Council authorizes $11,000 to reestablish irrigation at Saddle Tree Triangle

Shavano Park City Council · October 27, 2025

Summary

Council approved up to $11,000 from the capital replacement fund to restore irrigation infrastructure in the Saddle Tree Triangle, enabling planned landscaping and a proposed pollinator garden; council modified the motion to specify the capital replacement fund as the source.

Council voted unanimously to authorize the city manager to approve up to $11,000 to reestablish irrigation in the Saddle Tree Triangle (the landscaped triangle near the fire station). Councilmember Maggie said the beautification and tree committees prepared a plan but the irrigation system previously in place is no longer serviceable and must be replaced on a new piping layout.

Staff said the work would cover preliminary irrigation installation (abandoning existing in-place piping and running new lines) and would establish multiple irrigation zones to serve lawns, planting beds and a potential pollinator garden; Bill Hill said the proposed funds could come from the Northwest Military capital replacement fund rather than general tax revenues. The motion, modified to specify the capital replacement fund, passed 5–0.
