Cibolo opens new Community Center for seniors; city honors employees and celebrates Cibolo Fest

The City of Cibolo announced a soft grand opening Oct. 27 for the new Cibolo Community Center, which the mayor said will house the city’s senior citizen program. Mayor Mark Allen said the center, in the building formerly known as the Noble Group Event Center, held a soft opening earlier that day.

Service awards: Allen congratulated Dale Roberts of Public Works on five years of service and Yolanda Avila of the Municipal Court on 10 years of service to the city.

Cibolo Fest: The mayor described the recent Cibolo Fest as “the best it’s ever been,” saying vendors sold out of most food and crafts and that the city held its first professional fireworks show. He thanked staff and vendors for the event’s success.

Staff events and scheduling: The mayor said the city will host a Thanksgiving luncheon for staff on Nov. 20. He also mentioned an annual employee awards event but the date given in the spoken update was not legible in the transcript; the transcript lists the employee awards event date as “12/12/1212,” which is clearly erroneous. The precise date for the awards event was not specified in the meeting record and should be confirmed with city staff or the human resources office.

Why it matters: The community center establishes a new site for senior programming in downtown Cibolo, and the festivals and staff recognitions are part of routine municipal community engagement and employee morale activities. The mayor’s spoken update did not include operational details (hours, program schedule for the center) or budget information for the events.
