A Municipal Boundary Agreement with the City of Kirby.
SUMMARY:
A public hearing and resolution recommending approval a request from the City of Kirby for the City of San Antonio to adjust its municipal boundary by releasing three tracts of land, approximately 0.145 square miles or 93.1 acres, to the City of Kirby.
