SB 1110 would prevent cities from transferring utilities revenues into their municipal general funds.
so far this session, one is causing particular concern among San Antonio city officials.
"As introduced, it would hit our general fund revenue percentages requiring drastic cuts to city services including public safety," Basurto told city officials, including several members of the city council."It would also undo our municipal utility model." Both Coyle and Basurto said the bill was originally aimed at Austin's energy utility. Basurto noted that Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, the bill's sponsor, read a comment from a former Austin city councilperson who said energy rates would not have risen if the city had foregone or reduced its general fund transfer.
The city felt that the bill was important enough that Gorzell and Walsh cleared their schedules the day after the city learned of the bill and headed to Austin for conversations with area senators and representatives.
