[0:00] All tax rate is that that we are in right now, so it would say flat the overall tax rate would, and that's what is being proposed for the year. Are there any questions?

[0:22] No, I just want to this clarify to those things on the general fund where we have the resources you've had last year at 16 million 181 this year is 19 million 809. That's

[0:36] because of the gas cell in there, correct?

[0:40] The higher number, the resources.

[0:43] About the increase in it, it is also the appropriation.

[0:53] The appropriation for the thousand

[0:58] and also.

[1:04] Yeah, so that's just, that's where that extra money is going.

[1:07] And that's why the illegal exposures, you're

[1:09] going to be spending that because that's

[1:10] the extra that we have put in there.

[1:12] I just want to clarify that to people. So it's not like we're getting an extra $4 million out of nowhere

[1:16] Yeah, that is appropriate

[1:19] Yes, because we have to have a budget so we have

[1:24] they do are on it

[1:26] They're going to drop those numbers out so it will lower

[1:29] And

[1:31] then the other one I just wanted to kind of clarify just for citizens out there is the waste water and water fun

[1:38] How it went from 13,000 to the 16,000 and then you go back into our what we spent last year was 15,000

[1:46] and this is why we had to do that pass-through rate

[1:48] is because of how much we were bleeding into that budget.

[1:52] I just wanted to show why those numbers looked the way they are

[1:54] and why you had to factor that 16,000 this year

[1:57] into the proposed budget so that we're not bleeding that money.

[2:01] Yes, please.

[2:02] Okay, so I'm just going to clarify those to on that page.

[2:05] Any other question?

[2:09] Stick out the way the budget for each one, or you just want to.

[2:16] Okay, I think we looked at everything

[2:17] and a little bit more of this work show.

[2:19] I think it's a big look.

[2:20] I think we need to go and sit down if you have questions

[2:22] So we still have to offer actual tax rate today is just getting you guys to go forward with the the budget that you've put together in front of us

[2:29] But I think we probably will have questions

[2:32] This is not a proof of the budget that will happen in September or scams meeting September will be first

[2:40] Yes, so we appreciate it. Thank you very much. I know it's a lot of hard work. Thank you

[2:49] Next

[2:53] item, Senator Approval for Resolution 2026-33R authorizing City Manager to take a record

[3:00] vote in the tournament and agreed upon public meeting date on the tax right hearing

[3:05] and vote, which will be related to the tax assessor and collectors to compile and rock

[10:00] Instead of approval resolution I'm a number to consider approval resolution 2026-34 are

[10:07] Calling a special election to fill an unexpired term may

[10:13] 2029 for ward one and providing for provisions to hold the special election on uniform election date of

[10:21] November 3rd

[10:23] 2026 miss good one

[10:25] So, with Councilmember Ren Gal, I'm resigning that we have a, the state chart, the state

[10:35] charter constitution requires us, because we're four-year terms, requires us to hold an

[10:42] election and fill the position within 120 days of the resignation, so we still have a little

[10:50] bit of time to call the election for the November 3rd. And so this resolution is doing just that,

[10:59] calling the special election. It has inside of it provisions of who's going to, you know,

[11:05] where the voting polls are, who's going to be in charge of it, the city of Rockport contracts

[11:11] with the election administrator with Aransas County. So they will actually do handle your voting.

[11:18] I wanted to let you know that there are packets that have been ready, that have been made and are ready for anyone who is interested in becoming a council member.

[11:32] The last day of falling is the 20th of August and you have to have that application and the petition and by 6 p of that night.

[11:51] on this petition do you have a number of signatures that may be required for this election it should be 50 50 okay yes there's

[12:06] no cost there's no cost okay

[12:08] and it's primary primary so if you're looking for the big box it is for word one resident permanent resident award

[12:21] Those have you that were thinking about doing it and heard that you don't worry about it. You enjoyed it

[12:27] There I move to approve item 12 that's presented

[12:34] Second I have a motion on a second any further question

[12:38] We'll call for vote or two. Hi, or three. Hi, or four. Hi, Mayor. Hi, it is unanimous. I'm number 13

[12:47] I said approval of Resolution 2026-35R, appointing one member to the planning and zoning commission,

[12:57] filling vacancies, providing for terms of office and providing for an effective date.

[13:01] It's good one.

[13:02] So, at your last regular City Council meeting, you appointed all of the other members of the Planning and

[13:09] commission and we had one position still open. This is for Ward one seat and council member Anderson is actually there liaison for this board. So he has brought back a name of Barry Hill and

[13:36] Barry Hill for representing Ward one.

[13:40] Second have a motion out a second any further question if not we'll call for a vote or two

[13:49] Mayor it is unanimous and welcome did

[13:55] the city maim's are leave word with anybody to give her reports on

[13:59] I just hadn't heard from you

[14:19] Tell us what's going on your part of the town

[14:30] I just said I'm sorry. I don't have anything new with that today for

[14:41] ward two. I've got a couple of things. First of all, I just wanted to express thank you from quite a few residents in ward two.

[14:51] We had some debris clean up and some fire hydrants to be located. That information came into the...

[15:00] City, and I think within probably less than 24 hours, some of Ryan's team went out there and helped clean up around this fire hydrant, so it would be properly accessible in what have you. It was in a construction site. You just got a little debris over it. The residents just want to say thank you very much from a safety perspective. And those people live there with their children and that just I don't think we could have had a better response there. Also code enforcement. And there was other divisions that helped out with that.

[15:29] that, as well as the subdivision, the Hogan Homes people, people are chipped in, so quite

[15:37] a few people involved. We got everything cleared up in about 24 hours or so in safe.

[15:42] The only other thing I have out of ward two is everybody don't forget, we have the Wings

[15:48] event out of the airport, this Saturday, August 15th from 8 to 11, and that's always a fun

[15:55] little event out there just something happening nice to take the kids to in what

[15:59] have you or two or three another report there or just two things I believe it's

[16:11] almost finished it might be finished right you can correct me the seal

[16:14] coat in the country club I've only got positive reviews on that so thank you

[16:19] guys is it finished or is it almost finished I think we're yeah okay yeah

[16:27] So thank you for that. Also, there is my real talk this month. It's going to be this Thursday at 6.30 or meeting at the Fairfield meeting room. So if you want to come and talk and have any questions, it's open.

[16:41] You know, just have anything up to say or any questions and just have a talk with me. I will be there and that's about it on my end.

[16:49] I haven't driven around and looked at all murals that were painted, but the ones that I have seen went over to the courthouse area, it looks great.

[16:56] And I appreciate the folks that did all the work.

[16:58] It's an amazing thing that they can do to come down.

[17:01] If I drew it, nobody would know what it was.

[17:03] It doesn't really matter a lot.

[17:05] But we really appreciate it. It looks great.

[17:08] If we don't have anything else, I would entertain a motion to adjourn.

[17:13] No, we don't.

[17:16] We're

[17:19] adjourned in about twenty-two minutes.

[17:22] That was evening.

[17:23] Very well done.
