Council approves donation of little free library and to recognize gift in budget
Summary
Council approved a donated "little free library" for a Bulverde park from the Craewood family and directed staff to install it upon delivery; an accompanying ordinance to amend the FY26 budget to recognize a $10,000 park donation was presented but the roll‑call vote is not recorded in the transcript excerpt.
The Bulverde City Council on Jan. 13 accepted a donation of a little free library from the Craewood family for installation at Davis (Baywood) Park and approved placement by Public Works once delivery is confirmed.
Staff explained the donation and said the unit will include instructions to help prevent trash accumulation. "We will place the little free library in that location that was donated by the Craewood family," a staff member said during the presentation. Council moved, seconded and recorded a voice vote in favor: "All in favor, Aye." Staff will schedule installation upon delivery.
The council also considered an ordinance to amend the FY26 budget to recognize a related $10,000 donation intended for park bench and table repairs. A council member moved to approve the ordinance and it was seconded; the transcript does not record a formal roll‑call vote. The ordinance language included repealing conflicting ordinances, a severability clause and an effective date. Staff said the donation will be received directly and the city will increase the revenue and expense lines accordingly once the check is received.
The donation and related budget action were presented as local, noncontroversial items and were handled in sequence during the consent/regular agenda.
