Council declines to approve rodeo event funding for 2025; staff told to revisit next year
Summary
Council voted not to approve a proposed rodeo event for February 2025, citing liability concerns and lack of budget authorization; staff were advised to plan for next year.
The Floresville City Council voted not to approve a proposal to fund a full rodeo event slated for Feb. 8, 2025, citing liability exposure and the event’s absence from the current budget.
Staff and legal counsel told the council the proposed rodeo carried significant liability and planning needs that had not been budgeted for the current fiscal year. Council members said restrooms and other event-center renovations remained outstanding and that there was limited time — roughly three months — to prepare. Based on those factors, a motion to not approve the rodeo this year passed unanimously; council asked staff and partners to continue planning for a potential event in a later year when funding and logistics can be secured.
No specific funding amounts or contracts for the rodeo were approved at the meeting.
