In addition to three open city council seats
Balcones Heights voters will have a proposition on the ballot that could change the face of the police officers’ union in the city
Residents will consider “Proposition A.” If passed
Proposition A would end the Balcones Heights Police Officers Association’s collective bargaining rights
Four propositions will go before voters in Boerne
One of those propositions would introduce new three-year term limits for the city’s mayor and city council members
voters in other Bexar County cities such as Kirby and Von Ormy will also search for their next mayors

FAIR OAKS RANCH
Texas – Two veteran supervisors with the Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department have been fired after an investigation revealed they participated in harassment
discipline records obtained by KSAT Investigates show
following a probe by an outside investigator
The terminations are the latest shake-up of the department
which has been hampered by claims of a toxic work culture in recent years
Ojeda and Griffin this summer were notified they were being placed under investigation
The investigation later determined that both officers had committed multiple violations of department policy
who had worked for Fair Oaks Ranch PD since 2007
was cited for six policy violations including sexual or illegal harassment
inappropriate and unwanted physical contact that was sexual in nature
failing to treat colleagues with respect and comments or expressions that derided
demeaned or ridiculed individuals based on race
Ojeda was also cited for not truthfully answering questions during the investigation
but wrote under his signature that he did not agree with the findings
who had worked for Fair Oaks Ranch PD since 2014
was cited for eight policy violations including sexual or illegal harassment
failing to refrain from participating in or encouraging actions that could be perceived as harassment or discrimination
creating an illegal and hostile work environment
failing to take corrective action when a rules violation was brought to his attention and failing to remain alert
Griffin was also cited for not truthfully answering questions during the investigation
An attorney who represents both Ojeda and Griffin told KSAT Monday
“Both men have exemplary records at that department for many years
They are both adamantly denying any wrongdoing and are going to exercise all of their legal remedies related to their terminations.”
The termination of the two supervisors came weeks after Todd Smith was named interim chief of the department
Asked for comment about the officer firings
Fair Oaks Ranch City Manager Scott Huizenga told KSAT via email:
“Chief Todd Smith was appointed to his position in August
He is a former Assistant Chief of Police in Austin and brings a wealth of experience and a philosophy of Servant Leadership to our department
Chief Smith recently evaluated the conclusions of an internal investigation
which was initiated prior to his appointment
and terminated two officers from their positions with the department
Chief Smith has moved forward with steps to build on the success of our department through a process of continuous improvement
Thanks to the hard work of our officers our community has consistently ranked among the 50 safest cities in Texas
These honors reflect the values of our community and the dedication of the men and women who serve us in law enforcement
Our police department is recognized for Best Practices by the Texas Police Chiefs Association (TPCA)
Our officers continue to be involved in the community with programs such as Cafeteria Cops
Back the Badge 5K and the Junior Police Academy
The dedicated officers of the Fair Oaks Ranch police department remain unwavering in their commitment to protecting and serving our community.”
Smith was appointed to the position after the retirement of chief Tim Moring
Moring’s retirement came amid an ongoing lawsuit filed against the city by a former officer early this year
Lacey Gonzalez, a six-year veteran of Fair Oaks Ranch PD who was terminated last October after detailing a number of complaints against Moring
sued the city under the Texas Whistleblower Act
claiming she was subjected to “prolonged dangerous and abusive behavior” from Moring
Gonzalez’ suit also accuses both Griffin and Ojeda of being hostile and abusive toward her in the workplace
Moring was placed on paid administrative leave after Gonzalez filed her internal complaint last summer
He was reinstated to his command post last October
after an outside investigation determined the allegations against Moring were unfounded or not sustained
Gonzalez was terminated four days prior to Moring’s reinstatement
Separately, ex-Fair Oaks Ranch PD investigator Richard Davila filed suit against Fair Oaks Ranch in 2021, claiming he was wrongfully terminated
That case included details from a July 2020 incident in which Davila said Moring and Ojeda
entered the property room without proper authority
Moring then disposed of evidence using a court order from a previous year
Davila was removed from being in charge of the property room
his investigation files were transferred and he was reassigned to city hall
The city and Davila settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money earlier this year

Texas – The chief of the Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department has formally stepped down from his position
In an announcement posted to the city’s website and social media late last week
officials thanked Chief Tim Moring for his nearly two decades of service to the department
The retirement of Moring comes amid an ongoing lawsuit filed against the city by a former officer earlier this year
which noted that Gonzalez has exhausted her appeals for reinstatement to the department
largely mirrored a 14-page internal complaint she filed against Moring last summer
Among the suit’s accusations against Moring:
He was reinstated to his command post in October
Gonzalez’s legal filing was the latest filing that called into question the actions of Moring
who led the small department located northwest of San Antonio since 2020
Ex-Investigator Richard Davila filed suit against Fair Oaks Ranch in 2021, claiming he was wrongfully terminated
That case included details from a July 2020 incident in which Davila said Moring and a sergeant entered the property room without proper authority
a former assistant chief with the Austin Police Department
has been named interim chief of Fair Oaks Ranch PD
Construction on FM 3351 has been ongoing as TxDOT constructs a bridge over Cibolo Creek
The Texas Department of Transportation is making headway on critically needed improvements to the FM 3351 corridor
The corridor limits on FM 3351 are from I-10 to SH 46
The expansion of FM 3351 within these limits is listed in the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) “Mobility 2040” as a critical piece of the transportation network
Capacity improvements are needed to help relieve congestion and improve access issues along FM 3351
Several concepts that could address capacity
and mobility challenges within the study limits have emerged from initial studies
TxDOT is now moving forward with four separate projects on FM 3351 within these limits
Schedules outlining the major milestones of the project development process
can be found on the proposed project pages hyperlinked above
Please include “Updates on FM 3351” in the subject line.
