Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Floresville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Tiger Lane rezoning for commercial use
Four residential lots on Tiger Lane could be rezoned from R-1 Residential to C Commercial to accommodate a potential Chick-fil-A project. This could change the character of the neighborhood, bring traffic and commercial activity near homes. The public hearing is the chance for residents to weigh in before the Commission acts.
Capital Improvement Program for water, wastewater, and drainage
A new advisory committee will work with city staff and engineers to build the capital improvements plan and study impact fees for future growth. The committee sunsets in two years and reports directly to the council.
City Manager Termination
The council met in closed session on the city manager's evaluation and pending grievances against him and a council member. Morones then moved to cancel his contract and dismiss him, but the motion died without a second.
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.
Robert McCain public records grievances
Resident Robert McCain says his June and July public information requests remain unanswered months later, and he calls his case a formal grievance alleging official misconduct — not the 'inquiry' the council handled in executive session.
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.
Events Center remodel
Market organizers and vendors say a conflicting November 28 event-center booking was outsourced out of town and fear the FEDC restructuring could end their monthly markets and move the Christmas parade.
Political sign regulations
New rules cap political signs at 36 square feet and 8 feet tall, ban right-of-way and utility pole placement, and require removal within 10 days after elections — no permit fee.
Peanut Festival council participation
A former councilwoman publicly challenged three council members for skipping the Peanut Festival, the city's biggest annual event that receives city funding.
City takeover/integration of FEDC functions
The council created a new Planning and Economic Development Department and clarified the city-FEDC relationship. FEDC board members and vendors packed the room opposing it, alleging Open Meetings Act violations, financial transparency gaps, and unlawful authority claims by the city manager.
