Dear Beryl Lipton:
COVID-19 NOTICE
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor of Texas declared a public health emergency and disaster and issued an Executive Order for people to "Stay Home" to mitigate the spread of the virus and protect the health and safety of Texans by limiting gathering and restricting work activities to those that are essential and support critical infrastructure. City of San Antonio administrative departments are closed to in-person contact. Many departments are on skeleton crews while remaining staff is working remotely or is present but involved directly in the public health or epidemic response. Too Few Employees have the access necessary to respond to public information requests at this time. Therefore in accordance with the guidance issued by the Office of the Texas Attorney General, this is not a "business day" for the purpose of Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code, the Public Information Act, and all PIA-related processes are currently paused.
