Cibolo City Council names Denton Navarro as interim legal services provider

The Cibolo City Council convened on April 8, 2025, to address several key resolutions that will impact the community's legal representation and public safety initiatives.

One of the most significant decisions made during the meeting was the appointment of Denton Navarro, Rodriguez, Santee, and Zick, P.C. as the interim legal services provider for the city. This resolution, approved unanimously, designates Paul Wendland as the city attorney, with assistant city attorneys also appointed. This change aims to ensure that the city has robust legal support moving forward.

In addition to the appointment, the council approved a resolution to transfer legal representation for several former city officials from the previous law firm to the newly appointed firm. This move is part of a broader strategy to streamline legal services and maintain continuity in ongoing cases.

The council also voted to join a coalition of cities in a lawsuit challenging Senate Bill 2038, which is currently pending in the Travis County court. This action reflects the city's commitment to advocating for its interests alongside other municipalities.

Public safety was another focal point of the meeting, with the council approving two grant applications aimed at enhancing police equipment. The first grant will fund the purchase of rifle-resistant body armor for officers, while the second will provide ballistic shields for patrol vehicles. Both grants require no matching funds and are expected to significantly bolster the safety of Cibolo's law enforcement personnel.

As the meeting concluded, the council entered an executive session to discuss various matters, including negotiations with Guadalupe County regarding annexation and personnel issues. The outcomes of these discussions will likely shape future city governance and community relations.

Overall, the decisions made during this meeting reflect the city council's proactive approach to legal representation and public safety, addressing immediate needs while laying the groundwork for future initiatives.
