Budget windfall could help fund 2nd fire station

BOERNE – City coffers runneth over this year after months of budget and bond planning, inching officials closer to funding a second fire station and stormwater drainage projects.

Officials said the amount comes to nearly $95,000, but coupled with federal grants and dollars, funding is now available for several municipal projects.

“As we do every year, the Boerne Finance Department and City Council continue to maintain a conservative budget,” city spokesman Chris Shadrock said. “In doing so for fiscal year 2022-23, we provide a lower tax rate, maintain all service levels, manage inflationary pressures and include limited expenditure growth.”
