1
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:50,520
There

2
00:03:54,390 --> 00:04:14,670
are all the time. And I just wanted to find out why I found out also that that particular land belongs to the city. And if the museum is there on the city property, how come they can't cut their own gas and trim their own trees? It was three city workers, they're working.

3
00:04:14,670 --> 00:04:20,510
And those three city workers could have been working somewhere else out here in the public.

4
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:28,550
And also concerning the Medina County Museum, I think, in there, you know, and they don't

5
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:36,190
have anything in there concerning Mexican Americans or African Americans, all I see is just

6
00:04:36,190 --> 00:04:44,150
you know, Anglo-Saxon Museum, you know, things that are there in just from the Anglo-Saxon

7
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:52,610
community. I don't think that, you know, why are we supporting a museum that only puts up,

8
00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:57,830
you know, Anglo-Saxon, or quite things, or in the museum. You know, there's nothing in their

9
00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:04,430
concerning Mexican-American service. Indigenous people, or African-American people, you know,

10
00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:10,510
think that's a sign of white supremacy. I think that, you know, we shouldn't be cutting their

11
00:05:14,090 --> 00:05:15,450
Thank you, Mr. Clovis.

12
00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:25,240
Our consent agenda is considered self-explanatory and will be active on the Council with one motion.

13
00:05:25,980 --> 00:05:29,340
With no separate discussion, unless they are removed from the consent agenda,

14
00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:31,460
pull the request to the Mayor of our Council member.

13 consideration and approval of resolution number 489-26,

30
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,420
the city council of the city of Honda

31
00:06:52,420 --> 00:06:56,540
takes us authorizing the city manager to execute

32
00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:59,120
an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation

33
00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:01,680
for the temporary closure of a portion

34
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:08,200
a farm to market road forces to have a new year on November 19th, 2026, for the Christmas

35
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,320
in God's country parade, is to have wishing a public purpose and providing an effective

36
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:13,720
date.

37
00:07:13,940 --> 00:07:19,500
And we've had these items to look at, I don't know, to lose their needs as our need to

38
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:20,720
pull any of these.

39
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:40,260
Motion to approve the consent agenda. Some of have a motion for Mr. Williams, second. And I'll take a second from his leg. Any further discussion?

40
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,820
All in favor, please say aye. Aye. All in favor, please be nay. I hear no opposition. The consent agenda has approved.

41
00:07:48,940 --> 00:07:54,760
Under other business item number 14 is a public hearing on the proposed budget.

42
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:04,680
We're a physical year of 2026-2027, we presented by Mr. Hill and Mr. Nara, and we will open

43
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:12,600
our public hearing at 6-07, and the first part of that, then we'll be the staff presentation.

44
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,220
So Mayor Council members, citizens, I'm pleased to present the City Hondo's budget for

45
00:08:22,220 --> 00:08:29,360
fiscal year, 2,026,27, balance at $29,613,485.

46
00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:33,080
Build a server community well in the year to end.

47
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:37,160
It carries out the priorities council set during its budget workshop

48
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,360
and reflects the steady practical approach on those known for.

49
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,080
Our general fund expenditures are smaller than a year ago,

50
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,500
due in part to the wind down of one time grant funded projects.

51
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,700
At the same time, reducing our workforce,

52
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:52,860
largely through attrition has allowed the city of Hondo to run even

53
00:08:52,860 --> 00:08:57,060
leaner and to shift funding toward infrastructure into the core services

54
00:08:57,060 --> 00:08:58,600
our residents depend on.

55
00:08:59,780 --> 00:09:04,640
As we, even as we tighten our operations, we still made it a point to take care of

56
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,200
our team.

57
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:11,780
The budget funds, a pay increase, a 3% raises the minimum wage to $16.15

58
00:09:11,780 --> 00:09:15,980
an hour, strengthens retirement and continues health coverage.

59
00:09:15,980 --> 00:09:20,720
It also funds real improvements to how we serve our community, a new assistant city manager

60
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,120
position, a dedicated recreation manager for a growing program, and a police department

61
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,520
reorganization that adds two lieutenant positions to strengthen, supervision, and continuity.

62
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,840
Infrastructure remains a priority across the board, and streets are clear, and clear

63
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,320
example.

64
00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:41,060
One highlight is the council's decision to add 150,000 to the street budget.

65
00:09:41,060 --> 00:09:45,400
Our current five-year plans support 500,000 a year for streets.

66
00:09:45,980 --> 00:09:49,400
We're currently looking at 750,000 in streets this year.

67
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,140
So this additional funding effectively puts us a half a year ahead of schedule, allowing

68
00:09:54,140 --> 00:09:59,600
staff to focus squarely on repairing and maintaining our roadways and making the most out

69
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,220
of every dollar.

70
00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:02,560
We're outside funding is available.

71
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,160
We will continue to pursue grants to stretch the city of Honda's resources further.

72
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,120
The council made a tough but strong long-term decision on utility rates, based on the

73
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,720
rate study completed by New Gen.

74
00:10:14,020 --> 00:10:18,000
The scenarios New Gen presented were designed to keep pace with the current and future

75
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,260
needs of the system while holding the city's emergency reserves at a healthy level.

76
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,560
It was not the easiest path but is the right one for the health of the city and keeps water

77
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:32,120
and wastewater self-supporting and funds the infrastructure our system needs.

78
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,820
Dependent of a water service is a promise we intend to keep, and this plan lets us to keep it for years to come.

79
00:10:39,140 --> 00:10:43,180
City of Hondo's comprehensive plan update will also be in full swing.

80
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:46,480
Meaningful public engagement will be at the heart of the work.

81
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,300
We hold engagement events throughout the community and focus on meeting people where they are,

82
00:10:51,580 --> 00:10:54,720
so that the plan reflects the priorities of the residents it serves.

83
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,980
The comprehensive plan will help chart Hondo's course for years to come,

84
00:10:58,980 --> 00:11:04,920
And we expect the resulting changes to zoning and land used to play a significant role in shaping the city's future.

85
00:11:06,060 --> 00:11:12,120
I am optimistic about Honda's future. We expect real growth in the years ahead, and it is a right kind of growth,

86
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,920
coming in the form of capital investment and jobs rather than just housing alone.

87
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:23,180
As it comes, we will hold to a clear principle, development pays for development, rather than extending infrastructure into new areas

88
00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:27,280
to encourage growth, we will keep our focus on repairing and strengthening the systems we

89
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,040
already have and let new development carry the cost of improvement it requires.

90
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:36,700
That approach protects our existing residents and helps the city to grow on the sound

91
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:38,040
and sustainable footing.

92
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,320
Plenty of good work remains, including our ongoing efforts to reduce the general funds reliance

93
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,860
on utility transfers, and I'm confident we are ready for it.

94
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,800
Our staff know this community and how to make every resource count.

95
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,880
My thanks to the Department Directors and staff who prepared this budget and to the

96
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,500
Marin Council for the California Review and Direction.

97
00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:01,020
It is a privilege to serve the Hondo community and I look forward to the year

98
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:01,440
ahead.

99
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,000
Great jobs on.

100
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:12,800
I just had a couple of comments on some numbers.

101
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,380
Where it says that we raised the street budget 150,000.

102
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:19,260
Our capital plan was 500,000.

103
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,600
We had already added 100,000 in the budget, so we had 600,000.

104
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,220
And the way I had the 150 from the meetings were actually

105
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:29,040
budgets in 750,000 for streets.

106
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:30,380
That's in the budget.

107
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,140
The just to reiterate on the actual budget number

108
00:12:35,140 --> 00:12:39,900
is $29,613.485.

109
00:12:40,140 --> 00:12:44,460
That is a decline in expenditures of $639,630.

110
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,360
And that comes from the general one, as he mentioned,

111
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:49,020
because we had one-time grants that we

112
00:12:49,020 --> 00:12:52,040
had in last year's budget, for example,

113
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:57,620
the teetham grant that comes away, and then the police grants is really the big number.

114
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,520
There's about a half million dollars of police grants in the last budget.

115
00:13:01,180 --> 00:13:05,640
We make it those again, but until we get approved for those, we don't put those in the budget,

116
00:13:06,380 --> 00:13:08,320
because that approval hasn't happened yet.

117
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,360
If it occurs, then we'll do a budget and then we'll add a back.

118
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,680
Before on the police grants.

119
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:20,340
So the grants are really the big difference of why the expenses are declining year over year.

120
00:13:24,850 --> 00:13:29,050
anything any any other highlight that you'd like to point out.

121
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:32,960
I would just

122
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:39,260
reiterate that we did go through a long schedule of

123
00:13:42,390 --> 00:13:45,330
getting input from staff and

124
00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:48,230
going forward with the

125
00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:53,290
beginning back in April and then in July we had

126
00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:58,290
budget workshops. These were open and then we've had some other discussions since

127
00:13:58,290 --> 00:14:04,970
And then we got the figures from our tax assessor collector, and that's the figures that

128
00:14:04,970 --> 00:14:06,010
we're working off of.

129
00:14:06,110 --> 00:14:15,790
They're not ours, and we've got a schedule, which we were following, and so I appreciate

130
00:14:15,790 --> 00:14:23,020
everybody's work on this, it really makes a difference.

131
00:14:23,020 --> 00:14:32,580
it as the manager alluded to, it's some of the lives we're happy of there and others.

132
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:39,570
But, right team work from everybody though, elected officials staff, everybody.

133
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:44,380
It's from staff.

134
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:52,040
All right, this time then we'll entertain public comments and we have a gentleman, George Adams,

135
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,260
from 706, 30th, 30th Street, just big reference to the budget.

136
00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:57,300
We should have a seat.

137
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,480
So, which is Pearson, have a population that is about the same as Honda, as by Census Bureau of 2020, five estimates.

138
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:12,120
Another similar town is Florida with a population of 9,105.

139
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:14,720
That's 25 fewer people than Honda.

140
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,800
Floors bills on the South East Side and San Antonio just a few miles southeast of 1604.

141
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:28,760
It's fiscal year 27, proposed expenditure for the Police Department is around $270,000 less than Honda's.

142
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,680
Pondo's proposed budget described an effort to reduce the general funds for lines on utility transfers.

143
00:15:36,420 --> 00:15:40,980
I believe over-sizing the police department contributes to this general fund problem.

144
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,740
Lores don't describe their command structure as a chief, a lieutenant and two patrol sergeants.

145
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,380
So why does Honda need an additional lieutenant and an additional patrol sergeant?

146
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,500
Also, I don't see an assistant police chief listed for either peer-solve or floor's bill.

147
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,800
I'm asking the council to consider whether Honda leaves a police department of 27.

148
00:16:05,220 --> 00:16:12,820
And whether it can or should be reduced to 25 or fewer by eliminating at least the extra patrol sergeant in extra lieutenant,

149
00:16:13,460 --> 00:16:18,320
I'm also asking the council to consider whether Honda leaves the spend so much on this police department.

150
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,320
reducing the police department's size and cost would allow the general fund to be less

151
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,720
reliant on utility transfers, a stated ongoing effort by the city that does not appear

152
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:36,560
all that successful, with its $5.9 million of transfers into a $12.2 million general fund.

153
00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:43,660
Covering excessive grant fund or covering excessive general fund expenditures for utilities,

154
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:48,300
and

155
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:50,860
is not helpful for the residents and businesses.

156
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:55,080
The city could instead lower utility rates if it stopped and

157
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,400
success is spending from the general fund.

158
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,420
In addition to lowering utility rates, savings could be put

159
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:05,180
to better use, better uses, that feeding a bigger pyramid

160
00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:07,520
command structure at this police department.

161
00:17:08,580 --> 00:17:11,360
For example, spend the savings on programs for the kids

162
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:13,040
that's a library and rec center.

163
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,660
Maybe spend it on additional after school and summer programs.

164
00:17:17,660 --> 00:17:30,740
I believe continued additional expenditures on streets as needed and can be good, can be a good use for these savings, but general fund expenses for streets is only half of that proposed for the police department.

165
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:37,980
And the street department has only ten employees compared to the proposed police department's 27.

166
00:17:39,180 --> 00:17:47,000
I think the water waste water rates study is good, but it over inflates costs due to high transfers

167
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:53,480
to the general fund. Within this rate study the graphic on page 53 of the proposed budget

168
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,240
does not appear to show declining transfers over time, so it does not appear to be

169
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:06,140
the city as serious about reducing transfers from utilities. I would ask the Council to control

170
00:18:06,140 --> 00:18:11,380
the city's excessive spending from the general fund, and start lowering utility rates instead

171
00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:16,020
of increasing them. I appreciate your service to the city. Have a very nice evening.

172
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:16,900
Thank you, Mr. Adams.

173
00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:23,140
We also have another two-speak, and that's Mr. Shavel Lopez,

174
00:18:23,660 --> 00:18:34,520
one-thousand-two Avenue House. Yes, I learned going to the budget workshops that the city's

175
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:41,920
proposing, I don't know, the city manager proposing that to the council that the city needs

176
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:49,540
an assistant city manager, which I don't think that the city does for the size of the city

177
00:18:49,540 --> 00:18:56,640
of Honda, you know, and also that I saw that the assistant city manager is going to cost

178
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:10,120
the city, $50,000 more in the budget, and also I saw that the city was Mr. Iquart

179
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:19,420
proposed that the entry level for the city be $17 an hour, and I saw in the budget that

180
00:19:19,420 --> 00:19:29,300
only they put on their proposed only $6, I mean $16 and $15, I don't see how we can increase

181
00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:37,100
the assistance city manager by $50,000, but yet we can increase the minimum entry level

182
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:49,320
to $17 an hour and then also that in August the inflation rate went up 3.4% and gasoline

183
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:56,320
going up, the also food going up, rant going everything is going up because of the inflation

184
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:02,260
because of the Iran war and because of the tariffs and all that, the President Trump

185
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:02,960
has initiated.

186
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:12,560
And also the thing that you're proposing, you know, only a 3% increase for all sitting for

187
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:18,360
the sitting employees, I think with the inflation rate that's going on is going up right

188
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:28,720
that at least the city where Chris should be given a 5% increase and so that's my proposal

189
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:37,200
for the 26th, 27 but thank you. Thank you, Mr. Lovis. For clarification, Council.

190
00:20:39,660 --> 00:20:39,880
This

191
00:20:42,190 --> 00:20:47,250
is only a agenda we can discuss this, these ideas, right?

192
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,580
So you guys have

193
00:20:56,420 --> 00:20:57,560
a present day

194
00:20:59,930 --> 00:21:02,030
to think that you get public hearing,

195
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,280
I'll tell you this discussion would be limited.

196
00:21:10,570 --> 00:21:13,910
It's only a general, it just sounds like a discussion of my most of the council.

197
00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:16,870
Right, I mean, we appreciate the input from our citizens.

198
00:21:17,730 --> 00:21:19,830
And I'm just a couple

199
00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:25,200
of things occurred to me in terms of clarification.

200
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,220
But I want us to go by.

201
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,500
Well, I mean, you can put out all the comments go first.

202
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,580
And then is there any points of clarification

203
00:21:34,580 --> 00:21:37,840
that you may need to be made to make them just be like?

204
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,000
But as far as I say, it's a public hearing item,

205
00:21:40,220 --> 00:21:44,320
so it's not a well-end interaction.

206
00:21:44,780 --> 00:21:50,020
Well, they're going to have to take out the public hearing.

207
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,320
Who will read these speakers?

208
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,260
And then if they're going to be clarification,

209
00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:55,120
maybe I'll give you a third question.

210
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,740
OK, and that would be after we close the public hearing?

211
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,080
Yeah, all right.

212
00:22:01,460 --> 00:22:02,280
Is there any other?

213
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:09,360
And in fact, it's a lot of the fact that they hadn't signed up, I'm going to give a chance for any other citizen to address the budget.

214
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:38,200
As I mentioned, we went through months of looking at this and had a lot of input, and some given

215
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:51,940
take between council and staff on various things. I appreciate the concerns that are aired. I would ask if someone

216
00:22:51,940 --> 00:23:00,580
nose, if Pierce Hall and floors will supply school resource officers because that's four of our number.

217
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,160
I would also invite Mr. Adams to take a ride along with the police department at some time.

218
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:18,380
There's public safety as a number one concern among citizens and I think this council takes it seriously.

219
00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:49,320
So I talked about that. The previous council meeting and although it's not real clear from here, you can't see the layout from peer saw, but they don't include that in their command structure.

220
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:55,240
And when I talked about it last time, I subtracted it out, and it still shows your extra

221
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,940
lieutenant and your extra patrol sergeant when I subtracted it out.

222
00:24:00,820 --> 00:24:05,280
So they originally called for 20 on their police force.

223
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,640
They actually, they actually recently, in their fiscal year 26 budget, added four more patrol

224
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,040
officers.

225
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,000
So they kept the flat structure without adding more to this pyramid type command structure.

226
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,440
So, I mean, they did some good things.

227
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,100
Well, my question had to do with the School of Resource Officers,

228
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,620
because four of our officers are dedicated to that.

229
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:37,160
And so, do you know if personnel have school of resource officers provided by the City

230
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,700
or if floors will do that?

231
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,140
Yes.

232
00:24:39,660 --> 00:24:49,160
What I'm reading here, is that the HRSA-LISD maintains its own HRSA-LISD police department,

233
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,380
And right now I am currently in

234
00:24:58,370 --> 00:25:01,610
six, eight, nine, nine officers,

235
00:25:05,140 --> 00:25:10,220
nine officers, one, nine officers that belong to the various allies need at least a partner.

236
00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:13,840
Okay, but that's separate from the city, absolutely right.

237
00:25:14,220 --> 00:25:19,640
And then that's why I said I just wanted a little clarification in there in terms of the numbers.

238
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:26,680
You know, before you all move off from the side of them, still all of them are some action to be taken.

239
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:34,080
In this case, an action would be to postpone action to adopt the budget to the following year of 28.

240
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,920
Why would we want to postpone the budget?

241
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,220
No, for what reason?

242
00:25:39,820 --> 00:25:41,780
No, because you guys are not out there.

243
00:25:42,180 --> 00:25:43,080
I know.

244
00:25:43,260 --> 00:25:44,200
We're not adopting the budget.

245
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,520
We have the hearing one time and then the following meeting we do this.

246
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,840
But I'll stay a lot of requires there to be action after the moment hearing on the budget.

247
00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:03,100
So, that action can simply be a motion to postpone the adoption of the budget, which we have

248
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:14,500
in our state of motion, then to adopt our budget on the 28th of September at six o'clock in

249
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:17,660
it or take a second and a second from Miss Lange.

250
00:26:21,050 --> 00:26:22,450
Only heels of that.

251
00:26:23,090 --> 00:26:23,810
I don't know them.

252
00:26:26,010 --> 00:26:27,650
Only heels of that item.

253
00:26:27,910 --> 00:26:33,330
Number 15 is a public hearing on the proposed property tax rate for fiscal year

254
00:26:33,330 --> 00:26:35,570
2,026,027.

255
00:26:36,590 --> 00:26:40,970
And our attorney has pointed out that state law says that.

256
00:26:40,970 --> 00:26:42,410
As I can chime in.

257
00:26:42,410 --> 00:26:47,910
So stay in the order car as if you had your public hearing on a taxi and you don't take

258
00:26:47,910 --> 00:26:51,170
action to do that, which you wouldn't be able to do that tonight.

259
00:26:52,830 --> 00:26:57,850
You have to postpone it for up to seven days while I'm in the public hearing.

260
00:26:58,670 --> 00:27:05,610
You guys don't have a meeting, some days from now, so my recommendation would be to just postpone

261
00:27:05,610 --> 00:27:10,970
the public hearing and have it again on the 28th, that we often adopt them because there's

262
00:27:10,970 --> 00:27:13,350
when we must see all special meeting,

263
00:27:13,570 --> 00:27:15,530
there'd be no way for you to also adopt it today.

264
00:27:16,030 --> 00:27:18,290
There's no role in mission against adhering

265
00:27:18,290 --> 00:27:22,550
and the adoption on the same date for the tax rate.

266
00:27:22,890 --> 00:27:24,770
Now, we're literally going to raise the tax rate.

267
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:27,990
Remember, the charter change on the budget itself,

268
00:27:28,210 --> 00:27:29,290
on the budget, on the budget.

269
00:27:30,070 --> 00:27:33,850
And it needs to be on a separate day of adoption of budget.

270
00:27:33,870 --> 00:27:35,910
That's why we proved the hearings of the day.

271
00:27:36,670 --> 00:27:36,690
Right.

272
00:27:36,690 --> 00:27:38,910
So the law is better than what I said.

273
00:27:39,330 --> 00:27:42,290
So when you're in the closer closer to that thing.

274
00:27:42,290 --> 00:27:43,670
Let me go ahead and ask for a motion.

275
00:27:43,910 --> 00:27:44,610
We'll do discussion.

276
00:27:45,210 --> 00:27:51,150
I would entertain a motion to postpone or to set our tax rate

277
00:27:51,150 --> 00:27:54,510
or is it a question for September the 28th?

278
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:57,030
But I had a question for Mike.

279
00:27:58,030 --> 00:28:02,530
But if we're not going to raise the tax,

280
00:28:05,140 --> 00:28:07,100
why are we...

281
00:28:07,100 --> 00:28:10,340
So most part of them, I don't know if that's been in our wills.

282
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,320
No, I'm bringing up a single issue.

283
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,800
If you have a public hearing in your text rate, and you don't adopt it today in your public

284
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,980
hearing, you have seven days from today's date to adopted.

285
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:30,400
And so if we have a public hearing, and there's no meeting scheduled seven days from

286
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,980
not to adopt that text rate, then you wouldn't be able to be out of compliance.

287
00:28:35,980 --> 00:28:38,520
So I've got some over there.

288
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,340
So on motion, I have a motion from Mr. R. T.

289
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:41,980
I

290
00:28:44,860 --> 00:28:45,600
have a second.

291
00:28:45,780 --> 00:28:46,160
Are we sure?

292
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:46,860
Well, I'm confused.

293
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:54,000
So why, if we had, do we already had the direct agreement?

294
00:28:54,260 --> 00:28:55,480
Was that on the text rate?

295
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,480
We did a public hearing on the budget.

296
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,160
On the budget of our short-term requires us to do that in two separate meetings.

297
00:29:04,340 --> 00:29:06,860
The text rate, the guys were having a public hearing the day.

298
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,460
You'd have to adopt them within seven days

299
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:14,340
from today, so would have to say, we would do the public hearing next meeting and adopted

300
00:29:14,340 --> 00:29:14,720
the same.

301
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,700
If we're out of our way today, we'll kick because of the seven-day rule.

302
00:29:20,020 --> 00:29:22,920
Y'all warn your attention to seven-day all the seven-day from the budget.

303
00:29:23,260 --> 00:29:26,220
Well, seven days, seven from the tax public hearing.

304
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,820
So how are we going to have it on the same day than the same we're going to have a tax

305
00:29:31,820 --> 00:29:31,960
rate?

306
00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:33,220
Yes.

307
00:29:33,860 --> 00:29:34,240
The tax rate.

308
00:29:34,260 --> 00:29:35,180
Just not the budget.

309
00:29:35,180 --> 00:29:59,980
It got confusing because the recent change in the charter previously we would just have the public hearing one public hearing and then we would adopt the budget and the tax rate but the charter now requires us to have a public hearing for the budget on a separate day and so it was just there was a little confusion there because state law when we look closer at it today Mike was looking at it

310
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,060
So we can do it on the same day.

311
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,540
on September the 28th.

312
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:35,240
To reschedule the public here in recent, I'm going to thank you, right?

313
00:30:35,820 --> 00:30:40,860
I would entertain motion to reschedule the public hearing on the proposed property tax, right,

314
00:30:40,940 --> 00:30:51,320
for fiscal year 2022-26, 2022-27, to 208, September 28th, is a second, a motion from

315
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,040
Mr. Torchian, I'll take a second from Dr.

316
00:30:54,820 --> 00:30:57,360
Now, that brings us, that brings us the city to deadlines.

317
00:30:57,500 --> 00:30:58,900
So we have to make sure those things are adopted.

318
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:03,080
Right, so it's 28. We ended up the budget and the

319
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:08,200
And the tax rate. Yeah, budget. Replication and then the tax rate and the public hearing for the tax rate

320
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:17,760
No, no, no, not until next time. Okay. I have a question. I think I asked this if you guys there was here

321
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:28,700
Why are you? Why are we even voting on the tax rate if we've already passed the budget to item before the tax rate is a separate

322
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:30,880
Easy, you approve your budget.

323
00:31:31,660 --> 00:31:33,340
You're budget is supported by a tax rate.

324
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,360
We have to approve the budget first,

325
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,480
followed by a replication followed by adoption

326
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,320
with tax rate.

327
00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:41,400
That's the order how you have to adopt it.

328
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,660
Now for today's meeting, since we're in that calendar issue,

329
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,220
it would have to be moved, either you guys have it today

330
00:31:50,220 --> 00:31:52,120
and then you have to adopt it or start it.

331
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,800
But yeah, it's easier for you to adopt the budget

332
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,700
and then proceed to the public hearing

333
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:03,760
on tax rate, followed by the adoption of the tax rate at the 28th, is it ever 20?

334
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:10,760
So if someone was here tonight to speak to the tax rate hearing, they wouldn't need to

335
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,040
come again next week.

336
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:12,720
Next time.

337
00:32:13,060 --> 00:32:14,400
Because it's any way out to reinforce them.

338
00:32:15,340 --> 00:32:15,600
Okay.

339
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,220
But we're not raising the taxes.

340
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,860
Well, they still have to adopt it.

341
00:32:19,860 --> 00:32:20,540
No, I know that.

342
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:21,300
That's right.

343
00:32:21,740 --> 00:32:22,360
They're right.

344
00:32:23,020 --> 00:32:23,220
You know.

345
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Okay.

346
00:32:24,740 --> 00:32:26,480
Are you clear on what you're voting?

347
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:27,360
Yes.

348
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,440
All in favor, said I. Okay. Well, she's not bad.

349
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,380
I mean, he used to be made two emotions. We did vote on the first one.

350
00:32:33,380 --> 00:32:36,040
We didn't finish the first. We had the second on the first one.

351
00:32:36,420 --> 00:32:37,580
No, I made a second.

352
00:32:38,340 --> 00:32:38,720
I was about to...

353
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,180
No, I remember we said that we were taking a match.

354
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,740
So, the motion. You're this.

355
00:32:41,740 --> 00:32:42,280
Oh, he's out.

356
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,580
He's just, he has lived the public hearing to the 28.

357
00:32:44,980 --> 00:32:45,220
Right.

358
00:32:45,820 --> 00:32:46,140
Yes.

359
00:32:46,540 --> 00:32:46,580
Okay.

360
00:32:46,580 --> 00:32:47,180
And we did that.

361
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:47,880
Yes.

362
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,440
Now we're going on that.

363
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:51,740
OK.

364
00:32:52,260 --> 00:32:53,980
I look at the secretary because this is...

365
00:32:53,980 --> 00:32:56,320
Let's just wait until he gets a new one to have a whole deal.

366
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:56,960
Give up?

367
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:57,680
Yes.

368
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,600
So, any further discussion or question?

369
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,240
All in favor say I oppose late boy.

370
00:33:05,620 --> 00:33:11,680
I have no opposition, the motion carries, and our tax rate hearing will be our next

371
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,520
meeting on 28th.

372
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:14,960
I don't remember 16.

373
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,260
I would entertain a motion to adjourn.

374
00:33:17,460 --> 00:33:19,360
So, have a motion for Mr. Williams.

375
00:33:19,540 --> 00:33:20,340
That mayかな.

376
00:33:20,340 --> 00:33:21,780
And a second, from Mr.��t土.

377
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,900
Null in favor please say I I'm all in vote.

378
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:29,060
Hey, we're here in opposition. We are a driver. We had a 632.

379
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:30,820
No, that's good.
