During a recent government meeting, community members voiced concerns regarding the maintenance of common areas in their neighborhood, emphasizing the need for increased support from the city. A representative from the homeowners association (HOA) highlighted that if the HOA were to dissolve, the city would be responsible for maintaining approximately 3 to 4 acres of common property, which could lead to a decline in property values. The representative expressed gratitude for the city's past assistance in addressing issues, including a recent incident involving improper parking.

Additionally, the meeting featured two letters of support for local business owners, Julie and Rick Shepherd, who operate Dreamsicle Cottage in Cibolo. Karl Anthony Garza, owner of Catalano's Pizzeria, praised the Shepherds for their role in driving customers to his establishment, noting that their business contributes positively to local sales tax revenue. Richie Hilburn, a bar owner and long-time friend of the Shepherds, echoed this sentiment, crediting them with encouraging his expansion into the Cibolo area and highlighting their support for local businesses.

The discussions underscored the interconnectedness of community support and local business success, as well as the ongoing challenges faced by residents in maintaining their neighborhood's standards.
