Some San Angelo residents discovered a door-knob flyer on their front door Monday morning with an announcement sheet and postcard inside.
The flyer urges greater public involvement in decisions about the city’s future, citing concerns about utility costs, water supplies, and development.
The flyer specifically raises questions about potential new fees on water bills and whether the city will have enough water to meet future needs.
The flyer also highlights the Northeast Sector Master Plan, which it says covers more than 7,000 acres and could significantly affect future development.
It questions why the plan wasn’t brought up at the recent town halls and says residents should have more say in city planning matters.
The flyer criticizes recent town halls with City Council members and the new city manager for not using a clear question-and-answer format during discussions about right-of-way fees. It stresses the lack of clarity may lead to inconsistent information and limit effective public involvement.
Residents are encouraged to contact the mayor and their City Council representative about the issues that concern them. The flyer includes a postcard for residents to mail and directs them to a Data Center Citizen Coalition website for additional information and help identifying their City Council district.
