City Approves Contract for Delinquent Municipal Lien Collections
The commission took action to adopt a written contract and approve a contingency fee contract with Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins, and Mott, LLP, for the collection of delinquent municipal liens owed to the city of San Juan. This action follows the first reading of an ordinance establishing fees for these collection services. The contract allows the firm to collect outstanding municipal liens, bringing money back to the city at no cost to the city itself. The firm also assists with collecting municipal court fines and fees. The notice of the contract was posted with the agenda, in accordance with Section 2254 of the Government Code. The commission approved the action item.

The Taysha Group LLC requested a rezoning of a 6.68-acre tract of land from single-family residence district (RS) to multi-family residence district (RMF) located approximately 200 ft north of Hall Acres Road along the west side of Stewart Road. The LLC requested to table the item to allow for additional information from the city, but city staff indicated that the requested information had already been provided.

San Juan Police Praised for Quick Response in Locating Missing Alzheimer's Patient
Mayor Mario Garza commended Chief Sequentez and his officers for their swift and caring response in locating a missing elderly man who suffered from Alzheimer's. The Mayor observed the man from his office and contacted the Chief for a wellness check. Within approximately 30 seconds of the call, four to five officers arrived, addressed the gentleman, and ensured he was safe and okay before reuniting him with his family. Chief Sequentez confirmed the man was safe and back home, explaining that investigators had been working to locate surveillance cameras and that community assistance, like the Mayor's observation, is crucial in such cases. He noted that while these situations can be difficult, the rapid response and care demonstrated by the officers led to a positive outcome. The incident occurred after the man was reported missing by his family at 4:00 a.m. due to his Alzheimer's condition.
Rezoning Request for East 11th Street Property Denied
A public hearing was held regarding a rezoning request for the property at 3307 East 11th Street from single-family residence (RS) to multi-family residence (RMF). The applicant, Elias Jair Gutierrez, requested the rezoning of two residential lots. The surrounding area is designated for residential use. In November 2024, a similar request for two lots behind this property was denied. Public notice was given, and 22 property owners were notified. Three emails in opposition were received. Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning request. A resident, Vicky Menace, spoke in opposition, citing concerns about traffic, lack of sidewalks, proximity to a middle school, and the feasibility of multi-family residences in the area. The commission voted to deny the request.
