Your new issue of the Boerne Star is out today, and here are some of the headlines. 

Comfort High School's Allie Esser outshot 467 competitors to claim the title of 2026 Civilian Marksmanship Program Texas 3PAR State Champion. 

35 year Boerne resident Charles Karulak is the new president of the Kendall County Republican Club as Rich Sena remains as the first vice president-programs.

There was a City Council Meeting held last night, and here are some of the highlights. Whitley Penn has been helping conduct an audit of the City of Boerne for the 2025 fiscal year, and found that we increased our net position to 108 million. In total, we saw an increase in funds of 17.1 million overall last year. There was also an overview of the Safe Streets for All Program, which aims to eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes through comprehensive planning. Currently, the City is hoping to receive federal funding for the planning portion of this project, and then eventually apply for grants to build. As of now, 73% of crashes in Boerne occur on 15% of our roadways, so there must be infrastructural issues that can be worked on to prevent these problems. 

The council also reviewed how our City would celebrate our country’s 250th birthday this July. As of now, they plan to decorate Main and Veterans’ Plaza with lighting and pole mounts, as well as grand flags and decor at City Hall. There will be fireworks displayed on July 4th, and for the first time ever there will be patriotic music accompanying the show. Other celebrations will include a Free Family night at the pool, tie-dye days, and an ice cream social. 

Starting tomorrow, the City of Fair Oaks Ranch will be reducing traffic on the Cibolo Creek Bridge in order to remove the concrete traffic barriers. The work is expected to take place between 8 am to 5 pm on Thursday and Friday, and will reduce traffic to one lane under the guidance of a flagger and law enforcement. Motorists are advised to expect delays and are asked to drive safely through construction zones.
