Windcrest Candidates for 2019

 Dan Reese, current Mayor is running for re-election.  During Dan's first year at the helm he had Gerd Jacobi constantly trying to derail everything.  Jacobi motioned to TABLE important agenda items.  Of course the three amigos stuck together so the block voted to approve Jacobi's motions.

 Jacobi, Shelton, McFall.  They took turns like a three many tag team, making hindering motions, quickly 2nd by the team, then voted 3-2 to pass the motions. Voters took notice and ran Jacobi off council. 

 Now the multi million dollar bond recently approved is being spend, Jacobi and Baxter want back into the action.  These same tag team plus Baxter were involved in the so called $145.000 EDC loan to the City. 

Windcrest need to keep moving forward.  No re-runs of motions to Table, No re-runs of employees being cursed and berated by the Potty Mouth comments that ex Mayor Baxter is so found of providing.   So after being Recorded (the recording is all over the web) Baxter and the three clowns set about to make it illegal for an employee to record conversations.

Baxter's recent sudden unexpected departure from his job at a local university maybe related to his mode of communication.  No fear, he has surfaced in Kerrville with another job.   

Windcrest citizens would do well to leave Baxter in Kerrville.  His leadership style is not something Windcrest needs nor deserves. 

He still has the three amigos doing his leg work placing signs anywhere they can. 

Gerd "Jake" Jacobi has been on council before.  He always went by 'Jake', but now he had dropped that name.  Probably in an effort to improve his very tarnished image.  Gerd "Jake' Jacobi will forever be know for his errotic behavior making senseless motions, like to Table agenda items, because he wants to discuss the next item.

Alan Baxter has Filed for Mayor!

  This guy has absolutely No Moral Character at all.  His foul mouth tirade with a past fire chief really showed his true Character, now he wants the citizens to forget and forgive. 

  Not only has he filed for Mayor for the 2019 Windcrest elections, he was just hired at Schreiner University which is some 75 miles from Windcrest.  He was the head golf coach of Our Lady of the Lakes here in San Antonio until this summer when he was quietly released only to surface some 75 miles away at Schreiner University.
  It makes one wonder what address did he provide this university?  He is even eligible to run for Windcrest Elections because he does NOT live here?   Yes, he owns a home here which is rented and he has used his mother's address for years on many documents.
  Even one of his co harts on council, Gerd -Jake- Jacobi has filed for council.  Jake is like to motion to table things on agendas to cut the run from under the current Mayor.  Windcrest citizens voted Jake "Out" during the last election.  So why has he filed again?  Jake has a serious character flaw, one that Windcrest does not need nor deserve.
  This makes one wonder if McFall and Shelton will also file for Windcrest Council before the deadline to file.  Stay tuned for that action.
  Jacobi, McFall and Shelton are three responsible for the .08/1000 tax increase this year.  Windcrest needs to keep the current council. This council is trying to clean up the mess created by Baxter and his 3 amigos, but the huge mess will take a few more years to correct.

Windcrest Council Candidates

Several Windcrest City Council Candidates and Water District Board candidates have posted Election signs on the street of Windcrest. 

Today the Trio of Red White and Blue signs were given 24 hours to get their signs in compliance with the Secretary of State laws.

  The Windcrest Finance Director mentioned during a recent council meeting that the Loan from EDC had been on the books for several years.

 Check the budgets.  There is a line item within the Economic Development section under line item 13-2315  Due to Gen Fund   $145,000.  There is NO mention of a LOAN.  There is not a corresponding entry in the General Fund of as $145,000 being due from EDC.

 During the EDC board meeting no one admitted knowing anything about a Loan or anything about $145,000 being owed to the city in any form.

 Citizens and City Council Candidates need to read the budget carefully.  As is often said the Devil in in the Details.

Meanwhile the facts indicate this was/is a SECRET LOAN.   The budget should indicate a loan instead of simply saying due from..  Strange.

City Secretary Spewing Lies yet Again

  Remember Jim Shelton motioned to remove 3 members of the Board of Adjustments.  McFall seconded the motion, then Shelton, McFall and Jacobi passed the motion to remove 3 members from the Board of Adjustments.  The only problem, this was ILLEGAL.  According to Windcrest Code there must be written charges and a hearing prior to removal.

  The next council meeting there was an agenda item to correct this.  In steps the famous, City Secretary, claiming those three Board of Adjustments Terms has expired.

News Flash, All three were re-appointed in Jan 2017 for two years.  The City Secretary lied yet again to save the 3 clowns from having to admit their mistake.  The video link below has Shelton's motion, a citizens telling them it was illegal and the council meeting where the same three clowns voted to re-appoint Ms. Dixon.

WEDC By-Laws

. WEDC had "By-Laws" on the agenda several times last fall.  Each time the item was tabled.  Then Tim Maloney left and Sue Alexander took over as president.
  By-Laws have not been back on the agenda since.  Why are the By-Laws not posted?  They were approved by city council along with the Articles of Incorporation, so where are the By-Laws?

 Do the By-Laws conflict with the current mode of operation?

Windcrest 7-11 Bond

Windcrest- Vote NO in Nov Street Bond- That bond will cost $4 Million in interest. Bad.  Below is from another blog:

 The 7-11 Bond is terrible.  Borrow $7.3 Million for 20 years totals $11 Million.

All Windcrest voters should vote NO to the two Bonds.  $7.4 Mil for Streets, which will ONLY repair 7 Streets.  OK, exactly what does Street Repair entail?  The projected cost involves three different types of repairs.
8" Mill/Overlay @ $89.40 per Sq Yard  (engineers says normal depth 2-10")
3" Mill/Overlay @ $27.62 per Sq Yard
Slurry Seal         @ $27,62 per Sq Yard   (All streets were had this in 2006)

Below are the 7 streets identified in the report with the projected cost of $7.4 Million, that will cost , $11 Million, over 20 Years.  Note: some streets get portions of each type of repair.

Balfour            8" Mill/Overlay, 3" Mill/Overlay and Slurry Seal.
Crestway         3" Mill/Overlay
Eagle Crest     8" Mill/Overlay
Fenwick          8" Mill/Overlay,   3" Mill/Overlay, Slurry Seal,
Midcrown       8" Mill/Overlay    3" Mill/Overlay
Windsor Hill   3" Mill/Overlay and Slurry Seal

When you think of Street Bond to repair streets one thinks of a total repair.  NOT the case here.  The 7 streets proposed for repair include, 6" overlay, 3" overlay and "Slurry Seal."  Read the engineers report carefully, the report indicates the repair to Midcrown alone could use the entire 7.4 Million, depending on what damage the contractor finds has occurred to the road base.  The engineer has indicated removing 8", but also says damage below that depth shall be repaired.
  The Engineer states the normal removal is from 2" to 10", yet his estimates is for 8".  What will be the cost of the additional "2"?  No indication in the report.

 The Fire Department $2 Million Bond was pure guess work, no documentation at all.  This $2 Million is 15 years and will total $2.8 Million.  Council discussion on Sept 5th indicated they could use some of this $2 million to fund a full time Fire Assistant.  In other words, they have already decided this bond is NOT just for a Fire Truck and Equipment, it includes staff.

  This council (three outgoing) have NOT allowed the Volunteer Fire Association to Fund raise this year at all.  No picnic this year, no Donations collected this year at all.  None.  These three are not concerned with the safety of Windcrest citizens, they want you in debt.  Vote NO to both bonds, Windcrest can trim the budget fat and do street repairs.
