Hill Country Village voters who cast a ballot in the city’s Nov. 7 special election overwhelmingly approved two measures designed to provide funding to a planned new City Hall.
What happened
According to unofficial early voting and Election Day totals from Bexar County, 77.8% of voters favored Proposition B, which would authorize the city to redirect up to $3 million in unspent funds from the city’s 2019 road improvement bond toward building a new municipal complex.

County election totals showed 79.4% of voters supported Proposition C, which would let the town sell a 14-acre city-owned tract at Bitters Road and Tower Drive for residential development. Local officials said land sale proceeds would go toward replacing the existing City Hall structure at 116 Aspen Lane.
Voting totals also showed 89% of voters in favor of Proposition A, which would allow Hill Country Village to reauthorize one-half of 1% of its sales tax rate to continue funding street maintenance.
What they're saying?
Mayor Gabriel Durand-Hollis told Community Impact that it will take awhile for the city to market the 14-acre parcel and repurpose the leftover street bond proceeds into a City Hal project. Additionally, consulting architects will need time to refine their designs for a replacement municipal complex, Durand-Hollis.
Durand-Hollis also said continued community input will be important going forward.
"I'm pleased we can move forward and improve our facilities. I'm happy we could reach a consensus on a City Hall although it took awhile," he added.
