Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Floresville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Council comments removed from meeting agendas
The council voted to scrap the council comments segment, which some members used to speak directly to constituents. Council Member Morones says it silences him; legal staff say unposted comments violate the Open Meetings Act. Expect this fight to continue at future meetings.
Council rules of conduct and decorum overhaul
New rules end individual videoconference participation, cap discussion at two minutes per member, set a 9 p.m. end time, and formalize sergeant-at-arms enforcement — critics, including Council Member Lamberth, called it a tool to silence dissent.
FY 2026-2027 Property Tax Rate
Floresville was scheduled to lock in its property tax rate for the coming year under a 'no new rate' designation, along with the budget that rate supports. This affects every property owner's city tax bill and funds city services for the year.
Grant funding pursuits (CDBG-MIT and TxCDBG)
The council is positioning the city to chase federal mitigation dollars and state community development grants — money that could fund infrastructure and mitigation projects without raising local taxes.
2024/2025 City Audit
The city's yearly financial check-up was accepted by the council — it's the official look at how Floresville handled taxpayer money.
