1
00:01:40,050 --> 00:02:00,650
March, we have today, council, we have a mayor for the day. In March, she is going in the fourth grade tomorrow, and here at Edge Elementary. So, in just a few minutes, the fire department is going to come get her and take her on a tour, and then she will take a tour of the police department. And she's going to meet us back there, either in here or in the council chambers.

2
00:02:00,650 --> 00:02:02,970
Thank you for being so.

3
00:02:03,810 --> 00:02:04,190
All right.

4
00:02:04,690 --> 00:02:05,690
Thank you, ma'am.

5
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:06,310
Yes.

6
00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:08,650
Today is August 11th.

7
00:02:09,310 --> 00:02:10,910
It is 6 o'clock.

8
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:13,890
This is the early work session on how the city council.

9
00:02:14,350 --> 00:02:18,750
We are going to get started with an update on federal emergency management agencies.

10
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:21,410
National flood insurance program.

11
00:02:21,950 --> 00:02:23,350
Community ratings system.

12
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:52,140
I am very excited, this is my jam, like, very excited about this, I used to teach fun to do this, I am nervous, and I am raised in energy and loves it again.

13
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,200
Don't let her ask questions.

14
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:01,260
We still have a bunch of it, so we should have come up there.

15
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:01,900
All right.

16
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Well, thank you, Mayor, for the day, and Council members.

17
00:03:05,940 --> 00:03:07,020
I appreciate your time.

18
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:11,140
So the first couple of slides are kind of a reminder of where we came from,

19
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,000
and then I'll get into where we are now.

20
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,160
So the CRS stands for the Community Rating Service System,

21
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,840
and we have actually been preparing for this program since 2010.

22
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:35,700
It's similar to the fire insurance rating system, but it determines your flood insurance premium discount and the things that the city does to help reduce the flood risk.

23
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:49,440
Village, you're not ensuring the quicker.

24
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:50,920
On

25
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,100
the side, you turn on.

26
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,800
Thank you.

27
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,220
Thank you.

28
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Thanks.

29
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:07,600
It takes a billion.

30
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:13,940
So, in at the beginning of fiscal year 2526,

31
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,980
and staff came to council and asked during the,

32
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:29,420
asked during the budget process for $22,000 for one-time cost for consulting services to help jumpstart us into the program.

33
00:04:29,420 --> 00:04:33,040
And at the time, this is still current data.

34
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,620
Currently, we have 596 residential properties

35
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:37,120
in the special flood hazard area,

36
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:39,820
and over 60 insurance policies in the city.

37
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,980
The 60 insurance policies actually,

38
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:43,740
I think is a little bit low,

39
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,940
and we're working on getting updated data.

40
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,760
With the community rating service,

41
00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:53,300
if we get a level of seven or better,

42
00:04:53,580 --> 00:04:55,400
you get as much as a 15% discount,

43
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:56,640
the residents can save.

44
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,520
that's an average of $408 on their flood insurance policy.

45
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,420
We've had 21 flood claims have been paid since 2011.

46
00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:05,820
There's a lot of data in here.

47
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,540
I'll kind of skip through the discountifies

48
00:05:07,540 --> 00:05:09,860
to any flood insurance policy in our village,

49
00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:13,080
regardless of whether they're in the special flood hazard video

50
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,840
or out.

51
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,400
And then over time, we can continue to improve that discount

52
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,820
to the savings to the residents.

53
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:22,000
We're going to pay for itself in the first year

54
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,920
with an estimated average of $24,000 in 480.

55
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,520
We are 24,480 dollars in savings.

56
00:05:31,420 --> 00:05:34,420
Our current timeline so the city did engage with the L.A.N.

57
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,200
Incorporated for a professional services.

58
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,040
We started meeting in preparing documents in November.

59
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,260
We were so excited.

60
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,780
We met with FEMA virtually during our little ice storm because they couldn't travel.

61
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:45,540
We couldn't travel.

62
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,160
We were all able to meet virtually so that was really nice to do preliminary assessment and

63
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,160
then everything shut down.

64
00:05:51,740 --> 00:05:54,040
And then the program went into a freeze.

65
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:01,140
We were told by both the community rating service representative and by our professional

66
00:06:01,140 --> 00:06:05,260
service representative that they don't know if the program was going to be continued.

67
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:08,660
It went on a hiatus, it went through revamping.

68
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,560
We thought this was going to be a multi-year process.

69
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,280
And then I got an email back in June saying, hey, we're back up and running and you have

70
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:23,200
60 days to get all your documentation and so we had the crowd running because I didn't want to lose

71
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:29,340
this window because I didn't know if there would be another one. So we had our community assisted

72
00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:36,140
on-site visit which was once called a cab. They've now renamed it to an audit on August 6th. Our 30-day

73
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:42,060
letter was issued yesterday and so the shop const or so. One of the things that one of the biggest

74
00:06:42,060 --> 00:06:48,220
things that I need your help with is that we need to make changes to our 2011 ordinances,

75
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,260
ordinances to our floodplain ordinance to get the most credit out of it. We already got a lot of

76
00:06:54,260 --> 00:06:59,440
credit for the things that were already in it, but if we tweak some of the language and improve some

77
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,660
of the definitions, we could get even more credit.

78
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,100
So this ordinance was officially adopted in

79
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:16,720
or would April 12, 2011, the same time we adopted our firm maps, the firm stands for federal insurance

80
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:24,920
rep maps. And the ordinance also gave permission for the creation of a certified flood lane manager

81
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,160
position and provided governance for said position and created higher standards for planned

82
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:37,060
risk reduction. The city attorney had copied the ordinance in 2012. The CRS rep reviewed and made

83
00:07:37,060 --> 00:07:43,620
recommendations in July. Kevin, I'm going to actually get Kevin a couple of shout-outs through

84
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:49,240
this entire process. This is shout-out number one, but there will be many to come. I have Kevin some

85
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:57,940
side dinner and frosty beverage of his choice because he reviewed all of the changes that the FEMA

86
00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:05,800
representatives recommended. He also reviewed my changes and had that all back to us by August 7th to

87
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,500
to be in the packet.

88
00:08:09,570 --> 00:08:15,290
And here we are. Okay, there's a lot of stuff here. But I wanted you

89
00:08:15,290 --> 00:08:20,370
all to know every place where we had revised it. And a lot of cases, it was really kind

90
00:08:20,370 --> 00:08:26,210
of small, just an insert of some language here, some clarification of language here. We

91
00:08:26,210 --> 00:08:31,490
were already had two feet above the base flood elevation, which is considered a higher standard.

92
00:08:31,490 --> 00:08:45,070
We just needed to add the machinery so we did not have the AC units and all the machinery

93
00:08:45,070 --> 00:08:50,710
had to be two feet above the base flood elevation as well, so we were already regulating

94
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:53,650
to that higher standard but we didn't have it stated in the ordinance.

95
00:08:54,110 --> 00:08:57,470
Every change that we made here, we were already doing in practice.

96
00:08:57,470 --> 00:09:03,330
So this was a way to align the ordinance with what we were already doing.

97
00:09:04,290 --> 00:09:08,430
To find regulatory, to find and regulate accessory structures.

98
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:15,770
So do we do not, as practice, allow for any residential structures to be built in the existing special flood hazard area.

99
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:21,830
But we do allow for accessory storage structures as long as those storage structures meet our higher standards.

100
00:09:22,370 --> 00:09:25,370
And so, that in the nutshell is what we did here.

101
00:09:38,380 --> 00:09:44,100
So it's on a scale of 10 being you just filled out the paperwork and one being the best.

102
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,280
There's only about seven or eight cities in the entire country that have a one.

103
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:54,500
So most cities come in somewhere between a nine and an eight, but with all the things

104
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:58,740
that we were doing for higher standards, I really thought we could get to a seven and to

105
00:09:58,740 --> 00:10:03,220
be honest, we actually had enough points to come in as a six.

106
00:10:03,860 --> 00:10:06,340
The only thing we didn't have to make it to a safe,

107
00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:09,100
and that can be something we could put into a future project,

108
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,200
is we've got two minimum requirements,

109
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,440
and that was our uniform building codes needed

110
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,860
to be 2021 or higher.

111
00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:17,480
And then our community services division needed

112
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,400
to have a building code effectiveness grading,

113
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:21,040
which is kind of like what we're going through

114
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:25,540
for the flooding side, or with the fire department goes,

115
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,960
or even police department, they have a whole grading system

116
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,400
for what community services and the building officials could go through there.

117
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:33,880
So, we're going to go quick on that first one.

118
00:10:34,420 --> 00:10:34,540
Yes.

119
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,980
How quickly can we get that one not off if they're good with it because price they're ready

120
00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:48,320
to go and we're planning on probably presenting them for the option here within this couple

121
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,180
of council meetings.

122
00:10:49,540 --> 00:10:50,340
That is great.

123
00:10:50,580 --> 00:10:55,080
That'll give us a few more points but it won't jump us up to it because we've got to have

124
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,280
that.

125
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:57,260
Thank you.

126
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:06,860
Okay, so we have 30 days as of yesterday to provide proof of everything that we said in

127
00:11:06,860 --> 00:11:09,840
our presentation last week.

128
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,060
And this ordinance is part of that process.

129
00:11:13,020 --> 00:11:17,220
We will of course work with communications and see secretaries office to advertise our

130
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:21,640
entrance into the program and how residents can apply for their insurance discounts.

131
00:11:22,220 --> 00:11:24,620
We'll continue to expand and document our outreach.

132
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:29,240
Which, that's the thing that they really, really loved was how much outreach we currently

133
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,180
did, especially in all of our flyers, all of our social media posts.

134
00:11:34,420 --> 00:11:35,880
We got a lot of points for that.

135
00:11:36,540 --> 00:11:40,740
And they were very impressed with everything that we had on the website, all of the work

136
00:11:40,740 --> 00:11:44,040
that Carmen had done to put a lot of fluid information on there.

137
00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:49,920
And they just had kudos of accolades for all of the things that we were currently doing.

138
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,260
They were very impressed with what our current program was.

139
00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:57,860
So you'll see a little bit more outreach, so one of the things they recommended is for

140
00:11:57,860 --> 00:12:02,080
like the TX fallen officers will probably partner with the parts department to have a

141
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:07,720
booth out there and have additional flyers and pamphlets at the community that will get

142
00:12:08,180 --> 00:12:08,900
points for that.

143
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:11,940
If you'll notice in every one of the buildings now, we all have pamphlets.

144
00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:16,180
If you walked in, if you've seen all of the flood pamphlets that, you know, we had available

145
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:21,480
right now on every single surface that we could put in there, so thanks to the parts department

146
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,100
for letting us put them there and public works as well.

147
00:12:24,340 --> 00:12:26,640
So we actually get additional points for every single building

148
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:28,660
that we have that information out.

149
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:31,680
And there is an online review every year

150
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:34,320
and then on site visits every five years.

151
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,200
And then we can decide if we wanted to pursue

152
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,840
that prior to my practitioner discounts.

153
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,260
And I want to give a huge shout out.

154
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,400
This would not be possible without council support

155
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,060
and you are helping take the initiative last year

156
00:12:48,060 --> 00:12:50,080
and I want to hire the professional services.

157
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,460
I will say not have been able to make this window without their help.

158
00:12:55,140 --> 00:13:01,020
I mean, they were valuable in helping us go through the checklist, making sure everything

159
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:03,560
we had met all of the requirements.

160
00:13:04,180 --> 00:13:07,220
Honestly, we could not have done that without their assistance.

161
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,820
Community services, Kim, Autumn Gary Clark, Carmen DeVee, heavy lifting, all of the mapping,

162
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:19,020
all of the analysis, all the website information could not have done that.

163
00:13:19,020 --> 00:13:22,540
all of this without her Lori and Jenny, Scott,

164
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,440
Landon, Scott Green with Fire Department,

165
00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:26,100
because even the Fire Department had to be involved

166
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:30,680
because we needed to use their emergency management plan,

167
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,420
action plan, and flooding as a flood recovery

168
00:13:35,420 --> 00:13:38,000
is one of those tabletop exercises

169
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,900
and so will they talk about them as well.

170
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,420
And then of course Angie,

171
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,640
you can find out what being being tracked down ordinances

172
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:49,000
and signatures and then I cannot stress how much

173
00:13:49,020 --> 00:13:51,920
Kevin did in literally 48 hours.

174
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:54,700
I mean, I was firing back, oh, then they said this,

175
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,960
and they said this, and they said this,

176
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:58,300
the camera's like, got it, got it, got it, got it.

177
00:13:58,620 --> 00:14:01,140
And then when I tried to type what I wanted to say,

178
00:14:01,260 --> 00:14:03,420
he was like, okay, just tell me what you're trying to do.

179
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,640
And I'll make sure it gets in there properly.

180
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,840
And so, and of course, Paul, thank you for so much

181
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,280
for all the support, allowing us to take the classes

182
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,020
and allowing us to basically codify everything

183
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:21,720
we were already doing and get credit and be able to pass that credit to actual financial savings

184
00:14:22,380 --> 00:14:31,920
to the residents. Who is our CFM? We have two, we have three, actually CFMs, so you have myself,

185
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:37,040
you have Carmen, and then you have Lance and Drake. So we have lots of backup.

186
00:14:39,530 --> 00:14:43,930
It's not the ordinance that you can be talking about is part of the agenda tonight.

187
00:14:47,230 --> 00:14:52,970
Yes, the ordinance you have in front of you has all of those changes. I mean go back here

188
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:59,540
all of these changes and what what changes they were in which section

189
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,620
We made those changes to.

190
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:14,060
I didn't know we had, we did not, but we had that. We do not. Currently, have a.

191
00:15:17,980 --> 00:15:27,800
I mean, again, shout out to Kevin. I mean, it was hot off the press. I mean,

192
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,780
So then right after I got the information from our audit,

193
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:34,940
you know, I was typing everything out,

194
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,180
got it to Friday morning and kept in turn around that thing

195
00:15:38,180 --> 00:15:41,600
and got it into everybody else's amended packets.

196
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,460
So good to see you.

197
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,840
And Sonny's, Sonny's, you know,

198
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,680
granting me more credit than I really did.

199
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:53,320
I appreciate it, but you're not going to take credit.

200
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,240
I think I'll take some credit

201
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,280
for getting it for putting it on a priority list

202
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,400
because one thing is I wanted to make sure she got those updates before the authors came in on

203
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,900
Thursday, I guess. Yes. Yes. Yes.

204
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,700
So it was their statement. We, you know, had it ready to go to council for tonight or first reading.

205
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,360
But, you know, they weren't extensive. They are. I've done enough these over the years. The

206
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,140
ordinance thankfully was already in pretty good shape, even as old as it was.

207
00:16:20,140 --> 00:16:27,880
was, you know, and so that was good. But I, again, I appreciate the accolades, but I don't

208
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,360
know that it's just a, that a few so of that.

209
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,260
It's an, it was already a good shape and she, you know, she announced her good job, you

210
00:16:39,260 --> 00:16:41,560
know, getting it done. So I'm just going to use the eye.

211
00:16:42,660 --> 00:16:42,840
No.

212
00:17:00,660 --> 00:17:05,200
I don't know if we would have gotten another one for, I don't know how long, because even

213
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,800
the auditors were there were like, we don't know how long this window is going to be open,

214
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,960
And then that's why there was such pressure

215
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,700
to get it done as fast as we possibly could,

216
00:17:14,780 --> 00:17:17,540
because there's a potential that can shut it all down

217
00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:18,540
for reband again.

218
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,000
I will say one thing.

219
00:17:20,660 --> 00:17:24,020
I actually, I think, because you've got it to me Friday.

220
00:17:24,060 --> 00:17:26,120
I was thinking, I think I get this target on the hospital.

221
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:28,920
Oh, my God, you're making me feel you're worse.

222
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:29,300
OK.

223
00:17:29,820 --> 00:17:31,900
Your dinner's been upgraded to include dessert.

224
00:17:32,460 --> 00:17:33,920
I can't pass it over.

225
00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:34,500
I can't pass it over.

226
00:17:34,780 --> 00:17:35,460
They're not good.

227
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:53,060
Yeah, so are there any questions before things, firstly, Shake Shack, so for tomorrow's the work out if you'd like to, number two, just to clarify, make sure I'm 100% all of these are being added to the ordinance are things we were already doing, just now being officially added to the ordinance.

228
00:17:53,060 --> 00:17:57,140
It's a good thing because it's not going to hit residents and say, oh, here's new requirements.

229
00:17:57,140 --> 00:17:57,540
That's correct.

230
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:58,320
Absolutely.

231
00:17:58,700 --> 00:18:00,980
Everything we were already doing in practice,

232
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,720
but you don't get credit for it

233
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,620
if it isn't written down.

234
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:04,020
Right.

235
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,340
And so even having fit, I did buy a bus tomorrow.

236
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,980
I really wanted to make sure it was all written down

237
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:12,280
so that the practice continued and it didn't change.

238
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,060
Which is great.

239
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:15,720
Yeah, the two foot above BFE is really,

240
00:18:15,820 --> 00:18:17,440
is always a big ease, you know,

241
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,960
because I've done ordinances to other cities in the past

242
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,960
where they've been at one foot if that

243
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:31,340
and make a big jump. And then it impacts, you know, then when you make a jump

244
00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:37,700
between going from just basically to two foot above or in one to two, any

245
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:44,420
future additions to homes get impacted as well. And so that's, you know, so

246
00:18:44,420 --> 00:18:50,360
made your remodels, other than just in here, that may affect the foundation, get

247
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:56,860
impact it and so yeah it is already fortunate for you know long all these years and maybe

248
00:18:56,860 --> 00:19:07,060
before that was the practice to the BFB for your foundations so no negative impact only

249
00:19:07,060 --> 00:19:07,460
positive.

250
00:19:07,900 --> 00:19:12,960
Yes and you know my favorite quote comes from the Army Corps of Engineers as water does not

251
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:19,000
stop in a line on the map and so by having these higher standards and we do you know we

252
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,880
have a lot of beautiful residences that are along the lake shore and along our

253
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:29,620
trees and by having these higher standards it reduces their risk of

254
00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:33,680
potentially having worsened flood damage in the case of the flood.

255
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:40,480
I had four things when I'm keeping it to two. 75% of all floods do not happen in flood

256
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:40,840
zones.

257
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,760
35% of all flooding in the homes is outside of female regulated flood

258
00:19:47,760 --> 00:20:03,940
And so that's why we're working very closely with storm drain and getting those notices out to residents saying, hey, bag your leaves and grass clippings so they don't clog up the storm drains because clogging up the storm drains can increase localized

259
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:05,660
funding in your area.

260
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:16,480
So getting that message out, we were already getting that message out and just adding that one or two additional words to help reduce flood risk will give us additional points in the future.

261
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,590
Thank you.

262
00:20:20,970 --> 00:20:21,610
I'm open.

263
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:23,250
No, that's fine.

264
00:20:23,470 --> 00:20:25,350
Because I geek out on this too.

265
00:20:25,550 --> 00:20:26,830
I'm very passionate about it.

266
00:20:27,690 --> 00:20:30,090
And you will see me give more talk about this.

267
00:20:30,170 --> 00:20:32,750
Because like I said, the more community outreach that we do.

268
00:20:33,550 --> 00:20:34,730
The more points we get.

269
00:20:34,890 --> 00:20:38,930
But obviously, the whole point is to educate our residents.

270
00:20:39,210 --> 00:20:44,190
I don't know if you have seen this recently, but Carmen did a lot of analysis and work.

271
00:20:44,730 --> 00:20:48,090
And the committee was extremely proud of this.

272
00:20:48,090 --> 00:20:51,630
but we showed where all of the homes are below street level.

273
00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:55,250
And there's an interactive map where you can type in your address

274
00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:57,970
and you can kind of see how far you are below street level.

275
00:20:58,250 --> 00:21:01,010
Because like you said, one of the majority things about flooding

276
00:21:01,010 --> 00:21:04,370
is it may not come from the creek, it may come from the infrastructure.

277
00:21:05,030 --> 00:21:08,090
So knowing that your home is below the infrastructure can help you

278
00:21:08,090 --> 00:21:11,630
make a better informed decision about hearing concerns.

279
00:21:11,890 --> 00:21:14,570
Can you go back a slide or two please?

280
00:21:14,570 --> 00:21:21,450
We mentioned in one of these, there are 596 properties I think.

281
00:21:21,970 --> 00:21:24,470
Yes, so 596 properties.

282
00:21:24,810 --> 00:21:24,970
Okay.

283
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:31,970
So we counted every property that was currently completely in the special flood hazard area

284
00:21:31,970 --> 00:21:35,210
or touched the special flood hazard area in GIS.

285
00:21:35,530 --> 00:21:39,590
So it was very easy to say, oh, this is property in line touching this area.

286
00:21:39,610 --> 00:21:43,050
So we put a lot of structure just into the property line.

287
00:21:43,150 --> 00:21:43,350
Correct.

288
00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:48,010
the structures we are less than a hundred structures actually touched a special

289
00:21:48,010 --> 00:21:50,270
plant after 60 that you referenced then.

290
00:21:50,830 --> 00:21:55,630
No, so the average was 60 flood insurance policies that's how many people

291
00:21:55,630 --> 00:22:00,070
and again the state is a little bit old and so talking with our auditors they're

292
00:22:00,070 --> 00:22:04,630
going to try and get us more relevant and newer data but at the time of the data

293
00:22:04,630 --> 00:22:11,150
that we had only 60 properties had filed a flood insurance claim or no 60

294
00:22:11,150 --> 00:22:13,290
property's had flood insurance in the city.

295
00:22:13,610 --> 00:22:13,810
I'm sorry.

296
00:22:13,970 --> 00:22:15,390
I didn't get all this news.

297
00:22:15,710 --> 00:22:15,990
Correct.

298
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:16,350
Yeah.

299
00:22:16,530 --> 00:22:17,450
It's policy holders.

300
00:22:18,010 --> 00:22:22,330
But the 596 are not required to have policies.

301
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:23,610
It's then.

302
00:22:23,790 --> 00:22:23,950
Yes.

303
00:22:24,370 --> 00:22:24,570
Right.

304
00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:28,770
So it depends on their mortgage company to be perfectly honest.

305
00:22:29,770 --> 00:22:35,030
If they have a mortgage, then the mortgage companies have a little bit of flexibility on whether

306
00:22:35,030 --> 00:22:37,830
or not they're required to have flood insurance.

307
00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:43,110
So if a house is on a property that's in the special flood hazard area but the house is out,

308
00:22:43,330 --> 00:22:48,810
it's self is outside the special flood hazard areas. Like we have many properties in the city.

309
00:22:49,530 --> 00:22:53,930
The mortgage company can say, oh, where your house is out, you have an elevation certificate

310
00:22:53,930 --> 00:22:59,190
where you have a letter of a map of it, we're not the supplier insurance or some mortgage

311
00:22:59,190 --> 00:23:00,530
that's what you're saying. That's your

312
00:23:00,530 --> 00:23:05,710
plan. You're 60 of the 596. That's what brought it to my

313
00:23:05,710 --> 00:23:08,610
attention. Everybody on Lake. They have floodplain.

314
00:23:08,910 --> 00:23:12,790
Anybody who's back to Lake Louisville and they have the 537 in their yard,

315
00:23:13,090 --> 00:23:16,290
they have floodplain. Even though they might be really. I have

316
00:23:16,290 --> 00:23:20,470
a floodplain in my yard, but I'm a happy. Higher. Like no is coming in my

317
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:23,010
neighbors and washed down the road before my house gets in.

318
00:23:23,310 --> 00:23:28,390
The last house I owned in Midland literally had the floodplain

319
00:23:28,390 --> 00:23:33,770
boundary right through the middle of my house and I had to flood flood shirts

320
00:23:33,770 --> 00:23:42,830
because my base flood elevation in the front of my house was like three

321
00:23:42,830 --> 00:23:49,450
quarters of an inch of foot up below the base flood plain elevation but the

322
00:23:49,450 --> 00:23:53,210
map when I got my floodplain certificate literally went right through the

323
00:23:55,550 --> 00:23:58,090
And there's some cleanup, too, the RCFs.

324
00:23:58,210 --> 00:24:01,530
Yeah, there's a lot of people in maps, I mean, Quero.

325
00:24:01,750 --> 00:24:05,350
There are people on their map, but they shouldn't be there.

326
00:24:06,130 --> 00:24:08,890
Well, and one of the things that we've got a lot of credit for,

327
00:24:09,070 --> 00:24:11,930
is we do keep every single elevation certificate

328
00:24:11,930 --> 00:24:14,010
that comes through our office.

329
00:24:14,030 --> 00:24:16,290
We keep every letter of map on them.

330
00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:18,650
That comes for our office, and those are available.

331
00:24:19,230 --> 00:24:21,260
Well, okay, they will be available online

332
00:24:21,260 --> 00:24:23,700
online before the 30 things is very

333
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,880
proud. And again, I, I don't know. Oh, I didn't do my last button,

334
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,300
which was, thank

335
00:24:37,050 --> 00:24:37,850
you. So

336
00:24:40,220 --> 00:24:45,120
we're going for a seven, not a six, right? Yeah. So basically, my last

337
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:50,360
quote was, I stand on the shoulders of giants. Honestly, a lot of staff have been paired

338
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:55,500
preparing for this point. I don't know if you remember the right, but then she actually started

339
00:24:55,500 --> 00:25:01,400
the file holders for this program, then Rob did a lot of work for it, and then Carmen,

340
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,620
and a lot of people along the way have gotten us to this point as far as all the documents.

341
00:25:08,460 --> 00:25:17,430
It was long to look at all of them, and all of them was happy because it was one good thing to do with them, and it was a good thing to do with them.

342
00:25:17,670 --> 00:25:24,230
Yes, that usually pushes the work very hard, and then I'll come with the mapping and everybody, and I do remember several years ago

343
00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:29,690
that we did a presentation to. A lot of us made a presentation that it would be more.

344
00:25:30,410 --> 00:25:34,390
So, we started talking about the flood playing management. The rest of us were chocolate

345
00:25:34,390 --> 00:25:42,510
liver like in Carlos. So, we just looked for a representation. I think the 2011 remapping

346
00:25:42,510 --> 00:25:47,650
has been really pushed this forward because every mapping, a lot of people who were on

347
00:25:47,650 --> 00:25:50,150
and bluffs on Lake Louisville, Holland Village,

348
00:25:50,330 --> 00:25:51,530
were put in the floodplain.

349
00:25:53,150 --> 00:25:56,110
And so that's when I've talked with Levin,

350
00:25:56,190 --> 00:25:57,350
and that's when the first, I think,

351
00:25:57,390 --> 00:25:59,430
the city started seeing them, that's an issue.

352
00:25:59,970 --> 00:26:01,190
Well, and the other thing, and again,

353
00:26:01,370 --> 00:26:07,370
the city was so pre-antive and active in the fact

354
00:26:07,370 --> 00:26:10,870
that we had an unsteadyed aison that ran down a tributary

355
00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:13,490
right through the center of the city,

356
00:26:13,770 --> 00:26:16,550
and the city paid for a letter of map revision

357
00:26:16,550 --> 00:26:20,450
to have over 80 homes removed from the floodplain,

358
00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:23,410
and because the city paper wasn't a developer,

359
00:26:23,670 --> 00:26:25,550
the paper would get credit for all that as well.

360
00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:29,310
So, Zee has been very proactive in trying

361
00:26:29,310 --> 00:26:31,490
to help residents reduce their flood risk,

362
00:26:31,550 --> 00:26:33,630
as well as the cost of insurance.

363
00:26:34,190 --> 00:26:41,130
Keep in mind, floodplain designation showing up

364
00:26:41,130 --> 00:26:44,990
or property being in a floodplain impacts value

365
00:26:44,990 --> 00:26:52,150
of the property and the real estate value of the property, both assessed value as well

366
00:26:52,150 --> 00:26:54,210
as an actual value.

367
00:26:54,830 --> 00:27:02,030
And so, you know, to the extent that the city sometimes does what Sunny just said, it

368
00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:07,110
actually can be a cost benefit to the city to get those help removed because it can increase

369
00:27:07,110 --> 00:27:11,190
the value as well as saving your savings for the rest of the property.

370
00:27:18,410 --> 00:27:23,270
The next council we have is the presentation on the utility fund budget for follow-up,

371
00:27:23,270 --> 00:27:27,130
especially the general fund, and this is in the case of 2020.

372
00:27:28,150 --> 00:27:30,390
The so that you talk up left-wing.

373
00:27:32,130 --> 00:27:35,030
You can talk about that, but if you've got a news, I've got the bad.

374
00:27:35,810 --> 00:27:37,630
Sorry, I have a bad news.

375
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:05,920
We're discussing to let it be fun to the A's as our last button here, although we

376
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,100
would be touching a little bit, again, on the top of the board.

377
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:23,910
We always forget to add our current year budget and you know, having our projections of

378
00:28:23,910 --> 00:28:31,190
how we're going to think of it as being shot in the year, so just looking at revenue, what

379
00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:37,390
We shall be expected to be $3,000 and $2,000 in your budget.

380
00:28:38,290 --> 00:28:44,270
And that's mainly related to more than expected consumption

381
00:28:44,270 --> 00:28:48,250
in the months of October 2025 and July of 2026.

382
00:28:49,630 --> 00:28:53,130
With the projections, we are a little bit next two months,

383
00:28:53,270 --> 00:28:56,790
a little conservative about 90% of what we've rejoined

384
00:28:56,790 --> 00:29:01,960
than just because of just to be considered conservative

385
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,060
and unfair compared to what we saw in July.

386
00:29:08,350 --> 00:29:13,030
And then for sewer sales, we're expected to be about $55,000

387
00:29:13,030 --> 00:29:13,930
over budget.

388
00:29:18,260 --> 00:29:19,840
So just so we were pretty much like part

389
00:29:22,180 --> 00:29:22,700
easier

390
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:28,080
to predict because there's some gaps and assumptions.

391
00:29:34,660 --> 00:29:38,720
So looking at our expenditures for administration

392
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:53,000
expensive. It's going to be about $17,000 over budget. It's mainly related to about $13,000 in personnel cost from insurance and city contribution.

393
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,780
and also

394
00:29:59,290 --> 00:29:59,850
I

395
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,660
$5,000 increase.

396
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,300
Those increases probably.

397
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:29,400
Right, yeah, so when we, when our customers, you know, use your credit comments. And they raise their fee. And that's why we're seeing an increase in that cost. It's mainly just utilization. And the rhythm, they always can increase. It is.

398
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,680
So that there is, and

399
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,860
then, you know, I just want to mention, it's not really reflected

400
00:30:38,860 --> 00:30:48,040
in the budget, but in some time in the next few months our ERP system will no longer work

401
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,720
with the credit card process, and then we're going to be using, so we'll be looking at

402
00:30:53,720 --> 00:31:00,700
at another concessor, there's a really option to process it.

403
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:10,730
And with that, we may consider passing on that cost to the customer.

404
00:31:11,270 --> 00:31:16,130
So I'm going to be coming back to y'all to discuss that later in the year when we make that transition.

405
00:31:16,130 --> 00:31:16,930
So,

406
00:31:23,460 --> 00:31:30,400
we expect our working capital to be on the way to Florida communities.

407
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:36,400
Our principal policy or target is 90 days, we're

408
00:31:53,740 --> 00:31:58,240
going to go into this goal of 2027.

409
00:32:00,370 --> 00:32:10,610
Just looking at our, okay, to our water own cells, we are participating in a

410
00:32:10,610 --> 00:32:15,930
increase in our utility rates and I'll kind of go into more detail a little

411
00:32:15,930 --> 00:32:25,310
later on in the presentation so that these numbers can mine increase

412
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,780
that more

413
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:34,020
of 2027 expected to be total of 600 and

414
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,500
for sewer cells in

415
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,180
the rate increase

416
00:32:44,180 --> 00:32:48,600
would include both the water cells and the sewer cells for presentation here we

417
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:54,280
We just put it in a home line so that we can see that it's $640,000, and we can be

418
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,380
called with the same rates.

419
00:33:04,370 --> 00:33:17,150
And expenditures, we expect administration to go to increase about $20,000 over last year.

420
00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:26,710
And that's primarily $10,000 mean from personnel, cost, working adjustments that discussed earlier

421
00:33:26,710 --> 00:33:34,590
in this budget session, and then $6,300 increase in the credit card processing fee, although

422
00:33:34,590 --> 00:33:40,510
no, my get eliminated as pass through to the customer later on in the year.

423
00:33:41,390 --> 00:33:48,190
And then a $3 million increase in the bill printing and delivery costs.

424
00:33:48,190 --> 00:33:55,250
three thousand. Do we do we instead of do we incentivize going papers that

425
00:33:59,410 --> 00:33:59,930
we

426
00:33:59,930 --> 00:34:05,970
you know advertise it you know you know I encourage it I'm just not a discount or

427
00:34:05,970 --> 00:34:12,990
anything that sure our discounts for if someone sets out just to be out of

428
00:34:12,990 --> 00:34:19,170
drafted from the bank also a discount for our residents that are over 65 to

429
00:34:21,220 --> 00:34:21,580
our

430
00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:23,320
here, though, also goes in the water.

431
00:34:23,540 --> 00:34:25,460
Does that count for the bill in the newsletter?

432
00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:26,600
I think this is a water bill.

433
00:34:27,260 --> 00:34:28,080
Yeah, that's included.

434
00:34:28,420 --> 00:34:29,300
That answer is included.

435
00:34:35,890 --> 00:34:38,730
Looking at operations, one of our biggest categories,

436
00:34:39,710 --> 00:34:43,690
we were actually seeing a decrease of 19,000

437
00:34:43,690 --> 00:34:45,630
compared to 2016.

438
00:34:46,890 --> 00:34:48,610
There's a lot of little ins and outs,

439
00:34:48,930 --> 00:34:53,210
so I'm kind of displaying the big bigger items.

440
00:34:53,690 --> 00:34:56,950
For personnel, again, when in the cost of living

441
00:34:56,950 --> 00:35:02,170
and marketing adjustments that would increase personnel calls by $50,000.

442
00:35:03,990 --> 00:35:09,150
Produced in membership, we're going to see a $55,000 increase.

443
00:35:09,570 --> 00:35:13,030
And that's related to the groundwater usage fee.

444
00:35:13,410 --> 00:35:15,930
The north Texas from the water district.

445
00:35:16,370 --> 00:35:25,450
Restructured their fees from being just a flat 10 cents per 1,000 gallons to a tiered pricing.

446
00:35:26,410 --> 00:35:35,770
10 cents for $1,000 gallons of $10 million gallons and then from 10 to 20 increase

447
00:35:35,770 --> 00:35:43,070
them into 20 cents and then after 20 to 30 cents, so just a little bit, so I don't

448
00:35:43,070 --> 00:35:45,230
want to ask the subscription service on top of it.

449
00:35:46,170 --> 00:35:48,410
I'm going to say what's our normal million gallons usage?

450
00:36:08,090 --> 00:36:12,230
We're going to get to submit monthly

451
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:13,050
review pay

452
00:36:17,310 --> 00:36:17,670
quarterly.

453
00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:18,650
I get it.

454
00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:20,810
So they do the misread every month

455
00:36:20,810 --> 00:36:23,670
that resets to zero, but we pay

456
00:36:23,670 --> 00:36:24,230
it off work.

457
00:36:24,470 --> 00:36:24,970
Basically,

458
00:36:28,260 --> 00:36:28,960
30 cents.

459
00:36:30,220 --> 00:36:31,580
But it's much cheaper.

460
00:36:31,580 --> 00:36:34,800
for the opportunity. Yeah, we'll talk about that.

461
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,940
We have 80 million. I mean, that's

462
00:36:38,940 --> 00:36:41,160
essentially double. Yeah.

463
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:52,860
And then for a well-plot maintenance, we'll see a decrease of 80,000.

464
00:36:52,880 --> 00:37:00,880
And that's again, contributed to a lot of different things. But one would be in 20s, 26, we had 175,000

465
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:06,460
$1,000, but $1,000 is a budgeted for the 12-centre.

466
00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:17,820
And then we're adding in, we're not doing that in 2027, but in 2027, we have $75,000 of

467
00:37:17,820 --> 00:37:30,180
at least linked fees for finance, for placement at Southwood and I don't want to.

468
00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:32,060
and then

469
00:37:36,060 --> 00:37:39,780
for water storage tank maintenance,

470
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,140
we're gonna see a decrease of $150,000.

471
00:37:44,860 --> 00:37:46,320
And that is basically,

472
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,640
it was delayed vista ground storage repainting projects.

473
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:54,340
It was originally a covered in 2025.

474
00:37:54,860 --> 00:37:56,520
Part of it was paid in 2025.

475
00:37:56,940 --> 00:37:58,400
Part of it was paid in 2026.

476
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,080
So it's really related to that.

477
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,180
to make that decrease as well into the I-bound project,

478
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,840
and then lift station maintenance.

479
00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:22,160
It's going to increase by $7,000, and there's the overlook lift station 10 side rehab.

480
00:38:27,710 --> 00:38:30,690
Just about those. How many lift stations do we have?

481
00:38:31,550 --> 00:38:31,550
I

482
00:38:35,420 --> 00:38:39,780
guess do we know what the pressure was on the ground water district.

483
00:38:40,220 --> 00:38:43,340
they just needed more revenue, they were having issues.

484
00:38:44,740 --> 00:38:51,390
You know, they just, they do their budget based upon, you know, what they're offering.

485
00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:54,350
As if they're distributed out to all that.

486
00:38:54,650 --> 00:38:59,430
As if it had since, it's for $1,000 for a while, or is this something that we see frequently.

487
00:39:00,150 --> 00:39:02,550
And that's what it's being, that's what it started out as.

488
00:39:07,310 --> 00:39:09,730
Like I said, they're implicated with somebody for

489
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:12,600
a year.

490
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:13,740
They didn't rate increase.

491
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:14,580
Okay.

492
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,420
How long have you been using that?

493
00:39:17,340 --> 00:39:23,700
was created for a Senate bill in 2009 so everybody in the state is to have this

494
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:29,720
another revenue generator. The first time that's been created in 17 years the

495
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,080
many ground-worn districts around the state and this one just takes every piece

496
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,540
to know what types of securities. Yeah, copy. Thanks, Scott.

497
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,000
Look, didn't call and leave me a question.

498
00:39:46,340 --> 00:39:47,740
That's a great sentence.

499
00:39:49,260 --> 00:39:49,920
Here's some comments.

500
00:39:53,840 --> 00:40:01,220
So it's good didn't even been coffee or just a mix of our map.

501
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:03,880
Because there's some map of coffee.

502
00:40:05,380 --> 00:40:07,640
And it reads to learn to see an important time.

503
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:08,760
I do not think so.

504
00:40:09,660 --> 00:40:12,880
So these nice few slides to summarize.

505
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:31,520
So this first section is the water volume cost, they had increased their fee from $1.72

506
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,360
to $20.26 to $1.79.

507
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:45,400
So, um, based upon the consumption that we're expecting, we expect to see, not a $16,000 increase

508
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,340
to

509
00:40:48,510 --> 00:40:53,110
what the new houses see over 400%

510
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:02,300
last year.

511
00:41:02,780 --> 00:41:04,140
4% to 22%?

512
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:04,880
No,

513
00:41:10,970 --> 00:41:12,430
4% we've had our wells.

514
00:41:16,190 --> 00:41:19,410
And the next category is the water-to-ban charges.

515
00:41:20,210 --> 00:41:27,220
to the data increase over last

516
00:41:32,150 --> 00:41:32,570
year.

517
00:41:33,230 --> 00:41:35,030
And what is the water demand charge?

518
00:41:37,740 --> 00:41:38,620
No subscription, right?

519
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,260
Yeah, sorry.

520
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,300
This is five to three million gallons per day.

521
00:41:43,580 --> 00:41:44,820
So it's just our subscription.

522
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,200
So it's pretty much a, you know, we get build the same amount

523
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:49,980
every month.

524
00:41:50,380 --> 00:41:50,960
That's not good.

525
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,240
You're paying for your reservation?

526
00:41:53,860 --> 00:41:54,960
I'm paying for your reservation.

527
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:55,300
Yep.

528
00:41:56,180 --> 00:42:01,250
and I need $3 million to hold it on reserve for how much money we pay for that.

529
00:42:01,450 --> 00:42:01,970
Thank you.

530
00:42:02,230 --> 00:42:02,410
Yeah.

531
00:42:03,330 --> 00:42:06,370
Some cities trying to sell their reservation to other cities.

532
00:42:10,010 --> 00:42:11,890
But what else has that been like then?

533
00:42:13,070 --> 00:42:15,550
Well, how much is this paying for the new reservoirs?

534
00:42:19,050 --> 00:42:21,990
Oh, or one of those upper trendies.

535
00:42:22,930 --> 00:42:23,670
Oh, darkness.

536
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:34,620
Our sewer affluent volume charges increase from $1.40 from last year to $1.43 is shared.

537
00:42:34,620 --> 00:42:35,320
the

538
00:42:37,910 --> 00:42:41,030
facility and 16,000 dollars increase.

539
00:42:41,550 --> 00:42:42,070
I'll

540
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,400
sell this for all of the goods.

541
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,280
Yeah, but that is safe.

542
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:54,460
The

543
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,800
joint facilities charge.

544
00:43:07,020 --> 00:43:09,480
So that is increasing also.

545
00:43:09,980 --> 00:43:11,320
I'm going to do about,

546
00:43:11,620 --> 00:43:14,360
about, about, to convince each,

547
00:43:14,380 --> 00:43:15,320
not to come on.

548
00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:19,420
And I just wanted to do something with,

549
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,700
like, what are we facilitating and joining?

550
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,740
So it's like shared equipment, like we're sharing with others, the

551
00:43:40,780 --> 00:43:41,140
Holland Village

552
00:43:41,140 --> 00:43:46,940
sort of similar to the U.S. Trinity, um, you've reached $5.7.

553
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:51,960
What is it?

554
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:53,800
Why did you go down and then back up?

555
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:57,400
Why is that?

556
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,960
Everything that they do is a pass through to us.

557
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:01,700
Really?

558
00:44:01,900 --> 00:44:03,120
Is it like the maintenance and stuff?

559
00:44:03,420 --> 00:44:03,720
Okay.

560
00:44:04,660 --> 00:44:07,220
I'll go down.

561
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:28,580
So, you know, how we handle the wholesale prices we review it every year to look at a cost

562
00:44:28,580 --> 00:44:35,460
recovery service and whatever we are paying for trending, we charge to cut our customers

563
00:44:35,460 --> 00:44:38,080
and pass that cost along.

564
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:44,160
It's a little different than the utility, you know, like the city rates because we separate

565
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:49,800
our utility rates into components is the whole cell pass room and the city

566
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:57,400
rate. Every year by ordinance we will review what opportunity is charging us

567
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,960
for their services and then look at

568
00:45:07,460 --> 00:45:26,020
So, our current wholesale water rates are listed here. For the water is $24.25 is the base charge and then $1.37, $3,000. And then for the waste water is $22.40.

569
00:45:26,020 --> 00:45:35,640
since base charge with $1,000 to $2,000.

570
00:45:40,150 --> 00:45:46,710
So, you know, if we like to do the wholesale pass through to get a full recovery as the

571
00:45:46,710 --> 00:45:53,110
amount that the opportunity is charging us to increase, we would need to adjust our rates

572
00:45:53,110 --> 00:46:05,350
to be choosing water $25.25 as a base charge in the $1.42 as a volume charge and then

573
00:46:05,350 --> 00:46:13,170
from sewer actually $3.10 from the base charge in the $1.7 for the volume charge.

574
00:46:14,890 --> 00:46:24,170
So this is just reflecting, incorporating these new rates into the budget so that we're

575
00:46:24,170 --> 00:46:27,670
trying to just kind of wash out that cost.

576
00:46:28,650 --> 00:46:34,770
The future years does not incorporate in rate changes because we just kind of look at the

577
00:46:34,770 --> 00:46:42,630
first year, but we want to demonstrate, you know, if we don't make the adjustments, this is, you know, our

578
00:46:44,750 --> 00:46:46,890
overage, you know, a lot of small player.

579
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:58,780
I'm interested, but

580
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:06,720
this adjustment is just to the pass-through. Just for the adjustment, the right adjustment is for

581
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:12,780
the pass-through, right here. Well, there will be a city rate adjustment too that I'll review as well.

582
00:47:12,780 --> 00:47:14,920
of this piece is just for the whole sale.

583
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,340
Looking at this senior utility rate,

584
00:47:26,580 --> 00:47:30,660
our current rate for water is $11,000.

585
00:47:30,660 --> 00:47:33,920
The base charge is $11,000.

586
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:39,920
And then the usage for $4,050,000 is $3,000 or $3

587
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,300
for $1,000.

588
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:48,300
And then after $50,000, $15,000 for $1,000.

589
00:47:48,300 --> 00:47:55,040
announced. You know, we looked at it at the feedback. We last updated our city

590
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:05,140
rates back in 2017. And we purposely kind of for the higher users incorporated a higher

591
00:48:05,140 --> 00:48:15,020
rate at that point. And then for this, the wastewater or sewer, the minimum base charge is

592
00:48:15,020 --> 00:48:21,560
$17,000 with the usage from $2,000 to $50,000

593
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,260
with the $3,000 and $70,000 for $1,000.

594
00:48:30,590 --> 00:48:33,970
And so the purpose for today is kind of review

595
00:48:33,970 --> 00:48:37,030
and just with you some of the options, you know.

596
00:48:37,890 --> 00:48:43,650
We will come back to you when we're ready to review

597
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:46,920
the rates

598
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,440
to the past ordinance to increase those three rates,

599
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:55,140
but I just want to kind of show you a few different options just to get that

600
00:48:55,140 --> 00:49:04,320
amount that we need to balance the budget essentially. So option one would be

601
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:22,270
just to increase the base rates so go from for water from $11 to $17 and then

602
00:49:22,270 --> 00:49:40,930
of the base rate and the volume rates changes from, you know, a low dollars to 13.8 for a water and then increase the volume charge for 4,000 to 15,000 from $3 to $3.25.

603
00:49:40,930 --> 00:49:50,410
since, and then for sewer, change in the base fray to $19 a good to since, and then the

604
00:49:50,410 --> 00:49:55,810
volume charge from $3 a few cents to $3 a 90 cents.

605
00:49:56,370 --> 00:50:00,770
Remind me of the option that we've typically done in the past, because of what else you want

606
00:50:00,770 --> 00:50:01,190
to do.

607
00:50:01,570 --> 00:50:04,150
We've typically done a combination.

608
00:50:04,150 --> 00:50:05,290
You

609
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:27,760
know, we're taking more rates here and, you know, you're using a basis of like 12,000 gallons of water usage and 5,600 gallons of sewer usage.

610
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:33,220
So the typical bill with this level of usage would be $1.37.

611
00:50:37,660 --> 00:50:49,100
If we decide to go with the auction line and just change the bank rate or raise the wholesale adjustment

612
00:50:49,100 --> 00:50:56,560
so as well to kind of show you the whole picture of how it would change, it would be $1.50

613
00:50:56,860 --> 00:50:57,140
and

614
00:51:01,650 --> 00:51:07,950
it's also $1.50 because you just kind of change it around the base upon the $12.350.

615
00:51:11,660 --> 00:51:12,600
$150 dollars.

616
00:51:18,090 --> 00:51:27,550
So what we the percentage change for the wholesale

617
00:51:28,130 --> 00:51:34,230
password is a 4% and then for the city portion it's a 16.5%

618
00:51:34,230 --> 00:51:38,130
with it being combined in this example based upon this usage

619
00:51:38,610 --> 00:51:40,370
a 10% increase.

620
00:51:45,510 --> 00:51:47,890
Through this exercise in 2017 you never

621
00:51:47,890 --> 00:51:50,290
what the combined percentage was back then?

622
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:55,980
Yeah, but

623
00:51:58,380 --> 00:52:00,460
no, it seems like it's a lot.

624
00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:02,680
And I will say this,

625
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:05,980
looking when we're asking you to go back

626
00:52:05,980 --> 00:52:07,680
or when you go back to the few slides back

627
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,780
where you show the how years and when the outcome will be,

628
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,560
we don't do anything this

629
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:15,300
year.

630
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,500
I remember when we went through this in 2017,

631
00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:21,340
we were already way in the ditch.

632
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,780
So I'm appreciating being creative.

633
00:52:24,580 --> 00:52:29,400
I'm talking about this before it becomes a role before we start seeing a map.

634
00:52:29,540 --> 00:52:32,580
I'm really made sure some of the back then there was already a really big

635
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:39,040
shortfall. So I'm glad we're being preemptive I find 10% that we're being

636
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:44,380
preemptive about. Yeah and with the 10% but you know I'm also looking you know

637
00:52:44,380 --> 00:52:49,000
five years in advance. So I'm not just looking at this year because I don't want

638
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,580
to change right through a year let's show up. It's a good change right in

639
00:52:52,580 --> 00:52:59,040
every year. It's kind of a, it's looking at, you know, projections. I have, um, and we implemented,

640
00:52:59,260 --> 00:53:10,020
we implemented the tiered usage. That was like 2021 ish. Sorry. That's all right. I think it was

641
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:17,860
We did a lot of changes in the conversation.

642
00:53:18,420 --> 00:53:19,960
We didn't change the deposits.

643
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:21,740
And, uh,

644
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:23,440
we ignite fees.

645
00:53:24,220 --> 00:53:25,780
And so we,

646
00:53:25,820 --> 00:53:27,580
we kind of did a whole big,

647
00:53:27,820 --> 00:53:28,020
big,

648
00:53:28,180 --> 00:53:28,740
little bit more.

649
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,320
And we'll kind of go through the same things.

650
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,060
You know, when we

651
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,160
get to that point,

652
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:38,900
it will probably be October,

653
00:53:38,900 --> 00:53:39,940
November timeframe.

654
00:53:39,940 --> 00:53:45,300
I'm going to bring it back to you and we'll have discussions on what exactly we wanted to do.

655
00:53:45,740 --> 00:53:47,400
This is just for budget purposes.

656
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:56,140
I know that being out to meet our target, working capital balances.

657
00:53:56,660 --> 00:53:59,280
You know, this is the amount of money we need to make.

658
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:06,860
So, doing this, do you know or do you have anything that would be out years?

659
00:54:06,860 --> 00:54:08,100
This is good.

660
00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:23,340
Just so you know as a reference and pulled in what other cities nearby are charging for their underserved utility price.

661
00:54:23,820 --> 00:54:32,680
So how do you see the same usage compared our rates, the bill for our rates and the other cities nearby.

662
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,960
So she's going to get a comparison.

663
00:54:44,230 --> 00:54:48,990
So again, the utility rate adjustment here,

664
00:54:49,130 --> 00:54:55,850
this 645,000 for this year, is assuming those increases.

665
00:54:58,170 --> 00:55:04,650
The reason why we need to do this is for a couple of reasons

666
00:55:04,650 --> 00:55:08,250
is we have, we are now funding water tank

667
00:55:09,170 --> 00:55:13,370
paintings out of our writing budget instead of issuing bonds

668
00:55:13,370 --> 00:55:18,270
for them, those projects, and also we have a lot of projects

669
00:55:18,270 --> 00:55:21,130
coming up, we're going to be issuing new debt soon.

670
00:55:21,910 --> 00:55:24,590
So it's just, you know, we'll have, with it, new debt,

671
00:55:24,770 --> 00:55:27,010
additional debt service requirements.

672
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,560
I'm just real quickly on impact fees.

673
00:55:37,420 --> 00:55:45,780
You know, we calculate the working capital for urine, that's going to be 3.5 million.

674
00:55:46,300 --> 00:55:51,360
We also have our impact analysis, impact fee analysis.

675
00:55:52,240 --> 00:56:00,200
So we're going to have, we anticipate about $150,000 in impact fees and block interest.

676
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:10,260
and then we typically transfer $150,000 to the utility fund for debt service

677
00:56:10,260 --> 00:56:17,700
a year or so. We expect to be at $1.1 million at the end of the next year.

678
00:56:20,810 --> 00:56:23,010
And so this is that projection.

679
00:56:27,690 --> 00:56:32,070
So with the right adjustments on that line with the whole past,

680
00:56:32,070 --> 00:56:50,950
also pass through adjustment and includes, you know, incorporating those adjustments. And then this anticipated zero rate within corporate, you know, based on why I was saying, you know,

681
00:56:51,810 --> 00:56:58,310
in there so you can see it like for our operating days it will you know we're

682
00:56:58,310 --> 00:57:06,730
starting off except to be 140, or 140 days at the end of this fiscal year that

683
00:57:06,730 --> 00:57:14,650
will go down to 102 in 2027 and then we'll be operating right around our target of

684
00:57:14,650 --> 00:57:15,450
90 days.

685
00:57:22,180 --> 00:57:25,820
I think I understand but that's what a stated just to make sure it's very clear

686
00:57:25,820 --> 00:57:32,100
but that is the total number of days that we will all be able to pay for expenses if we have no revenue coming in.

687
00:57:32,340 --> 00:57:32,740
That's correct.

688
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,000
It's three months.

689
00:57:36,220 --> 00:57:36,860
Not yet.

690
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:38,860
I'm kind of the same.

691
00:57:39,020 --> 00:57:46,040
The length is considerably equivalent to 25, 20 to 25 days for the general fund that's in your months to be good.

692
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:47,060
Then

693
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:58,900
we're, I guess, just in a sort of reminder where some of the debt issues we're expecting to come across over the next five years.

694
00:58:01,860 --> 00:58:09,780
We're going to have a $10.5 million issue coming up here real soon, bringing that to

695
00:58:09,780 --> 00:58:10,340
y'all soon.

696
00:58:11,580 --> 00:58:16,420
And then after that, maybe

697
00:58:21,090 --> 00:58:21,890
in two.

698
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,840
I'll get to like, I'm sorry, I don't remember.

699
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:27,820
Do you know what's part of that 10.5?

700
00:58:28,660 --> 00:58:29,480
What projects?

701
00:58:30,100 --> 00:58:30,840
Have we seen it?

702
00:58:30,860 --> 00:58:31,660
I'm sure we've seen it.

703
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:32,620
I just can't remember.

704
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,040
We're going to have the Bistro Edge oil.

705
00:58:39,180 --> 00:58:41,560
Is it just the 10 point manages utility?

706
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:42,840
Yeah.

707
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:45,760
We're going to leave this to well.

708
00:58:46,220 --> 00:58:46,520
We've got

709
00:58:49,430 --> 00:58:50,370
a lot of station line,

710
00:58:52,090 --> 00:58:52,610
reconstruction,

711
00:58:54,330 --> 00:58:58,530
manhole rehab along the lake frontage.

712
00:58:59,110 --> 00:59:02,140
We're going to have three big ones.

713
00:59:04,860 --> 00:59:05,800
Rebuilding the system.

714
00:59:06,220 --> 00:59:06,380
Yeah.

715
00:59:07,140 --> 00:59:08,500
We just want to ask,

716
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,520
because I want to be able to talk to you.

717
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:31,440
Just to recap, so there's two rate changes. The city rates and then the wholesale rates.

718
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:37,460
The wholesale rates is the same strategy, passing whatever ED passes down to us. We've passed

719
00:59:37,460 --> 00:59:42,620
down to them. So, in our ordinance, related to the wholesale rate, it's built in New Orleans,

720
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:48,320
and we evaluated every year and changed it every year. Sometimes we don't, because if we had,

721
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:59,620
You know, it's based upon consumption, so our consumption changes and we overfliped it and then we might not increase it for a year until we, you know, we use our debt.

722
01:00:00,850 --> 01:00:02,410
Right, that we might have.

723
01:00:06,060 --> 01:00:32,080
Like October, November. Okay, post budget. Yes, post budget. We need to have a decision on either of those options going into budget. No, just, you know, we're, we just have a place to hold on budget. Those increases, but we're not going to specify any rights and the same thing with the drainage. Okay. You know, we will have that discussion. It's an ordinance that we have to pass. So that's not what we're not doing.

724
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:43,720
of improving the budget is, in this case, going to be improving and improving increase in revenue, not specific on the rate.

725
01:00:44,180 --> 01:00:46,520
Not a specific rate increase.

726
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:51,320
Yeah, it's not going to be specifically defined as what the rate is going to be, but it's saying it's counting.

727
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:52,980
We just don't know exactly what it's going to be.

728
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:53,760
This is an operation.

729
01:00:54,100 --> 01:00:54,500
We're trying to.

730
01:00:54,500 --> 01:01:00,580
Yeah, and I just didn't say it straighted on the city side just different scenarios that's gone

731
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:08,220
You know me by the time I come back to y'all there may be a difference, you know, I'm calling up more options. No, no, that's that's fine

732
01:01:08,220 --> 01:01:10,380
I just want to be very clear. Thank you

733
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:25,000
in the year.

734
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,440
I have to say that with the

735
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:28,920
year in 2020, it's going to be

736
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:29,760
in the next year.

737
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,560
So, you know, this meeting

738
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,120
later I'll recognize that

739
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,360
actually item.

740
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,040
Number 16.

741
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:47,560
Number 16.

742
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:52,240
Okay, we're going to consider a motion to propose a tax rate

743
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,760
and set a public hearing on the rate

744
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,700
and the fiscal 2016 seven budget.

745
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:07,860
So, you know, we will propose a no rate

746
01:02:07,860 --> 01:02:10,900
but Council's not committed to dodging that rate.

747
01:02:11,100 --> 01:02:14,700
So we actually go through the adoption process in September.

748
01:02:14,700 --> 01:02:21,440
or it's a rate that we can adopt, but we can't exceed.

749
01:02:21,700 --> 01:02:26,980
You know, our rate that we adopt cannot exceed the amount that we propose today's meeting.

750
01:02:32,410 --> 01:02:37,110
So I just kind of want to give you all some calculations from the tax rate and how we can love it then.

751
01:02:38,590 --> 01:02:47,270
This is for current year, our taxable value is 3.5 billion dollars.

752
01:02:47,270 --> 01:02:57,790
We had said that had adopted was at 0.5, 0, 0, 3, 4, so that made our levy at the time

753
01:02:57,790 --> 01:03:02,270
of the certification, 17,600, and 20,000 years involved.

754
01:03:05,900 --> 01:03:18,980
So for our fiscal 2027 budget, our taxable value at the time of certification was 9.20

755
01:03:18,980 --> 01:03:31,880
been. We had $3.4 billion. We also had, at the time, $31 million that were still under

756
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:41,680
protest or under review by the board. And then we have our new growth at $6.1 million.

757
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,880
So our, what we call it, adjusted tax

758
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:48,020
for all is 3.4 billion dollars.

759
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:50,560
So what's the plus protest?

760
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,560
Is that saying that that's the money that's still in protest?

761
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,360
Yeah, so it's still in protest.

762
01:03:56,700 --> 01:04:01,620
And what the pretzel district does in that case is they estimate

763
01:04:01,620 --> 01:04:05,840
a lower value and provide that sort of high cost value.

764
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,940
Okay, so that number could go up.

765
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:09,660
Yeah, that may number the after goal.

766
01:04:09,660 --> 01:04:16,920
the road test isn't successful for the homeowner, but the district gives it to us

767
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:18,640
at the local value just to be conservative.

768
01:04:19,100 --> 01:04:19,800
Which I appreciate.

769
01:04:26,500 --> 01:04:32,400
So that's a 2.8 percent decrease over last year's tax road.

770
01:04:35,210 --> 01:04:35,990
Or $100 million.

771
01:04:35,990 --> 01:04:36,910
In

772
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:51,820
calculating the no-new revenues rate, we take our last year's leddy, and it's adjusted

773
01:04:51,820 --> 01:04:59,040
for, you know, during the year between the time that it was certified today, or the

774
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:06,680
date that the new tax rate was certified, the different, you know, supplements, litigations,

775
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:17,330
things that were adjusted from that back. And then we take the by that by our adjusted tax

776
01:05:17,330 --> 01:05:24,710
growth. So our no new revenue rate on this year is 0.5085. And

777
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:29,700
then we calculate the

778
01:05:29,700 --> 01:05:38,360
voter approved rate. So that is the no new revenue rate essentially or just the maintenance

779
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,640
and it's an operation portion.

780
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,460
That's actually a lower number than we were before.

781
01:05:42,940 --> 01:05:43,600
12-month-old.

782
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:46,580
Yeah, we can talk about it.

783
01:05:46,580 --> 01:05:49,180
Yeah, point out very, yeah, this whole time.

784
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,460
There's good and bad.

785
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,760
So all

786
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,600
the numbers, though, is being on another number.

787
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,300
Like, all of our hygiene numbers, yes.

788
01:06:02,780 --> 01:06:04,740
So I had to make some adjustments to a budget.

789
01:06:10,980 --> 01:06:12,720
So just to make sure I'm understanding

790
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,260
that top number on that second one on the right

791
01:06:15,260 --> 01:06:19,860
is the M&O portion of our tax property tax savings.

792
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:25,500
So that's that 0.42 to 397 out of the 3.5 billion.

793
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:28,160
Because

794
01:06:31,330 --> 01:06:34,790
our tax lovelier last year, you're saying it's 17.62, not 1.7 billion.

795
01:06:34,790 --> 01:06:38,370
Yeah, it's actually the full, I don't know why not, but I know I shouldn't have it in the

796
01:06:38,370 --> 01:06:38,510
end.

797
01:06:38,650 --> 01:06:39,310
Okay, it's not true.

798
01:06:39,410 --> 01:06:39,990
It's the full, right?

799
01:06:40,270 --> 01:06:40,350
Yeah.

800
01:06:40,630 --> 01:06:42,950
So it should not be M&O, that should be the total.

801
01:06:44,130 --> 01:06:45,450
It's INS and M&O.

802
01:06:45,650 --> 01:06:47,910
So it should be 17.62, does that change that number?

803
01:06:49,350 --> 01:06:56,770
from .508. Well, that's the no new revenue rate. So there's a different rate set or calculated

804
01:06:56,770 --> 01:07:00,690
about it, you know, calculated we have the no new revenue rate.

805
01:07:02,750 --> 01:07:05,090
But it's that .508 should

806
01:07:05,090 --> 01:07:12,930
be 17.65 to 5 by 3.41 billion. No, this was this was a levy at a time that is certified

807
01:07:12,930 --> 01:07:19,330
last year. Over the year there's been adjustments. That's what I have to say. Thank you. So

808
01:07:19,330 --> 01:07:26,330
So this is at the time that the new tax rate role is certified, that's what our levy was.

809
01:07:26,390 --> 01:07:27,790
Okay, I understand that. Thank you.

810
01:07:28,170 --> 01:07:28,650
That makes sense.

811
01:07:29,410 --> 01:07:30,770
Um, we've cleared this line.

812
01:07:31,110 --> 01:07:31,370
I know.

813
01:07:31,690 --> 01:07:32,870
There's a comment made.

814
01:07:33,270 --> 01:07:34,610
I'm just showing you all a few steps.

815
01:07:34,770 --> 01:07:36,710
This is really like a 60-step.

816
01:07:37,030 --> 01:07:37,510
We're shooting.

817
01:07:38,830 --> 01:07:40,770
Thanks for walking through it.

818
01:07:41,470 --> 01:07:46,830
Um, so when we're calculating the voter group rate, we're just looking at the end of the row.

819
01:07:48,030 --> 01:07:53,410
How to do in the same thing, taking the last year's

820
01:07:53,410 --> 01:07:55,890
lefty just related to, you know.

821
01:07:56,610 --> 01:08:00,810
And then dividing that by the trusted tax flow.

822
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:09,220
And then we get a rate and we're able to apply the one,

823
01:08:09,660 --> 01:08:14,380
you know, the 33.5 revenue cap, I guess that.

824
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,660
And that is our, no new revenue.

825
01:08:16,660 --> 01:08:20,080
or I'm sorry, a voter approval rate, or just the M&O.

826
01:08:24,420 --> 01:08:29,420
And then we have our interest in sinking rate,

827
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,260
which is a little bit more simple.

828
01:08:32,460 --> 01:08:36,040
It's just our debt service requirements divided by

829
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,660
these types in the role.

830
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:43,780
But in this case, we put that new growth back in.

831
01:08:45,740 --> 01:08:47,120
There's a lot of different numbers in it.

832
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:57,020
But that's, um, so our voter approved rate will be is calculated at 0.528, 0.548 line.

833
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:57,500
Oops.

834
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:58,960
I just did critical math.

835
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:00,160
I'm not sure my math is right.

836
01:09:00,900 --> 01:09:07,080
Between the 50984 and the 528541, I added it basically.

837
01:09:07,620 --> 01:09:09,600
I'm not an hour percent increases that right.

838
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:12,280
I don't think I'm calculated.

839
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:19,500
and then increase between, between the, between the lower group rate and what our existing

840
01:09:19,500 --> 01:09:23,210
rate is, how much of an increase that is.

841
01:09:24,470 --> 01:09:26,250
Um, I have a slide later.

842
01:09:26,510 --> 01:09:26,710
Okay.

843
01:09:27,190 --> 01:09:27,430
Okay.

844
01:09:32,440 --> 01:09:37,360
This is just providing a history of what our race had been.

845
01:09:43,100 --> 01:09:44,080
I got five and a half.

846
01:09:50,540 --> 01:09:51,320
So many questions.

847
01:09:51,660 --> 01:09:53,540
I'm just reading.

848
01:09:53,820 --> 01:09:54,240
I'm just reading.

849
01:10:00,910 --> 01:10:07,710
It's been easy since we did it with when they don't know when it was in the morning was it 2019?

850
01:10:08,130 --> 01:10:08,730
I just wouldn't know.

851
01:10:09,130 --> 01:10:09,730
It was physical.

852
01:10:10,090 --> 01:10:12,330
It was 2020 when we did it back.

853
01:10:18,180 --> 01:10:23,300
This is a fly that you know I provided earlier when we first started talking about the journal fun bath.

854
01:10:23,420 --> 01:10:27,280
It was just updated with the two situations.

855
01:10:49,390 --> 01:10:49,950
So,

856
01:10:56,300 --> 01:11:00,900
I mean, really, it's a lot of the same information just to be telling, like, the different

857
01:11:00,900 --> 01:11:09,220
how the impact on the average tax payter, based upon the new average taxable value, that

858
01:11:09,220 --> 01:11:12,180
It decreased by about 10,000 from last year.

859
01:11:13,980 --> 01:11:17,020
Just the implications it has on the city,

860
01:11:17,540 --> 01:11:20,740
on this tax rate, compared to last year.

861
01:11:22,060 --> 01:11:24,800
So I assume that impact on average tax payer

862
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,840
for the voter approved rate

863
01:11:28,180 --> 01:11:29,820
went down from the last time you showed us.

864
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:34,520
You know, it was like $146 last time we shot.

865
01:11:56,660 --> 01:12:01,540
So, it's going to decrease our revenue from the last time that we're talking on it.

866
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:09,840
So, we are looking at, for, um, 2027, we're back to 1.8, and we're going to be able to

867
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:13,440
and

868
01:12:15,750 --> 01:12:25,070
then balance will be below the 20% and the 20% where were we three weeks ago after we

869
01:12:25,070 --> 01:12:33,210
got to say percent at the end. I'm not talking about the deficit was it was like one

870
01:12:33,210 --> 01:12:39,090
two nine hundred seven thousand I think we'll be finished what right. No it's like one point six.

871
01:12:39,090 --> 01:12:51,950
We were not 900 when we started, when we had everything removed from, from the, yeah, because it was just like 1.4 and then we removed like a half a million, that got us down to 980 something, I think.

872
01:12:53,110 --> 01:12:55,910
We ended up at 1.6 million.

873
01:12:55,910 --> 01:13:02,790
I think what you're talking about was that was just the total value of those options if we decided to put them in was about 1.4 million

874
01:13:02,790 --> 01:13:09,970
And then we took half that out so whatever was left went into the budget, which I'm

875
01:13:18,030 --> 01:13:18,810
sorry, I'm glad.

876
01:13:19,150 --> 01:13:19,790
Oh, good.

877
01:13:21,630 --> 01:13:24,230
Really all that has changed is the property tax.

878
01:13:27,630 --> 01:13:32,230
And those all those additional items that we took so long to go through those are in this.

879
01:13:33,190 --> 01:13:39,970
Once that we decided to add back in, they're all in there.

880
01:13:40,890 --> 01:13:46,050
Once you decided to leave out, which was the three vacant positions.

881
01:13:46,390 --> 01:13:48,010
Now I'm going to go in memory.

882
01:13:50,190 --> 01:13:51,550
Recreational activities.

883
01:14:10,290 --> 01:14:21,390
So when we went down for the county days of 2019 the legislature was the decision already

884
01:14:21,390 --> 01:14:24,330
they were going to trim down from eight percent,

885
01:14:24,470 --> 01:14:26,490
but we could take in poverty tax revenue.

886
01:14:26,950 --> 01:14:27,990
The cap was eight percent.

887
01:14:28,370 --> 01:14:30,670
They were proposing a two and a half percent cap.

888
01:14:31,450 --> 01:14:34,630
So we went down with the idea that the trains left the station.

889
01:14:34,810 --> 01:14:36,450
We actually said that they're going to reduce the cap.

890
01:14:37,070 --> 01:14:39,970
So our proposal at times four and a half percent,

891
01:14:39,970 --> 01:14:41,410
and this is what it would do to us

892
01:14:41,410 --> 01:14:43,190
is how we could limit four and a half percent.

893
01:14:43,690 --> 01:14:45,390
They ended up asking three and a half percent.

894
01:14:45,690 --> 01:14:48,530
So I asked, I asked, can you give us a look at what,

895
01:14:48,530 --> 01:14:51,330
if they had approved 4.5% where we would be today.

896
01:14:52,470 --> 01:14:53,430
Okay, big one.

897
01:14:53,830 --> 01:14:56,110
So, just kind of giving you a history,

898
01:14:56,370 --> 01:14:58,730
I'll wait back all the way back to 20.

899
01:15:01,930 --> 01:15:10,670
I was a little confused because it was the fact of June 2019, so I've thought we've had

900
01:15:10,670 --> 01:15:11,810
to issue a private meeting.

901
01:15:16,630 --> 01:15:24,290
So I went back to 2019 and reestablished the rates. Based upon

902
01:15:24,290 --> 01:15:30,410
or with the assumption that we would always go to the voter group, right? Now, historically

903
01:15:49,900 --> 01:15:56,920
And so, with that, it would, you know, this is where we would have been today, if we

904
01:15:58,620 --> 01:16:00,820
create things that we're asking for.

905
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:01,200
Yeah.

906
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:01,440
Yeah.

907
01:16:01,700 --> 01:16:02,060
Yeah.

908
01:16:02,380 --> 01:16:02,660
Yeah.

909
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:03,560
Yeah.

910
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:09,460
And part of the reason I wanted to, as we look to adopting our legislative agenda for

911
01:16:09,460 --> 01:16:18,500
talking to them next year, I want to be able to say, take this look versus reality and show them

912
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:26,480
as well as pull it out. And my ask for you was to go back and find that legislative agenda from

913
01:16:26,480 --> 01:16:35,560
of 2019, I think there's a page in there where we show our outlook at 4.5% to

914
01:16:41,450 --> 01:16:41,770
be able

915
01:16:41,770 --> 01:16:48,210
to put that in front of them so they can see what we said then, what reality is, and

916
01:16:48,830 --> 01:16:52,390
what reality would have been had they take it in our request.

917
01:16:53,710 --> 01:17:02,350
Not so much of it, but I told you so as much as it is, this was never, this can be

918
01:17:02,350 --> 01:17:05,490
This needs to be adjusted, it's the kind of,

919
01:17:05,490 --> 01:17:08,830
and there's a whole idea behind what we can help

920
01:17:08,830 --> 01:17:10,810
and be adjusted, but I want to be able,

921
01:17:10,850 --> 01:17:12,090
I wanted to be able to demonstrate

922
01:17:13,370 --> 01:17:15,290
that cities like ours are beyond,

923
01:17:15,810 --> 01:17:18,010
we would not be having these tough conversations

924
01:17:18,010 --> 01:17:19,110
that we're having to have,

925
01:17:19,670 --> 01:17:21,590
the impact, you know,

926
01:17:21,930 --> 01:17:24,170
the impact on the level of service we're providing.

927
01:17:24,930 --> 01:17:27,390
This is not just time being taxed out on my home,

928
01:17:27,530 --> 01:17:29,650
people complaining about their tax rates being too high.

929
01:17:29,650 --> 01:17:38,170
We're literally taking things away, just to stay afloat and I want to be able to show them that we predicted this and who we are.

930
01:17:38,770 --> 01:17:42,930
As long as I think there's a couple we should throw into that basket as we're having those discussions.

931
01:17:43,890 --> 01:17:49,670
Builder being written now. So having a discussion of them in county days, you must vote. They're being written now.

932
01:17:50,310 --> 01:17:58,530
So, if we need to have those discussions, they need to have them now, because in county days it's great, you can see people, but the bill was in file and they're down the road.

933
01:17:59,570 --> 01:18:00,790
This is the problem.

934
01:18:00,890 --> 01:18:01,070
Yeah.

935
01:18:01,250 --> 01:18:01,910
This is start having.

936
01:18:02,250 --> 01:18:02,450
Yeah.

937
01:18:02,610 --> 01:18:03,670
They're right and bills right now.

938
01:18:03,830 --> 01:18:05,430
And they'll be in line filing them.

939
01:18:05,990 --> 01:18:06,130
Right.

940
01:18:06,270 --> 01:18:06,810
No, they'll work.

941
01:18:07,130 --> 01:18:12,430
So, we've got to give, but yeah, there's a few things we can ask for adjustments that I can help our city.

942
01:18:32,330 --> 01:18:41,270
I think the one thing is, I think what I love about it is the way he was challenging what

943
01:18:41,270 --> 01:18:46,230
what it's have and to see saying all the 70 cities are raising their taxes and all this

944
01:18:46,230 --> 01:18:53,510
sort of tax release has gone away, which to some extent is true to be at the same time

945
01:18:53,510 --> 01:19:01,330
with the installation of the CPI, the cost of goods and services, which is not sustainable.

946
01:19:03,310 --> 01:19:06,130
And you look at who can find their taxes and who can.

947
01:19:06,950 --> 01:19:11,170
So our homeowners were getting paid 8, 9.99%.

948
01:19:11,170 --> 01:19:14,110
You know what the average increase our commercial buys are paying?

949
01:19:14,690 --> 01:19:16,490
Zero to 1.5.

950
01:19:17,110 --> 01:19:18,410
Because they have the lawyers.

951
01:19:18,930 --> 01:19:20,850
And that's where a real big tax base is.

952
01:19:21,230 --> 01:19:22,370
And I don't know how we find that.

953
01:19:22,550 --> 01:19:25,970
But the homeowners are shoulder in the burden of everything.

954
01:19:26,750 --> 01:19:33,170
And for that session, the big, one of the good conversations was, we put black box.

955
01:19:35,690 --> 01:19:40,550
Yeah, and black stores, it was one of the one that I put, the

956
01:19:45,220 --> 01:19:46,360
other thing was, is the

957
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:52,220
cost of state, state mandates, I'm 100 mandates on this, I don't know, I'm gonna see that

958
01:19:52,220 --> 01:19:52,480
number.

959
01:19:52,480 --> 01:19:59,020
Yeah, we've got to lose, if I agree with you, that would represent the little game of all

960
01:19:59,020 --> 01:19:59,840
that information.

961
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:02,840
And

962
01:20:05,530 --> 01:20:06,030
I'm pushing.

963
01:20:06,310 --> 01:20:08,130
I mean, you listen to the ones on the top.

964
01:20:08,850 --> 01:20:10,390
Never pushing to make it worse.

965
01:20:11,990 --> 01:20:17,110
I had an opportunity to talk to one of our representatives just in passing and mentioned

966
01:20:17,110 --> 01:20:19,330
And it's very thing about, you know,

967
01:20:19,910 --> 01:20:22,550
about looking at me doing his number

968
01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:25,490
and, you know, number four and a half.

969
01:20:25,590 --> 01:20:26,870
He said, well, what was your life for it to me?

970
01:20:27,170 --> 01:20:29,310
And I said, three and a half percent check.

971
01:20:29,510 --> 01:20:30,590
He said, four and a half, and he said,

972
01:20:30,750 --> 01:20:31,590
oh, you see me?

973
01:20:31,870 --> 01:20:33,510
And I better represent it was standing there,

974
01:20:33,790 --> 01:20:36,850
and he said, she wants us to move it to four and a half,

975
01:20:37,090 --> 01:20:42,130
and they both said, it's going to go down

976
01:20:43,010 --> 01:20:44,970
and, or it's going to go away.

977
01:20:46,370 --> 01:20:48,990
they know they do have a

978
01:20:48,990 --> 01:20:50,070
temporary policy and they want

979
01:20:50,070 --> 01:20:50,870
to do with it.

980
01:20:52,730 --> 01:20:54,770
It will not we will not

981
01:20:54,770 --> 01:20:56,290
much with fliction agencies.

982
01:20:58,350 --> 01:21:00,410
I'm wondering if I am

983
01:21:00,410 --> 01:21:03,890
interested to you is small

984
01:21:03,890 --> 01:21:05,390
cities like ours that have a

985
01:21:05,390 --> 01:21:07,810
hypothetical idea have a sales

986
01:21:07,810 --> 01:21:10,290
tax rate that accounts for less

987
01:21:10,290 --> 01:21:12,770
less than 20 or 25% of your overall revenue.

988
01:21:13,210 --> 01:21:15,570
Maybe there's an exemption, you get extra half a percent

989
01:21:15,570 --> 01:21:19,750
or 1% and that doesn't just affect cities like Harlem,

990
01:21:19,790 --> 01:21:22,270
those that will affect their counties in Texas

991
01:21:22,930 --> 01:21:25,410
who have the same challenges on county scale

992
01:21:25,410 --> 01:21:28,010
but we've had just in our city that could benefit

993
01:21:28,010 --> 01:21:29,970
from some sort of an exemption like that.

994
01:21:30,530 --> 01:21:31,410
Yeah, really about that.

995
01:21:31,530 --> 01:21:32,850
And we are, as we talked about,

996
01:21:32,990 --> 01:21:35,290
because if we're in rural vows in the economy,

997
01:21:35,290 --> 01:21:36,130
everything else is approved.

998
01:21:36,450 --> 01:21:37,910
It's still a minimum in cities like Frisco.

999
01:21:37,910 --> 01:21:42,750
go frisco's raising their tax rate and then it hasn't been raised in ten years or something

1000
01:21:42,750 --> 01:21:48,750
like that. Some other cities are going out further to the elections to to increase it.

1001
01:21:49,530 --> 01:21:50,870
Everybody to everybody's feeling it.

1002
01:21:51,650 --> 01:21:55,150
One of the few things that legislatively that can help our city.

1003
01:21:56,310 --> 01:21:59,310
Yeah, for one of the two sets of our sales tax.

1004
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:07,140
So guys, one of the things that we need to decide on is those, I don't know what kind of

1005
01:22:07,140 --> 01:22:08,200
have for you.

1006
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:14,140
I

1007
01:22:18,340 --> 01:22:19,940
need

1008
01:22:21,950 --> 01:22:29,030
to post the budget on the website. To me, the publication required

1009
01:22:29,030 --> 01:22:33,950
are missed by September or, I'm sorry, all you just 20 seconds. It's going to be very

1010
01:22:33,950 --> 01:22:43,720
nice before the budget. So, you know, I just need some direction on this one piece. There's

1011
01:22:46,550 --> 01:22:54,730
Well, the other thing I was going to say is that we have to do a correction on the nonprofits

1012
01:22:54,730 --> 01:23:02,970
if we're going to be protecting the budget for this year, for this year, or not, if we're

1013
01:23:02,970 --> 01:23:09,030
going to do that again, because Angie needs to be able to reach out to them and let them

1014
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:12,070
know whether to make an application and go informed.

1015
01:23:12,390 --> 01:23:14,950
So tonight we have to do a correction on that as well.

1016
01:23:21,710 --> 01:23:25,830
So we end up saying about that out of office when we did the decision list of

1017
01:23:26,750 --> 01:23:29,850
you guys take a residence first we're going to gain them with five and a half

1018
01:23:29,850 --> 01:23:33,870
percent and we're going to raise no water to your rate 10 percent I mean at some

1019
01:23:33,870 --> 01:23:37,930
point you got to take care of your own before you take care of others can you

1020
01:23:37,930 --> 01:23:42,170
best see how much of the council is it's a consensus that that's really our

1021
01:23:42,170 --> 01:23:46,110
because like I said, age and age, you need to be able to reach out to them.

1022
01:23:47,870 --> 01:23:48,770
So I said,

1023
01:23:53,580 --> 01:23:55,500
now let's talk about motorcycles.

1024
01:23:57,380 --> 01:23:57,780
So

1025
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,080
maybe I'm going to say something.

1026
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:01,580
I don't know.

1027
01:24:01,820 --> 01:24:03,760
I mean, I know that...

1028
01:24:04,620 --> 01:24:05,780
I can't remember.

1029
01:24:07,260 --> 01:24:12,140
I mean, even ten were a little bit on the dance on it.

1030
01:24:12,340 --> 01:24:16,720
So I don't know if there were any decisions made or how.

1031
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:21,700
You all say I have an opportunity to sit down with the chief and kind of talk about

1032
01:24:21,700 --> 01:24:22,300
her cycles.

1033
01:24:22,780 --> 01:24:31,350
And along with that, holding and writing and all, there's a thing that's just going

1034
01:24:31,350 --> 01:24:32,350
to make that happen.

1035
01:24:33,010 --> 01:24:43,050
It's going to make me hurt to say this, but kind of like that, that $865,000 retaining wall

1036
01:24:43,750 --> 01:24:47,930
that you guys have put in place kind of as a placeholder in case.

1037
01:24:48,670 --> 01:25:01,850
I would say that I would be okay with doing this for this, but that is not to go out and buy a motorcycle, come off or do you want to talk to them or first.

1038
01:25:02,490 --> 01:25:05,770
I'm not in support of this thing like that we need it.

1039
01:25:06,530 --> 01:25:07,730
That's just not take.

1040
01:25:08,530 --> 01:25:12,110
If you need to hold it, you have more to sketch about it.

1041
01:25:12,110 --> 01:25:21,590
I mean, I think when it's dealing with colleagues and also brought up potential for some other

1042
01:25:21,930 --> 01:25:27,250
maybe future capital budget items, they can be far forward in taking care of with that

1043
01:25:27,250 --> 01:25:35,290
in the lieu of, is that something that was a normal, you know, I'll see an alternative on the screen.

1044
01:25:35,570 --> 01:25:37,110
Is that in conversation?

1045
01:25:37,110 --> 01:25:46,150
So we have a replacement schedule and there are some items not in this current, not in this fiscal well, not in the next fiscal year.

1046
01:25:46,650 --> 01:25:50,270
We're going to be replaced in fiscal year 28 and 29.

1047
01:25:50,710 --> 01:25:54,550
That would otherwise be funded by the years.

1048
01:25:56,150 --> 01:26:01,750
And I have the numbers here. So it's in FY 28, there's a place department deal for 315.

1049
01:26:02,070 --> 01:26:05,830
And there's a street department crack sealer for 315, both 31500.

1050
01:26:05,830 --> 01:26:10,590
100 for a point 29 it's to our department hours for 29 for

1051
01:26:10,590 --> 01:26:11,570
But

1052
01:26:13,780 --> 01:26:16,680
according to the question that we have, they are not

1053
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:21,640
dependent on what is it they're not lost in and they still got years

1054
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:27,380
Equipment is still working and get order. So those are essentially

1055
01:26:27,380 --> 01:26:31,720
placeholders to plan that we try to follow. Sometimes there are

1056
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:35,420
issues. Sometimes it's a couple of piece of equipment that's two

1057
01:26:35,420 --> 01:26:39,700
years now, maybe in such a way that these were placed in or so.

1058
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:46,360
I think what we did shift as a board of conversation, part of the conversation was he was not

1059
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:57,000
completed in its entirety as a research on these motorcycles, nor has he confirmed, well,

1060
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:03,520
I don't know if I said that, one of the pieces he would like to go is for one of his positions

1061
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:10,660
with an experienced motorcycle officer, should this program come forward and that's based on

1062
01:27:10,660 --> 01:27:16,180
what positional research he does. When that gets done, we don't know and that was part of the reason

1063
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:25,540
we discussed putting in as a placeholder, we let him do some more research and at that point in time

1064
01:27:25,540 --> 01:27:32,080
come back and request approval who purchased some of the motorcycles, should his research play out

1065
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:33,860
in the direction he'd like it to.

1066
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,620
In the meantime, we can even do asset assessment

1067
01:27:36,620 --> 01:27:38,680
on the score things that are coming between.

1068
01:27:39,020 --> 01:27:41,240
And I can kind of like his suggestion

1069
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:48,340
as far as to guide us to that guidance fee.

1070
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:53,200
We do this the way it is for now pending the conclusion

1071
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,960
of his research as well as tasking parks and PD

1072
01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:00,720
to get us information on the condition of those tools.

1073
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:12,540
So I agree. I mean, I'm not saying okay. Take it out.

1074
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:18,620
So now do you think that we need to have the other equipment evaluated while they're.

1075
01:28:18,660 --> 01:28:22,040
They're all replaced with schedule coming up. We're adding.

1076
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:26,640
If we do this, we're having two more things to put on replacement schedule.

1077
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:34,140
a lot with hiring somebody to kind of take care of that position and the position he's wanting to

1078
01:28:34,140 --> 01:28:42,770
fill with experience writer that's already that's part of the six vacancies that he's already got

1079
01:28:42,770 --> 01:28:45,290
that budget. We would be feeling more

1080
01:28:45,290 --> 01:28:45,470
good.

1081
01:28:45,970 --> 01:28:48,370
Well, probably more like one and a

1082
01:28:48,370 --> 01:28:49,790
quarter or one and a half because

1083
01:28:49,790 --> 01:28:51,130
we need more for it.

1084
01:28:52,050 --> 01:28:55,070
So I don't know if it's

1085
01:28:55,070 --> 01:28:55,710
a place for me.

1086
01:28:56,210 --> 01:28:56,970
I'm not all for it.

1087
01:28:56,970 --> 01:28:59,710
I'm paying the placeholder for this.

1088
01:29:00,710 --> 01:29:02,710
And like Dan's in, like you said,

1089
01:29:02,890 --> 01:29:04,490
let him evaluate more and come back.

1090
01:29:05,590 --> 01:29:08,310
The instruction that he is not to go out.

1091
01:29:08,590 --> 01:29:10,870
I have other cycles on October 2nd.

1092
01:29:10,950 --> 01:29:12,750
I think the thing that we have, I think the thing I have,

1093
01:29:12,750 --> 01:29:23,810
to happen is between now and I guess the deadline would be September 22nd, or RS 28th,

1094
01:29:23,890 --> 01:29:30,850
so in the next couple of weeks, couple of weeks to month, we have to have all that information

1095
01:29:30,850 --> 01:29:33,730
and we're going to do the answer to that.

1096
01:29:33,730 --> 01:29:34,490
That's not necessary.

1097
01:29:34,670 --> 01:29:35,930
Well, let me finish.

1098
01:29:38,050 --> 01:29:41,650
If they come back and say, oh, yeah, we can, that equipment's a great shape.

1099
01:29:42,210 --> 01:29:46,230
We anticipate it's going to, you may not even have to replace it 28, 29.

1100
01:29:46,490 --> 01:29:47,910
So we don't need to spend that money on that.

1101
01:29:49,030 --> 01:29:52,810
And then when it comes to consensus that maybe we don't want to spend the money on motorcycles,

1102
01:29:52,810 --> 01:29:56,410
we've got to figure something out, or we're going to get, we're going to get, before the 2020,

1103
01:29:56,810 --> 01:29:57,910
December of 2020 sets.

1104
01:29:58,530 --> 01:29:58,850
Yeah.

1105
01:29:59,190 --> 01:29:59,830
We got it soon.

1106
01:30:00,270 --> 01:30:17,490
Yeah, we had to spend 90% I need to say. Yeah, so we have. When you say that, let's say that equipment didn't need to be replaced. There are maybe some other things that are going. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

1107
01:30:22,430 --> 01:30:30,850
And I know he wants to use this for recruiting and retention, and, you know, it's just another tool in the toolbox, I can get all of that in there.

1108
01:30:31,570 --> 01:30:34,750
And that's what's hard to use for miles in anyway.

1109
01:30:48,140 --> 01:30:58,060
We have to make the decision before December of next year, correct?

1110
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:03,860
So when we're sitting here, assuming that we know how many same discussions this time

1111
01:31:03,860 --> 01:31:08,600
next year, then it would be under the understatement.

1112
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:12,220
that we wouldn't wait until December to make the decision

1113
01:31:12,220 --> 01:31:15,220
to probably happen in June or July next year, right?

1114
01:31:16,140 --> 01:31:18,960
Well, we may need time before that.

1115
01:31:19,460 --> 01:31:21,120
We come back with equipment,

1116
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:23,140
and it needs to be replaced.

1117
01:31:23,540 --> 01:31:26,180
We can make the decision and we're going to be screened on that.

1118
01:31:26,900 --> 01:31:32,320
Because there's already like a placeholder for $90,000 for the tax note.

1119
01:31:32,580 --> 01:31:35,360
So whether you spend it on two motor,

1120
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:37,740
We spoke to cycles or whatever equipment.

1121
01:31:38,220 --> 01:31:39,060
All in five, still.

1122
01:31:39,260 --> 01:31:39,820
For 90 grand.

1123
01:31:40,980 --> 01:31:41,340
A lot.

1124
01:31:42,380 --> 01:31:45,040
OK, so we have many things to say about what you did.

1125
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:46,680
Tell me how that worked out for you.

1126
01:31:47,500 --> 01:31:49,780
Heather, is there anything else now?

1127
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,100
Just after this is just a calendar.

1128
01:31:52,580 --> 01:31:56,040
What we're doing next meeting will be, I don't know,

1129
01:31:56,140 --> 01:31:57,740
we need a follow-up and we do.

1130
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:00,600
Then the follow-up is open or we need a return.

1131
01:32:01,100 --> 01:32:03,160
And then we're presenting the budget amendments

1132
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:04,460
for this fiscal year.

1133
01:32:04,460 --> 01:32:13,460
And then we're proposing, you know, a public hearing for the tax rate in the budget for September 15th.

1134
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:15,220
And then second grade.

1135
01:32:16,260 --> 01:32:22,260
Just for clarification, because we always have to schedule a special meeting there for the budget adoption.

1136
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:30,360
But our regular meeting first meeting in September, scheduled for September 8th, which is the Tuesday after Labor Day.

1137
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:37,880
So it works out well if we can move that to the 15th and we'll have our two regular meetings one of the 15th and one of the twins suck it.

1138
01:33:08,940 --> 01:33:17,900
I do want to mention one thing is we're talking about that issue as you came up on my mind, maybe y'all remember James Sabona's who's our financial advisor.

1139
01:33:18,780 --> 01:33:21,020
Jim, I'd expect that passed away about two weeks ago.

1140
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:24,080
It was a real surprise.

1141
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:27,340
I'm going to some of our cities now, but I've been realizing.

1142
01:33:44,220 --> 01:33:44,340
.

1143
01:41:42,130 --> 01:41:42,250
.

1144
01:41:53,910 --> 01:41:54,030
.

1145
01:41:54,030 --> 01:41:54,130
.

1146
01:41:54,130 --> 01:41:54,150
.

1147
01:41:54,150 --> 01:41:54,170
.

1148
01:41:54,170 --> 01:41:54,190
.

1149
01:41:54,190 --> 01:41:54,210
.

1150
01:41:54,210 --> 01:41:58,010
starting tomorrow, and she is going to help us tonight.

1151
01:41:58,810 --> 01:41:59,530
Do the meeting.

1152
01:41:59,970 --> 01:42:01,150
So thank you so much.

1153
01:42:01,270 --> 01:42:01,850
Did you have fun?

1154
01:42:02,310 --> 01:42:02,570
Yes.

1155
01:42:02,950 --> 01:42:03,890
Based on the fire department.

1156
01:42:04,290 --> 01:42:05,450
Did you get to see Holly?

1157
01:42:06,110 --> 01:42:06,430
Uh-huh.

1158
01:42:06,610 --> 01:42:07,670
Yeah, that's good.

1159
01:42:07,850 --> 01:42:08,690
Did they ask for a raise?

1160
01:42:09,790 --> 01:42:10,090
No.

1161
01:42:10,270 --> 01:42:10,670
Oh, good.

1162
01:42:11,530 --> 01:42:12,990
We can ask her home.

1163
01:42:13,170 --> 01:42:13,630
That's good.

1164
01:42:13,790 --> 01:42:14,370
I'm so glad.

1165
01:42:14,510 --> 01:42:15,390
Maybe they've been told.

1166
01:42:15,770 --> 01:42:16,530
Don't ask.

1167
01:42:17,390 --> 01:42:18,350
So that's good.

1168
01:42:18,870 --> 01:42:19,350
All right.

1169
01:42:19,570 --> 01:42:20,490
So what was your favorite part?

1170
01:42:21,230 --> 01:42:28,090
My favorite was going to the police station, seeing everything, and seeing Ollie.

1171
01:42:28,430 --> 01:42:33,630
And they also gave me something like the police badge and this little thing on my neck.

1172
01:42:33,910 --> 01:42:35,450
Oh, okay.

1173
01:42:35,970 --> 01:42:37,370
We know you are official.

1174
01:42:38,030 --> 01:42:40,150
We are so glad that you are here.

1175
01:42:40,570 --> 01:42:42,390
And thanks for helping us.

1176
01:42:42,750 --> 01:42:44,670
So we're going to do a proclamation for you in a minute.

1177
01:42:44,790 --> 01:42:47,870
But first, we have to get started with...

1178
01:42:47,870 --> 01:42:49,130
She has called the meeting to order.

1179
01:42:49,270 --> 01:42:51,990
Let the record show that all council members are present.

1180
01:42:52,610 --> 01:42:54,850
And today is August 11th.

1181
01:42:54,850 --> 01:42:56,790
It is, we are on a little bit behind again.

1182
01:42:57,350 --> 01:43:01,810
It is 741, and we are going to get started

1183
01:43:01,810 --> 01:43:04,530
with a prayer by councilman Joorski,

1184
01:43:04,930 --> 01:43:07,110
and then he's also going to lead us with the pledges.

1185
01:43:07,670 --> 01:43:08,510
Please join me in prayer.

1186
01:43:09,690 --> 01:43:11,490
Heavenly Father, we are grateful for the opportunity

1187
01:43:11,490 --> 01:43:13,390
to come together for the betterment of our city.

1188
01:43:14,150 --> 01:43:16,130
As we deliberate the issues facing our community,

1189
01:43:16,130 --> 01:43:41,770
We ask for your wisdom and blessing for both council and residents to always demonstrate patience, offer grace, and seek to understand prior to seeking to be understood, which tomorrow being the first day of a new school year, Father, we ask that you continue to bless our students with great schools and fantastic teachers and ask that you guide both parents and residents with and without children to exercise patience and give forgiveness as everyone gets used to school traffic.

1190
01:43:42,330 --> 01:43:46,690
And finally, we ask for your continued protection of our city staff, our police fire, public

1191
01:43:46,690 --> 01:43:50,470
works and parks personnel, and please bless and protect our men and women wearing

1192
01:43:50,470 --> 01:43:51,430
our nation's uniform.

1193
01:43:52,170 --> 01:43:53,730
All this we ask in Jesus' name may men.

1194
01:43:54,170 --> 01:43:54,550
Amen.

1195
01:43:55,110 --> 01:43:55,550
Thank you.

1196
01:43:55,930 --> 01:43:57,390
And then, stand for the pledges, please.

1197
01:44:00,790 --> 01:44:06,750
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for

1198
01:44:06,750 --> 01:44:12,890
which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all of us.

1199
01:44:12,890 --> 01:44:20,530
out. On the next slide, I'd like to leave to the Texas one state under God one.

1200
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:25,480
Thank you.

1201
01:44:25,980 --> 01:44:33,560
Okay, Council, we have mayor and council reports on items of community interest. Is there anyone

1202
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:42,400
have anything to say? Not like our new mayor. You like your new mayor? She's pretty sweet.

1203
01:44:44,660 --> 01:44:45,340
What

1204
01:44:45,340 --> 01:44:51,140
So yes, a reminder tomorrow school starts. So please please please slow down

1205
01:44:51,780 --> 01:44:56,200
If you are a parent with a child that rides a scooter or electric bike, whatever

1206
01:44:56,800 --> 01:44:59,960
Please make them follow the rules and and and be

1207
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:26,700
He's safe. They are so dangerous. And so we just, everybody needs to slow down and pay attention. So, all right. And then I have one last thing to take the privilege to wish my husband, Mr. Green Jeans, a happy birthday. Today is his birthday. And he is thrilled that I am here tonight because he gets to cook whatever he wants when I'm not home. And so he's having whatever he wanted for dinner.

1208
01:45:28,900 --> 01:45:35,320
and I didn't make him a cake, so I'll go buy the store and buy one so

1209
01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:41,200
everywhere at day Mr. Green jeans. All right and then what else have

1210
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:46,180
anything? We are going to go down into your proclamation so come with me

1211
01:45:46,180 --> 01:45:47,000
into

1212
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:53,020
the front.

1213
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:09,060
Those are the cutest shoes. All right get some of those. All right

1214
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:14,560
here we go, I'm going to turn this way, so mom can get your picture.

1215
01:46:15,780 --> 01:46:19,760
Here you go, I'm going to let you hold it. This is a proclamation and I'm going to read the big ones.

1216
01:46:21,060 --> 01:46:25,860
Whereas City of Highland Village recognizes that our youth are the future leaders of our city,

1217
01:46:26,100 --> 01:46:30,800
county, state, and nation and understand the importance of increasing students' knowledge

1218
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:33,620
of the operation and complexities of local government.

1219
01:46:33,620 --> 01:46:56,220
and whereas heritage elementary has provided Highland College students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade with a high-quality education and whereas the City of Highland Village offered a mayor for the day opportunity to one lucky student that aims to foster encourage leadership in our young students and whereas fourth grade student Vivian Parks was successful this successful recipient.

1220
01:46:56,820 --> 01:47:02,680
Now, therefore, I, Charlotte Wilcox, on behalf of the City Council and city staff, do hear

1221
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:07,340
by congratulate and recognize Vivian Parks as the Highland Village Mayor for the day.

1222
01:47:07,780 --> 01:47:09,360
Can you please give

1223
01:47:13,900 --> 01:47:15,940
a cue to this thing, Everett?

1224
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:16,680
Did you get a cue?

1225
01:47:17,060 --> 01:47:17,860
Get a picture of us?

1226
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:19,600
I mean, how'd this be?

1227
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:22,980
Perfect.

1228
01:47:23,440 --> 01:47:23,840
All right.

1229
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:25,420
Would you like to say anything Mayor?

1230
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:26,420
More.

1231
01:47:29,820 --> 01:47:30,900
I don't blame you.

1232
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:31,900
I think we've said enough.

1233
01:47:31,900 --> 01:47:32,640
Okay,

1234
01:47:39,210 --> 01:47:44,830
so next on the agenda, we have City Manager and staff reports.

1235
01:47:45,830 --> 01:47:48,850
Bear I'm actually just going to tee up the video that you're about to see.

1236
01:47:49,210 --> 01:47:53,470
We recently had the opportunity to partner with Holla Village resident, Ben Sewell, who

1237
01:47:53,470 --> 01:47:57,250
produces food facts videos to showcase restaurants on Holla Village.

1238
01:47:57,730 --> 01:48:00,070
Our first video focuses on Salernos.

1239
01:48:00,690 --> 01:48:04,850
What you're seeing tonight is a full video and ultimately three separate videos will be

1240
01:48:04,850 --> 01:48:07,170
created and posted over the span of three weeks

1241
01:48:07,170 --> 01:48:08,490
to promote our local restaurants

1242
01:48:08,990 --> 01:48:10,650
and encourage local dining.

1243
01:48:11,030 --> 01:48:12,490
So with that, we will have the video.

1244
01:48:26,050 --> 01:48:27,870
Ben Sule here with Taste Highland Village.

1245
01:48:28,070 --> 01:48:29,970
I'm about to sit down with Aaron Voss

1246
01:48:29,970 --> 01:48:32,070
who is fairly new owner,

1247
01:48:32,290 --> 01:48:34,430
considering Sleernos has 40 years of history.

1248
01:48:34,530 --> 01:48:36,210
He's on it since 2020.

1249
01:48:36,970 --> 01:48:38,510
And we're gonna have a conversation about the restaurant.

1250
01:48:39,010 --> 01:48:39,650
Let's get started.

1251
01:48:39,890 --> 01:48:40,350
Good morning, Aaron.

1252
01:48:40,630 --> 01:48:40,990
Good morning, Ben.

1253
01:48:41,250 --> 01:48:42,530
So tell me a little bit about yourself.

1254
01:48:42,730 --> 01:48:44,050
When did you get in the restaurant industry?

1255
01:48:44,050 --> 01:48:45,050
What's some of the backstory?

1256
01:48:45,050 --> 01:48:51,510
I started waiting at Olive Garden when I turned 18 in LeSquete, miles about 22, 23 years

1257
01:48:51,510 --> 01:48:51,790
old.

1258
01:48:52,030 --> 01:48:53,790
I was a corporate trainer.

1259
01:48:54,310 --> 01:48:57,150
I really enjoy the service aspect of it.

1260
01:48:57,490 --> 01:48:59,590
So, give us a little history behind Celerno's, can you?

1261
01:48:59,790 --> 01:49:02,650
So, they started in 1995 at their old location.

1262
01:49:03,030 --> 01:49:09,650
They moved to this new location in 2019 and I took over in 2020 and we celebrated 40 years

1263
01:49:09,650 --> 01:49:11,970
in business last October which was a lot of fun.

1264
01:49:11,970 --> 01:49:16,590
First time my wife never visited Slernos was at the old location and my first

1265
01:49:16,590 --> 01:49:20,710
possible line ever. I thought I was being fancy, drinking wine, Italian wine at

1266
01:49:20,710 --> 01:49:25,230
an Italian restaurant. Here in Slernos a lot of what you see is original but Aaron

1267
01:49:25,230 --> 01:49:31,450
did update this bar in 2023 and it's a place where a lot of the locals like to

1268
01:49:31,450 --> 01:49:36,310
come and it's kind of their spot. And a fun fact in the bar is he still has the old

1269
01:49:36,310 --> 01:49:40,170
bar top from the original Slernos and actually from the original

1270
01:49:40,170 --> 01:49:43,130
campesies in Dallas that is over 60 years old.

1271
01:49:43,350 --> 01:49:45,930
When you walk in, there's pictures all over the walls in here,

1272
01:49:46,170 --> 01:49:47,670
which I'm guessing aren't just random pictures.

1273
01:49:48,190 --> 01:49:50,170
All the photos on the wall are family members.

1274
01:49:50,550 --> 01:49:53,350
You know, their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles,

1275
01:49:53,550 --> 01:49:55,770
cousins, and every picture has a story.

1276
01:49:55,930 --> 01:49:57,690
To learn how a family are from Sicily,

1277
01:49:57,850 --> 01:50:00,930
and if you ever happen to look in the private dining room,

1278
01:50:01,150 --> 01:50:04,990
you'll be able to find a picture of their third great-grandfather,

1279
01:50:05,610 --> 01:50:07,510
his wife and kids and grandkids.

1280
01:50:07,510 --> 01:50:11,090
Mike's father was one of the last cobblers in Dallas County.

1281
01:50:11,830 --> 01:50:14,170
So when you exit the building, if you look to your left,

1282
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:17,550
you'll see an old say in an old cobbler stand.

1283
01:50:18,070 --> 01:50:19,690
And if you ever look above the host stand,

1284
01:50:20,310 --> 01:50:22,210
you'll see two really old chandeliers.

1285
01:50:22,850 --> 01:50:24,610
One of them belongs to great grandmother,

1286
01:50:25,650 --> 01:50:28,830
Solano, and another one belongs to a great aunt.

1287
01:50:29,370 --> 01:50:31,090
Wow, we have a lot of food here.

1288
01:50:31,330 --> 01:50:33,090
So can you talk me to them about to dive into?

1289
01:50:33,330 --> 01:50:35,630
The first one is our famous pecan chicken.

1290
01:50:35,630 --> 01:50:37,890
And this is our number one cellar month and month out.

1291
01:50:38,010 --> 01:50:41,390
This next dish is a staple all the way back from Gid station.

1292
01:50:41,710 --> 01:50:43,150
And this is our Chikamogia salad.

1293
01:50:43,450 --> 01:50:45,210
This is our Oreo Cust Cheesecake.

1294
01:50:45,550 --> 01:50:47,990
Now this is the first dish that I ever created

1295
01:50:47,990 --> 01:50:49,370
and added to the menu.

1296
01:50:49,730 --> 01:50:51,050
This is our spicy Bolognese.

1297
01:50:51,970 --> 01:50:53,430
This is one of our newest dishes.

1298
01:50:54,530 --> 01:50:56,370
I like to experiment in the kitchen.

1299
01:50:57,130 --> 01:50:58,950
This is called a Dijonese.

1300
01:50:59,230 --> 01:51:02,230
So it is a Dijon mustard base sauce

1301
01:51:02,230 --> 01:51:05,530
with your cream, sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms.

1302
01:51:06,510 --> 01:51:09,190
So you get the tanginess of the Dijon mustard,

1303
01:51:09,410 --> 01:51:11,630
but you also complement it with the sweetness

1304
01:51:11,630 --> 01:51:12,750
of the sun-dried tomatoes.

1305
01:51:13,090 --> 01:51:13,730
Awesome. Thank you.

1306
01:51:13,870 --> 01:51:15,590
I'm excited to dive into it.

1307
01:51:15,750 --> 01:51:15,890
Yeah.

1308
01:51:16,430 --> 01:51:17,290
I hope you got a big stomach.

1309
01:51:17,490 --> 01:51:18,890
Yeah. Glad I skipped breakfast.

1310
01:51:19,130 --> 01:51:19,530
Awesome.

1311
01:51:19,730 --> 01:51:20,290
Got to hear it.

1312
01:51:20,710 --> 01:51:22,270
From classic dishes to new favorites,

1313
01:51:22,570 --> 01:51:23,910
make sure you stop by Salernas

1314
01:51:23,910 --> 01:51:25,110
to come try it for yourself.

1315
01:51:32,870 --> 01:51:34,170
Is that it? That's all.

1316
01:51:34,370 --> 01:51:35,490
Okay. Well, thank you.

1317
01:51:36,070 --> 01:51:37,830
All right. So next on the agenda is

1318
01:51:37,830 --> 01:51:38,650
There's a visitor comments.

1319
01:51:39,250 --> 01:51:40,390
Do we have any visitor comments?

1320
01:51:41,830 --> 01:51:42,010
Nope.

1321
01:51:42,870 --> 01:51:43,330
No cards.

1322
01:51:44,910 --> 01:51:47,090
Nobody, no we won't have any, we're gonna move on.

1323
01:51:47,250 --> 01:51:48,170
We have no visitor comments.

1324
01:51:49,790 --> 01:51:52,590
So next one, the agenda then is the consent agenda.

1325
01:51:52,850 --> 01:51:53,010
All right.

1326
01:51:53,570 --> 01:51:55,190
All the items on the consent agenda

1327
01:51:55,190 --> 01:51:57,150
are considered for approval by a single motion

1328
01:51:57,810 --> 01:51:59,150
in vote without discussion.

1329
01:51:59,410 --> 01:52:01,750
Each council member has the option of removing an item

1330
01:52:01,750 --> 01:52:04,150
from this agenda so it may be considered separately

1331
01:52:04,150 --> 01:52:06,770
and we're adding any item from the action agenda

1332
01:52:06,770 --> 01:52:09,350
to be considered as part of the consent agenda.

1333
01:52:09,690 --> 01:52:11,970
Can I just ask if anybody want to move anything?

1334
01:52:14,820 --> 01:52:17,280
I'm at the motion, we approve the consent agenda.

1335
01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:18,240
I haven't read them yet.

1336
01:52:18,900 --> 01:52:19,540
I haven't read it.

1337
01:52:20,220 --> 01:52:22,040
Just ask if anybody want to move anything.

1338
01:52:22,820 --> 01:52:23,080
Hang on.

1339
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:25,540
Yeah, did we want to move item number 17

1340
01:52:26,220 --> 01:52:29,700
out of the action agenda into the consent agenda?

1341
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:33,680
Item number 17 was the code of ordinances

1342
01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:35,980
by minting its entirety of building regulation,

1343
01:52:35,980 --> 01:52:38,560
and building regulations, building regulations,

1344
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:41,740
flood damage prevention that we discussed earlier?

1345
01:52:42,120 --> 01:52:42,540
Yeah, that one.

1346
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:43,500
Yeah, when that's a first read.

1347
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:44,840
I'm sorry.

1348
01:52:45,100 --> 01:52:45,960
That's the first read on that.

1349
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:47,160
It was the first read, right?

1350
01:52:47,440 --> 01:52:49,420
And then Sonny's here and prepared to do it

1351
01:52:49,420 --> 01:52:52,180
if the presentation, again, if you want to do it,

1352
01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:54,840
you want to do it in the council meeting?

1353
01:52:55,440 --> 01:52:57,200
No, I can't say that you can't move it.

1354
01:52:57,340 --> 01:53:00,360
Yeah, we can move it if councilor, is anybody,

1355
01:53:01,060 --> 01:53:02,200
is everybody okay with it?

1356
01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:04,140
Or do you want to leave it on the action agenda?

1357
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:10,320
I would prefer to leave it on action to give the benefit of the citizens of seeing a presentation.

1358
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:13,000
And Sonny wants to present it.

1359
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:13,400
She loves to.

1360
01:53:13,480 --> 01:53:17,100
Sonny's here, and she wouldn't be happy to do that, so okay, about the month.

1361
01:53:17,820 --> 01:53:25,600
All right, so the consent agenda is number 11, Consider Resolution 2026-3251,

1362
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:30,420
authorizing a project funding agreement with the Highland Village Community Development Corporation

1363
01:53:30,420 --> 01:53:37,740
to provide funds for the planning services to obtain cost estimates for the design and construction of certain city trails.

1364
01:53:38,220 --> 01:53:51,800
Number 12, consider resolution 2026-3250, canceling this September 8th, 2026 city council meeting and scheduling a special city council meeting on September the 15th, 2026.

1365
01:53:51,800 --> 01:54:03,540
There were 13 received investment report report or ending June 30th, 2026 and number 14 received budget reports for period ending June 30th, 2026.

1366
01:54:04,060 --> 01:54:06,440
That is the consent agenda. Do I have a motion?

1367
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:10,960
I will make the motion approve the consent agenda as read.

1368
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:13,500
Thank you. We have a motion. Do I have a second?

1369
01:54:13,900 --> 01:54:14,060
Okay.

1370
01:54:14,060 --> 01:54:19,120
Okay, we have a motion and a second council all in favor say aye.

1371
01:54:19,340 --> 01:54:19,480
Aye.

1372
01:54:19,940 --> 01:54:20,500
Those opposed?

1373
01:54:21,380 --> 01:54:22,440
Do you vote for it?

1374
01:54:22,780 --> 01:54:23,200
Okay.

1375
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:24,000
I'm carried seven.

1376
01:54:24,060 --> 01:54:24,120
No.

1377
01:54:24,220 --> 01:54:24,820
I mean, eight oh.

1378
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:26,800
All right.

1379
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:28,100
I'm carried eight oh.

1380
01:54:28,800 --> 01:54:29,600
Got a vote.

1381
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:30,940
All right.

1382
01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:33,660
Because the mayor in the Highland Village gets to vote.

1383
01:54:34,160 --> 01:54:35,480
Some mayors don't vote.

1384
01:54:36,340 --> 01:54:37,520
Mayors in Highland Village?

1385
01:54:38,060 --> 01:54:39,100
All right.

1386
01:54:39,260 --> 01:54:41,940
So on the action agenda, we did not meet in closed sessions.

1387
01:54:41,940 --> 01:54:53,940
We'll do number 16, consider the ad volume tax rate for year 2026 instead of public hearing date on the proposed physical year 2026, 2027 budget and proposed tax rate.

1388
01:54:55,670 --> 01:54:56,330
Heather.

1389
01:54:57,530 --> 01:54:59,430
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

1390
01:55:01,370 --> 01:55:11,970
So under the Texas Truth and Taxation Requirements, if the city chooses to adopt a rate that exceeds the lower of the new

1391
01:55:11,970 --> 01:55:23,570
No new revenue rate or the voter approved rate, then we had to provide some public notice and a hearing before we can adopt that rate.

1392
01:55:25,150 --> 01:55:41,130
So in the work session earlier this evening we reviewed the no new revenue rate and it was calculated at 0.508557 per $100 valuation.

1393
01:55:41,130 --> 01:55:54,870
And then the voter approved rate, tax rate was calculated at 0.528541 for $100 in evaluation.

1394
01:55:55,890 --> 01:56:03,990
So the staff is recommending that council propose the tax rate, the voter approved tax

1395
01:56:03,990 --> 01:56:10,710
rate of 0.528451 per $100 evaluation.

1396
01:56:12,650 --> 01:56:17,270
And since that exceeds the no-new revenue recovery, we wouldn't go ahead and

1397
01:56:17,630 --> 01:56:19,730
need to schedule a public hearing.

1398
01:56:20,710 --> 01:56:28,490
In addition to that, our city charter and state requirements requires us to do a public

1399
01:56:28,490 --> 01:56:32,590
hearing to adopt our 2627 budget.

1400
01:56:32,590 --> 01:56:36,430
So we're proposing that we do both of those things,

1401
01:56:37,210 --> 01:56:41,410
those, both of those hearing on the September 15th meeting.

1402
01:56:45,870 --> 01:56:49,150
So, you know, just, just so that, you know,

1403
01:56:49,310 --> 01:56:55,430
the approval of the proposed tax rate doesn't commit the council

1404
01:56:55,850 --> 01:56:57,090
to adopt that right.

1405
01:56:57,230 --> 01:57:00,030
That will be done at the, the September 15th,

1406
01:57:00,030 --> 01:57:10,670
2026 meeting and to approve the motion it needs to have the exact wording. I think maybe

1407
01:57:10,670 --> 01:57:18,070
you have that in your packet. Are there any questions before that can answer? Councilor

1408
01:57:18,070 --> 01:57:19,710
does anybody have any questions for Heather?

1409
01:57:24,270 --> 01:57:30,290
This is always clear as mud. I know it is. I think

1410
01:57:30,290 --> 01:57:37,470
He said earlier, it was a 16-page formula, 16-step formulas.

1411
01:57:38,190 --> 01:57:39,250
Yeah, it's multiple.

1412
01:57:39,630 --> 01:57:42,970
I mean, maybe in the hydrating, it might be 40-something subs,

1413
01:57:43,090 --> 01:57:44,550
but yeah, it's a lot.

1414
01:57:44,850 --> 01:57:45,650
It's a big calculation.

1415
01:57:46,170 --> 01:57:48,310
Well, we appreciate them simplifying everything.

1416
01:57:48,970 --> 01:57:50,410
Well, I try, I know it's, yeah.

1417
01:57:50,970 --> 01:57:52,670
So, okay, still complicated.

1418
01:57:54,010 --> 01:57:55,710
Can we see if anybody have any questions?

1419
01:57:56,270 --> 01:57:56,590
No.

1420
01:57:56,730 --> 01:57:58,350
All right, then I will entertain a motion.

1421
01:57:59,090 --> 01:58:10,250
There, I'd like to move, we'll make a motion, we move that 0.528541 per 100 dollar evaluation

1422
01:58:10,250 --> 01:58:10,990
be proposed.

1423
01:58:11,490 --> 01:58:18,290
For adoption as a city at the Lorm tax rate for the 2026 tax year and set September 15,

1424
01:58:18,550 --> 01:58:24,370
2026 of the date for hold in the public hearing to receive public comment on the tax rate

1425
01:58:24,370 --> 01:58:28,310
and the 2026, 2027 fiscal year budget.

1426
01:58:29,010 --> 01:58:30,670
Okay, Councilor, I have a motion.

1427
01:58:30,810 --> 01:58:31,450
Do I have a second?

1428
01:58:32,490 --> 01:58:33,210
I'll second.

1429
01:58:33,470 --> 01:58:33,790
Thank you.

1430
01:58:34,270 --> 01:58:36,310
Okay, so you have a motion to second any further discussion

1431
01:58:36,310 --> 01:58:38,130
or any other questions for Heather?

1432
01:58:39,350 --> 01:58:41,010
Okay, all in favor say aye.

1433
01:58:41,450 --> 01:58:41,670
Aye.

1434
01:58:42,130 --> 01:58:43,310
That was opposed, same sign.

1435
01:58:44,150 --> 01:58:44,990
Okay, it carries.

1436
01:58:45,310 --> 01:58:45,690
8-0.

1437
01:58:47,010 --> 01:58:47,550
Any man?

1438
01:58:47,830 --> 01:58:48,670
Thank you.

1439
01:58:49,550 --> 01:58:50,910
All right, but I hit you.

1440
01:58:51,150 --> 01:58:51,350
Okay.

1441
01:58:51,870 --> 01:58:53,590
Next on the agenda is considered ordinance.

1442
01:58:53,590 --> 01:59:13,170
amendments 2026-1337, amending the city's code of ordinances by amending any entirety, chapter 24, building regulations, article 24.04, flood damage prevention, establishing the regulations for the development of special flood hazard areas and floods within the city.

1443
01:59:13,270 --> 01:59:14,390
This is the first of two reads.

1444
01:59:14,390 --> 01:59:18,410
Thank you Madam Mayor, thank you council members.

1445
01:59:19,550 --> 01:59:27,550
Last year during the budget process it was identified during supplemental that the council

1446
01:59:27,550 --> 01:59:34,530
would provide funding to allow for the city to enter into the FEMA's Community Rating

1447
01:59:34,530 --> 01:59:35,530
Service Program.

1448
01:59:35,870 --> 01:59:42,330
The city has been building up for and getting ready for this program for almost 18 years.

1449
01:59:43,650 --> 01:59:50,330
So it's a class rating system, it's similar to our insurance rating systems, and it determines

1450
01:59:50,330 --> 01:59:55,570
our flood risk and the things that, and we get credit for the things that we do to help

1451
01:59:55,570 --> 01:59:59,690
prevent that risk and increase education.

1452
02:00:00,300 --> 02:00:07,420
There's a 5% discount on blood insurance policies for every level of rating that we would receive.

1453
02:00:08,980 --> 02:00:16,120
So the consultants recommended that we might become in at an 8 or a 7 based on what we were already currently doing.

1454
02:00:16,500 --> 02:00:22,660
That a 7 would give us a 15% discount to all residents that have a blood insurance policy.

1455
02:00:23,500 --> 02:00:28,220
$22,000 was allocated at that time for the consulting services.

1456
02:00:28,220 --> 02:00:35,660
We currently have 596 residential properties in the special plant hazard area and the older

1457
02:00:35,660 --> 02:00:41,440
data stated that we had an on average 60 flood insurance policies within the city.

1458
02:00:42,460 --> 02:00:49,960
With that discount, we would have in the first year residents that had those 60 policies

1459
02:00:49,960 --> 02:00:58,140
would save on average of $408 and which would round up to about $24,480 in that first year

1460
02:00:58,140 --> 02:01:04,360
with the current policy boulders. Obviously, our hope is that through education, then we can

1461
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:11,040
encourage other people to take advantage of the discounts and be able to purchase one insurance

1462
02:01:11,040 --> 02:01:19,560
policies for their properties. The city contract contracted with LE and incorporating for your

1463
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:25,800
professional services staff might wait for that in November. Then the CRS program kind of went into

1464
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:30,260
a high it is. And then we got an email in June that said there was a small window opening

1465
02:01:30,260 --> 02:01:37,160
if we were ready to enter into the program. That's what we did. We got on the ball and

1466
02:01:37,160 --> 02:01:42,020
a lot of staff put in their time and effort to get everything that we needed to for our community

1467
02:01:42,020 --> 02:01:47,960
assisted visit, which was held on August 6th. We got 30-day, little header yesterday and the clock

1468
02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:53,480
has begun and we have 30 days to provide all of the documentation of everything that we said

1469
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:57,960
that we do in our flood risk reduction program.

1470
02:01:58,380 --> 02:02:03,080
One of those big items is the changes to our 2011 ordinance.

1471
02:02:04,120 --> 02:02:10,500
It was first adopted in 2011, that ordinance officially formally adopted the Flensurance

1472
02:02:10,500 --> 02:02:15,100
rate maps and provided governance for the certified floodplain manager and set of higher standards

1473
02:02:15,100 --> 02:02:16,280
for flood risk reduction.

1474
02:02:16,280 --> 02:02:19,180
the city attorney had identified that in 2012.

1475
02:02:19,900 --> 02:02:24,540
The CRS representative reviewed it and made some recommended suggestions.

1476
02:02:25,140 --> 02:02:27,960
The attorney reviewed and revised that very quickly.

1477
02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:33,840
And what you have before you is the fully revised version that I'm going to provide you today.

1478
02:02:35,380 --> 02:02:37,820
Here's the list of all of the change highlights.

1479
02:02:38,420 --> 02:02:42,720
A lot of it was just some language additions.

1480
02:02:42,720 --> 02:02:47,120
just to make sure we got full credit for what we were already doing in our

1481
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:53,920
program. We already had two feet of base lid elevation for all structures and

1482
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:58,620
we needed to make sure to regulate the machinery so all the HVAC was a two

1483
02:02:58,620 --> 02:03:04,440
feet above the base lid elevation for that as well. We added some definitions for

1484
02:03:04,440 --> 02:03:12,700
accessory structures and storage structures that are allowed in the special

1485
02:03:12,700 --> 02:03:16,520
We do not have any homes built in the special Glen Hazard area.

1486
02:03:17,100 --> 02:03:20,500
It was in the highlights there.

1487
02:03:20,700 --> 02:03:21,720
Anyone has any questions?

1488
02:03:22,100 --> 02:03:22,720
Please let me know.

1489
02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:25,800
Just a clarification, if you will.

1490
02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:31,300
We don't have any existing residential structures that

1491
02:03:31,300 --> 02:03:34,520
would be affected by this at this point.

1492
02:03:34,920 --> 02:03:40,960
We do not have any fully, no home is fully

1493
02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:43,000
inside the special Glen Hazard area.

1494
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:50,740
We do have some homes that have a piece of a garage or a corner of their house that does touch the special flood hazard area

1495
02:03:50,740 --> 02:03:59,360
But all of those homes are above a minimum of two feet above the base of the house. Okay, so they fall. They all fall within the garden, right?

1496
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:05,660
Okay. Thank you. And our plenum area, plenum, oh

1497
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:07,540
Plenum area

1498
02:04:12,640 --> 02:04:21,700
So we were very pleased with that like I said most cities usually come in around an eight or a nine because of what we were currently doing.

1499
02:04:21,960 --> 02:04:27,680
We had enough points to come in at seven. We actually had enough points to come in at six, but we wanted to get us to a six.

1500
02:04:29,240 --> 02:04:34,360
So, it's a part of the 30 days proof that everything that we said that we do, this ordinance

1501
02:04:34,360 --> 02:04:35,460
is part of that process.

1502
02:04:36,380 --> 02:04:42,220
And so, of course, staff will work with communications and the State Secretary's Office have advertised.

1503
02:04:42,740 --> 02:04:48,140
The entrance into the program are official rating and how residents can apply for the discount

1504
02:04:48,140 --> 02:04:52,220
for their current flood insurance policies.

1505
02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:57,380
online we would redo every year on site there would be five years every five

1506
02:04:57,380 --> 02:05:00,860
years they would do their site visit and then in the future we might bring

1507
02:05:00,860 --> 02:05:04,980
forth staff might bring forward and we're ready to pursue a higher grade for

1508
02:05:04,980 --> 02:05:09,400
deeper details. What is the site visit in tail?

1509
02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:14,180
It went way longer than I thought it

1510
02:05:14,180 --> 02:05:18,420
was going to go perfectly on the site honestly that they'd be on site for about

1511
02:05:18,420 --> 02:05:23,240
four hours. They were on site for about six and a half and that was with a working

1512
02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:28,280
lunch. I went up up each and we just worked through the rest of the day. So basically

1513
02:05:28,280 --> 02:05:36,300
they start at the 200 level and it goes down to 600 level and it's about 480 page document

1514
02:05:36,300 --> 02:05:42,900
and every section that we would qualify for points for, we then had to provide a documentation

1515
02:05:42,900 --> 02:05:49,320
or procedures and policies that say we do all those things like community outreach,

1516
02:05:49,800 --> 02:05:58,000
putting out the pamphlets, the mapping, the analysis, open space in the special flood houses or area,

1517
02:05:58,480 --> 02:05:59,080
the ordinance.

1518
02:05:59,800 --> 02:06:00,860
That was a lot.

1519
02:06:02,360 --> 02:06:03,940
And they looked at all of our files.

1520
02:06:04,160 --> 02:06:08,520
So we keep every elevation certificate for every property that we've gotten,

1521
02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:11,680
and hopefully keep every letter of map amendment

1522
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:14,300
as well as we are official record keepers

1523
02:06:14,300 --> 02:06:16,560
for all the letter of map revisions.

1524
02:06:17,060 --> 02:06:18,540
And so they wanted to see all of that.

1525
02:06:19,100 --> 02:06:21,740
We got points for having maps that went back

1526
02:06:21,740 --> 02:06:25,620
to the nummies, we got points for having copies

1527
02:06:25,620 --> 02:06:29,560
of blood insurance studies beyond what the current ones were.

1528
02:06:30,680 --> 02:06:32,400
It was thorough.

1529
02:06:32,400 --> 02:06:45,260
You described what they looked at, putting us into the program in the future years when they do approximately five-year site visits.

1530
02:06:45,660 --> 02:06:49,700
It is simply going back and looking at our ordinances and all the paperwork we have.

1531
02:06:49,840 --> 02:06:57,160
These are not site visits that they will go out to the residential properties that are in floodplains and do actual visits.

1532
02:06:57,160 --> 02:07:26,700
So they have done so our community rating representatives did to a drive around and we did when we did the FEMA virtual visit, they actually go to ortho photography and randomly picked out six properties and wanted to see all the permits that we had done for those properties where we had approved what projects and the documentation and the surveys that we had to show that we had those properties of the higher state.

1533
02:07:35,860 --> 02:07:39,220
We are hearing to our policy.

1534
02:07:39,340 --> 02:07:42,880
The residents don't have to worry about someone getting on their property and walking around.

1535
02:07:42,880 --> 02:07:48,840
I don't think it's all done through the ortho-photography and just a problem.

1536
02:07:49,220 --> 02:07:51,360
On-site just means they're here at the city.

1537
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:54,860
On-site means on, yes, they're here at the city hall.

1538
02:07:55,920 --> 02:07:56,820
Thank you for the clarification.

1539
02:07:57,140 --> 02:07:59,780
Yes. They were on-site means they were here at City Hall.

1540
02:08:00,100 --> 02:08:05,220
And so every five years, they wouldn't want to see if we had done any changes to our policies,

1541
02:08:05,860 --> 02:08:09,780
any changes to the procedures, any other hard copies of the location,

1542
02:08:09,780 --> 02:08:17,380
We had done and, of course, any online things that we have added since our initial visit.

1543
02:08:18,220 --> 02:08:18,520
Thank you.

1544
02:08:18,920 --> 02:08:19,080
Okay.

1545
02:08:20,740 --> 02:08:22,060
Anybody else have any questions?

1546
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:29,020
I just want to thank Business and Multidepartmental Project and just really

1547
02:08:29,020 --> 02:08:33,900
to appreciate the council support and staff support to get us across the line with this project.

1548
02:08:34,440 --> 02:08:39,260
Thank you, Sunny, for leading the charge on this because it will be beneficial.

1549
02:08:39,260 --> 02:08:47,500
for our residents. So staff is recommending that you consider ordinance 2026, 1337 amending the city's

1550
02:08:47,500 --> 02:08:54,360
code of ordinances by amending in its entirety chapter 24 building regulations article 20404 flood

1551
02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:59,620
damage prevention establishing the regulations for development of special flood ads or areas and

1552
02:08:59,620 --> 02:09:07,020
floodways within the city. First of two. Okay councilman. How entertain a motion. I make a motion we

1553
02:09:07,020 --> 02:09:10,960
approve ordinance 2026, 1337, as read by Sonny.

1554
02:09:11,220 --> 02:09:12,820
Okay. Thank you.

1555
02:09:13,080 --> 02:09:13,280
Second.

1556
02:09:13,980 --> 02:09:14,960
I'm going to have a second.

1557
02:09:15,420 --> 02:09:16,000
I'll approach him.

1558
02:09:17,380 --> 02:09:17,860
Brian.

1559
02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:19,020
All right.

1560
02:09:19,840 --> 02:09:21,120
Any further discussion and questions?

1561
02:09:21,160 --> 02:09:22,380
All in favor say aye.

1562
02:09:22,680 --> 02:09:22,820
Aye.

1563
02:09:23,020 --> 02:09:23,200
All right.

1564
02:09:23,300 --> 02:09:23,900
That was a follow-up.

1565
02:09:24,020 --> 02:09:24,320
Same side.

1566
02:09:25,180 --> 02:09:25,440
Okay.

1567
02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:26,200
Curie Zato.

1568
02:09:27,380 --> 02:09:27,660
All right.

1569
02:09:27,900 --> 02:09:28,760
Late work session.

1570
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:33,740
A status report on current projects and discussion of future agenda items.

1571
02:09:33,740 --> 02:09:35,180
Council does anybody have anything?

1572
02:09:40,500 --> 02:09:41,220
If

1573
02:09:44,140 --> 02:09:52,000
not, where would you like to make the gavel and say, we're adjourned?

1574
02:09:54,020 --> 02:09:56,840
We're adjourned at 8.8 pm.

1575
02:09:57,580 --> 02:09:58,380
8.8 pm.

1576
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:00,020
8.8 pm.

1577
02:10:00,380 --> 02:10:01,040
Thank you for coming.
