Cibolo mayor outlines ribbon cutting, nearly $1 million in grants, pet-carrier donation and senior-center move
Summary
At a March 11 recap, Mayor Mark Allen announced an Elite Mart ribbon cutting, said the city secured almost $1 million in grants over two fiscal years, reported council approval of a 53-carrier donation to the local shelter, and said the senior-center program will relocate to the Noble Group Event Center.
Mayor Mark Allen on March 11, 2025, gave a brief recap of items discussed at the Cibolo City Council meeting, announcing an upcoming ribbon cutting for a new Elite Mart Shell station, a multi-year grant haul approaching $1 million, approval of a donation of 53 pet carriers for the local shelter, and plans to move the senior-center program to the Noble Group Event Center.
The most immediate event is a ribbon cutting for Elite Mart, a Shell-branded convenience station on FM 1103 just north of Green Valley Road. Maggie, a representative of the chamber of commerce, told the council the ceremony is scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m.
The mayor said city staff presented a grants update showing the city has received “almost $1,000,000 in grants” over the past two fiscal years. Council members did not provide a detailed breakdown in the recap; amounts by program or funding source were not specified at the meeting.
Councilors approved a public-purpose acceptance for a donation of 53 pet carriers from a private company identified in the transcript as ZugoPet (the transcript also uses the variant “ZooGoPet”). The carriers were described as “luxury pet carriers” that will be available free to Cibolo residents who adopt pets once the carriers are received and made ready at the city’s animal shelter (the transcript refers to this facility as the “Cibolo bridal shelter”; the facility name was not otherwise specified). The council’s announcement described the donation as approved for public purpose; mover, seconder and vote tallies were not given in the recap.
The mayor also said the city will move the Cibolo Senior Center program to the Noble Group Event Center. He said the facility will be used for community events and that city staff will use office and storage space there. The council did not provide dates for when the senior-center program will begin operations at the Noble Group Event Center.
Allen noted a city strategic workshop is scheduled for April 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for council members to discuss the city’s strategic vision. He closed the recap by reminding attendees the next regular council meeting will be Tuesday, March 25, at 6:30 p.m.
Details that were not specified during the recap include the fiscal-year accounting behind the grant figure, the name and contact for the donating company beyond the variants reported in the transcript, the formal vote record for the 53-carrier acceptance, and the exact date the senior-center services will relocate to the Noble Group Event Center.
