In last night’s City Council Meeting the top 14 names that were submitted for the naming of the park on Adler Road were kicked around and debated…the top one being Boerne Heritage Park, followed by Boerne Commons, and in effort to be more unique with a German touch Boerne Erbschaft which means “heritage” and also Volkspark / The People’s Park were also submitted.  And none of those 14 names were selected.

Well, if you know my friend Paul Giguere here in Boerne you know he’s a coach, a consultant and a huge passion for his faith-based volleyball club.  He called me yesterday with some exciting news from the road as the Hill Country Flow Volleyball Ladies were able to raise $9000 in business sponsorships to make the trip to Phoenix, and they play today!  Here’s Coach Tori and team from the road.

Awww….thank you ladies…and by the way while we’ll get to 91 today, 90 is the LOW today in Phoenix and the high is 109.

Boerne City Lake has recorded one of its most significant rises in the last quarter century, producing the third-largest one-week water level increase recorded at the lake in the past 26 years. Between June 14th and the 22nd, the lake rose almost 10 feet, setting the rise amongst the July 2002 floods and the May 2015 floods. Parks and Recreation Director Lizette Jimenez noted how excited the city was to start the summer with water levels this high, especially considering there were more than 200,000 guests who visited last year. 

Boerne’s efforts to preserve the Hill Country’s dark skies were highlighted at the recent Hill Country Dark Sky Conference in Fredericksburg. More than 75 leaders from across the region gathered to discuss ways to reduce light pollution and protect nighttime views. Boerne Environmental Program Manager Ryan Bass shared our city’s work on lighting regulations, public outreach, and infrastructure improvements aimed at preserving star-filled skies for future generations. 

And the Boerne Star reported that yesterday County Commissioners approved an architectural concept that will move the elections and Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 offices into the former Burdick Community Center on Old San Antonio Road.  However, the building is not large enough for The Veterans Service Center and Indigent Health and Housing offices.  Those two will remain at 126 Rosewood Avenue.
