The City of Cibolo City Council held a special meeting on July 31, 2025, primarily focused on discussions surrounding the upcoming fiscal year's budget and tax rate considerations. The meeting began with a prayer led by a council member, followed by a pledge of allegiance.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the discussion of the tax rate for fiscal year 2026. City officials presented various options for the tax rate, including the no new revenue rate and the voter approval rate. Council members were asked to provide feedback on whether they supported the proposed voter approval tax rate and the identification of one-time costs that would come from the city’s fund balance. The council also discussed the potential reduction of the fund balance to 26.6% in line with the city’s reserve policy.

In addition to the tax rate discussions, the council reviewed several action items from previous meetings. These included the creation of a preferred vendor spot on the vendor map with an increased fee, a discount promotion for wristbands at the upcoming Cibolo Fest, and the identification of projects eligible for federal funding. The council plans to revisit these topics in future meetings, including an update on the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) and associated costs.

One resident's concern regarding drainage fees was also raised during the meeting. The council member noted that the resident felt their drainage fees were higher than those of their neighbor and requested clarification on how these fees are calculated.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to follow up on the discussed items in upcoming sessions, ensuring that the council remains responsive to community concerns and budgetary needs.
