San Antonio City Council

Castro was one of four applicants to fill the seat after Councilwoman Ana Sandoval resigned. She will serve until a permanent councilperson is elected on May 6.

District 10 Councilman Clayton Perry ended months of speculation Thursday after he issued a statement saying he would not seek a fourth term in for San Antonio’s northeast side council district.

The pool of candidates is growing for all of the city council seats in the upcoming may election.

The vote was 9-2 with council members Jalen McKee-Rodriguez and Teri Castillo dissenting.

The council seat will be open for the citywide elections in May.

Businesses in prolonged construction areas like North Saint Mary’s and Broadway will be eligible for grants up to $35,000 under a new relief program from the City of San Antonio.

The City of San Antonio is increasing the money spent on support services in its Construction Mitigation Program to the tune of $400,000 next year.

The city council selected Michael Gallagher, Jose Garcia, and Pauline Rubio to be interviewed in a public session.

Gallagher will stay in the position until Clayton Perry returns or the term ends next June, whichever comes first.

The council's resolution expressed no confidence in Perry, but it removed language asking him to leave. Perry plans to take a sabbatical.
