchase a New Van for Animal Control. A Van that has AC
front and in the rear. I hope that this will happen. Recently questions have arisen about the continued viability of a
Volunteer Fire Department in Windcrest. While some have suggested
that it is improper to raise this issue, I disagree. We always owe it to
residents to explore all possibilities to ensure their continued safety.
However, the manner in which we discuss important issues facing
the city says a lot about us as a community. Do we present sincere
questions, consider alternatives, acknowledge positives and negatives
and invite a broad discussion? Or, do we criticize and demean in hopes
that we can make something look so unattractive that any alternative
will seem more appealing no matter the cost? The former of these
options is what democracy is designed to foster. The latter leads to
undesirable legislative outcomes.
I welcome an open discussion about the future of firefighting in
Windcrest, but only if the discussion is founded upon respect for those
who literally put their lives on the line to protect people and property
within our fair city. While we need to make whatever decision is best
for the community, I fully expect that thoughtful consideration of the
feasible alternatives will demonstrate that a volunteer fire department
is a safe and economically sound course for Windcrest for the years
ahead and that a change is needed not in the nature of the department,
but rather in the form of increased support that we as a community
provide to it.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Our animals are helpless and they depend on us to take care of them.
Thank you.

I am pleased to bring to Windcrest
an opportunity to dispose of your
prescription or over the counter
drugs……National Prescription
Drug Take-Back Day! Because of
a question from resident Claudia
Hill, I did some investigating and
found this program offered by the DEA. A great way to dispose of those
drugs that are no longer needed or have expired. Please come by City
Hall to drop off your drugs. You can bring them in their containers
(please remove your prescription label) or you can dump all in one
container. Please nothing with needles or sharpies.

It has been a busy month for the City of Windcrest EDC! A
ribbon cutting was held in September for our newest business
Halfen USA. This construction technology leader recently
opened its doors at 4965 Eisenhauer Road, and we are excited
for its future here in Windcrest! Below is a picture from the
ribbon cutting on September 7th. As far as other construction
news goes, the City’s second Whataburger is moving along on
schedule. Ground has also been broken for the Holiday Inn
Express located behind Pollo Tropical. These will both be great
additions to the City of Windcrest’s already successful business
district!
Founded in 1976, the
Windcrest Citizens Patrol
will be celebrating its
historic 40th anniversary of
service to the community.
The organization would
like to create a roster of
past volunteers along with
their present addresses and phone numbers. We appreciate the
time and talent they dedicated to the organization and to the
community as well as the commitment they evidenced by their
participation. To help create this roster, please call one of the
WCP Team Captains named on the back page of the newsletter.
The list will help us plan for the October 20th social event

With recent rains and mild weather, it remains important to
continue monitoring for stagnant water that may help breed
mosquitos in and around your area. The City has taken a
proactive approach, however your efforts will help tremendously
in battling these pests.
This month our Windcrest CERT Team would like for you
to look into the following website. It is full of important
information to help you prepare for disaster. You don’t want
to wait till a disaster happens or slip into the mindset that it
will never happen to you. Take time to “Be Prepared.” Make it
a family Project!
Alley repairs will start very soon. Our new budget has kicked in
and the crew will be concentrating on these repairs. We already
have a list of alleys that need this service. We will be there shortly.

We continue to work on our streets. From fixing pot holes to

helps with work productivity and safety of the crew. Many
thanks.

advantage of the brush pickup last
month, making sure you trimmed
your low hanging branches
over the roadway, alley and/or
street signs. If your branches
are lower than 13 feet 6 inches,
please measure and trim them
accordingly. The Fire Department
will be happy to know their trucks can pass through our streets
safely as well as eliminating a traffic hazard for motorists. Plenty
of rain has fallen this season; your efforts in keeping up with your
lawn care are appreciated. Some contractors have been found to
be working without permits; ask the contractor for their permit
before starting work on your property. If the contractor says
they don’t need one, ask us! Contractor signs can only be posted
when they are physically working on your property. Whenever
the contractor goes home so does the sign and when they return
to work their sign can go back up.
Political season is here! If you are placing signs on private
properties, please get permission from the property owner
before placing a sign on their property. For guidance on what
size is allowed as well as where and when they can be posted,
refer to the city ordinance in Chapter 109.
If you require any assistance or want to report a violation of the
Windcrest City Code, please contact the Code Compliance &
Enforcement Unit by calling the Windcrest Police Department
Dispatcher at 210-655-2666 or you can send an email through
the link provided on the Code Enforcement site.

WINDCREST ANIMAL CARE

2016 Light Up Reminder
“twas the night before Christmas and all thru Windcrest
not a creature was stirring not even a mouse with me
in my Pith Helmet and Ma in her Safari Jacket"
Officers A. Fuentes and M. Gonzales
Believe it or not, cooler weather will be
here soon and when the temperature
drops, remember that pets, just like
humans, want to feel warm at all times.
It is the responsibility of pet owners to
make sure that pets do not suffer the
effects of the cold weather.
Well, it’s time to start really talking about what
Windcrest is famous for: Windcrest Light-Up
“Let’s Safari” -- sound strange, weird or bizarre???
Over the last 50+ years we’ve done bells, music, color,
sounds, traditional and patriotic. All those you ask? Trust me,
I’ll share our old lists with you. (Yes, we save everything)
Some things that may affect your dog's ability to tolerate the cold
include coat density, age, size, and health status.
So back to this year. I heard that Santa will be wearing a
pith helmet and his sleigh will be pulled by tiny zebras. The
Manger will be covered in mosquito netting and surrounded
by elephants, giraffes and lions with music from “Out of
Africa” playing in the background.
A good rule of thumb to follow is; if it's too cold for you, it's too cold
for your pet. So if you have an outdoor pet, keep them indoors during
extreme temperatures. Some additional tips to protect your pet in
cooler weather:
•Limit your pet's exposure to the outdoors
Elves will be gathered around an outdoor campfire with safari
boots in a row...
•Take shorter walks
So, Yes Virginia! There is a Santa and yes he can look different
this time.
•Consider using pet sweaters, jackets and paw covers
•Dry off their fur and paws after coming indoors
•Extra calories may also help to reduce heat loss but always consult
with your veterinarian before adding extra calories to your pet's diet.
Let’s get out to our workshops and make this funnnnn!!!
