Mayor Ron Nirenberg read a proclamation that noted the company’s founding in 1990 (originally titled Clever Endeavors), named city and national events the firm has produced — including the 1993 grand opening of the Alamodome, NCAA Final Four events, Spurs championship parades and work at Pearl — and said the CE Group would donate $350,000 in charitable, sponsorship and in-kind support and provide $3,500 gifts to three local nonprofits celebrating anniversaries in 2025.

Janet Holliday and CE Group staff accepted the proclamation. Councilmembers who have worked with the firm praised its attention to detail, event-management role for Visit San Antonio and contributions to tourism and the local economy. Several councilmembers noted longstanding relationships with the firm and thanked staff for sustained collaboration on city events.

The recognition was ceremonial; no city funding or policy actions were attached. Councilmembers said the firm’s work has boosted San Antonio’s national profile and supported local nonprofits through event-driven donations and partnerships.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - City Council A Session - May 01, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The San Antonio City Council recognized CE Group’s 35 years of event production and cited the firm’s role in major city events, charitable giving and partnerships; founder Janet Holliday and staff accepted a proclamation.","taxTitle","San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas","taxId",2771,"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},6577152,"Council proclaims May 5 as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Peoples Awareness Day; local organizers outline week of action",432,2446000,2878000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3169128-c8bf7f19bfad1b708683151726705227&start=2446&end=2878","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3169128-c8bf7f19bfad1b708683151726705227/thumbnail_2446000.jpg","/articles/6577152/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Council-proclaims-May-5-as-Missing-and-Murdered-Indigenous-Women-and-Peoples-Awareness-Day-local-organizers-outline-week-of-action","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577152-a5be3fc31323c131dc104ceab5483e0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770401968&Signature=ZLl8ZB6zJZ1WFPaNYMOOy46v~847b6wwzPkyOhIrexfiLGBuZQ98o0G-PTOB~CujP2X5BEO0ynzfWusvps7gjVesYReruf2q6Hmgng4gI9Qq-DgF0J4pueMACcvk7ULUJtUOcIWCn9mIUQhKdrnNT4qPdqynNUcvRT6XAVEccGfV~J4u68DuCwxBSYLOCrpaLmdZ64Jz5IIO~JADJP0ToukhoYQu8hQnbLVMb9URYr9~Mg4O-QQKvjBvTr1q-PCP4NhWfsWe2~J6FoLQ-mW4DvIB98DXww27MtUv83yYwPmCwRKc8WldBTIYwhKKzmrRyhWKkR~5cBqqg6EjWy~p4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio City Council on May 1 proclaimed May 5, 2025, as National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People's Awareness Day and received remarks from representatives of the American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions (AITSCM).

Councilmember Mckee Rodriguez introduced representatives from AITSCM and said the city is home to thousands of Native-identified residents. Ramon D. Vasquez, a member of the T'Pelam Kwai'ilat'en Nation, and Maya Soto, AITSCM’s community engagement coordinator and lead for the initiative, described planned events including a press conference at the steps of City Hall on May 5 and a week of action running May 5–9.

Maya Soto said the proclamation is “not merely symbolic” and highlighted gaps in resources for urban Native families, noting that indigenous cases are often misclassified, underinvestigated or receive limited institutional support. She urged the council’s support to treat the issue as a public-safety, gender-based violence and racial-equity concern. AITSCM referenced a specific ongoing case—Sarah Isabel Martinez, 17, missing from Fort Worth since Dec. 29—to illustrate the broader problem.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg read a proclamation recognizing AITSCM’s work and declaring the awareness day in San Antonio. The proclamation text included reference to AITSCM’s founding in 1994 and noted the organization’s mission to preserve culture and serve indigenous people in the Spanish colonial missions.

No legislative or funding actions were announced during the remarks; organizers asked for continued institutional support and resources and outlined local events and outreach.","The council proclaimed May 5, 2025, as National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Peoples Awareness Day in San Antonio and heard from the American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions about planned events and local needs.",{"_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},6577156,"Mayor proclaims May 2025 \"Destination College Week\"; San Antonio Education Partnership highlights outreach and scholarships",313,1979000,2292000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3169128-c8bf7f19bfad1b708683151726705227&start=1979&end=2292","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3169128-c8bf7f19bfad1b708683151726705227/thumbnail_1979000.jpg","/articles/6577156/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Mayor-proclaims-May-2025-Destination-College-Week-San-Antonio-Education-Partnership-highlights-outreach-and-scholarships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577156-8a5a378e00a9fc94ad5ad3f4e63ff879/orig.mp4?Expires=1770401968&Signature=XgaKRUcwcFHrZpq26v2ZX2AXtVSlA4Cj3uTAyxmOUO-fP1PUtpuWLIGHOxINWk4l5jlMLIYvWG03TqJDwApYNv6PpzF2APQdsKr5v-PLGxhqk69DNcg8BEcGBlyLVvtHvvEudXUmJM3xsK~HgaPN4xHV-up1v0TU5qXamxS9m6cZ08DgySJF27aPok-1qGeObndJ-wcpG5ikwv5g9aR84Y3klIklBMmlagRFC-TtXcDWOWFcFDxpb-85e4VuCiG0KKGtq0bV1a82VmCkGzA2Gc4BIiCl07bUx86ZBgA3yESlajz61lMRTwT-iZorYBUjzuO34BDLH8mSblBrDrpvYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Ron Nirenberg proclaimed May 2025 as Destination College Week on May 1, recognizing the San Antonio Education Partnership (SAEP), Cafe College and local higher-education partners for promoting college access across San Antonio.

The proclamation said more than 150,000 students are enrolled in 31 higher-education facilities across the city and noted that SAEP provides services to over 13,000 youth and adult learners and awards more than 5,000 scholarships annually. Dr. Vanessa Quiroga, executive director of community partnerships and campus visit experience at Texas A&M University–San Antonio, spoke on behalf of the higher-education community and highlighted the citywide collaboration among campuses, school districts and community organizations.

Chloe Bruno, a student at Texas A&M University–San Antonio, described herself as a first-generation college student and said the partnership and scholarship programs helped her pursue a degree in cybersecurity; she said she expects to graduate in December. Dr. Ana Acevedo, CEO of the San Antonio Education Partnership, reiterated that Cafe College is a one-stop resource for college advising and encouraged community participation in events including a Destination College Fair on May 14 and a College T-shirt Day on May 16.

Councilmembers applauded the partnership’s work; several serve on SAEP’s board or noted long-standing relationships with the program. The proclamation is intended to draw attention to college-going supports and the city’s investment in student advising, scholarships, and outreach events.

No formal council action or funding decisions were announced at the recognition; the proclamation highlights ongoing partnerships between the city, school districts, higher-education institutions and community organizations.","The City of San Antonio proclaimed May 2025 as Destination College Week and recognized the San Antonio Education Partnership (SAEP) and Cafe College for college advising and scholarship work that serves thousands of local students.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6577161,"San Antonio Fire Department investigations unit honored as international \"Investigator of the Year\"",203,1474000,1677000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3169128-c8bf7f19bfad1b708683151726705227&start=1474&end=1677","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3169128-c8bf7f19bfad1b708683151726705227/thumbnail_1474000.jpg","/articles/6577161/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/San-Antonio-Fire-Department-investigations-unit-honored-as-international-Investigator-of-the-Year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577161-e3c2b3eb491add3b5ab49337961953d9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770401968&Signature=W2CxmSYj182TTl16H-W-y1ERIUNyCVZgqE2Lknpf2uHTUGWE9tfffHz78HDWc5G27hLrrc1h~rvk3AXfV7JbjFVtgyhLRh~7hbUYLQkkmiUskIXxjRk6IRXFPyiG8LVctHRR91CKZqkvf54hHpVBlTjPRwqcFJzKEV49ttf2v~NFh5D7GdYaWhoInpDQG8awjdgky7LKxQ5f-SH~2FZ4qfQ1yxvDQLnr0M4BDuPCULfRHoYun1nsvHf-cVcxSXDz-HxDjvr2elV5QNhHqWSKe7akGyiBZyF43UXZK14ioeTXke5-of406JVTxhZE9YpAzNn6cUzCSlAw5kpF8r~uzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio City Council on May 1 recognized the San Antonio Fire Department Investigations Unit after the team was named Investigator of the Year by the International Association of Arson Investigators.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg and multiple councilmembers praised the unit’s technical skill and dedication. Councilmember Cabello Haverda said the award “isn’t just any award” and described it as “one of the highest honors in the field of fire investigation.” Councilmember Castillo noted the unit completed nearly 2,000 investigations in four and a half years and said 60 to 70% of those were accidental, emphasizing the unit’s role in prevention.

Councilmember Aldrete de Gavito and others credited leadership within the unit, singling out Lieutenant Paul Ramos for praise. The mayor described the San Antonio Fire Department as a Class 1 department and said the investigations team’s work saves taxpayer dollars and provides answers to grieving families.

Officials said the unit’s investigations inform prevention programs and community outreach, including education aimed at seniors and other high-risk groups. No formal action or vote was associated with the recognition; the item was a ceremonial proclamation and public acknowledgment.

The council’s remarks repeatedly underscored both the investigative and preventative aspects of the unit’s work and the value of its national recognition to the city’s public-safety efforts.","City leaders recognized the San Antonio Fire Department Investigations Unit after it was named Investigator of the Year by the International Association of Arson Investigators; councilmembers praised the unit’s casework and prevention efforts.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6577166,"City Council approves $400,000 housing trust award for Dietrich Road Apartments; consent agenda passes",96,1316000,1412000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3169128-c8bf7f19bfad1b708683151726705227&start=1316&end=1412","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3169128-c8bf7f19bfad1b708683151726705227/thumbnail_1316000.jpg","/articles/6577166/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/City-Council-approves-400000-housing-trust-award-for-Dietrich-Road-Apartments-consent-agenda-passes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577166-58c27771131ea1a2a62339183282a9ff/orig.mp4?Expires=1770401968&Signature=DPMpM-TDctTSPCvS4FKxgERmEwvYKxEsLIcIAa6gALVaZDuMWDirpttNSX--KdKwLEeeKh5WS09BynuAOkViePNODXVLZPlOe6lCrdZBu7cqDu0NUt8MuJPXz81nzYZ6ujdU2TdtRwEf3B6YSf9WiVanAZwNvwwW0F-olhBsomgcicHqN2Zy5NOcFwRzd98QLfQJTAl90w4pAexZYdWUjvJlfGIxvVun6FeOvfULI-r4SfWcGL-mexvgJPEpqdQ7HHJUwO8D6SQEcSOYjOkxXvqYzDahLPiWIGhUev8lLPfnw-TJzT3Jz1orok2oTSXN8zkbCJe6GND2PIO17TVhRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio City Council on May 1 approved an ordinance authorizing up to $400,000 from the city’s Housing Trust Fund to Opportunity Homes San Antonio for rehabilitation of the Dietrich Road Apartments in District 2. The council also approved the meeting minutes from April 16–17 and carried a full consent agenda of items 4–24, with item 23 heard separately and approved.

The ordinance authorizing the award to Opportunity Homes San Antonio was read by the clerk as “approving an award of up to $400,000 from the Housing Trust Fund to Opportunity Homes San Antonio for the rehabilitation of the Dietrich Road Apartments.” Councilmember Rocha Garcia recused herself from the vote on item 23. Councilmember Mckee Rodriguez said the work is “long needed and wanted” and expressed support for preserving affordable housing stock.

The council approved the consent agenda—covering items 4 through 24 except item 23—by motion and second; the mayor said the motion carried. The minutes for the April 16–17 meeting were approved earlier in the session without discussion.

No vote tallies were provided in the public remarks; the clerk recorded that the motions carried. The ordinance authorizing the Housing Trust Fund award did not include details in the public discussion about contractor selection, timeline for rehabilitation, or the scope of work; those details were not specified in the meeting record.

The council saved item 23 from the consent agenda for recusal purposes and moved it for individual consideration before voting. With the recorded recusal and the motion carried, staff will proceed to implement the award under the Housing Trust Fund procedures.

Items approved on the consent agenda include multiple contracts, appointments, and capital projects listed in the meeting packet; item-level details were contained in the council packet rather than the public remarks during the vote.
