1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,300
A workshop that started at 4:30.

2
00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:06,020
We were in executive session,
but we have nothing to report

3
00:00:06,020 --> 00:00:10,100
from executive session,
so I'm adjourning

4
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:14,060
the workshop from 4:30.

5
00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:18,110
Now we're going to call
to order the city council

6
00:00:18,110 --> 00:00:22,850
meeting for July 22, 2025.

7
00:00:22,850 --> 00:00:25,850
Please stand for the invocation
and pledge led by Council

8
00:00:25,850 --> 00:00:26,845
Member Kent McKinney.

9
00:00:26,845 --> 00:00:32,360


10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,120
Heavenly Father, thank you
for allowing us to gather

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,640
this evening to address some
real important business as we

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,770
tackle our issues
that we've had lately.

13
00:00:43,770 --> 00:00:50,240
I want to thank you for
especially for the city staff,

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,230
first responders, really,
the whole city staff had

15
00:00:54,230 --> 00:00:58,980
to pitch in and do extra work.

16
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:04,500
Dalton, our city manager
gets special mention is

17
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:08,430
his extra effort, long
hours and providing

18
00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:13,300
really sound leadership to
the whole team here in town.

19
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:17,700
Also, the state of Texas
was fabulous in helping us

20
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:21,360
from the Texas Division
of Emergency Management

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,450
to the DPS, the Texas
Parks and Wildlife division

22
00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:29,640
with their game wardens.

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,790
Even the Cajun Navy
came in and too many

24
00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:40,530
groups to really even
begin to name them all.

25
00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:43,780
We see your hand at
work in assistance.

26
00:01:43,780 --> 00:01:48,300
We're getting with material,
with financial aid,

27
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:53,130
and with spiritual help for.

28
00:01:53,130 --> 00:01:56,220
Please keep in mind all
of those who have lost

29
00:01:56,220 --> 00:01:59,290
loved ones and possessions.

30
00:01:59,290 --> 00:02:01,250
Especially difficult
time for them.

31
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:04,960
Give us strength and
guidance as we rebuild

32
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,110
and rebuild better
our community.

33
00:02:08,110 --> 00:02:12,880
We have a long way to go and
we'll need your assistance.

34
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,620
In Jesus's name I pray.

35
00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:19,000
Amen I pledge
allegiance to the flag

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,170
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which

37
00:02:23,170 --> 00:02:24,250
it stands.

38
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:27,650
One nation under
God, indivisible,

39
00:02:27,650 --> 00:02:29,690
with liberty and
justice for all.

40
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:36,040


41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,890
Thank you, Mr.
McKinney Mr. Coons

42
00:02:41,890 --> 00:02:44,990
does not have any announcements
of community interest today.

43
00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:47,140
So does any council member
have an announcement

44
00:02:47,140 --> 00:02:48,560
of community interest.

45
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,570
No I don't know if this is
appropriate to say tonight,

46
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:56,870
but with.

47
00:02:56,870 --> 00:03:01,640
Everybody that's been here
helping and doing what

48
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,126
they can for our community.

49
00:03:03,126 --> 00:03:05,930


50
00:03:05,930 --> 00:03:11,900
There's a group that was here,
and it's the civilian crisis

51
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:20,570
response team, and one of their
team members that was down here

52
00:03:20,570 --> 00:03:23,305
went home and passed
away suddenly.

53
00:03:23,305 --> 00:03:26,510


54
00:03:26,510 --> 00:03:28,550
And it was a k-9.

55
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:37,040
So I just wanted
to say Excuse me.

56
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,540
Of course.

57
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:42,020


58
00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:45,440
I want to say
thank you to Roxxy.

59
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,280
And her end of watch
was 7, 17, 20, 25.

60
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,850
So thank you.

61
00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:55,310


62
00:03:55,310 --> 00:03:56,460
To everyone assembled.

63
00:03:56,460 --> 00:04:00,920
We are a little more
casual this evening,

64
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,820
wearing casual clothes in honor
of Jeff's birthday this week.

65
00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:14,010
And amid all the tragedy
and all the destruction,

66
00:04:14,010 --> 00:04:16,350
it's important also to
remember to celebrate.

67
00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:17,579
So happy birthday, Jeff.

68
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:18,089
Thank you.

69
00:04:18,089 --> 00:04:19,579
Thank you.

70
00:04:19,579 --> 00:04:20,310
All right.

71
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:21,420
Visitors citizens.

72
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:22,920
Form do we have
anybody signed up.

73
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,520
Yes, sir.

74
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,770
We have two.

75
00:04:24,770 --> 00:04:26,000
All right, let's do those.

76
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,880
Glenn Andrew Mr. Andrew.

77
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:35,640
Andrew Glenn.

78
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,990
Andrew 3553.

79
00:04:36,990 --> 00:04:42,200
Lecumberri you have on your
desk an extended version

80
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,170
of what I'm about to share.

81
00:04:45,170 --> 00:04:47,660
The July four flood
of epic proportions

82
00:04:47,660 --> 00:04:50,030
has cast a pall of
pervasive sadness

83
00:04:50,030 --> 00:04:54,030
over our tranquil
Guadalupe River Valley.

84
00:04:54,030 --> 00:04:56,950
But I sense points of
light points of hope.

85
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:57,700
That's it.

86
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:00,300
Hope is a necessary ingredient
for successful recovery

87
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,150
and rebuilding our
communities, refusing

88
00:05:03,150 --> 00:05:06,570
to yield to the angry waters.

89
00:05:06,570 --> 00:05:08,200
Why do I have this hope.

90
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,760
The thousand points of light
offering us hope and recovery

91
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,990
by the people who came from near
and far, just to help Texans

92
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:18,540
in any manner they could.

93
00:05:18,540 --> 00:05:21,570
Our community's gratitude
to these and to many others

94
00:05:21,570 --> 00:05:25,020
is immeasurable and
will never ceasefire.

95
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:27,630
But many of the points of
light and reason I have hope

96
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:30,000
are sitting in
this room tonight.

97
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,910
The Kerrville city staff
have been exemplary,

98
00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:36,820
leading the efforts of
rescuing, recovering, reporting,

99
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:39,630
developing future
plans, all the while

100
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:43,050
keeping our city
operating, whether visible

101
00:05:43,050 --> 00:05:43,973
or behind the scenes.

102
00:05:43,973 --> 00:05:48,120


103
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,910
You operated without boundaries,
the city's first responders have

104
00:05:51,910 --> 00:05:54,460
been heroes without boundaries.

105
00:05:54,460 --> 00:05:57,490
The Cape pub team has determined
in their determined actions

106
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:59,980
to restore power to
the entire flooded area

107
00:05:59,980 --> 00:06:04,840
was astounding, all for
the Kerrville community.

108
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:09,460
To those five individuals
behind the city council dais,

109
00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:11,840
none of you, when
standing for election,

110
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:15,790
imagine in your wildest
fears the July four event.

111
00:06:15,790 --> 00:06:17,690
We don't control those events.

112
00:06:17,690 --> 00:06:22,370
We react and recover
from them in a sentence.

113
00:06:22,370 --> 00:06:25,790
You for city council
members have been leaders.

114
00:06:25,790 --> 00:06:27,650
We consider role models.

115
00:06:27,650 --> 00:06:30,830
You have been in too many
but necessary meetings.

116
00:06:30,830 --> 00:06:33,950
Your community has been hugged
by you and the flower Memorial.

117
00:06:33,950 --> 00:06:36,580
You have directed
traffic at the ELC.

118
00:06:36,580 --> 00:06:38,990
You have shared words
laden with emotion,

119
00:06:38,990 --> 00:06:41,980
and you have cared for our
community's furry friends.

120
00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:47,230
You have endured unfair darts,
but you always demonstrated

121
00:06:47,230 --> 00:06:50,700
professional, personal,
insightful and deeply caring

122
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:54,240
leadership without boundaries.

123
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,220
Thanks is sharp.

124
00:06:55,220 --> 00:06:55,720
For what.

125
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,550
What you are due.

126
00:06:57,550 --> 00:07:00,180
But I know I speak for the
entire Kerrville community when

127
00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:03,570
I say we are so blessed to
have the four of you sitting

128
00:07:03,570 --> 00:07:06,030
behind those in that desk.

129
00:07:06,030 --> 00:07:06,815
My here.

130
00:07:06,815 --> 00:07:09,750


131
00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:15,570
For your leadership since
early July 4 has and continues

132
00:07:15,570 --> 00:07:17,530
to be superlative.

133
00:07:17,530 --> 00:07:20,530
I am not one who believes
in predestination,

134
00:07:20,530 --> 00:07:23,280
but I do believe
raises up and empowers

135
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,770
leaders when disasters occur.

136
00:07:25,770 --> 00:07:28,680
You're the best, most
skilled individual,

137
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,490
the one who has been perfected
to be a leader at this time.

138
00:07:32,490 --> 00:07:36,270
You lead with strength,
empathy, and vision,

139
00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:37,950
but your main
leadership is the love

140
00:07:37,950 --> 00:07:40,770
for the Kerrville community.

141
00:07:40,770 --> 00:07:43,890
No one loves our community
more than mayor Joe.

142
00:07:43,890 --> 00:07:46,080
We've heard and
felt your words when

143
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,660
they were difficult to say
which captured your pain,

144
00:07:49,660 --> 00:07:52,000
your love and your faith.

145
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,560
Please pray for our community.

146
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,780
We have heard your stern
yet professionally delivered

147
00:07:57,780 --> 00:08:01,590
words saying, this is our
town and that's not how we

148
00:08:01,590 --> 00:08:03,750
act in the Kerrville community.

149
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:07,120
Your words and actions share our
pain, but it also gives us hope.

150
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,100
Joe mayor.

151
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:11,320
You've been the leader of
the Kerrville community,

152
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,380
and we are truly blessed
to have you answering

153
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:15,840
to the title of Mayor.

154
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,600
Thanks be to God for mayor
Joe, the Kerrville city

155
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,120
council, our staff, and the
thousand points of hope,

156
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,800
we will recover.

157
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,910
We will be the Kerrville
community again.

158
00:08:26,910 --> 00:08:30,750
And you, all 5 and
the staff are some

159
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:33,970
of the most important points
of hope that will lead us back.

160
00:08:33,970 --> 00:08:35,590
Thank you very much.

161
00:08:35,590 --> 00:08:36,400
Thank you.

162
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,020
Thank you.

163
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:38,549
Thank you.

164
00:08:38,549 --> 00:08:40,860
Thank you.

165
00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:42,600
Paul Mitchell.

166
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,190
Mitchell thank you.

167
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:46,180
Thank you.

168
00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:49,090
Thank you.

169
00:08:49,090 --> 00:08:50,920
My name is Paul Mitchell.

170
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,970
1,300 Barbara Ann street.

171
00:08:52,970 --> 00:08:57,220
And I wish I didn't
have to follow that,

172
00:08:57,220 --> 00:09:03,250
but too, am here to express a
sentiment of gratitude and hope.

173
00:09:03,250 --> 00:09:09,700
And, Mayor, you ended the
last session quoting Rogers.

174
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:11,530
Well, I'm going to
quote a different Rogers

175
00:09:11,530 --> 00:09:14,870
doctor, Adrian Rogers, a great
preacher of the last century.

176
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:19,150
He said it doesn't take
much size to criticize.

177
00:09:19,150 --> 00:09:20,750
Well, I'm not here to criticize.

178
00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:25,070
I want to exhort and encourage
you, along with this brother,

179
00:09:25,070 --> 00:09:29,750
here, to express a sentiment
of gratitude, first of all.

180
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:33,050
And that's for each and every
one of you elected officials,

181
00:09:33,050 --> 00:09:34,310
all the elected officials.

182
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:39,340
We as a community are grateful
for you and what you're doing

183
00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:42,820
and how you're doing it.

184
00:09:42,820 --> 00:09:48,330
A tremendous expression of
humility and compassion.

185
00:09:48,330 --> 00:09:48,940
Thank you.

186
00:09:48,940 --> 00:09:52,610


187
00:09:52,610 --> 00:09:55,900
We're grateful for the local
individual volunteers, the

188
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:59,030
businesses and the churches.

189
00:09:59,030 --> 00:10:02,580
Staggering it's awesome
what they're doing.

190
00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:04,170
There's plenty of water.

191
00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:07,910
There's plenty of food.

192
00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:09,830
Plenty of shelter.

193
00:10:09,830 --> 00:10:13,680
That's an awesome thing to be
able to say in a time like this.

194
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,440
A lot of disasters
in other parts

195
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,360
of this country where
they didn't get anything,

196
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,620
they didn't have anything.

197
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:20,960
We have it.

198
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,380
And it's a lot to
be grateful for.

199
00:10:23,380 --> 00:10:26,330


200
00:10:26,330 --> 00:10:30,060
I saw a church that had a
person taking no more donations.

201
00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:34,620
The gym was full of water and
people wanting to bring more.

202
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:36,030
A lot to be grateful for.

203
00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:39,620
Grateful for the state
and federal resources.

204
00:10:39,620 --> 00:10:44,560
The helicopters I was able
to deal with the gentleman.

205
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,200
He's tired of the helicopters.

206
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,800
They bother me.

207
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,450
They hurt me.

208
00:10:48,450 --> 00:10:49,690
It just reminds me.

209
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:52,090
I said no, we got to
be grateful for them.

210
00:10:52,090 --> 00:10:53,700
What if we didn't have them.

211
00:10:53,700 --> 00:11:00,000
But the helicopters and all of
the state and federal resources

212
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,480
that have come to our aid.

213
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,660
There's a lot to
be grateful for.

214
00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:09,540
I can't get my
mind around how all

215
00:11:09,540 --> 00:11:13,560
of the non-local volunteers,
they didn't vet us,

216
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,310
they didn't judge us.

217
00:11:15,310 --> 00:11:19,620
They just came running in,
just come running in the lot

218
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:21,730
to be grateful for.

219
00:11:21,730 --> 00:11:23,320
It's actually staggering.

220
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,580
Now, what are we hoping for.

221
00:11:26,580 --> 00:11:32,220
This is, as a community,
what we're hoping for

222
00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:34,480
to be able to say if and when.

223
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,290
And it's likely it will,
that this gorge, this river

224
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:40,350
will flood again.

225
00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:42,000
We want to be able
to say that we

226
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,460
endure that without the
immense loss of life.

227
00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:50,340
That's what we're hoping for.

228
00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:53,670
It wouldn't be realistic to
hope that it never floods.

229
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:56,170
At least we can't see that now.

230
00:11:56,170 --> 00:11:59,850
But we can hope of
getting to a place where

231
00:11:59,850 --> 00:12:01,180
we know it's going to flood.

232
00:12:01,180 --> 00:12:02,530
If it does flood.

233
00:12:02,530 --> 00:12:06,480
We don't experience
the immense casualties

234
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,700
that we did this time.

235
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:11,700


236
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:15,960
I don't think we're far
from connecting those dots.

237
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,410
I believe that can happen.

238
00:12:17,410 --> 00:12:21,210
And I know many are
already working on it.

239
00:12:21,210 --> 00:12:26,500
We can employ the technology
and hit that advancing high bar.

240
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,860
And that's what I want
to encourage you guys

241
00:12:28,860 --> 00:12:30,700
and exhort you guys in.

242
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:34,590
It's incumbent upon
you to see that those

243
00:12:34,590 --> 00:12:38,290
above you and on up
the line don't forget.

244
00:12:38,290 --> 00:12:40,660
And that we get that
technology, that we

245
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:42,440
get those things in places.

246
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,730
It's incumbent on our elected
leaders to get that done,

247
00:12:46,730 --> 00:12:49,570
and it's incumbent on
individuals like myself

248
00:12:49,570 --> 00:12:51,160
to press you.

249
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,660
May God may yahuwah bless
you and keep you and cause

250
00:12:55,660 --> 00:12:57,200
his face to shine upon you.

251
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,980
Thank you.

252
00:12:57,980 --> 00:12:58,745
Thanks, Paul.

253
00:12:58,745 --> 00:13:02,980


254
00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:03,620
All right.

255
00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:05,480
And that's the end of
the citizen speakers.

256
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,050
Thank you.

257
00:13:06,050 --> 00:13:09,100
The next item on the agenda
is the consent agenda.

258
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:11,500
All items are considered
routine and can be approved

259
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:13,540
in one motion unless a
council member, staff

260
00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:15,970
or member of the public asks
for separate consideration

261
00:13:15,970 --> 00:13:17,920
of an item.

262
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,140
Council staff.

263
00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:21,710
Public all right.

264
00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:23,830
I would entertain a motion.

265
00:13:23,830 --> 00:13:26,620
I move to approve
the consent agenda.

266
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:28,910
Second Motion has been
made and seconded.

267
00:13:28,910 --> 00:13:31,000
Any discussion.

268
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,730
All in favor.

269
00:13:31,730 --> 00:13:33,340
So vote.

270
00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:34,490
Passes unanimously.

271
00:13:34,490 --> 00:13:37,640


272
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,380
Item for a resolution
number 2025.

273
00:13:42,380 --> 00:13:45,080
Sorry 20 2025.

274
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,840
Concerning the transfer of
ownership of funds from the city

275
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,970
of Kerrville to the city
of Kerrville employee

276
00:13:49,970 --> 00:13:54,560
benefit trust MS Meissner.

277
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,940
Sir OK.

278
00:13:56,940 --> 00:13:59,330
Just a shorter version
of what we went through

279
00:13:59,330 --> 00:14:01,340
at the four o'clock meeting.

280
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:04,320
City core and voluntary
benefits are core benefits.

281
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,350
That's the benefits that
the city contributes

282
00:14:06,350 --> 00:14:08,270
to the cost of these benefits.

283
00:14:08,270 --> 00:14:10,340
Medical, dental
life and accidental

284
00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:12,930
death and dismemberment
and long term disability.

285
00:14:12,930 --> 00:14:15,710
The voluntary benefits, where
there's no city contribution

286
00:14:15,710 --> 00:14:18,420
to the benefits is vision,
supplemental life and AD&D,

287
00:14:18,420 --> 00:14:20,630
and short term disability.

288
00:14:20,630 --> 00:14:24,470
Aflac and mass of the
emergency medical transport.

289
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:25,970
For our benefit
budget, the total

290
00:14:25,970 --> 00:14:31,020
estimated cost of benefits is
$12,576 per employee per year.

291
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:33,300
Our budget is 12,900.

292
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:36,510
It's more than what we estimate
because the medical bids were

293
00:14:36,510 --> 00:14:41,650
based on 322 employees,
dental on 321 life AD&D,

294
00:14:41,650 --> 00:14:45,900
and long term disability
bids based on 323 employees.

295
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:48,790
We're budgeting
for 347 employees,

296
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:50,590
and if we are ever
fully staffed,

297
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:53,760
we will need funding to pay the
city portion of the benefits

298
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,300
selected by the employee.

299
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:58,720
In addition, changes in
coverage cannot be predicted.

300
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,140
We'd also, like the council,
are asking the council

301
00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:03,360
to authorize the use of the
employee benefit reserve

302
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,070
if needed, to pay
for any overages.

303
00:15:06,070 --> 00:15:08,910
So the council action tonight
is due to the action taken

304
00:15:08,910 --> 00:15:11,640
by the trustees of the city of
Kerrville employee benefit trust

305
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,490
to approve the 2026
employee benefit

306
00:15:14,490 --> 00:15:16,570
plans, rates and funding.

307
00:15:16,570 --> 00:15:20,980
Staff recommends council adopt
resolution number 20 2025,

308
00:15:20,980 --> 00:15:22,500
authorizing the transfer
of the ownership

309
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:23,880
of funds from the
city of Kerrville

310
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,910
to the city of Kerrville.

311
00:15:24,910 --> 00:15:27,360
Employee benefit trust to
pay for employee related

312
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,380
group benefits for FY 2026.

313
00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:33,580
Any questions for MS meissner?

314
00:15:33,580 --> 00:15:35,960
We did have a workshop
on this earlier,

315
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,480
so we had a series of
questions at that time.

316
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,860
Is there a motion then on
this transfer of funds.

317
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:45,650
I'll make a motion.

318
00:15:45,650 --> 00:15:47,370
Oh go ahead.

319
00:15:47,370 --> 00:15:47,870
Go ahead.

320
00:15:47,870 --> 00:15:48,820
Your turn.

321
00:15:48,820 --> 00:15:50,380
I did the last one.

322
00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:55,340
Anyway, I would move to approve
resolution number 20 2025.

323
00:15:55,340 --> 00:15:58,700
Second Motion has been
made and seconded.

324
00:15:58,700 --> 00:15:59,890
Any discussion.

325
00:15:59,890 --> 00:16:00,590
All in favor.

326
00:16:00,590 --> 00:16:01,840
So vote.

327
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,220
Passes unanimously.

328
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:08,690
Item 4 B resolution
number 21, 2025.

329
00:16:08,690 --> 00:16:11,830
A resolution authorizing
the Kerr County tax assessor

330
00:16:11,830 --> 00:16:14,680
to calculate the voter
approval tax rate in the manner

331
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,980
provided for a
special taxing unit.

332
00:16:17,980 --> 00:16:20,650
And, Mayor, we do have four
citizen speakers signed

333
00:16:20,650 --> 00:16:23,140
up after the presentation.

334
00:16:23,140 --> 00:16:24,670
We'll get to the speakers.

335
00:16:24,670 --> 00:16:26,440
Good evening, Mayor and council.

336
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,400
So hot topic tonight.

337
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,190
I'm going to try
to give this to you

338
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:33,560
the best that I can in
a simple way as I can.

339
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,850
Bob Reeves, the Kerr County
tax assessor collector,

340
00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:37,040
is here as well.

341
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,190
If you need any
other information

342
00:16:40,190 --> 00:16:41,490
regarding this resolution.

343
00:16:41,490 --> 00:16:42,600
But I do want to make it clear.

344
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,020
We're not here to discuss
proposing or setting a tax rate.

345
00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:48,120
I want to make that clear
before we get into this.

346
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,650
And so if you'll indulge me to
walk through this presentation

347
00:16:51,650 --> 00:16:53,990
with you, then I can answer
any specific questions

348
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:56,720
that you have after that.

349
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,480
So information about
the resolutions section

350
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,440
2020 2642 of the Texas
tax code basically

351
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,079
says that when there's a
disaster, the tax assessor

352
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,180
collector who
calculates our tax rate

353
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:10,940
and as during our
budget process,

354
00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:16,010
can calculate the voter
approval rate at 8% over the no

355
00:17:16,010 --> 00:17:18,079
new revenue rate
instead of 3.5% I

356
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:19,970
know this gets very
complicated, and people love it

357
00:17:19,970 --> 00:17:22,589
when I talk about property,
tax and budget presentations,

358
00:17:22,589 --> 00:17:24,869
so I won't get too
deep into calculation.

359
00:17:24,869 --> 00:17:30,300
But basically what this means is
that currently the tax assessor

360
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:33,510
calculates our tax rate, our
no new revenue and our voter

361
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:35,890
approval rates based
on Senate Bill 2,

362
00:17:35,890 --> 00:17:38,340
which basically says that
our voter approval rate

363
00:17:38,340 --> 00:17:40,170
for the portion of
our taxes cannot

364
00:17:40,170 --> 00:17:43,930
be more than 3.5% over the
calculation of new revenue rate.

365
00:17:43,930 --> 00:17:45,640
So that's kind of
in simple form.

366
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,110
What this resolution
does is direct him by,

367
00:17:50,110 --> 00:17:53,460
according to state law, to
calculate that rate for us

368
00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:57,210
also at an 8% which is allowable
under the disaster rate

369
00:17:57,210 --> 00:17:58,740
within the code.

370
00:17:58,740 --> 00:18:01,620
So this resolution is just
directing him to calculate that

371
00:18:01,620 --> 00:18:03,780
so that we have the
information as we

372
00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:05,700
start talking more
about budget and how

373
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:06,850
that's going to impact us.

374
00:18:06,850 --> 00:18:08,560
We're not proposing a tax rate.

375
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,350
You're not taking any action
on a tax rate whatsoever.

376
00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:13,300
Without this directive
from council,

377
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:16,690
then the tax assessor collector
cannot calculate this at the 8%

378
00:18:16,690 --> 00:18:19,860
He has to calculate it under
SB 2, which is at the 3.5%

379
00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:21,280
that we typically see.

380
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,880
So budget and tax
rating process,

381
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,820
budget, and tax setting process
is going to continue as normal.

382
00:18:27,820 --> 00:18:31,270
So I know we've pushed one
of our budget workshops

383
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:33,490
just because of the flood,
and I think none of us

384
00:18:33,490 --> 00:18:35,260
were really in the
right frame of mind

385
00:18:35,260 --> 00:18:37,430
to be doing a budget
workshop in that week.

386
00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:40,150
So we'll be doing
that on the 29th.

387
00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:42,520
It's a little bit later than we
would like to although we have

388
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,040
had one budget workshop
already and lots of discussions

389
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,450
about this.

390
00:18:46,450 --> 00:18:48,730
So we can't even
consider a tax rate

391
00:18:48,730 --> 00:18:50,810
until the calculation is done.

392
00:18:50,810 --> 00:18:52,480
And so we talk a
lot about deadlines

393
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,420
and those kind of things.

394
00:18:53,420 --> 00:18:56,680
And so this is normal
process for tax rate setting.

395
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,480
And that tax rate calculation
is the basis for our budget.

396
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,050
So what are we going to do this
really it's extra due diligence

397
00:19:05,050 --> 00:19:05,690
for council.

398
00:19:05,690 --> 00:19:08,290
So it's going to let
you review a disaster

399
00:19:08,290 --> 00:19:09,950
rate during the budget process.

400
00:19:09,950 --> 00:19:12,320
See how that impacts the budget.

401
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,860
And really consider a rate
that's necessary to generate

402
00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:16,460
revenue for recovery efforts.

403
00:19:16,460 --> 00:19:18,790
So this is not something
that we're saying

404
00:19:18,790 --> 00:19:20,000
we should go and do this.

405
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:20,900
We shouldn't go do this.

406
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:24,250
It just gives us a mechanism to
look at what that looks like.

407
00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:25,010
Other notes.

408
00:19:25,010 --> 00:19:27,230
Just for clarification,
it's too early for us

409
00:19:27,230 --> 00:19:30,090
to estimate damage or loss to
city property or infrastructure.

410
00:19:30,090 --> 00:19:32,450
And we talked about
this a lot in workshop.

411
00:19:32,450 --> 00:19:34,080
We talked about
recovery actions.

412
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,770
So I won't go
through those again.

413
00:19:36,770 --> 00:19:40,710
But remember that not everything
that we do will be reimbursable,

414
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:42,830
and it will be
potentially several years

415
00:19:42,830 --> 00:19:45,260
before we see any
reimbursement to this.

416
00:19:45,260 --> 00:19:48,290
It's too early for us to
estimate a proposed tax rate.

417
00:19:48,290 --> 00:19:51,780
I did talk to Kirkwood and they
are planning on certifying,

418
00:19:51,780 --> 00:19:55,110
so we won't see that until the
25th of September at that time.

419
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:57,360
Then Bob will start his
calculation process.

420
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,580
And we'll go through the
scenarios that we usually do,

421
00:19:59,580 --> 00:20:02,430
and we'll be bringing you
multiple scenarios, as always,

422
00:20:02,430 --> 00:20:06,140
based on if then situations with
multiple different scenarios

423
00:20:06,140 --> 00:20:07,880
for tax rates to consider.

424
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,380
When we talk to you on
the 29th and as always,

425
00:20:10,380 --> 00:20:12,770
we'll bring you impact to
homeowners based on various

426
00:20:12,770 --> 00:20:14,600
scenarios that we bring.

427
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,660
I think it's also important to
point out that property owners

428
00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:19,290
can apply for exemptions.

429
00:20:19,290 --> 00:20:21,570
So for someone who
had damaged property,

430
00:20:21,570 --> 00:20:24,420
I know that it's been
circulating a little bit,

431
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:26,760
about taxing people
on losses, but they

432
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,120
do have an exemption process.

433
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,060
So for people who
have losses, they

434
00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:31,510
can apply for that exemption.

435
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:34,950
And that is prorated based
on the time that the governor

436
00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:36,970
declared the disaster.

437
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:39,150
And so those are
available online at kerkut

438
00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:40,690
and I believe, on
Kerr county's website.

439
00:20:40,690 --> 00:20:41,830
I don't speak out
of turn on that,

440
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:44,100
but they're on
kirkwood's website.

441
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:46,530
So basically this is
just a mechanism for us

442
00:20:46,530 --> 00:20:48,210
to do a little more
due diligence as we're

443
00:20:48,210 --> 00:20:49,660
talking about the tax rate.

444
00:20:49,660 --> 00:20:55,270
So of course I'll take any
questions that you might have.

445
00:20:55,270 --> 00:20:58,360
But I have the action that
we're requesting here.

446
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,260
And that's to just approve
resolution 2021 dash

447
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:04,380
25 authorizing the Kerr
County tax assessor collector

448
00:21:04,380 --> 00:21:07,260
to calculate the voter
approval rate at 8%

449
00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:10,440
when calculating the rate
for the 2025 tax year.

450
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,340
And I am happy to
answer any questions.

451
00:21:12,340 --> 00:21:14,550
Bob is also here and
would be happy to answer

452
00:21:14,550 --> 00:21:16,390
any questions Mr.
Reeves, do you have

453
00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:22,930
any comments, sir Mayor council.

454
00:21:22,930 --> 00:21:26,670
I'm only here to
answer any questions.

455
00:21:26,670 --> 00:21:32,320
This is just a tool in the
tool belt. As MS Barron said,

456
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,600
it's not setting a tax rate.

457
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:40,140
It's just providing you with the
information to do your business.

458
00:21:40,140 --> 00:21:40,770
Thank you.

459
00:21:40,770 --> 00:21:44,190
Any questions for Mr.
Reeves or miss Barron.

460
00:21:44,190 --> 00:21:45,790
If we don't pass
this resolution,

461
00:21:45,790 --> 00:21:50,340
we do not have the option to
do anything other than the 3.5.

462
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,400
That is correct.

463
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,730
But if we do pass the option,
we still have the option

464
00:21:53,730 --> 00:21:55,330
for 3 and 1/2 the resolution.

465
00:21:55,330 --> 00:21:58,330
It's just showing you
additional scenario,

466
00:21:58,330 --> 00:22:02,406
but I can't give it to you
without the authorization.

467
00:22:02,406 --> 00:22:05,400


468
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,910
Had to be approved
by the community.

469
00:22:08,910 --> 00:22:10,020
I'm sorry ma'am.

470
00:22:10,020 --> 00:22:11,890
I knew I'd have to be
approved by the community.

471
00:22:11,890 --> 00:22:14,080
We're going to get to public
comment in just a minute.

472
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:14,830
OK OK.

473
00:22:14,830 --> 00:22:15,870
I'm sorry.

474
00:22:15,870 --> 00:22:19,890
Any other questions for
Mr. Reeves or miss behrens?

475
00:22:19,890 --> 00:22:21,130
No All right.

476
00:22:21,130 --> 00:22:22,440
Now for public comment.

477
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,360


478
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:29,480
Look, if you want to get up and
talk about tax rates, please do.

479
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,170
Please do.

480
00:22:30,170 --> 00:22:33,220
But we're not setting
a tax rate tonight.

481
00:22:33,220 --> 00:22:35,860
We're talking about
getting information

482
00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:42,130
from the tax assessor collector
on possible scenarios.

483
00:22:42,130 --> 00:22:44,860
I pay taxes.

484
00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:47,530
Everyone here pays taxes.

485
00:22:47,530 --> 00:22:50,200
I don't want my taxes to go up.

486
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,180
Also, I didn't want a flood
to come down the river

487
00:22:52,180 --> 00:22:54,850
and kill 120 people.

488
00:22:54,850 --> 00:23:00,160
OK, we're trying to
figure out how to pay

489
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,670
and how to rebuild critical
infrastructure in our community.

490
00:23:04,670 --> 00:23:08,860
We don't even have an
estimate of the total expenses

491
00:23:08,860 --> 00:23:09,585
we're facing.

492
00:23:09,585 --> 00:23:13,930


493
00:23:13,930 --> 00:23:17,740
I guarantee you.

494
00:23:17,740 --> 00:23:21,485
We will be transparent and
discuss every step of the way.

495
00:23:21,485 --> 00:23:24,030


496
00:23:24,030 --> 00:23:26,850
It's prudent in my
opinion, and we haven't

497
00:23:26,850 --> 00:23:29,410
voted in my single opinion.

498
00:23:29,410 --> 00:23:34,140
It's prudent to have the
information before us so we can

499
00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:37,500
make a more informed decision.

500
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:40,570
Does that mean we're going
to change the tax rate.

501
00:23:40,570 --> 00:23:42,430
No it doesn't.

502
00:23:42,430 --> 00:23:44,970
But if the evidence suggests
that's the most prudent

503
00:23:44,970 --> 00:23:46,676
course for our community.

504
00:23:46,676 --> 00:23:51,900


505
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:55,080
I'll be paying more
taxes next year.

506
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,730
We all will.

507
00:23:56,730 --> 00:24:04,530
We'll all be pitching in to
help rebuild our community.

508
00:24:04,530 --> 00:24:07,570
And with that said, who are our
speakers that have signed up.

509
00:24:07,570 --> 00:24:08,140
Yes, sir.

510
00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:11,040
Garrett baxby.

511
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:17,970
Garrett if you wouldn't
mind stating your name

512
00:24:17,970 --> 00:24:20,260
and if you're comfortable,
your address for the record.

513
00:24:20,260 --> 00:24:23,640
Yeah Garrett Baxley
1082 Bluebonnet.

514
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,730
I just want to say thank you
to Councilwoman, Councilwoman

515
00:24:26,730 --> 00:24:30,240
and Mr. Joe mayor Joe,
for letting us in here

516
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,900
and listening to us.

517
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,070
As I was just thinking
about what I might say,

518
00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:39,400
I don't want to bring
anything about flood victims.

519
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,450
I know y'all are.

520
00:24:40,450 --> 00:24:44,550
Your hearts are
inclined toward them.

521
00:24:44,550 --> 00:24:48,090
And as somebody who
doesn't do this very often,

522
00:24:48,090 --> 00:24:52,590
a few things just
come to mind quickly.

523
00:24:52,590 --> 00:24:56,670
I love Kerrville, and I
think there's a difference

524
00:24:56,670 --> 00:24:58,180
between liking and loving.

525
00:24:58,180 --> 00:25:01,020
And that difference
to me is that I

526
00:25:01,020 --> 00:25:05,130
want to raise a family
here, and I want to also

527
00:25:05,130 --> 00:25:07,590
bring family and friends here.

528
00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:11,010
And I know the same
is true for many

529
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:13,230
of my other extended family.

530
00:25:13,230 --> 00:25:14,020
We love it.

531
00:25:14,020 --> 00:25:16,900
We love it here.

532
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:21,250
And unfortunately, and I
know you've clarified this,

533
00:25:21,250 --> 00:25:23,870
that there's no action
being taken yet,

534
00:25:23,870 --> 00:25:27,170
but if the taxes
were to go up to 8%

535
00:25:27,170 --> 00:25:30,640
it would be very difficult
to love Kerrville in the way

536
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,950
that I want other
people to love it.

537
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:39,550
And so I'm afraid that would
be the same for many more

538
00:25:39,550 --> 00:25:44,080
people of my generation,
people my age

539
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,790
who want to love Kerrville but
wouldn't have the option to

540
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:50,510
and I would.

541
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:52,600
I would just hope
that things would

542
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:59,860
stay the way that they are,
obviously before the flood.

543
00:25:59,860 --> 00:26:03,820
And so I would just urge if
there's any action that might be

544
00:26:03,820 --> 00:26:06,100
taken later down the road,
that you all would look

545
00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:10,600
for a middle ground
that hopefully would

546
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,840
not make it hard for people.

547
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,170
My age and our families
who want to stay here.

548
00:26:19,170 --> 00:26:20,550
And thank you for your time.

549
00:26:20,550 --> 00:26:22,070
You did well.

550
00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:23,190
I was once your age.

551
00:26:23,190 --> 00:26:24,360
I raised my family here.

552
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:25,350
I hear what you're saying.

553
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:26,260
So thank you for coming.

554
00:26:26,260 --> 00:26:26,760
All right.

555
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,440
Thank you.

556
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,880
Who's next.

557
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,070
Ian Doherty.

558
00:26:31,070 --> 00:26:33,390
Ian Doherty, that
guy on your shirt.

559
00:26:33,390 --> 00:26:34,640
I met him the other day.

560
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

561
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:40,130
Well, I wish I could have
as well, but I understand.

562
00:26:40,130 --> 00:26:42,170
My name is Ian Doherty.

563
00:26:42,170 --> 00:26:45,200
I live 115 Plaza drive.

564
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,630
At the Lakeside apartments.

565
00:26:47,630 --> 00:26:52,400
I was about two blocks,
literally away from the river.

566
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:58,560
And I was one of the very lucky
few that didn't get touched.

567
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:04,520
And that is simply a
blessing of God, period.

568
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,320
God had his hand definitely
upon this community

569
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,140
and still does have his
hand upon this community.

570
00:27:12,140 --> 00:27:14,040
There are many
people around here,

571
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,170
and I thank each and every
single one of them that

572
00:27:18,170 --> 00:27:22,850
are putting their time,
their lives on hold

573
00:27:22,850 --> 00:27:25,820
to be able to help out people
that they don't even necessarily

574
00:27:25,820 --> 00:27:28,020
but they still care about.

575
00:27:28,020 --> 00:27:32,060
And not just Texans, but people
around the country and even some

576
00:27:32,060 --> 00:27:35,390
around the world that have
come here to be able to help

577
00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:39,320
Kerrville out because they
understand what's going on.

578
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,670
It's one of those
things where you

579
00:27:40,670 --> 00:27:44,990
don't quite understand it until
it actually happens to you.

580
00:27:44,990 --> 00:27:47,180
And I think a lot of
people here in Kerrville

581
00:27:47,180 --> 00:27:53,360
do finally understand
that, unfortunately.

582
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:58,770
And the reason I'm here
today is because of this.

583
00:27:58,770 --> 00:28:03,270
And I understand, as you said,
nobody wants things like that.

584
00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:04,830
Nobody wants their
taxes to go up.

585
00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:07,070
Nobody wants.

586
00:28:07,070 --> 00:28:11,070
For instance, as you said,
nobody wanted the flood to come.

587
00:28:11,070 --> 00:28:16,920
But we also do need to
take action to address

588
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,790
the situations as they are.

589
00:28:18,790 --> 00:28:20,700
And I understand
you have to have

590
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:25,830
the information to be able
to make an informed decision.

591
00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:30,660
I agree with that 100%
The one thing I do

592
00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:34,020
need to make sure
that people understand

593
00:28:34,020 --> 00:28:38,700
is that just like what happened
with the commissioner's court,

594
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:47,010
the public came out and
made a point of pointing

595
00:28:47,010 --> 00:28:48,820
all this information out.

596
00:28:48,820 --> 00:28:50,080
That may happen.

597
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,940
May not happen, but they
made a point to point it out

598
00:28:53,940 --> 00:28:56,940
and the world took notice.

599
00:28:56,940 --> 00:28:59,800
Remember what we do here today.

600
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,650
What you do here today
won't just affect Kerrville.

601
00:29:04,650 --> 00:29:07,320
Will affect this entire country.

602
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,640
And you will be
under a spotlight.

603
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,530
You will be under
a magnifying glass

604
00:29:14,530 --> 00:29:20,680
because people will look into
each and every nook and cranny

605
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,990
about what is going on.

606
00:29:22,990 --> 00:29:26,740
And I understand that
it was not exactly

607
00:29:26,740 --> 00:29:30,640
the best time to be able to
do certain things before.

608
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,650
And I think that's
one of the reasons

609
00:29:32,650 --> 00:29:35,710
that the commissioners
court got so

610
00:29:35,710 --> 00:29:41,180
much blowback, because they did
it at a very inappropriate time.

611
00:29:41,180 --> 00:29:44,770
Waiting might have
been a better idea,

612
00:29:44,770 --> 00:29:48,910
but you still got to
understand people are

613
00:29:48,910 --> 00:29:50,390
going to look at everything.

614
00:29:50,390 --> 00:29:52,910
Everything you do,
everything you don't do.

615
00:29:52,910 --> 00:29:56,650
And people are starting to look
at now that things have started

616
00:29:56,650 --> 00:30:04,240
to get a little bit better
and time has passed,

617
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,340
people are going to start
looking at accountability.

618
00:30:07,340 --> 00:30:11,480
So everyone here needs to make
sure that they understand that.

619
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,460
And this is the Court
of public opinion,

620
00:30:14,460 --> 00:30:17,240
whether you all like
it or not, and you all

621
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,640
are going to be
on blast, you all

622
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,490
are going to be on every
single social media account,

623
00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:26,390
probably in the country,
if not the world.

624
00:30:26,390 --> 00:30:31,010
So remember what you do
here and do the right thing.

625
00:30:31,010 --> 00:30:36,710
And the people of Kerrville
need to know every single detail

626
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:38,780
when it's happening.

627
00:30:38,780 --> 00:30:40,670
Thank you.

628
00:30:40,670 --> 00:30:42,390
Next George.

629
00:30:42,390 --> 00:30:52,290
Baroody Mr. Baroody hello.

630
00:30:52,290 --> 00:30:54,600
George Baroody, 1616 Glen road.

631
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,260
Hello so let me clarify
a couple of things.

632
00:30:58,260 --> 00:31:00,630
And one, I'm going to ask
Mr. Reeves to clarify me.

633
00:31:00,630 --> 00:31:03,770
Not in my time, but afterwards.

634
00:31:03,770 --> 00:31:07,600
One is this notion that you're
not taking any action tonight.

635
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,350
We all understand.

636
00:31:08,350 --> 00:31:10,050
Technically speaking,
no tax rates

637
00:31:10,050 --> 00:31:12,100
are being set and all that.

638
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:15,810
However, the only reason to take
the action that you're taking

639
00:31:15,810 --> 00:31:19,240
is to set the stage for
the ability to do so.

640
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,250
I would argue that you
don't need to do that,

641
00:31:21,250 --> 00:31:22,950
and we'll get to that.

642
00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:28,030
The other is the
potential increase.

643
00:31:28,030 --> 00:31:29,680
You actually can get
this information.

644
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,180
It's really simple
to figure it out.

645
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:34,570
The increase the cap of
increase is not about the rate.

646
00:31:34,570 --> 00:31:37,860
It's about the revenue that
you're able to collect over

647
00:31:37,860 --> 00:31:39,250
what you collected last year.

648
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:42,160
And this is where Mr. Reeves
can correct me if I'm wrong.

649
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,810
But what you're
choosing to do is

650
00:31:45,810 --> 00:31:48,450
look at the possibility
of collecting 8% more

651
00:31:48,450 --> 00:31:50,340
than you collected last year.

652
00:31:50,340 --> 00:31:53,890
That comes to about
$600,000 based on last year.

653
00:31:53,890 --> 00:31:56,980
So you can loosely
get that number.

654
00:31:56,980 --> 00:32:01,410
In my view, $600,000
is not worth the bad

655
00:32:01,410 --> 00:32:08,380
optics of raising the tax cap on
a community already in distress.

656
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:11,200
Especially since the fund
balance, which you all

657
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,590
are fully aware, is already well
in excess of the policy standard

658
00:32:14,590 --> 00:32:19,220
and is designed to be a
cash flow emergency fund.

659
00:32:19,220 --> 00:32:21,790
It's already
approximately $2.5 million

660
00:32:21,790 --> 00:32:24,350
above what it needs
to be by policy.

661
00:32:24,350 --> 00:32:26,570
The better alternative,
in my estimation,

662
00:32:26,570 --> 00:32:29,900
would be if you're going to
get $600,000 out of somewhere,

663
00:32:29,900 --> 00:32:32,450
the first place would be
out of the fund balance.

664
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:36,400
And you don't have to
change any taxes to do that.

665
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,400
Further, the impact of a
tax increase on a community

666
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,040
with such a large
frozen tax population

667
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,080
means any increase
in tax revenue

668
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,370
hits the working
families doubly hard.

669
00:32:46,370 --> 00:32:49,820
As an example, council of
five people, three of you,

670
00:32:49,820 --> 00:32:52,700
I believe are in
the frozen tax rate.

671
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:57,190
That means the dollar that's
raised instead of being split

672
00:32:57,190 --> 00:32:59,090
five ways is split two ways.

673
00:32:59,090 --> 00:33:01,450
That's just a microcosm
of what's going to happen

674
00:33:01,450 --> 00:33:03,360
in the community again.

675
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,750
600,000 not worth the
effort of the bad optics.

676
00:33:06,750 --> 00:33:10,320
Also, this situation highlights
the reason it is never,

677
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,230
in my estimation, under
any circumstances,

678
00:33:13,230 --> 00:33:18,590
advisable to rebate or exempt
property taxes as an incentive

679
00:33:18,590 --> 00:33:19,560
or otherwise.

680
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,540
As has been stated
here many times,

681
00:33:21,540 --> 00:33:24,480
property tax is not
profit to the government,

682
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,460
it is fee paid for services.

683
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:29,810
So under collecting is
nothing more than underfunding

684
00:33:29,810 --> 00:33:31,970
the budget you create.

685
00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:35,480
I suspect someone in the
city actually finally snapped

686
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,750
to understand that as the
whiskey springs development

687
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:41,990
agreement with its
million of tax rebates

688
00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:45,140
is conspicuously not
on the agenda tonight.

689
00:33:45,140 --> 00:33:49,520
Obviously, the optics of raising
the cap in order to raise taxes

690
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,380
on the community is while at
the same time diverting millions

691
00:33:54,380 --> 00:33:58,130
of dollars of future property
tax to a developer over 40

692
00:33:58,130 --> 00:33:59,940
years does not look good.

693
00:33:59,940 --> 00:34:05,600
And will not sit well with this
community, I wouldn't think.

694
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,659
Again, the main
thing is to focus

695
00:34:08,659 --> 00:34:11,389
the attention on not
the increase in the rate

696
00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:12,949
because that gets confusing.

697
00:34:12,949 --> 00:34:14,989
Just focus it on the
amount of revenue

698
00:34:14,989 --> 00:34:20,810
you're going to collect by doing
this arguably unnecessary act.

699
00:34:20,810 --> 00:34:22,440
So please just consider that.

700
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:22,980
Thank you.

701
00:34:22,980 --> 00:34:23,699
Thank you.

702
00:34:23,699 --> 00:34:27,110


703
00:34:27,110 --> 00:34:33,230
Nathaniel Hall Mr. Hall.

704
00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:34,020
Howdy, y'all.

705
00:34:34,020 --> 00:34:35,699
I want to thank
you all, first off,

706
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:39,179
for your leadership in this
very unprecedented disaster.

707
00:34:39,179 --> 00:34:42,409
And it's Nathaniel
Hall, 175 pine lane.

708
00:34:42,409 --> 00:34:46,530
And really, where I
like you specified,

709
00:34:46,530 --> 00:34:48,630
we're not specifying
the exact rate increase,

710
00:34:48,630 --> 00:34:51,179
but I want to encourage you all,
as the gentleman before me said,

711
00:34:51,179 --> 00:34:53,340
to not even take this
action to consider it,

712
00:34:53,340 --> 00:34:55,710
because as a young person,
the way this will affect me,

713
00:34:55,710 --> 00:34:58,170
even though I don't own
a home, is rents go up.

714
00:34:58,170 --> 00:35:00,540
It makes it that much harder
for me to own a home someday

715
00:35:00,540 --> 00:35:02,790
and raise a family, which I
have every intention of trying

716
00:35:02,790 --> 00:35:03,940
to do here in Kerrville.

717
00:35:03,940 --> 00:35:06,850
I know we've been decimated and
you all are in a tight position,

718
00:35:06,850 --> 00:35:08,490
but I just really,
really encourage you all

719
00:35:08,490 --> 00:35:11,770
to try and find another way
outside of a tax increase,

720
00:35:11,770 --> 00:35:13,240
any budgetary adjustments.

721
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:15,280
Or like the gentleman
said before me,

722
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,690
lots of great suggestions.

723
00:35:16,690 --> 00:35:18,870
So I would just really
encourage you all to please

724
00:35:18,870 --> 00:35:20,227
not do this tax increase.

725
00:35:20,227 --> 00:35:22,060
It will really hurt the young
people in this community.

726
00:35:22,060 --> 00:35:22,610
Thank you.

727
00:35:22,610 --> 00:35:27,150


728
00:35:27,150 --> 00:35:28,540
What about the
insurance question.

729
00:35:28,540 --> 00:35:29,640
Anybody else.

730
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,880
That's the end of
the citizen speakers.

731
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,410
I vaguely remember
being a young person.

732
00:35:35,410 --> 00:35:38,010
It was some time ago.

733
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:45,270
Look, even if we
authorize the calculation,

734
00:35:45,270 --> 00:35:49,740
we're not required to do the
full 8% We're just finding

735
00:35:49,740 --> 00:35:51,100
out what the revenue is.

736
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:54,850
And if it turns out
to be not sufficient,

737
00:35:54,850 --> 00:35:57,580
I'm sure we're
going to see that.

738
00:35:57,580 --> 00:36:03,190
The thing about this is George
broody has been on city council

739
00:36:03,190 --> 00:36:03,740
before.

740
00:36:03,740 --> 00:36:05,390
I'm looking around Glen Andrews.

741
00:36:05,390 --> 00:36:06,920
Been on city council before.

742
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,110
I'm trying to see who else here
has been on city council before.

743
00:36:11,110 --> 00:36:13,790
The truth is, none of us
have ever been here before.

744
00:36:13,790 --> 00:36:16,690
We've never had a
natural disaster

745
00:36:16,690 --> 00:36:20,890
of this magnitude to deal with.

746
00:36:20,890 --> 00:36:25,280
What we're asking for tonight,
if the council approves it,

747
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,690
is information.

748
00:36:26,690 --> 00:36:30,100
That's all we're looking for.

749
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:34,700
And we'll be very transparent
about all those discussions.

750
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:37,040
And if you can't attend the
meetings, they'll be on YouTube.

751
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,290
You can watch them
at your leisure.

752
00:36:39,290 --> 00:36:40,443
But the truth is.

753
00:36:40,443 --> 00:36:43,360


754
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,480
We're driving down a road that
doesn't have any signs on it

755
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,560
doesn't have any lane markings.

756
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,820
It doesn't have any shoulders.

757
00:36:49,820 --> 00:36:52,180
We've never been here before.

758
00:36:52,180 --> 00:36:55,190
And it in my opinion,
and I may be the only one

759
00:36:55,190 --> 00:36:56,310
that feels this way.

760
00:36:56,310 --> 00:37:00,500
Having information
as we try to process

761
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:06,050
the cost of this community
is preferable to not

762
00:37:06,050 --> 00:37:08,630
having information.

763
00:37:08,630 --> 00:37:10,880
That's my opinion.

764
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,650
We will have a budget
workshop next week.

765
00:37:13,650 --> 00:37:16,670
I believe that's a Tuesday.

766
00:37:16,670 --> 00:37:21,660
We should have had it
earlier, but flood intervened.

767
00:37:21,660 --> 00:37:25,730


768
00:37:25,730 --> 00:37:30,440
I guarantee to every person in
this room we will do our best.

769
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,710
None of us up here want to.

770
00:37:33,710 --> 00:37:35,790
We don't have to raise taxes.

771
00:37:35,790 --> 00:37:39,470
I mean, it sounds
like we do, but now we

772
00:37:39,470 --> 00:37:41,840
want to provide
services to the citizens

773
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,530
of Kerrville in an efficient
and transparent manner.

774
00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:49,220
That's what we want
to do, and that's

775
00:37:49,220 --> 00:37:51,860
what we're going to work to
do at our budget workshop

776
00:37:51,860 --> 00:37:53,460
next week.

777
00:37:53,460 --> 00:37:55,480
We have a resolution before us.

778
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,650
And if there's anybody wants to
make a comment or make a motion,

779
00:37:59,650 --> 00:38:03,480
I'd be happy to entertain it.

780
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:09,390
Comments is there a motion then.

781
00:38:09,390 --> 00:38:13,690
I move that we approve
resolution number 21 2025,

782
00:38:13,690 --> 00:38:16,020
authorizing the Kerr County
tax assessor and collector

783
00:38:16,020 --> 00:38:17,610
to calculate the
voter approval rate

784
00:38:17,610 --> 00:38:21,540
at the 8% Is there a second.

785
00:38:21,540 --> 00:38:22,770
I'll second.

786
00:38:22,770 --> 00:38:24,100
We have a motion and a second.

787
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:25,180
Any discussion.

788
00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:29,850


789
00:38:29,850 --> 00:38:30,550
All in favor.

790
00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:31,590
So vote.

791
00:38:31,590 --> 00:38:33,780
That passes unanimously.

792
00:38:33,780 --> 00:38:34,990
Keep an eye on us.

793
00:38:34,990 --> 00:38:37,320
We have a budget
process next week.

794
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,650
What time is that meeting.

795
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:39,940
By the way, I don't know.

796
00:38:39,940 --> 00:38:41,910
When is that meeting.

797
00:38:41,910 --> 00:38:42,730
Let me look.

798
00:38:42,730 --> 00:38:43,300
Let me look.

799
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:46,020
I think it's three
o'clock three to five.

800
00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:47,380
3:00 3:00.

801
00:38:47,380 --> 00:38:47,890
OK, good.

802
00:38:47,890 --> 00:38:48,400
And you can.

803
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:53,530
And you can see it online,
too, if you can't be here.

804
00:38:53,530 --> 00:38:54,560
Again, this is.

805
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,180
This is on uncharted
territory for us.

806
00:38:58,180 --> 00:38:59,300
Item 4.

807
00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:04,760
See reconciliation of
executed contract change.

808
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,200
Order for the callow
theater roof Mr. Burrow.

809
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:13,540


810
00:39:13,540 --> 00:39:14,690
Good evening, Mayor and council.

811
00:39:14,690 --> 00:39:19,570
I'm going to wait a little
bit as people transition out.

812
00:39:19,570 --> 00:39:23,650
Billy, I'd like to
motion while you talk.

813
00:39:23,650 --> 00:39:25,520
If you want to hear me, I
can yell a little bit louder.

814
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:26,020
I can hear you.

815
00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:27,940
Go right ahead.

816
00:39:27,940 --> 00:39:31,030
So what we have before you is
the callow theater project,

817
00:39:31,030 --> 00:39:33,920
and we're as a department,
we're trying to move forward.

818
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,080
There's a lot of other
stuff going on in the city.

819
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:41,440
Our contractors are still
working to build better build

820
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,210
the community that we've already
been progressing forward with.

821
00:39:44,210 --> 00:39:46,190
This is not part of
the rebuild project.

822
00:39:46,190 --> 00:39:48,700
This is just part of our
progressive movement.

823
00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:53,660
So in 2023, EIC and council
agreed to the sales tax

824
00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:55,500
sales revenue bonds.

825
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:56,730
This was part of the project.

826
00:39:56,730 --> 00:40:01,850
The callow theater HVAC and
roof renovation project was

827
00:40:01,850 --> 00:40:03,270
commenced earlier this year.

828
00:40:03,270 --> 00:40:07,940
When we took this to council,
we had an action that was taken

829
00:40:07,940 --> 00:40:10,560
for the base bid plus
a deductive alternate,

830
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,590
approximately 62,000.

831
00:40:12,590 --> 00:40:15,470
There was project
oversight and we actually

832
00:40:15,470 --> 00:40:17,700
constructed the
project with the roof,

833
00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:20,730
which was the deductive
alternate in the base bid.

834
00:40:20,730 --> 00:40:23,270
So what we're asking is kind
of a two part here before you

835
00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:23,880
tonight.

836
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,030
One of them doesn't need
action because we just

837
00:40:26,030 --> 00:40:28,410
need authorization from
you to move forward.

838
00:40:28,410 --> 00:40:30,900
And that's the reconciliation
of that amount.

839
00:40:30,900 --> 00:40:32,520
The contractor did
the base bid amount.

840
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,250
We have the money for that.

841
00:40:34,250 --> 00:40:37,170
The second part of
this is a change order.

842
00:40:37,170 --> 00:40:39,360
So once we started
peeling back the layers,

843
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,240
we noticed that there was a lot
of damage, which we anticipated.

844
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:44,430
That's why we had a little
bit more in the budget.

845
00:40:44,430 --> 00:40:47,150
We had some contingency
within our project budget

846
00:40:47,150 --> 00:40:50,580
to account for structural
components, water damage,

847
00:40:50,580 --> 00:40:53,430
and is actually a little bit
less than what we anticipated.

848
00:40:53,430 --> 00:40:56,480
So with that, we also got
some pricing from Guido

849
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,910
as our general contractor
for Playhouse 2000,

850
00:40:59,910 --> 00:41:04,130
some upgraded maintenance items
that they don't have a whole lot

851
00:41:04,130 --> 00:41:06,440
of fund balance
within their system

852
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,940
to account for the full
needs of what they had.

853
00:41:08,940 --> 00:41:10,740
We did have some project budget.

854
00:41:10,740 --> 00:41:12,410
So before you as a
change order, that's

855
00:41:12,410 --> 00:41:14,720
a culmination of
the damages that we

856
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:19,460
incurred through the 2017
hailstorm, the 21 snow storm.

857
00:41:19,460 --> 00:41:23,130
But in addition to some just
routine maintenance items,

858
00:41:23,130 --> 00:41:26,570
upgrading the fire retardant
on the drapes, for example.

859
00:41:26,570 --> 00:41:29,280
Another component is the
fire suppression system,

860
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,550
where as soon as we got above
ground in the auditorium,

861
00:41:32,550 --> 00:41:36,480
we found some sprinklers
that were covered up.

862
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,050
And so we've got to
get those back open.

863
00:41:39,050 --> 00:41:43,080
This was a couple of weeks that
have gone by since we did this.

864
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,530
So the contractor contractor
is still progressing forward.

865
00:41:46,530 --> 00:41:49,800
We are still looking at
a mid-august completion

866
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,900
for Playhouse 2000
to come in and do

867
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:55,020
a few more things that
they had on their schedule.

868
00:41:55,020 --> 00:41:58,950
Still getting a final completion
and back open to the public

869
00:41:58,950 --> 00:42:02,880
in September or early October
for them to get all their fall

870
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,390
and winter activities where we
get a little bit more interest.

871
00:42:07,390 --> 00:42:11,640
So again, the action before you
is really just the authorization

872
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:12,400
of the change order.

873
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,490
But we're asking you
to reconcile just

874
00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:16,560
so we can make a
contract execution

875
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,390
or a change order execution.

876
00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:21,180
Any questions for Mr. Burrow.

877
00:42:21,180 --> 00:42:26,650
So the narrative in here has a
different price of 2,000,999.

878
00:42:26,650 --> 00:42:31,630
But on your breakout itemized
sheet, it's three million 119.

879
00:42:31,630 --> 00:42:32,800
So I just want to make sure.

880
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,650
So that's the revised
with the authorization.

881
00:42:35,650 --> 00:42:37,380
If you look at the
top, the original

882
00:42:37,380 --> 00:42:40,060
contract amount is a 2,000,999.

883
00:42:40,060 --> 00:42:43,360
So again, that is the
executed contract amount.

884
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,880
So the first part of this was
reconciliation to get to that

885
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,030
so we can authorize a change
order because the council

886
00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:53,710
action was that 62 less
so in order to bring

887
00:42:53,710 --> 00:42:54,860
a change order before you.

888
00:42:54,860 --> 00:42:55,760
I can't bring one.

889
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,510
That's the contract
is 299, right.

890
00:42:58,510 --> 00:43:00,290
Has nothing to do with that.

891
00:43:00,290 --> 00:43:06,430
But yes, the executed change
order would take this .11 OK.

892
00:43:06,430 --> 00:43:09,700
So other questions or comments.

893
00:43:09,700 --> 00:43:11,900
You're still well under
budget here aren't you.

894
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:12,440
Yes, ma'am.

895
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,070
And this is also
with the revisions

896
00:43:15,070 --> 00:43:17,500
that we made to the funding
agreement for the pool.

897
00:43:17,500 --> 00:43:19,160
So we're still under everything.

898
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,800
OK I love it when
you say under budget.

899
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,350
I don't know why.

900
00:43:23,350 --> 00:43:24,110
Any other questions.

901
00:43:24,110 --> 00:43:27,370
Somebody else behind me does to.

902
00:43:27,370 --> 00:43:28,810
The questions.

903
00:43:28,810 --> 00:43:31,600
Mayor, I will move
for the approval

904
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,840
of the executed contract
amount and the authorization

905
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,710
of the city manager to execute.

906
00:43:36,710 --> 00:43:38,720
Change order number one.

907
00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:40,760
Second that motion has
been made and seconded.

908
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,220
Any discussion.

909
00:43:42,220 --> 00:43:42,860
All in favor.

910
00:43:42,860 --> 00:43:43,850
So vote.

911
00:43:43,850 --> 00:43:44,970
Passes unanimously.

912
00:43:44,970 --> 00:43:46,550
Thank you.

913
00:43:46,550 --> 00:43:51,800
Item 5 is this one from or.

914
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:59,660
Sure so we have one
vacancy on the Kerrville

915
00:43:59,660 --> 00:44:03,130
recovery community coalition,
and we have one applicant.

916
00:44:03,130 --> 00:44:03,630
All right.

917
00:44:03,630 --> 00:44:05,180
Who are the.

918
00:44:05,180 --> 00:44:06,510
I'm sorry, I have that.

919
00:44:06,510 --> 00:44:08,510
Please go ahead.

920
00:44:08,510 --> 00:44:13,760
Lamar Davis has made an
application is good experience

921
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,330
in the recovery community.

922
00:44:15,330 --> 00:44:22,400
And I would move to nominate
Lamar Davis to be on the board.

923
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:23,330
Recovery community.

924
00:44:23,330 --> 00:44:24,360
Motion and a second.

925
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,450
Any discussion.

926
00:44:26,450 --> 00:44:27,030
All in favor.

927
00:44:27,030 --> 00:44:28,430
So vote.

928
00:44:28,430 --> 00:44:29,610
And it's unanimous.

929
00:44:29,610 --> 00:44:31,520
Thank you to Mr. Davis.

930
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,680
Next item is an
executive session item

931
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,780
I'm going to need
a motion for us

932
00:44:35,780 --> 00:44:38,570

executive session.

933

We will recess up to executive
session and come back down

942
00:44:58,260 --> 00:44:59,180
and close out the meeting.

00:44:59,180 --> 00:45:02,160


944
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,090
So that guy told me.

Executive session at 743.

947
01:12:04,210 --> 01:12:05,470
Are there any item.

948
01:12:05,470 --> 01:12:07,600
We have nothing to report
from executive session.

949
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:11,100
Are there any items
for future agendas.

950
01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:14,880
Yes Well, no, because
we're going to have

951
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:16,590
full agendas, so that's great.

952
01:12:16,590 --> 01:12:21,360
Yep hearing none, I
adjourn the meeting at 743.

953
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:21,940
Woo hoo.

954
01:12:21,940 --> 01:12:22,600
Woo hoo.

955
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,200
All right.

956
01:12:24,200 --> 01:13:50,000
