Mayor Pro Tem Keith Roden on May 7 gave a public recap of the Fair Oaks Ranch City Council meeting, outlining proclamations, awards, infrastructure plans and the council's approval of the city's 2026 strategic plan.
Roden said the mayor issued two proclamations: designating the week of May 17'20 for Public Works Appreciation Week and May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day during Police Week. Roden described two five-year service awards presented by Lieutenant Manny Casas to Police Corporal Hayden Griffiths and Police Officer Iris Cabas, and he recognized Michael De Hoyos as the city's employee of the quarter. "Great job, Michael," Roden said.
The council considered a donated bronze war memorial statue by resident artist Mary Ann Corricelli, which Roden said is valued at $4,200 including the granite base and installation. He said the statue will be displayed at Peachtree on the Parkway in coordination with the Fair Oaks Homeowners Association and is slated to be unveiled June 29.
On infrastructure, Roden described discussion of an interlocal agreement with the city of Boerne to extend a GBRA waterline to a new elevated storage tank adjacent to Boerne's tank. He said the arrangement would make Fair Oaks Ranch responsible for 31% of the $2,200,000 construction cost; construction is expected to begin this summer and to finish by year end, ahead of the planned Ammon Road reconstruction project.
Roden said the council approved the city's 2026 strategic plan and thanked residents for their input. He relayed comments from resident Chris Depp urging more public education about water conservation and drought management and urged residents to watch the city's website for the final plan. "Keep a lookout on the city's website for the full and final plan," Roden said.
The council also reviewed two workshop items: the fiscal 2026'27 budget calendar (the process begins in June and finishes in September) and a five-year financial forecast used to inform budgeting beyond the coming year. Roden reported a quarterly investment report presented by Summer Fleming and a report on 2026'27 boards, commissions and committees; residents interested in serving were directed to the city's website.
Roden closed with routine announcements: fawning season has begun and residents should leave lone fawns alone because the mother is likely nearby; drivers were urged to be cautious because deer activity is elevated. He said early voting for runoff elections runs May 18'20 and that Bexar County voters may cast ballots at the police department next to City Hall. Roden also said the city's America's 250th anniversary activities begin June 27 with a parade and will conclude July 4 with a fireworks and laser show at the Fair Oaks Ranch Country Club. He noted the May 21 council meeting was canceled to accommodate early voting in council chambers.
For more details or documents, Roden invited residents to contact the mayor, city council members or city staff.
