Protect Kyle Vista Park

Our fight for Kyle Vista Park is not over!

I was just informed by someone high up in the city council that Council Member Zapata, wants to continue with implementing the animal control facility in the Kyle Vista Park area.

This coming TUESDAY, JULY 7 at 7pm there is a City Council Agenda Item #18 which seeks to rededicate all city-owned tracts comprising Kyle Vista Park as official parkland dedicated exclusively for park and recreational purposes only. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT BUT ....

Council Member Zapata is going to try and get enough votes to vote AGAINST THIS AGENDA ITEM #18 and she's gearing up public support to show up and speak IN FAVOR of the animal control facility.

Don't get me wrong, I love animals and realize the need but as with everything there's a right place and a wrong place and Kyle Vista Park is the wrong place.

We MUST SHOW UP IN FORCE TO SAY NO to the animal control facility but more importantly to say YES TO RATIFYING Agenda Item #18!!!! Do you want to hear barking dogs non-stop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? If no, then please SHOW UP & SPEAK!!!

Agenda Item #18 is brought up by Council Member Tobias, Mayor Flores-Cale, and Council Member Goza who by the way ARE FRIENDS OF SUNSET HILLS.

ALL RESIDENTS need to go to this meeting on July 7 and SPEAK. You need to tell the Council that Agenda Item #18 must be passed and that facilities like the animal control center need to be housed in NON-RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

In the meantime everyone reading this needs to SEND AN EMAIL to the council and tell them that Agenda Item #18 on the July 7th meeting must be passed and why. Reasons being that this was and has always been for park land and recreational use ONLY. Nothing else. And an animal control facility will be a nuisance in a residential area and only belongs in a commercial setting.

In other news I am told that at the end of July there will be another council meeting and in this meeting the City Manager will detail what went on with this whole Kyle Vista Park / Hays Eastside Campus and we'll see the "who-what-when-and how" of what occurred based on the documentation I produced to kill this thing in the first place. That should also be a meeting y'all should attend and I will bring that up closer to the date.

In closing, please send m emails and please SHOW UP FOR THIS COUNCIL MEETING AND SPEAK ABOUT PASSING AGENDA ITEM #18. Thank you.

Thank you for continuing to stay engaged on this issue.

Commissioner Ingalsbe will be asking the County not to move forward with the proposed County Campus on the Kyle Vista Park parcels. She has also shared that announcement publicly on Facebook. You can read it here:
