Bulverde joined the Hill Country Mayors Alliance on Nov. 9, with annual dues capped at $100 and the mayor's alliance travel capped at $1,000 a year.
The council adopted the membership resolution and designated the mayor as the city's representative, according to the verified outcome from its meeting recording.
From the source record
The council amended it so the mayor must say when a position has not been adopted by council, and must report to council after each alliance meeting.Bulverde City Council meeting recording, Nov. 9, 2026 ↗
The mayor must identify positions the council has not adopted and report to the council after each alliance meeting. That rule gives residents a way to distinguish what the mayor hears or says at the alliance from a position Bulverde's council has approved.
The Nov. 9 agenda had proposed alliance participation, annual dues and limits on the city's financial obligations. The recorded action supplies the outcome: membership was approved with the two annual spending caps and the reporting rule. The $100 and $1,000 figures are ceilings, not a statement of what the city has spent.
The next useful check is the mayor's report after an alliance meeting. Residents can use the council's recorded action to compare any reported alliance position with a position the council has actually adopted.
