23rd Annual MLK March and Commemoration next Monday
Months of planning and event preparation for one of the nation's largest MLK March are coming to an end as the finishing touches are being made for the City of San Antonio's 2010 MLK March and Commemoration.
January 18, 2010, will mark the 23rd anniversary of the City of San Antonio's legacy of joining with community members to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of this nation's most revered civil rights leaders. "Freedom, equality and justice were tenets that our founding fathers embraced and we march to demonstrate our continued commitment to those values" says Councilwoman Ivy R. Taylor.
The march will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the MLK Academy, 3501 Martin Luther King Drive. Coach Herman Boone will deliver the keynote speech at the Commemorative Program following the march. Boone is best known for his story being told in the hit movie Remember the Titans. The special musical guest for the commemorative program will be Marvin Sapp.
All San Antonians are invited to attend the march on Monday. Please do not bring animals to the event. For more information on the 2010 MLK March and Commemoration, visit www.sanantonio.gov/mlk. |

City passes $2.3 billion balanced budget for FY 2010 |
Release Date: September 17, 2009
City of San Antonio Communications and Public Affairs Department: 207-7234
City passes $2.3 billion balanced budget for FY 2010
City Council today approved a $2.3 billion balanced budget for fiscal year 2010 that focuses on the City's core mission and basic services and encompasses efficiency reductions, resource redirections and service modifications totaling more than $19 million in reduced spending.
"During these tough economic times, we've had to make some difficult choices. But we've done so in a way that prioritizes the core functions of city government to best serve all San Antonians," said Mayor Julián Castro.
The 2010 Operating Budget includes $9.3 million in general fund improvements with more than $2 million of that amount resulting from resource redirections. The budget also includes $11 million in mandated services to include the operating costs for one new fire station and three new branch libraries. The City's financial reserves will be maintained at a 9% rate in FY 2010. In addition, for the third year in a row, the budget includes a reduction in the City property tax rate, reflecting the City/County consolidation of clinical health services with the county health system.
Although the budget does not include a cost of living increase for civilian, uniformed, and retired employees, employee health insurance premiums will be maintained without a rate increase for FY 2010.
