“I submitted a code compliance report about a heavy duty electrical cord that’s been running across the street on Forest Ash between two residents,” Delgado said. She told the council she filed the report on Jan. 8 and that she had received an acknowledgment from code enforcement, but that the issue still persisted at the time she spoke.

Delgado also told council members one resident was parking an increasing portion of a vehicle on the lawn — “it started out as just one wheel and now half the car is on the lawn” — and that another residence had placed a large filing cabinet on or by a front porch. She described the items as unsightly and said she was asking the council to have the matters addressed “before the appearance of the neighborhood doesn’t slowly go down.”

The mayor asked the city manager to give Delgado his card for follow up. No formal council action on the complaints was recorded at the meeting; staff acknowledgment of the complaint was reported by Delgado.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Live Oak - City Council Regular Meeting - Jan 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A long-time Live Oak resident told council she filed a Jan. 8 code-compliance report about a heavy-duty electrical cord running across Forest Ash and raised other neighborhood appearance complaints; code enforcement had acknowledged receipt but the problems persisted, she said.","taxTitle","Live Oak, Bexar County, Texas","taxId",69408,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6686426,"Live Oak receives GFOA certificate for 17th consecutive year, city officials say",67,239000,306000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159100-18ac1cdc690acea2f78c8bf93b63feed&start=239&end=306","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159100-18ac1cdc690acea2f78c8bf93b63feed/thumbnail_239000.jpg","/articles/6686426/Live-Oak/Bexar-County/Texas/Live-Oak-receives-GFOA-certificate-for-17th-consecutive-year-city-officials-say","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6686426-edd4864e7f69d507b9ad901a691a8fea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174952&Signature=UETkUs0Su45joVe3rbWJFipUDDhUPPAvNbimwRZzsurbSy3HYzUx61gxhx0Vj3kZaveUa4mNqbUExs~x2TAKKZYWLn8vhPufdPcYCYN-So7NvhBatztf2XLw3md8HVOCvI-xIUBRQ7z3Dw9LylJ9OfSVRYAR8gQJ4eVyrInmZ6NtM9MpqCU2gMGfm1Lp1PTZAtmWUcV7vPHlekptmBByaQ6iEDF736lDw2PuwbhYOYIcUqZ-QhJDKjQjUKCqGLK7jGIhFXKKmf29qt-r8~8JleSIp2zVISBJqaMkDgmQtrqlAQxTvy5SNARMCKKG~DXkC5ztE2UID~KWYODAY1pVWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Live Oak city officials on Tuesday presented a certificate of achievement for excellence in financial reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association, recognizing the city’s 2023 audit and marking the city’s 17th consecutive year to receive the award.

Finance staff member Leroy Kowalik described the award as the result of the annual audit process and introduced the certificate. Mayor and council members thanked the finance department for their work; one council member joked about confetti and cupcakes, and another reminded staff that public funds would not be used for any celebration.

The award and staff presentation preceded council discussion of the city’s annual comprehensive financial report later in the meeting.","City staff accepted a Government Finance Officers Association certificate of achievement for excellence in financial reporting; officials praised the finance team.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6686433,"Live Oak approves annual comprehensive financial report after auditors give clean opinion",699,475000,1174000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159100-18ac1cdc690acea2f78c8bf93b63feed&start=475&end=1174","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159100-18ac1cdc690acea2f78c8bf93b63feed/thumbnail_475000.jpg","/articles/6686433/Live-Oak/Bexar-County/Texas/Live-Oak-approves-annual-comprehensive-financial-report-after-auditors-give-clean-opinion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6686433-07d9efeaa75b9fe912a363e8315e1ab2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174952&Signature=lR2FbyubnyTDD~R6DA4b1IDWs03QqDwBjnWaN0J3on~2P6dB1qhnDUv1e3s5lI8BxMSaR5fiZ43m0xO7P2ZWs~j0sJ0JLBgHYhGoWnJadDN5yViBug-N4v7Rppz7ZIlc6L42I2e08ucZZREZIHWhpOwXZu1rKlI6Yqa6yn6XbB8fq34Wwrd7CMx-hTICwJrBp9Y0YySBv2~kVI5adLIE-MmZvW4~L~RJ3Rtjbby-cQumb9wfYKItCN5QXGvtda0TH0GScubSQ6j7gRTmVxtdgeEBToHQiPnAmwIoNG-sEAyFHffkSdpt8mV~FEb4J4vU~gmuhXkVXEpBN8O24Uh9oQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Live Oak City Council voted Tuesday to accept the city’s annual comprehensive financial report for fiscal year 2024 after the auditing firm issued an unmodified opinion.

Finance staff presented highlights from the audit and the city’s year-end balances. Finance staff member Leroy Kowalik said the auditors issued an “unmodified opinion,” and staff reported no material misstatements or written findings.

Staff told the council the reported combined governmental fund balance was roughly $17.77 million and the general fund ending balance was roughly $14.14 million, a year-over-year decrease of about $435,000 that staff said resulted primarily from planned transfers to asset replacement and capital projects. The city reported it maintained approximately 11.5 months of operating expenditures in general fund reserves, near its 12‑month target.

Kowalik also reviewed the city’s pension funding ratio: 94.7% for FY2022, 81.9% for FY2023 and 86.52% for FY2024, figures staff said indicate roughly 86% of the pension’s actuarial requirement is funded. The council asked for additional detail on outstanding litigation referenced in the audit and on tax abatements; staff agreed to provide a list of litigation matters and further information about the historical tax abatements after the meeting.

Auditing firm Armstrong Vaughn and Associates has performed the city audit for four years of a five-year contract, the finance presentation said. Staff said if the city goes out for bids in the fifth year it would not preclude the current firm from rebidding, and the city would request a change of lead auditor if the firm is awarded a new contract.

A motion to accept the annual comprehensive financial report passed at the meeting.","Council accepted the city’s annual comprehensive financial report after auditors issued an unmodified opinion; staff reported fund balances, pension ratios and the audit firm’s contract status.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":91,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6686434,"Live Oak council sets May 3, 2025 election for three council seats",143,332000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159100-18ac1cdc690acea2f78c8bf93b63feed&start=332&end=475","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159100-18ac1cdc690acea2f78c8bf93b63feed/thumbnail_332000.jpg","/articles/6686434/Live-Oak/Bexar-County/Texas/Live-Oak-council-sets-May-3-2025-election-for-three-council-seats","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6686434-68cd3e4d005cf975ea9b0e7567d52f1f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174952&Signature=TOdF78wVAnPLVvreU9ufhm-BXEmmE7s1N7NHubfbrtSDo4tEpzg1z0dW9qd7LN9MDL-4wdJciUHYj3AYDtAmhUEAk9QdWm7XexkPsHT5LRL0U1f7HwEOYgl6lgFSkvgjTKbIwV05sZ05KxcbWVtUTJ80Og8f5b4Iyh7YSaKy9QOmmRQFHlX4iSneRijhwgBkspOWIyGzVRI8tcUo2ZUH27FnAdOuBp1Xy8DmqF~2of65QNEAF46J3Qe0BCGTUnQqRmuzWf8O3xMO95veNgB~49sFC4SF7vvn1n~gZ5hG2juCmErELM1tcqj0T95TSn-Szi3fuvBOLt~Byzw~dLqPKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Live Oak City Council on Tuesday approved an ordinance calling a general election for May 3, 2025, to elect council members for places 1, 3 and 5.

Councilman Zimmicks asked about cost, and staff said the city budgeted about $13,000 for the election. A motion to adopt the ordinance carried; the ordinance passed in council action during the meeting.

The election will be held jointly with other entities, the ordinance states. Council discussion on the item was limited to clarifying the budgeted cost and confirming staff can proceed. No changes to the ordinance language were proposed at Tuesday’s meeting.
