Colunga creates 'Noise" for Springbrook Investors

  Walt Busby, project developer for the Springbrook Senior Development Project introduced Mr. Robert Colunga as his assistant for this project during his Windcrest City Council Presentation on January 22. 2018. During that meeting Mr. Busby informed Windcrest City Council the Investors on this project were jittery over the 'noise' created by a recent recall petition. Mr. Busby said the Investors were not going to move forward until they had council's support and things were quiet.

  Fast forward to June,  Robert Colunga files a law suit against the Mayor and a council person.  

An ex-council person drafts 3 recall petitions.  Two councilman send their wives out to collect signatures for the three recall petitions.   Those wives use the law suit to entice citizens to sign the recall petitions.  

  Mr. Robert Colunga faces felony charges in 2016 which needed his full attention so he left Windcrest employment.  (see news article below).  

  Colunga claims Windcrest elected officials are responsible for him losing his consulting contract with two developers.  Mr. Colunga does not indicate which developer(s).  

  Now Colunga and two council persons are creating much "Noise" which according to Mr. Busby makes the investors jittery.

DA Nico LaHood.

More than $300,000 in homeowner association funds for a swimming pool that was never built are at the center of a criminal case filed against two men with ties to the city of Windcrest.

Bexar County District Attorney Nico LaHood said Robert Colunga and Tom Pittman were indicted by a grand jury in April on the first-degree felony charges. Although a civil lawsuit is pending in the project, LaHood said he believes a criminal case also is warranted against the two men, and possibly others, the case involving plans for a pool to be built in San Antonio’s Stone Oak area.

Colunga, 51, is the former president of the Champion Springs Homeowner Association in Stone Oak, on San Antonio’s North Side, about eight miles northwest of Windcrest, where he has been the executive director of the Windcrest Economic Development Corp. since 2013.

Pittman, 59, has worked as a consultant in Windcrest, managing projects there in recent years.
