Comal County commissioners approved a Canyon Lake-area property exchange, accepted completed work at Vogel Dam and authorized donated roofing services for Jumbo Evans Sports Park during their Sept. 10 meeting. The county's Sept. 10 agenda preview identified those decisions before the meeting.
The court approved an order exchanging the county-owned property at 1345 Sattler Road for property at 1398 FM 2673 and authorized the county judge to execute the necessary documents. The decision permits the judge to complete the paperwork needed for the exchange.
The agenda scheduled the Sept. 10 regular meeting for 8:30 a.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom at 100 Main Plaza in New Braunfels. Its action list ranged from weekly claims and subdivision changes to contracts, road names and three departmental budget transfers.
Land, roads and public facilities
The court held a public hearing on the proposed cancellation of two Stallion Springs lots; no member of the public spoke. The court approved Order 571 granting cancellation of lots 239 and 240 in Stallion Springs Unit 2. The court approved the plat amendment combining lots 4 and 5 of Spring Branch Estates Unit 1, Block 3, as lot 4R and authorized the county judge to sign.
The court approved Sherlock Circle as the name of a private road near Watson Lane East. The court approved Russell Road, spelled with two Ls, as the name of a private road in the 1400 block of Cypress Cove Road. Earlier reporting examined the Russell Road spelling conflict in the pre-meeting records.
The court acknowledged completion of specified Mayfair North and South construction work and released the associated surety construction bonds. That action covered the two related Mayfair items as a single recorded approval.
The court accepted the improvements to Vogel Dam and released the associated surety. Comal.News previously detailed the two reviews that preceded the Vogel Dam acceptance.
The court approved the agreement accepting donated roofing services for improvements to Jumbo Evans Sports Park and authorized the county judge to sign. A separate report explains the documented scope of the Jumbo Evans roof donation.
Preservation, contracts and county accounts
The court approved a professional services contract with HHM and Associates for the Churchill School National Register nomination and authorized the county judge to sign. The earlier Church Hill School report describes the preservation project's proposed stages and schedule.
The court awarded the executive recruitment services contract, excluding the work authorization pages, and authorized the county purchasing agent to execute it. The exclusion makes the executed contract and any later work authorization the next records needed to establish the assignment and cost.
The court approved the claims presented for September 10, 2026. The court accepted the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce Serve and Protect fundraiser donation to the Sheriff's Office. The court accepted the tax assessor-collector's monthly collection report for August 2026.
The court approved a full release of the public improvement district lien on Vintage Oaks at the Vineyard 24, lot 52, and authorized its execution and filing. That action allows the approved release to proceed to the county's filing record.

The court approved transferring Justice of the Peace 2 funds from continuing education and travel to copier lease and maintenance. The court approved transferring Justice of the Peace 3 funds from interpreter services to continuing education and travel for the remainder of 2026.
Recovery and hunger proclamations

The court adopted a proclamation recognizing September 2026 as Hunger Action Month in Comal County. A San Antonio and New Braunfels Food Bank representative discussed volunteer and community support for addressing hunger and thanked the county.

Citizen comments

A speaker discussed potential benefits of artificial intelligence, including faster, more accurate, and less expensive medical applications. The reviewed recording identifies these as public comments, not findings or actions by the court.
