LETTER FROM MAYOR CHRIS RILEY ON COVID-19 CRISIS - 3/27/20
Dear Leon Valley Citizens and Businesses:
As your Mayor, under Texas law, I am in charge of emergency management for the COVID-19 crisis. We are presently under an Emergency Ordinance, amended by council on March 25th. The following are highlights of the amended Ordinance:
- Generally adopted Bexar County's Stay Home, Work Safe Order;
- Defined businesses by their uses (in line with the County Order);
- Included a six foot social (or physical) distancing requirement for exempted businesses, with a 10 person limit on gatherings as a separate provision.
We are living in uncertain times with the coronavirus affecting humanity worldwide. Our number one priority is to protect the health, safety and welfare of our citizens and businesses. The Stay Home, Work Safe Order enacted by the County and City on March 25th is to stop the spread of this highly contagious virus and "flatten the curve". (1 case reported in Bexar County on March 13th and as of March 26th, there were 113 confirmed cases). If you are experiencing the symptoms of high fever, cough, body aches, please call your doctor and treat and isolate yourself at home. If you are experiencing shortness of breath or unable to breathe, then go to the emergency room.
We are all doing our patriotic duty to work together for the common good of our community. A HUGE thank you to all the health care workers and first responders who are putting their lives on the line while dealing with this emergency. Take care and stay healthy and safe!

Tiger Sanitation - Doing Their Part!
Leon Valley just received word from our solid waste vendor, Tiger Sanitation, that due to the onset of the COVID-19
virus and its effect on citizens' lives, they are going to suspend the rate adjustment for the City of Leon Valley for at least the next billing cycle.
"We know that it is our right, as per the contract, to initiate the rate adjustment but during this crisis we feel that doing so is not the
Tiger way.
" Stated Lee Kuhn, General Manager. The adjustment will be re-evaluated before the next billing cycle of August - October.
A "thank you" to Tiger Sanitation for being sensitive to our citizens' situation during this difficult time.
