Bulverde City Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chamber, 30360 Cougar Bend, with Zoom participation available.
The speed-limit proposals are the broadest potential change on the posted agenda: one concerns city streets generally, and the other singles out Edgebrook. Residents who want to inspect the official listing can search the Bulverde agenda portal for the Oct. 13 City Council meeting.
Speed limits could change
The posted agenda describes a 35 mph general maximum speed limit on city streets. Item 4.D proposes lowering that general maximum to 30 mph and setting a 25 mph limit on all public streets in Edgebrook. The proposals are listed as two ordinances, so the citywide change and the Edgebrook rule are separate questions for council consideration. Drivers on public streets in Edgebrook would face a 25 mph limit if that ordinance passes. Residents elsewhere on city streets would be affected by the proposed general limit if council adopts it.
Council is scheduled to discuss and consider possible approval of both speed-limit ordinances under item 4.D. The posted item does not itself enact either limit. For residents weighing the proposals, the useful questions are which streets the city classifies as city streets, why Edgebrook has a separate proposed limit, and what evidence officials will present when the item is heard.
Parks, permits and council work
Item 4.A proposes moving the Nov. 10 regular council meeting to Nov. 9. Residents planning to attend that November meeting should watch for the council’s action and the next official posting before changing their plans. Items 4.B and 4.C ask council to consider city park permit requests for the Bulverde Turkey Trot and Holiday Hunger Run/Walk. Those requests concern permission to use park space; the agenda alone does not supply a decision on either event.
Item 4.E asks council to consider park improvements recommended by the Parks, Recreation and Tree Advisory Board. The agenda identifies the recommending body, but the retained meeting record does not provide an itemized project list or cost estimate. Residents interested in particular park facilities can use the item number when following the discussion and any later council record. Item 4.F schedules discussion of the scope, mission and deliverables for the legislative, infrastructure and comprehensive plan committees. That discussion could shape what those committees bring back to council, though the agenda states no final assignments or deliverable dates.
Consent business and reports
The consent agenda includes approval of Sept. 8 and Sept. 22 minutes and ratification of the April 28 approval and adoption of Ordinance 849. The ratification is a proposed Oct. 13 action concerning an earlier council action; it should not be read as a fresh April 28 vote. The agenda schedules domestic violence and night sky proclamations, plus police, finance, public works and parks reports. Items 1 and 9 are the meeting opening and adjournment.
Public comment and possible legal action
The agenda offers general public comment under item 5 and comment on posted items as they are considered, with a three-minute presentation limit. Someone focused on a speed-limit ordinance, park request or other posted matter can therefore follow that item’s turn on the agenda. Item 6 allows reports on items of community interest.
Item 7.A gives notice of possible closed attorney consultations concerning Bulverde v. Garza, Cook v. Bulverde and PUC docket 60076. This is notice of a possible private consultation, not a public decision. Item 8.A reserves possible public action on those three matters. Any action would need to be established from the meeting’s later public record, with its precise wording and disposition.
What to check next
The next verification point is the Oct. 13 council meeting and its resulting public record: whether either speed-limit ordinance passes, changes or remains pending; how council handles the park and committee items; and whether any public action follows the listed attorney consultations. The Oct. 13 City Council listing in the Bulverde agenda portal is the starting record for readers who want to follow each numbered item.
