It’s Wednesday April 23rd. 

Robert Oppenheimer was born on this day in 1904 - he’s the American physicist known as the father of the atomic bomb. The movie grossed $330 million domestically, and made almost a billion dollars world wide.  It did not bomb.

The City Council Meeting was last night, and here are some of the highlights. The council heard about the changes being made to the mowing contract for this summer, which includes added areas maintained by the parks department and TXDot, increased mowing frequency and preserving wildflowers until Father’s Day. They also got an update on the rebate opportunities granted to Boerne-ites for taking conservation efforts; 52 people qualified for rebates this year because of their irrigation system consultation. There is a new rebate option that would get you $150 off your water bill if you replace 200 square feet of turf grass with a drought tolerant landscape. 

Water was also a topic with potential new restrictions at each level….and 

TXDot has also approved the funding for traffic signal illuminated sign upgrades.
