Safety Tips for Runners, Walkers & Joggers

-->

The residential streets in City of Alamo Heights contains a big population of walkers and joggers. It’s that time of year to prepare for less daylight and more darkness when jogging or walking on the residential streets. Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians can result in serious injuries but are avoidable by being seen and see approaching danger. The following are some common sense tips to minimize dangers when sharing the streets with cars during low light or times of darkness.

  • Wear bright clothing or reflective material blended into the clothing
  • Attach reflectors and lighting on the front and back of clothing, wear reflectorized belts, or glowing bands to warn others of your presence
  • Hand held flashlights with yellow, red or orange wands are universal warning colors and easily recognizable
  • When walking with pets fit them with lighted or reflectorized collars and leashes
  • Walk/run against traffic to observe on-coming vehicles and be prepared to take evasive action
  • Carry a cellular phone
  • Turn down the volume of headsets or ear buds in order to hear what’s going on around you.

A message from CITY OF OLMOS PARK

Dear Olmos Park Residents,

We’ve heard from many of you asking how to help in response to the devastating flooding in Central Texas. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

To support the relief efforts for flood victims in the Hill Country, we’ve compiled the following trusted options for monetary donations:

There are many ways to give, but these organizations are well-positioned to provide immediate and ongoing support to those impacted.

Supply Donations

The Salvation Army Kroc Center in Kerrville has temporarily paused in-kind and meal donations due to space limitations but hopes to resume accepting them once a larger warehouse is secured. In the meantime, the Olmos Park Police Department is coordinating a local supply collection at City Hall. If you would like to contribute, please bring your donations to City Hall on Thursday, July 10 only, during regular business hours (8:30 am – 5:00 pm). Donations must be received by 5:00 p.m. so staff can sort and prepare items for transport to Kerrville. Please do not drop off items after the deadline. We will transport the supplies to Kerrville when they are ready to accept more donations and resources. Donations can include:

  • Non-Perishables
  • Hygiene Items
  • Bleach
  • Brooms
  • Shovels
  • Trash Bags

Uncoordinated efforts can block critical roadways and divert essential resources. Instead, please go through established volunteer organizations or official channels to ensure that your help is effective and doesn’t hinder ongoing relief operations.

We will continue to monitor the situation and share updates if new needs arise or additional ways to help become available.

Thank you,

City of Olmos Park

Special Election – Street Maintenance Sales & Use Tax Renewal

-->

The City of Alamo Heights will hold an election on Saturday, May 3, 2025, asking voters to reauthorize the one-half of one percent sales and use tax to continue to provide revenue for the maintenance and repair of existing city streets.  This tax was first approved and adopted by citizens in 2008.

The State of Texas allows municipalities to collect a sales and use tax exclusively for the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing public street (Tax Code Chapter 327.006).  This same law currently requires that voters reauthorize the tax every four years.

The one-half cent sales and use tax will generate approximately $847,000 each year, allowing the City to address the funding challenge associated with the maintenance of the City’s existing streets.

Early Voting will begin on Tuesday, April 22nd through Tuesday, April 29th utilizing the Voter Center Model.  The Voter Center Model allows voters to vote at any designated Bexar County polling site on Election Day, as one does during Early Voting period.  Click here to for a list of early voting polling sites.  City Hall is an Election Day polling site on Saturday, May 3rd with polling hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  The AHISD Admin. Building located at 7101 Broadway is another Election Day polling site.  Don’t forget to bring your I.D. and voter registration card for processing.

Community Alert: Vehicle Burglaries

-->

This bulletin is prepared to alert residents to a surge in vehicle burglaries occurring in the neighborhoods during hours of darkness. This growing crime trend is not just local, but in all the neighborhoods in the surrounding areas in the greater San Antonio / Bexar County metroplex.

Vehicle burglaries are difficult to address only through increased police patrol and investigative
efforts.

It is my opinion progress in abating this problem will only occur when the community and police
work together. Vehicle burglaries occurring in our area have one common denominator: UNLOCKED CARS.
Despite fears of broken windows these criminals only break a window if there is a high value object
left in open view.

Vehicle burglaries are one of the highest forms of larceny but they are the easiest to prevent. To
jump start a community effort we ask everyone to LOCK YOUR VEHICLES and remove your valuables,
especially firearms. To prevent vehicle thefts be sure to remove your keys or fob from the vehicle
when not in use.

AHPD has already made arrests through a heightened patrol effort and investigative analysis leading
to the execution of a search warrant where stolen property was recovered. To assist us we are
asking that residents frequently check their video surveillance and doorbell camera recordings. If
there are recordings of persons checking vehicles, please contact us. Colleen Ferruzzi is our
investigative analyst and a collection point for all video recordings and information regarding
vehicle burglaries. She can be contacted by phone at (210) 822-2230 or by email at
cferruzzi@alamoheightstx.gov. If sending a video recording, please include information regarding
the date and time of day the recording was made.

Let’s work together to address this problem and prevent Alamo Heights from being labeled “easy
money”. These criminals work in teams and have their own network to share information. As a
community and police effort we should be doing the same.

WARNING: DO NOT confront these individuals. Call 9-1-1 and report what you are seeing from the
protection of your home.

Tips and Tools to Prevent Egret Nuisances

-->

Protected Egrets Looking for Nesting Sites: Please be advised that migrating birds may be attempting to settle on private property north of the Patterson and Torcido area. Egrets, specifically cattle egrets and snowy egrets, flock in very large numbers once a roosting site is established, typically in tall, dense trees. When they choose a site in a residential area, this can present problems to homeowners and neighbors from the noise, stench, and damage to vegetation, roofs, and sidewalks caused by their droppings. Egrets and other migratory birds are protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treat Act. It is illegal to shoot, hunt, capture, kill, or harm migratory birds.

If Egrets Appear at Your Private Property: If scout egrets begin to settle at your private property, it is strongly recommended to deter the birds by legal means before more egrets arrive and establish nests. Once egrets start nesting and producing eggs, they are protected under federal law. Property owners may be able to make loud noises and sounds – by legal means – to encourage the birds to relocate elsewhere. Using tools like air horns, loud bells, and banging pots and pans to produce loud noises, hanging bright streamers in trees, water nozzles, and “scare eye ballons” are common tactics to scare away birds. These activities should be performed as soon as scout birds are seen on one’s property.

For more information, please contact City of Alamo Heights’ Cindy Pruitt, Deputy Police Chief, at 210-832-2217.

National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend – May 6th & 7th

-->

This year, the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend is taking place on May 6th and 7th.  MD. That’s when a grateful nation will honor 145 fallen fire service heroes—who were not only firefighters, but were family members, friends, colleagues, and neighbors. To show your support in your community, we urge you to help us to “Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters”.

The annual Memorial Weekend is the official national tribute to those firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year.  Simply swapping out regular light bulbs for red ones serves as a symbol of support and comfort to the families from across our country whose loved ones are being honored and remembered.

This year, we’ll kick off this multi-night event on May 4th in honor of International Firefighters Day—and will keep lights lit through the evening of May 7, the day of the Memorial Service.

As in years past, we are asking landmarks, buildings, families, and fire departments across the country to be part of this national remembrance.  The City of Alamo Heights City Hall will also display their tribute by switching facility lights to red lighting.  As always, thank you for your continued support.
