The overview
Director of Operations Nick Montagno said the plan was introduced in 2021 with the goal of consolidating all of the strategic plans and documents.
“We bring this document forward every year to help staff as they begin the process of developing the budget,” he said.
While the plan does not bind the city to specific projects, it serves as a guide for city leaders, developers, staff and the community, and highlights goals for city projects that can be accomplished over the next 10 years, according to the plan.
The rolling plan includes sections of the following long-term planning documents:
- Boerne 2018 Master Plan
- City of Boerne Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan
- Patrick Heath Public Library Master Plan
- Boerne Master Drainage Plan
- Boerne Mobility Master Plan
- Arts and Culture Strategic Plan
“This plan gives the city a strategic path forward for specific quality of life initiatives related to Boerne’s arts and culture,” Montagno said.
According to the agenda documents, one of the main changes between this rolling plan and previous versions is the inclusion of the Arts and Culture Master Plan, which lists around 20 projects for the city, bringing the total number of projects within the plan to 69.
Of the 20 actionable items, nine have budget implications over the next few years, Montagno said.
Moving forward
In the 2024 plan, the city had 55 ongoing projects, 27 completed projects and 70 projects that were planned or prioritized for funding.
Going into the 2025 plan, the city has 60 ongoing projects, 40 completed projects and the 69 projects that are planned or prioritized for funding.
The city is also in the process of creating a downtown plan, which will be added to the rolling 10-year plan in the coming years.
