Windcrest Springbrook Development in Trouble

Remember, Springbrook Senior Development Investors already warned James McFall, Jim Shelton and Gerd "Jake" Jacobi they liked it "Quiet".  The Investors will get "Spoooked" if the recall noise continues.  We don't like recalls at all Busby said.

  After Springbrook Senior Development Investors warned the Windcrest City Council, McFall, Shelton and Jacobi,  secretly recruited three, rather slow, nitwits to conjure false charges and submit 3 Recall Petitions.   To add an "intimidation factor", James McFall and Gerd Jacobi demanded their wives, Bell and Edith, canvass citizens via Golf Cart with the petitions. Bell and Edith did not take No for an answer.  Instead, they had Signature Signing Parties at the local golf course where the original petition committee, John Gretz, Ronald Armes, Michael Eyhorn and councilman and their wives ensured enough entries had signatures to reach 490 signatures.  John Gretz even stated they had an additional 50 signatures the committee did not turn in. Why not John?

    Saturday, July 27, 2018 the San Antonio Express News article reads ..Fake signatures on election-related-petitions... signatures on a recall petition in the city of Windcrest seeking to remove the mayor and two council members have been called into question and prompted a criminal investigation. Among the suspect signatures are those of a deceased couple and those of the mayor being targeted in the recall drive.

    Springbrook Senior Development Investor are surely Red in the Face now.  What part of "We Like it Quiet" did you not understand Councilman Jacobi, McFall and Shelton?

Springbrook Senior Living Project Thwarted

  Springbrook Senior Development Investors from Chicago have proposed building a Senior Living facility in Wndcrest.  Mr.Walt Busby, the developer representative for the project, told City Council during a January 22nd presentation that his investors were Jittery from the recall "Noise" occurring and they were at a stopping point.

  Councilman Gerd Jacobi and Councilman James McFall smirked  during Mr. Busby's presentation as they had their own Project in mine.  Councilman Jacobi and McFall had already devised a plan for yet another Recall Petition of two newly elected council person and the newly elected Mayor as part of their "Revenge" as McFall stated.  The two super ego's found three willing idiots to write and file three recall Petitions which read like juvenile squabbles  You need only read a few lines written by these half-wits to see the Recall Petitions have no merit. 

 Enter Robert Colunga, the assistant Walt Busby introduced during the Jan 22nd presentation.  Robert Colunga, a loyal friend of Jacobi and McFall, proceeds to file a Law Suit against the Mayor and one Councilperson.  Why he was introduced as an assistant on Jan 22 is a mystery knowing Robert Colunga's history. 

 The real objective of the Recall Petitions is to create the "noise" the Chicago Investors do not like.  This Noise will torpedo the Springbrook Senior Living Project into oblivion
 
The proof for this conclusion is, both Councilman Jacobi and Councilman McFall  dispatched their wives to collect petition signatures.  These ladies dress to impress and their transportation is a shinny new Golf Cart.  All the while the wives are out gathering signatures,  Jacobi and McFall sit grinning while discussing the Springbrook Senior Development Project from the dais.  These two councilman will to flaunt their testosterone at any costs.

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.  

LaHood alleges misuse of HOA funds for pool

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.

Bugle Crew Not Available for 911

FLASH!   Did you know, in March 2018, The Windcrest Fire Department DID NOT Respond to a 911 call?  Not excessively late, just plain DID NOT RESPOND at all.

Serious stuff folks, for sure.  1st time every so I hear.

I know your thinking middle of the night, right?  No folks, the call came in on/about 8 A.M. on a WeekDay!!

The Fire Chief told City Council, NO ONE was available!  Yet, his March report to council shows average response time 6 minutes and change.  Fuzzy math for sure. 

Now April 16 the Mayor had requested someone from the Bugle Crew attend city council to discuss their contract.  Guess What!   Another NO SHOW!  Fire Chief said they were either Working or Out of Town! (have your heard that before)

Is this what you Want?  If Not, Vote FOR on Proposition 1 and let the Bugle Crew become a permanent no show.

Thick as Thieves

Have you seen the Jan 22, 2018 council meeting video?  Of course not, it has not been posted. Seems Windcrest does NOT want Citizens to see the video!  Why Not?

View these video clips for the answer.  Citizens were threatened by the developer.  Busby is bringing his Investor to Windcrest to get the "Packages they Need."

Walt Busby had no problem trash talking about the citizens of Windcrest.  Then as a parting shot, he Introduced none other than Robert Colunga.  Yep, the same fella than had his hands in the budget accounts and the edc.  He left Windcrest to face felony charges.
