2024 International Fire Code adoption

Riverside Pride Event at the Seguin Events Complex
The October 2026 Pride booking at the Coliseum drew more than two hours of public testimony split between supporters and opponents. The city attorney explained the lease was executed by staff under content-neutral rules, that available information indicates no SB 12 violation, and that the council has no scheduled vote on the matter.
Public Safety Policy
Seguin is sending local police to help with the state's border security mission, which means fewer officers on our streets and a potential shake-up of our city budget. It’s a big move that shifts our local resources toward a state-level political priority.
