Published on September 18, 2025

SAN ANTONIO (September 18, 2025) – On Thursday, September 18, 2025, Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones released the below statement following the CCR vote.

“Whether it’s through a CCR or work done through committee, our focus should be on getting things done most efficiently and effectively. The recent Animal Abandonment ordinance that was rushed through and led to widespread confusion about its actual effect and implementation is a perfect example of why we need to do our due diligence with all proposed policy changes. I look forward to working with my fellow Council Members on policy changes that address the needs of our community in a timely and effective way.”
