[0:05] Good evening, everyone. The special meeting of the Lincoln City Council is called to order on Monday, August 31, 2026 at 7 p.m. The first item on agenda tonight is public testimony. At this time, citizens who have pre-registered before the call, the order will be allowed to speak on consent or action items on the agenda with the exception of public hearing.

[0:35] hearing for let the time not to exceed three minutes. Anyone designed to speak on the

[0:41] item scheduled for the public hearing is requested to hold their comments until the public

[0:48] hearing on that item.

[0:50] Secretary, do we have it?

[0:52] Yes, sir, we have Mark O'Mahia, 1515 Rebecca Lane, Lancaster.

[1:06] How's everybody doing? Mark O'Mahia, 1515 Rebecca Lane, Lancaster, Texas.

[1:10] Just tonight, I do this every year, I donate my money back.

[1:14] My travel budget back to the city, I think it makes the 16th year.

[1:20] So I think we're reaching almost $100,000 of donated back to the city between my cell phone budget,

[1:24] travel budget, and provide my own computer.

[1:27] And this year I know that the city council is going up to $0,500 for a travel budget.

[1:31] So this year I'll be donating $0,500 on my personal money.

[1:34] I usually give out the city money, but they didn't allow that anymore.

[1:37] I just don't need to send you money back to it.

[1:39] A certain department that the council no longer use that.

[1:43] A lot of me do that.

[1:44] So what I do now is I donate my personal funds.

[1:47] That's why you just say bank of Mark and E.

[1:48] I mean bank of the city of Langston.

[1:50] I say it's a bank of Mark and E.

[1:51] I just use my personal funds that I'm given to the city.

[1:55] So I'm honored to give this to your domain.

[1:57] I'm giving it to change the name of the equipment service

[1:59] and the facilities.

[2:00] It's usually fleet maintenance.

[2:01] But now, so if you want to tell them what we're buying

[2:03] with the $100 I appreciate.

[2:04] So first of all, I would say thank you.

[2:06] of the American Council, and with the purchase of the $0.5 million, we'll be upgrading the

[2:12] fleet facilities, the time machine and balance, so they will go up to a 20-inch tower,

[2:16] which will be utilized on the part of the board and on the larger vehicles, and also replace

[2:21] the screen on one of the portable wheels that they'll lift.

[2:24] The liquid crystal display has overheated the sleigh down, so these funds will be in slow.

[2:31] Thank you.

[2:32] It's a pleasure to know that these funds are going to a special place, so this is just a

[2:36] I want to show back at District 3, $7500 out of our budget is not very much money, but it's to show my dedication to the city and what District 3 is doing for the community, so I want to applaud District 3 for allowing me to continue to be their council member, and this is my dedication of appreciation and just giving back to the community that I like to call home, so thank you very much.

[2:53] Thank you.

[6:43] Beginning October 1, 2026 in any September 30, 2027, providing them the expenditures for said fiscal year shall be in accordance with said budget.

[6:51] City manager. Mayor, members of council, the item before you this evening is for the purpose of conducting a public hearing to consider the fiscal year 2627 operating budget for beginning October 1st, 2026, including September 30, 2027 state truth and taxation as well as the city charter required city council to conduct a public hearing on the proposed budget the proposed tax rate required for revenue for maintenance and operations as well as interest and sinking firm requirements is 25909256

[7:21] since for every $100 of assessed valuation.

[7:24] This proposed budget does also include the Lancaster Economic Development Corporation as

[7:28] well as the Recreational Development Corporation.

[7:31] City Council conducted, you first received this proposed budget on Monday, August 3rd.

[7:36] You have conducted two prior public hearings, one August 10 and one August 17th, as well as

[7:41] holding a public town hall meeting that was held on Thursday, August 6th.

[7:45] These public hearings were noticed in our newspaper of records, the Rambler, in accordance

[7:50] with Texas Open Meetings Act as well as the requirements.

[7:54] The operations and maintenance portion of our tax rate is being reduced to 0.412293 cents of which 0.025 cents is allocated for our street maintenance fund and 0.0025 cents is allocated for our new equipment fund.

[8:09] With the debt portion of our tax rate, our interest in seeking fund requirements being 0.178632 cents for every $100 of assessed valuation.

[8:16] The total budget for all funds, again including the economic development corporation as well as the recreational development corporation, is $114,333,957.

[8:29] This public hearing has been noticed in accordance with the requirements under the state and pursuant to the truth and taxation requirements.

[8:37] The taxpayer impact statement has been printed in our notices and is as follows.

[8:41] from fiscal year 2526, the median homestead as required by this statement from the state is the median which is $2503,000 in $10 with our current tax rate of .5, 9, 9, 9, 4, 9, 0 cents for every $100 of assessed valuation, the estimated property tax bill based on the median home payable to the city would be $1,015,16 and 77 cents.

[9:06] The no-new revenue rate, which would mean the city would get the exact same amount of revenue from the prior year based on the median

[9:12] valued homestead for 2627 is to our 66,677 and that would be

[9:18] 1,468 with the proposed tax rate of 0.590925 cents for every hundred dollars of assist valuation on the median home price of

[9:29] 26667 the tax bill payable to the city of Lancaster would be 1,575 dollars and 86 cents

[9:36] This proposed budget is a plan for revenues and expenditures for the operations of the city.

[9:41] Staff is recommending City Council conduct the public hearing as required by law and

[9:46] consider the ordinance as it has been presented for the fiscal year 2627 budget.

[9:50] And we have any answer any questions you may have at this time.

[9:53] All right, Council.

[9:54] Do you have any questions that come in for the city commenters?

[9:58] We have, all right.

[10:00] So this is the Lancaster I'm proud to announce that this is a decent budget, it's not a perfect budget, but it's a decent.

[10:07] But the most important thing is if you look around Ellis County, a lot of other cities in Dallas all have to play in a lot of cities, we're going up on the tax rate, and we're going down on the tax rate.

[10:19] So it shows you kind of the trend and we've been going down for a while.

[10:22] This is 6, 7th, maybe 8th time that we're going down in a consistent manner.

[10:27] And that's a good thing, but it kind of shows the importance of what this council has done for the last 16 years that we're able to go down while everybody else is going up on the tax rate.

[10:37] For 16 years I heard citizens talk about these ugly warehouses and the data centers and how they don't want them.

[10:44] Back in 2010 when I started knocking on doors in my district, my goal as a 28 year old kid, I'm going to call myself because that's what I was,

[10:51] as a kid, add a goal to put the tax burden on the businesses of Lancaster, not the house residents, the homeowners.

[10:59] And I'm proud to say that in 2026, that goal was very much being achieved.

[11:04] We were almost pushing 60% of the tax base, is it on commercial?

[11:09] And that's why everybody's tax rates are able to go down because we have a good base.

[11:14] We were creating jobs, we were doing all these things, but most importantly our property taxes is bringing in quite a bit of money.

[11:21] I always talk about the orange, you know, as if when your orange is dry, you got to squeeze it harder to get some juice out of it.

[11:26] When your orange is juicy, you squeeze it a little bit and you get more juice.

[11:31] We're starting to get a little, or orange is getting a little juicy.

[11:33] And if you look around at Duncanville, DeSoto, even the colony of all these cities, we're catching them.

[11:38] And to think that we're catching them, asset-wise, with the city's worth, and we're only 50% developed, it's kind of exciting, you know.

[11:46] I always say Lancaster, Lancaster didn't fail, Lancaster, the Council for the last 40 years has failed Lancaster.

[11:53] We should be Frisco. If we've got it right, Lancaster, we have farming time.

[11:57] We have so much potential, we have so many good things, we have a great location, we have great community, we have great people in a beautiful city.

[12:05] The thing is, if we keep pushing and keep doing this, no tell them we're hollow, we can get this tax rate.

[12:09] So it's exciting to see that we're able to do more charge of citizens less on the tax rate.

[12:15] So this is exciting time.

[12:17] I know for 16 years, I don't like the ugly warehouses,

[12:20] but the warehouses are paying the bills, that was our goal.

[12:23] So sometimes it takes a while to get the proof, but here we are,

[12:26] the proof is here.

[12:27] So we're going down on tax rates while the other cities are going up.

[12:30] They don't have the base that we have, and we're only 50% there.

[12:32] So let's keep it up, let's keep working hard.

[12:35] I'm proud of Langston, thank you.

[12:36] All right, anyone else comments a question?

[12:40] Would you see the management?

[12:41] Thank you.

[12:43] Senior Nunn, at this time we will open the public hearing portion of the meeting.

[12:49] Do we have anyone to speak on that?

[12:51] No, sir.

[12:52] All right.

[12:53] Is anyone in the audience care to speak on this item?

[12:59] Senior Nunn, I will close the public hearing.

[13:02] Council, what's your pleasure?

[13:05] I make a motion to approve item 9.

[13:08] Second.

[13:09] All right.

[13:09] There's been a motion.

[13:10] in the second to prove item 9 all in favor say aye aye those

[13:19] are mostly no those

[13:21] are same say abstain all right he carries that moves us to item number 10

[13:26] siege secretary conduct the public hearing and consider ordinance regarding the

[13:30] proposed revenue increase from Libby and add the lorum taxes from physical year

[13:34] 2026, 2027 at 0.590925 per $100 dress assess valuation of all taxable properties within

[13:45] the corporate limits to provide revenues for current maintenance and operation expenses

[13:50] and interest and sinking funds requirements providing due and delinquent dates, penalties

[13:55] and interest providing a homestead exception and disability exception.

[13:59] All right, City Manager.

[14:00] Mayor, members of Council, state truth and taxation law, the local government

[14:04] code as well as the city charter required that an ordinance be levied regarding the avalorum

[14:08] taxes and that it be read and a public hearing held at a regular or special meeting of the

[14:13] Lancaster City Council. The budget that was just approved was prepared utilizing a proposed

[14:19] tax rate of 0.590925 cents for every $100 of assessed valuation. In this regard the state

[14:27] requires us to provide you the information based on a $100,000 home and based on the $100,000

[14:33] home the Lancaster resident would actually have a $8.56 decrease in their overall property tax bill

[14:40] and that is pursuant to the passage of Senate bill two in the 86 Texas legislative session.

[14:47] This council is required to conduct a public hearing. This is the third and final of three per public

[14:53] hearings. City Council conducted a public hearing on August 17th as well as August 24th regarding the

[14:59] proposed tax rights.

[15:00] Notice for this public meeting was posted in the city's newspaper, Record, the Rambler newspaper, and it also appeared on the city's website. Staff is recommending city council conduct the public hearing and consider the ordinance and recommending it be approved as it has been presented. When you adopt the tax rate, this does also include for the citizens of our community. Those that are in accordance with this, providing a home set exemption of $30,000 for individuals who have reached the age of 65.

[15:30] 5 or older as well as a $30,000 exemption for disabled head of household individuals for as a part of the tax bill.

[15:39] We'd be happy to answer any questions that you may have at this time.

[15:42] Well, right, do you have any questions or comments for the city manager?

[15:48] See you manager, we really want to appreciate your expertise in managing the city and

[15:57] And also your staff, your finance department, and all those that worked on this budget for

[16:06] I mean, you all appear past midnight making sure that we will have a balanced budget.

[16:16] So we want to say thank you publicly for you and your staff.

[16:21] If nothing else has said, at this time, we're going to open up the public hearing portion

[16:29] of this meeting.

[16:31] We don't have any written statement, though, but everybody in the audience can just be going

[16:37] this.

[16:39] Seeing none, I will close the public hearing.

[16:42] Council, wish you a pleasure.

[16:44] I make a motion to approve item 10.

[16:47] Second.

[16:48] all right there's been a motion in a second to approve item number 10 all in

[16:55] favor say aye aye those opposed say no those have seen shall stay all right it

[17:03] carries that moves us to action item number 11 city secretary discuss and

[17:09] consider a resolution an interlocal cooperative agreement with star transit for

[17:13] transit transportation services and amount not to exceed $144,661.0 cents for basic outline

[17:22] transportation services, $25,000 and 0 cents for Uber X share and $12,100.0 cents for

[17:31] a share regional bus unit, a total of $181,761.0 cents for physical year 2026, 2027.

[17:41] City manager mayor members of council and fiscal year 2526 you approved an agreement with star transit for the purpose of providing public transportation in our community and

[17:52] as a result of that you've seen how

[17:55] rapidly

[17:57] Our services and utilization of those services has grown

[18:01] During this work session city council received during this budget session city council received a

[18:09] a presentation from Star Transit at a work session related to the services that we're providing.

[18:14] As a result, there was a recommendation because we had a number of seniors that were utilizing

[18:19] our services for access to their medical appointments and other appointments.

[18:23] And so we are proposing with this our basic services for 2627 would be $144,661 that is

[18:33] a slight increase of $3,130 and that is subsidized by federal dollars through a grant program

[18:41] and a regional grant program that starts transit receipts for services.

[18:45] In addition, we're recommending the additional add-on services that would increase our Uber

[18:50] X-rise as well as establishing a new regional bus system that would relate to our best Southwest

[18:57] region allowing residents in our city to utilize a system going through the other three cities.

[19:02] That would increase the cost to $181,760, or an overall increase over the prior year

[19:10] of $40,000 to earn $29, and as an increase in our monthly payments by $3,352.

[19:16] Staff is recommending City Council consider and approve this resolution amending this agreement

[19:23] with Star Transit as it has been presented.

[19:26] The dollar amount was included in the fiscal year budget with the increased services, and

[19:32] We'd be happy to answer any questions you may have at this time.

[19:35] All right, Councilor B. Havien, questions or comments?

[19:38] I do have a comment.

[19:41] I want to commend the city with this set resolution, as well as this agreement, because

[19:48] it initially we really didn't know how it was going to be accepted amongst our citizens

[19:56] And because we were only looking at it in one perspective, but what has happened is that it has gotten so popular that not just one segment of the city is taking advantage of it, but all segments is better feeding from this service.

[20:17] So I definitely want to commend the city for this.

[20:21] I'd like to make a comment also because of the fact that if we could not afford to be

[20:29] in the dark rail system because that was brought in in 83 and if you join the dark rail

[20:37] system you have to pay all those back fees to be able to be part of the membership.

[20:42] This is an alternative is still has a connectivity to dark and has expanded in just as Ms. Betty has said it more and more people are utilizing this and it is an alternative and it's a reasonable alternative for our citizens and for people to even our workforce to be able to get to work.

[21:08] so I'm glad our city is continuing forward with this right anyone else

[21:18] and I

[21:19] agree we're both Mayor Pro Tem and Carol that because we did not sign in on

[21:25] dark that this city lack public transportation for quite some time and so I'm so

[21:33] glad that we aboard with Charlotte Transit it enhances the quality of life for our

[21:39] citizens and so again city manager thank you and your staff for bringing this to a reality

[21:49] with that said council what is your pleasure I make a motion to approve action item 11

[21:58] all right there's been a motion in a second to approve acts of item number 11 all in favor say

[22:05] I do.

[22:06] All right.

[22:08] Those who oppose say no.

[22:11] Those who say I've stayed already carries.

[22:14] That moves us to act tonight on number 12.

[22:17] City Secretary.

[22:19] Discuss and consider a resolution amending their rate for certain fees and charges assessed and collected by the city for water and wastewater services providing and repelling clause and providing effective date.

[22:30] City manager.

[22:30] Mayor Memphis of Council, at the August 3rd work session, you received your annual update related to the five-year utility rate study from New

[22:37] Gen Strategies and Solutions LLC. And during that presentation, there was a recommendation for some modifications to our rate schedule.

[22:46] We are proposing to maintain our current water rate for the base connection at $25.65.

[22:53] Since the average Lancaster resident utilizes 5,000 gallons of water per month.

[22:59] We're proposing to maintain the conservation rate for

[23:04] customers using 1,000 gallons to 15,000 gallons at $3.59 for every 1,000 gallons.

[23:11] And based on that, increasing our tiered services going up at 15,000 and

[23:16] one to 30,000 gallons, as well as for our commercial customers utilizing more than 15,000 gallons.

[23:24] The 2026 base wastewater bill is proving proposed to have a slight increase from $19.56 per month to $20.74 per month.

[23:33] And the volumetric rate being increased from $11.65 to $12.35.

[23:39] And also making sure that we are being conscientious of making sure we provide additional information

[23:46] and related to our winter averaging so that residents understand that they pay the

[23:51] lower of the amounts when their winter averaging takes effect.

[23:56] Prior to October 1st, when these rates would take effect, staff is recommending that

[24:01] we post and make sure this information not only appears on our utility statements but that

[24:05] the city's homepage of the website as well as the utility billing page of the website be updated

[24:10] so that we make sure that the rate increase notification is provided.

[24:15] and increase rates is necessary to ensure that the city has adequate and financial resources to cover our cost of service as we receive increases as you're aware through that presentation from Dallas Water Utilities and the Trinity River Authority.

[24:29] While these rates do appear in the master fee schedule, it is required that we also have a separate resolution that adopts your water and your wastewater rates as well as your strong water rates, which was presented at our last meeting.

[24:42] staff is recommending approval of the resolution as it has been presented and we

[24:46] be happy to answer any questions. All right council do you have any questions or

[24:50] comments.

[24:53] All right seeing none where's your pleasure. I make a motion to prove

[24:58] item 12 and second. All right there's been a motion and a second to approve

[25:03] action item number 12. All in favor say aye aye. Those who opposed say no. Those

[25:13] of St. James have seen already carries that moves us to

[25:17] action item number 13 city secretary discuss and consider a

[25:22] resolution providing for the adoption of the master fee

[25:25] schedule for all fees and charges assessed and collected by

[25:28] the city of Lancaster city manager mayor council this is the

[25:54] All right. Do you have any questions for the City Secretary seeing none? What's your pleasure?

[26:03] I make a motion to approve action item 13.

[26:06] All right, there's been a motion in the second to prove axon item number 13 all in favor say aye

[26:16] Those opposed say no

[26:19] Those abstains abstain it carries and moves us to axon item number 14 city secretary

[26:26] Discussing consider a resolution ratifying the budget for the fiscal year

[26:31] 2026 2027 that results in an increase of revenues by 8.24% from property tax

[26:36] This is over the previous year.

[26:38] City manager.

[26:39] Mayor, members of council, the item before you is required based on the new state law that became effective September 1st, 2007.

[26:49] Under House Bill 3195, that was passed in the 80th legislative session.

[26:53] This bill requires that cities post both their preliminary and their approved budgets on their website.

[26:59] And also requires that the budget be ratified by a vote of the city council.

[27:04] After its adoption, it requires 60% of the body to approve for this ratification to take effect.

[27:12] And pursuant to truth and taxations, the taxpayer impact statement that was previously read on item 10

[27:18] is also noted here, related to our fiscal year 2526 tax rate based on the median home value of a homestead at $253,010.

[27:30] and the tax bill being $15,677 based on an approved tax rate of 0.599-490.

[27:37] And for 2627 with the median home value been 266,677, the no new revenue rate being 0.550-477.

[27:46] Meaning that we will get the exact same amount of revenue as the previous year being 1,468.

[27:52] With the reduction in our tax rate being proposed that 0.590-925 cents based on the median

[27:58] Invalued home at 266-6677, the estimated tax bill will be $1,575.86.

[28:05] Staff is recommending that City Council approve the resolution with the required motion by state law

[28:11] that the motion be to approve a budget that will result in an increase in revenue from property taxes
