Cibolo Council approves charter review for November ballot, renames event center and OKs LPR camera purchase
Summary
At its July 22 meeting Mayor Mark Allen said the Cibolo City Council voted to place charter amendments on the November 2025 ballot, selected Cibolo Community Center as the new name for the former Noble Group Event Center and approved buying 41 automated license-plate readers.
Mayor Mark Allen said Tuesday that the Cibolo City Council voted to place charter amendments on the November 2025 ballot, approved naming the former Noble Group Event Center the Cibolo Community Center and authorized the purchase of 41 automated license-plate readers (LPRs).
The actions were among several items the council considered at its July 22 meeting, Allen said in a public recap. "My name is Mark Allen. I'm the mayor of Cibolo, Texas, here to provide a recap from the Cibolo City Council meeting for Tuesday, 07/22/2025," Allen said. "Tonight, we discussed the naming of the city's newest facility, formerly known as the Noble Group Event Center, and we selected the name Cibolo Community Center." He added, "that facility will be updated in the near future."
Why it matters: placing charter amendments on the ballot means voters in Cibolo will decide any proposed changes in November 2025. The LPR camera purchase represents a city investment in public-safety technology; the council approved buying 41 FLOC Safety Falcon automated license-plate recognition cameras, Allen said. The council also approved funding to add power to a city pond area near the Cibolo H-E-B and voted to consolidate the city's Christmas parade and tree-lighting ceremony on Dec. 6, 2025.
Votes at a glance: the council approved putting charter amendments on the November 2025 ballot (motion details and vote tally not specified); approved the facility renaming to Cibolo Community Center (selection method and vote tally not specified); approved funding to add electrical service to the city pond near the Cibolo H-E-B (amount not specified); approved combining the Christmas parade and tree-lighting ceremony for Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025; and approved purchasing 41 FLOC Safety Falcon LPR cameras (purchase price and contract terms not specified).
Other updates: Allen said the city received an operations update from city staff member Brian Huggins that included lane-painting work on Dean Road. The city’s street-rehabilitation package is currently out for work, and contractor D and D won the bid to reconstruct Town Creek, Firebird Run and Silverwing, Allen said. Allen also announced a memorial tree-planting service for Sue Bassinet will be held Aug. 2 at 10 a.m. in front of the Cibolo Police Department headquarters. Allen said the council will meet again in August (date not specified).
What the city did not specify: the transcript recap did not include vote tallies, the dollar amounts for the pond power project or the LPR purchase, nor the specific charter amendments to appear on the ballot. The council’s motions, movers and seconds were not provided in the recorded recap.
Ending: City officials said more information will be released about the parade/tree-lighting schedule and about facility-name changes as details are finalized.
