Scott BrownGUEST
Lots of little links make up the entire route.
Molly VogtHOST
But Scott, you know, when you sent me, um, the notice that you got from AEP Texas and CPS Energy, it said that there were 77 different potential routes.
Scott BrownGUEST
Right.
Scott BrownGUEST
Right? But we hadn't gotten that yet.
David Martin DaviesHOST
Some parts of it have been privatized, and there's the, uh, the changing of ownership for the La Villita Assembly Hall.
David Martin DaviesHOST
Used to be owned by CPS Energy.
David Martin DaviesHOST
Uh, is that changing also the viability of using La Villita as a site for Niosa?
Betty BuechéGUEST
Well, let me first and foremost say that the San Antonio Conservation Society supports the city's efforts to redevelop La Villita so that it remains relevant and, uh, a place that the public will continue to enjoy.
Charles BlainHOST
Its fiscal year 2026 general fund is $1.69 billion, more than $504 million.
Charles BlainHOST
Almost 30% comes from CPS Energy.
Charles BlainHOST
That is more than the city's property tax contribution.
Charles BlainHOST
San Antonio owns the utility, so the transfer is established by policy.
Paul CoblerGUEST
And in the, uh, cases of Austin and San Antonio, which are the two largest cities in the state that own their own utilities, uh, for the City of Austin, it was about $125 million that they transferred back to the City of Austin in 2025.
Paul CoblerGUEST
And CPS Energy, which is the, uh, municipally-owned utility for the City of San Antonio, they have budgeted a payment of $559.7 million to the City of San Antonio for fiscal year 2027.
Laura RiceHOST
All right.
Laura RiceHOST
So what does San Antonio and Austin say about, you know, if this plan went through, what would that do to their b- budget plans?
