Cibolo council approves bond financing plan, awards UDC rewrite contract; Randy Roberts named mayor pro tem
Summary
At its Dec. 10, 2024, meeting, the Cibolo City Council approved a financing plan for certificates of obligation and general obligation bonds to fund an animal shelter and a police‑fire substation, awarded a professional services agreement for a Unified Development Code rewrite, and named Randy Roberts mayor pro tem, Mayor Mark Allen said.
At its Dec. 10, 2024, meeting, the Cibolo City Council approved a financing plan for certificates of obligation and general obligation bonds to fund a new animal shelter and a police‑fire substation and awarded a professional services agreement to begin rewriting the city’s Unified Development Code, Mayor Mark Allen said.
The financing plan covers certificates of obligation (COs) and general obligation (GO) bonds that voters approved in the Nov. 5, 2024, election to pay for the animal shelter and the police‑fire substation. The mayor said the bonds are scheduled to be sold at auction on Feb. 11, 2025.
“The COs and the GO bonds for the new animal shelter as well as the police and fire station that our citizens voted affirmative on during the Nov. 5, 2024 election,” Mayor Mark Allen said, describing the items covered by the financing plan. He added the auction date for the bonds will be Feb. 11, 2025.
Council members also approved a professional services agreement with Candig Keyst Collaborative to perform a full rewrite of the city’s Unified Development Code (UDC), Allen said. The agreement is intended to update Cibolo’s development regulations; the transcript did not specify the contract amount or schedule.
The council elected Randy Roberts to serve as mayor pro tem effective immediately, the mayor said. The transcript did not record a roll call vote or provide vote tallies for the appointment or the other approvals mentioned by the mayor.
Council received a staff presentation on 2025 budget items related to employee market adjustments and merit increases tied to Proposition C, which voters approved Nov. 5, 2024. Mayor Allen thanked voters for approving the proposition. “Thank you to all the citizens who came out and voted for Prop C,” Allen said. The transcript records the presentation but does not specify that the council adopted any final budget amendment at the meeting.
The mayor also announced the city received a $20,000 donation from GVEC’s roundup program; Allen said the funds will go toward pond improvements next to the Cibolo HEB. The transcript did not identify the GVEC representatives by name or record a formal acceptance vote.
Other community items mentioned by Allen included a holiday parade scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 14, beginning at Borgfeld and Cibolo Valley Drive at 10 a.m., traveling down Cibolo Valley Drive, crossing FM 1103 onto Main Street and ending at Cibolo City Hall, followed by a children’s event at the Noble Group Event Center where each child may receive one free toy while supplies last.
