Boerne council approves financial reports, public‑records ordinance, 10‑year plan and gas main change order

The Boerne City Council met March 11, 2025, and approved several items by unanimous votes, including receipt of the city's annual comprehensive financial report and popular annual financial report, adoption (first reading) of an ordinance implementing House Bill 3033 on vexatious public‑information requesters, adoption of the 2025 rolling 10‑year plan and authorization for a change order on the East Loop Natural Gas Main Phase 2 project.

Why it matters: the actions formalize the city's audited financial position and public‑records procedures, confirm strategic priorities for capital projects, and authorize additional construction spending on a gas distribution main that city staff said addresses recent winter peak demand issues.
