We&#8217;ve been attending HOA meetings, working on Commissioners Court agenda items, answering emails and calls, making site visits to areas of concern, and on the political side I\u2019ve been campaigning for re-election (and as you may have heard, we won!).<br \/><br \/>In January, I attended a solidarity mission to Israel to view first-hand the carnage caused by the Hamas terrorists and had the solemn opportunity to meet with family members of the victims and hostages to hear their stories. It was an impactful trip, not just from my perspective being a Marine combat veteran and an elected official who understands Israel\u2019s right and duty to defend its borders from these terrorists, but also as a husband and father who would fight to keep my family safe from harm.<br \/><br \/>In February, I took a trip down to the border in\u00a0Eagle Pass\u00a0to see all of the good work that our Border Patrol and Texas National Guard are doing to protect our borders. I&#8217;ve mentioned this before, and I&#8217;ll say it again \u2013\u00a0<em>our federal government has failed us on the border, and we need them to do more to get this under control.<\/em>\u00a0This crisis at the border directly impacts us here in Bexar County, and not just\u00a0the\u00a0financial burden it puts on our courts, jail, schools, and hospitals. It puts our safety at risk as well. It&#8217;s imperative that we keep pressure on the federal government to act effectively and decisively to secure our border.<br \/><br \/>Here&#8217;s an update on what&#8217;s occurred recently in our Precinct and what&#8217;s coming up soon.<br \/><br \/>Recently at Commissioners Court, I led an effort to fix a decade old sewage issue at\u00a0<strong>Timberwood Villas<\/strong>\u00a0using federal ARPA dollars (as opposed to local tax dollars). The issue had already been to mediation several times before, and its final mediation occurred in late 2023, leaving a funding gap that needed to be closed in order to finally fix a sewage issue that has plagued the homeowners, threatened the greater Timberwood Park residents, and was also deemed to be an environmental hazard to the Edwards Aquifer by the County\u2019s Environmental Services Department. This process was tedious and started in January 2023 when the neighbors came to my office and asked for help.\u00a0My team and I worked hard to resolve this terrible situation not just for the Timberwood Villas, but for all of Bexar County. I\u2019m proud to say we got it done.<br \/><br \/><strong>There are many projects that my team and I are currently working on, and fighting for our neighbors and taxpayers is something we consider a badge of honor. As your Commissioner, I pledge to continue to do my best to serve Precinct 3, and my team will always provide you with the highest level of customer service.<\/strong><br \/><br \/>To that end, we have heard from our neighbors in Cibolo Canyons who are concerned about a potential land swap to be decided by US Fish and Wildlife. After hearing the neighbors concerns and attending meetings with them, we submitted our comments to US Fish and Wildlife asking them to carefully consider all of the concerns and comments provided by the numerous neighbors and to not allow any further development of land designated for conservation in their neighborhood. We have also been working with several of our suburban cities on projects and issues that are important to them, including Grey Forest, Helotes, Castle Hills, and Fair Oaks Ranch. As the County continues to experience rapid growth, there will be many issues that we will need to work through together. I pride myself on being a problem solver, and bringing folks together to work through issues is something I fully put into practice. Our team looks forward to working on these and any other important issues in the year ahead.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><em>Speaking of Growing Pains &#8212;<\/em><br \/><br \/>Recently, neighbors in Timberwood Park brought forward concerns they had with rampant apartment development along the 281 corridor. All it takes is a drive along any major corridor in Precinct 3 to see that we are literally bursting at the seams with new developments and apartments along 1604, 281 and I10. Unfortunately, the County doesn\u2019t\u00a0have a lot of tools or authority when it comes to managing development\u00a0as our powers are granted by the Texas Constitution and the State Legislature. When projects are within the city of San Antonio city limits, they have the ability to affect zoning and could slow down or even stop some developments. We do our best to weigh in on projects that we feel could be problematic to our existing neighborhoods, negatively impact our schools, and cause rampant traffic issues. We may not always win these arguments with City Council, but nevertheless, it is important that they know where we stand on these important issues.<br \/><br \/>Here is an example letter I sent to Councilman John Courage to express my concerns, and the concerns of our neighbors with a project that he was supporting along 281:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"center\",\"id\":985,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"841\" class=\"wp-image-985\" src=\"https:\/\/grantmoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grantmoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image.png 650w, https:\/\/grantmoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Please stay engaged with our office and let us know of your concerns.\u00a0We love to serve you!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:separator --><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/><!-- \/wp:separator --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|vivid-red\"}}}},\"textColor\":\"vivid-red\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color\"><strong>Commissioners Court<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|vivid-red\"}}}},\"textColor\":\"vivid-red\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color\"><strong>How I View Court items<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Every Commissioners Court meeting provides me an opportunity to weigh in on a variety of issues that are important to Precinct 3.
