The San Antonio City Council approved the consent agenda on Oct. 1, which included items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11. The consent vote was carried by voice; the meeting record shows no council pull for separate consideration of these items.
Public commenter Jack Finger addressed multiple consent items that include alcohol-variance requests. Finger cited a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission guideline, saying, "We even have the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission said, do not sell alcohol within 300 feet of a school." He urged the council to be cautious when granting variances and questioned whether certain districts should be approving those variances given elected officials' past conduct described by the commenter.
