Next item on the agenda of Citizens' Comments.

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,200
This is opportunity for anyone in the public to once come forward and speak on anything

00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,320
that's not on the agenda. If you want to talk about something on the agenda, then please

00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:54,160
Council cannot comment on anything that we resent, but we allow citizens three minutes.

24

The next item on the agenda's special presentations. We have a

United Way of Denton County positively impacts the lives of over 55,000 residents in the

34
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,900

And whereas, United Way of Denton County leads the effort with a network of nonprofits,

you so much and appreciate all of you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

43
00:05:07,150 --> 00:05:08,310
Council

44
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,540
the next item when the agenda is a consent agenda and you'll see there's several different items

45
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:32,660
If you have any questions about those six seven seven different items

46
00:05:32,660 --> 00:05:34,980
We can pull them off and discuss them individually

47
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,360
Otherwise, there's no questions

48
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,080
We're going to turn emotion

49
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Mr. Mayor Holanda motion that we approve the consent agenda as presented

50
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,120
We have a motion by Councilwoman

51
00:05:53,540 --> 00:06:02,800
We have a second by Councilwoman Tisdale. Any other discussion? All those in favor, please raise your hand.

52
00:06:04,140 --> 00:06:05,700
Here is unanimously. Thank you.

53
00:06:11,460 --> 00:06:14,500
The next item of the agenda is item 10 public hearing.

54
00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:20,260
We actually have two public hearings and we will address them separately. The first one is conduct a public hearing

55
00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:36,780
We remember requests for a zoning change from agriculture to life industrial of approximately 83.95 acres of land located on County Road 200, approximately 1,853 feet west of I-35.

56
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:47,740
This is a piece of property that's right out on the county line.

57
00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:51,340
So it sits within the city of St. Louis jurisdiction.

58
00:06:51,940 --> 00:06:56,640
This is what some of you may have heard and was purchased as a value purchase.

59
00:06:57,260 --> 00:07:00,840
This particular portion does fall within our city limits.

60
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:04,840
So they are looking to move forward with an industrial development on this site.

61
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:11,480
and this is just it's automatically ag when we take it in so we have to

62
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,100
rezone it from ag to industrial so that is exactly what this is doing and it

63
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:21,860
does make the future okay anyone wishing to come forward to speak either

64
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:25,880
four or against this please do so now not

65
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,960
seeing you want to come forward I will

66
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,220
We're going to close the public hearing at 7 o' 7.

67
00:07:44,540 --> 00:07:52,720
Moving forward, agenda item number 11, conduct a public hearing on ordnance number 09-30-26.

68
00:07:53,640 --> 00:08:07,560
An amendment to ordnance number 10-18-24 exhibit A, redway impact fees and setting a new collection rate will open that public hearing at 7 o' 8.

69
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:07,600
Okay,

70
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,800
this is actually pertaining to our roadway impact fee that we adopted just recently.

71
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,220
We've had about a year to work through that roadway impact fee.

72
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,300
It's all based on plating dates.

73
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,300
So in the beginning, we didn't see any of these new rates because all of the planning was

74
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:28,940
done prior to this new study coming in.

75
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Now we're to a point where we're seeing those new flats come in and those fees have stopped

76
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,120
a couple of our projects just did in their track.

77
00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:47,540
When we first presented this, the consultant that came down recommended that we adopt this

78
00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:48,820
at a 50% fee.

79
00:08:50,660 --> 00:08:53,920
Planning and zoning also recommended the 50%.

80
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,620
Council chose to go ahead and adopt that at 100%.

81
00:08:57,620 --> 00:09:03,240
So when you look at it, we have the residential fee per service unit at 922.

82
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,300
That doesn't mean that it's $922, that's the fee per service unit.

83
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:16,160
So depending on the house and what it's doing, I believe this fees $4,544, $400 about that.

84
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:23,800
The same thing with the non-residential fee, depending on the use, one of the recent ones

85
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,740
that halted in production was $300 and something thousand dollars for the redway impact fee.

86
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:34,280
That's about double what they did vegetative for that project, so it halted that project.

87
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:38,060
It also halted a fast food project that was really expensive.

88
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,580
So, we went back to the consultant and talked to them a little bit about it.

89
00:09:41,980 --> 00:09:46,460
And given the fact that in most cities, we did do a lot of research around us as well.

90
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,140
Most cities adopt between 40 and 60.

91
00:09:49,580 --> 00:09:52,480
We did not find one city at 100 percent.

92
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,800
So we're coming back to you guys to look at maybe amending that fee.

93
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:04,480
and the proposed exhibit be would just cut the original fee in half because we're recommending 50%.

94
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,260
What did you say that the others you said 40 to 60?

95
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,280
Yeah, we didn't find anybody.

96
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:11,960
No.

97
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:13,280
Anybody at 100.

98
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:21,820
And so like I said, we haven't seen any issues with that up until just recently because we are just now recently seeing those plated properties.

99
00:10:22,940 --> 00:10:28,640
So we have written the ordinance in a way that it would take care of some of those properties that have not been permitted.

100
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120
They may have been platted, but they have not been permitted.

101
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,720
So the ordinance is written in such a way that those developments that are on hold would steal benefit from this ordinance.

102
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,560
So the ones that are permitted, can they pull back an argument and ask for a refund?

103
00:10:43,420 --> 00:10:45,940
No, I don't know if they could pull back and then read.

104
00:10:45,940 --> 00:10:53,120
but we're in the public hearing so let me let you finish and let anyone and when

105
00:10:53,120 --> 00:11:00,060
the item comes up we'll address that. Anything else? Okay anyone wishing to come

106
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:03,740
up and speak either forward against this item please do so this time.

107
00:11:09,370 --> 00:11:10,090
Not seeing

108
00:11:10,090 --> 00:11:15,490
anybody come forward we'll close the public hearing at 7-11.

109
00:11:28,310 --> 00:11:28,950
All right council

110
00:11:28,950 --> 00:11:32,870
First of all, move to the next portion of our agenda, which are action items.

111
00:11:34,890 --> 00:11:57,870
Item number 12, consideration of possible action on ordinance number 09-29-26 request for a zoning change from agriculture to live industrial of approximately 83.95 acres of land located on County Road 200 approximately 1,853 feet west of I-35.

112
00:11:58,710 --> 00:12:02,990
so this is that side that we talked about in the first public hearing it was

113
00:12:02,990 --> 00:12:07,230
slated all along to an industrial site that's what they're requesting that it

114
00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:11,690
be and they're going to build an industrial warehouse that's the intent we did

115
00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:18,770
send out a public hearing notices we received one in favor did I understand

116
00:12:18,770 --> 00:12:23,130
right and I know you said this before that anything that comes in automatically

117
00:12:23,130 --> 00:12:31,310
goes to agriculture. Any time we annex the new property, it's annexed with agricultural

118
00:12:31,310 --> 00:12:31,750
stuff.

119
00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:41,850
Any other questions? Council. You just got one response back in favor of nothing.

120
00:12:42,630 --> 00:12:46,510
Nothing opposed. Nothing opposed on this side.

121
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:52,020
Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion that we approve

122
00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:56,800
The ordinance number 09-29-26 has presented.

123
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,520
We have a motion doing your second.

124
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:00,340
Second.

125
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:05,900
We have a motion by Councilwoman Newton and a second by Councilman Burris.

126
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,140
Any other discussion?

127
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,200
All those in favor please raise your hand.

128
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,900
Here is unanimous.

129
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:21,170
I don't remember 13.

130
00:13:21,630 --> 00:13:26,690
Consideration and Possible Action of ordinance number 09-30-26

131
00:13:26,690 --> 00:13:33,850
and amendments who ordnance number 10-18-24 exhibit a roadway impact fees and

132
00:13:33,850 --> 00:13:39,550
setting a new collection rate. So like we spoke about just a minute ago, we're

133
00:13:39,550 --> 00:13:44,210
just requesting that we re-adopt that fee at 50% which would take it half of what

134
00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:50,090
it currently is. And the two businesses that are currently on hold that fee is

135
00:13:50,090 --> 00:13:53,690
They would move forward with their projects if that weren't the thing.

136
00:13:55,550 --> 00:14:01,290
May the council to this is a reminder, the CID committee did review me,

137
00:14:01,430 --> 00:14:01,570
yes.

138
00:14:02,110 --> 00:14:05,830
Secondarily, at part of the law before the committee.

139
00:14:06,610 --> 00:14:12,070
Yes, and the CIS committee also recommended approval at 50%.

140
00:14:12,070 --> 00:14:16,590
So, Mary, I'm just a quick question because I saw something on a fee schedule.

141
00:14:16,590 --> 00:14:23,970
this is not it. I think it's down at the very bottom, the fee schedule.

142
00:14:26,170 --> 00:14:26,950
Before we get

143
00:14:26,950 --> 00:14:36,990
to 20, I just saw one minor discrepancy. We're not there. I corrected myself. The fee,

144
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:41,620
I remember fee schedule jumped out. The fee schedule will be adopted, the fee schedule will be

145
00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:43,500
it meant it to reflect that.

146
00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:45,080
Currently, the piece is getting reflected

147
00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:48,440
what current fees all, which is 100%.

148
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,040
But this is just setting a new collection rate.

149
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:52,740
It is.

150
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,100
And nothing else in the study changed.

151
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,160
There was no other changes made

152
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,480
other than that decollection rate.

153
00:15:00,910 --> 00:15:02,250
Any questions, ma'am?

154
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:09,420
I want you to play here. Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion that we approve

155
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:15,680
the action item. Number 13 has presented. We have a motion done here, a second. A second.

156
00:15:17,180 --> 00:15:23,760
So we have a motion by Councilman Jan and a second by Councilwoman Tisdale. Any other discussion?

157
00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:30,490
All those in favor, please raise your hand. Here is unanimously. Thank you.

158
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,380
Item number 14,

159
00:15:35,380 --> 00:15:42,060
consideration and possible action on resolution number 2026-10, accepting a

160
00:15:42,060 --> 00:15:48,620
petition to create the triple-T ranch public improvement district within the

161
00:15:48,620 --> 00:15:53,320
extra territorial jurisdiction of the city of Saint-Eurotaxes, calling a

162
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,360
public hearing and authorizing the issuance of no disregarding the public

163
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:04,180
hearing. So basically what this agenda I was doing is making you aware we

164
00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:08,360
received a petition for PID and requesting permission to go ahead and post

165
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,840
public notice and move forward with bringing that to you all at Council.

166
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,740
So just unclear this is not a proving of that it's a proving staff to move forward

167
00:16:18,740 --> 00:16:23,900
with everything they need to do in order to bring it to us correct correct that is

168
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:28,520
correct and this is the the PID that's out by the lake so you see a little piece of

169
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,520
that as they stick out there, a lot of that border's core land, so.

170
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,760
And that is all north at 4.55.

171
00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:37,440
Yes, sir it is.

172
00:16:40,330 --> 00:16:49,190
And really, really petty, almost administrative comment that in the exhibits in the packets,

173
00:16:50,070 --> 00:16:53,090
that is not legible.

174
00:16:53,450 --> 00:16:57,390
You almost can't see the red, I think it's a red line to picking the action.

175
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:01,490
I don't know if that matters for all of prosperity.

176
00:17:01,650 --> 00:17:03,430
I'm sure you guys have a much cleaner copy.

177
00:17:03,710 --> 00:17:06,850
I just wanted to say that what was in the packet

178
00:17:06,850 --> 00:17:08,190
was just really, really hard to read.

179
00:17:08,350 --> 00:17:09,810
And if sometimes uploading it,

180
00:17:09,810 --> 00:17:12,430
it will lose some of some kind of resolution.

181
00:17:12,730 --> 00:17:14,330
You can get it into such a large set.

182
00:17:14,810 --> 00:17:15,430
Totally fair.

183
00:17:15,650 --> 00:17:18,350
Just wanted to make sure that whatever, actually.

184
00:17:19,170 --> 00:17:20,490
And you get it up in the final.

185
00:17:20,650 --> 00:17:21,790
Part of that touch is, you know,

186
00:17:22,050 --> 00:17:23,510
part of it also touches 11, 9.

187
00:17:23,870 --> 00:17:24,210
Thank you.

188
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:24,730
Right there.

189
00:17:24,810 --> 00:17:26,750
Part of it touches what, bring it?

190
00:17:29,770 --> 00:17:39,390
This is where $11.90 looks all from $4.55 so you have to go to the emergency room and then this is your name.

191
00:17:39,890 --> 00:17:41,730
Do you know where that ambulance has stopped?

192
00:17:41,950 --> 00:17:42,050
Yeah.

193
00:17:42,290 --> 00:17:44,490
It's a little bit further than it is.

194
00:17:44,990 --> 00:17:46,550
So it's nowhere near McLean.

195
00:17:47,530 --> 00:17:48,070
No.

196
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:48,330
No.

197
00:17:48,550 --> 00:17:48,670
No.

198
00:17:49,310 --> 00:17:50,670
This is north side.

199
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:52,410
No, it's the other side of the new appeal.

200
00:17:52,830 --> 00:17:52,930
Yeah.

201
00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:53,830
Across $35.

202
00:17:54,430 --> 00:17:55,610
I mean, $4.55 more.

203
00:17:55,610 --> 00:17:58,370
I was saying, you need no rise to the left side of this.

204
00:17:58,910 --> 00:17:59,090
Yes.

205
00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:59,690
Uh-huh.

206
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,300
You have to go to the morning to get to this.

207
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:07,260
And there is nothing on any of that property.

208
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,560
You just all vacant land.

209
00:18:10,650 --> 00:18:11,490
Any other questions?

210
00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:16,280
Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion.

211
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,820
We approve resolution number 2026-10.

212
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,160
Do I hear a second?

213
00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:23,200
A second.

214
00:18:24,940 --> 00:18:28,160
So we have a motion by Councilwoman Newton

215
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,180
In a second, I count someone in Tisdale, any other discussion.

216
00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:35,580
All those in favor, please raise your hand.

217
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:37,840
Here is unanimously.

218
00:18:38,340 --> 00:18:38,660
Thank you.

219
00:18:44,940 --> 00:18:45,740
I don't remember 15.

220
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,640
The consideration, possible, action to accept the written request for annexation from

221
00:18:50,640 --> 00:19:00,360
Triple T Farms LLC for approximately 387 acres of land in the RBB Survey, A-29,

222
00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:03,740
and the

223
00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:11,100
792, generally located east of Union Hill Road, west of Jones Road, north of Farmer Market

224
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:15,400
Road, 1190, and south of Lake Threy Roberts Drive,

225
00:19:17,870 --> 00:19:21,510
and Call of City Council annexation

226
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:25,870
public hearing to be held on October 5th, 2026.

227
00:19:26,430 --> 00:19:26,850
That is correct.

228
00:19:26,990 --> 00:19:31,750
This is part of that same triple T development.

229
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:39,610
What they've done here is they're just simply asking for a public hearing request for annexation and annexation and the PID.

230
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:44,110
All of those items would come before you all on October 5th.

231
00:19:44,110 --> 00:19:51,670
The survey, these are all part of the steps and the processes involved in our PID process.

232
00:19:51,910 --> 00:19:55,350
And following the local government code, all of these are things that call.

233
00:19:56,250 --> 00:20:01,670
This one may be a little unusual in the sense that there is an annexation involved.

234
00:20:03,150 --> 00:20:08,490
Your city, unlike some, we request day one annexation.

235
00:20:08,690 --> 00:20:11,050
A lot of cities are not doing the day one annexation.

236
00:20:11,530 --> 00:20:14,590
They're letting the bomb launch the issue, not all of them.

237
00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:21,030
Several of them are letting the bomb launch the issue and then when the debt is retired in the

238
00:20:21,030 --> 00:20:29,990
that come in. So, some of those 20-year deal, when they're finally bringing them in, you hear this is the unusual piece

239
00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:35,350
for beating annexation, and that was part of our request that they agreed to stand next table.

240
00:20:35,710 --> 00:20:43,750
The first is going to a PID. They'll go to a PID, it will be that PID, those properties will be part of their

241
00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:50,790
taxable from the creation hit forward rather than waiting for the PID assistance to be paid off

242
00:20:50,790 --> 00:20:58,650
30 years from now. As you recall from our work session that's one of the biggest benefits of

243
00:20:58,650 --> 00:21:05,610
a PID is annexation now that the state has limited our ability to annex them coming in is huge.

244
00:21:06,050 --> 00:21:08,930
This is a peculiar annexation and PID will also be bringing utilities.

245
00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:12,710
Yes. They will also be bringing utilities to this site.

246
00:21:15,970 --> 00:21:21,190
So from where they are, there will be connecting to our utilities back in town.

247
00:21:21,490 --> 00:21:24,390
That's a huge benefit to the city.

248
00:21:25,390 --> 00:21:29,670
But this way, so that may not always see an annexation use with your hands.

249
00:21:31,470 --> 00:21:35,350
I'm sorry, I said except for sewer, this will be septic out here.

250
00:21:36,170 --> 00:21:40,350
They're going to put in a list station and run sewer line back to the city.

251
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,860
Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion that we approve of item number 15 is presented.

252
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,060
We have a motion. Do I hear a second?

253
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,180
I'll second.

254
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,760
So we have a motion by Councilwoman Newton, and we have a second by Councilman Gann.

255
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,440
Any other discussion?

256
00:22:02,660 --> 00:22:04,280
All those in favor please raise your hand.

257
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,340
Here is unanimous.

258
00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:08,100
Thank you.

259
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:09,380
Thank you, Councilman.

260
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,640
Are you going away?

261
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,880
You've been up here for all time.

262
00:22:14,220 --> 00:22:15,680
I know I'm going to watch the video on this term.

263
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:30,060
All right. I don't know. Number 16 consideration and fiscal action on ordinance zero nine dash twenty five dash twenty six approving the property tax roll. Now I see why you left, Amy.

264
00:22:32,860 --> 00:22:42,980
Good evening, Mary County. Tonight's the night. You're going to adopt several things to prepare the city for operations, starting our new fiscal year October 1st.

265
00:22:42,980 --> 00:22:49,940
There are several steps in this and if you will allow me, just thought I would walk through that because they all build on each other.

266
00:22:50,940 --> 00:22:57,220
The first action is to approve the property tax role that we received it from the appraisal district.

267
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:04,500
After that comes the adoption of the budget for the 2627 fiscal year.

268
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:13,380
after that setting the property tax rate that supports that budget for 2627 then

269
00:23:13,380 --> 00:23:19,600
ratifying additional property tax revenues that will come from additional

270
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,200
properties and additional value on the tax row and then finally amending the

271
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:30,360
city's fee schedule. I wanted to point out two of these items when we go to it when

272
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:36,060
adopt the budget and the tax rate, they require a record vote or a roll call vote.

273
00:23:36,460 --> 00:23:41,200
So after there's been a motion and a second, instead of a normal raised hand vote,

274
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,880
city secretary will hold each council member for their vote on those two items.

275
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:54,880
So the first step is approving ordinance 0-925-26 that you're considering.

276
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:02,340
property tax code section 26.09E requires that city council prove the tax

277
00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:08,960
role as submitted by the assessor. And we received this back on July 22nd,

278
00:24:10,060 --> 00:24:18,700
2026 and you have a copy of the ordinance and that appraisal with you and staff

279
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:21,160
recommends approval of the ordinance.

280
00:24:22,620 --> 00:24:23,820
Can I ask you a question?

281
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:25,160
Yes, sir.

282
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:25,740
All right.

283
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,820
Where did this come in?

284
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,240
I know that you're usually pretty conservative by nature.

285
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:35,020
I mean, is it roughly where you thought it was going to be?

286
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:38,680
We were within about 2% for our thought would be.

287
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:39,160
Really?

288
00:24:40,220 --> 00:24:45,920
It actually was about 2% lower than I thought it would be.

289
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,060
and that is, if you recall, we had a discussion

290
00:24:49,060 --> 00:24:53,240
on layer of that, the average value slightly decreased

291
00:24:53,820 --> 00:24:54,340
this year.

292
00:24:55,980 --> 00:24:58,100
So just to put that in perspective,

293
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:01,380
when the staff begins the budget process in January

294
00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:04,060
and try to finish up in June, and you've got this,

295
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,420
and what was the date?

296
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,260
What was the date you got the certificate by the year?

297
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,800
July 22nd.

298
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,360
July 22nd, we were still within.

299
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:18,980
And so staff does a really good job of being conservative and I think that that is huge

300
00:25:18,980 --> 00:25:22,200
dividends for us, a nice job once again.

301
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,440
So what else do you have on for us to consider on that item?

302
00:25:28,700 --> 00:25:28,920
Anything?

303
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:30,880
That is all for the silence.

304
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:31,180
Okay.

305
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,020
And of course there's council, any questions for Clayton on this?

306
00:25:37,020 --> 00:25:43,360
You've seen the role, if you have any questions on that then please, this is the time to ask.

307
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,080
Otherwise, these are the certified numbers and I will entertain a motion.

308
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:51,300
Mr. Mayor, I'll like a lesson that we approve.

309
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:53,320
I'm number 16 as presented.

310
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:56,100
We have a motion to hear a second.

311
00:25:57,820 --> 00:26:04,460
We have a motion by Councilwoman Newton and a second by Councilman Burris and another discussion.

312
00:26:04,460 --> 00:26:08,220
All those in favor, please raise your hand.

313
00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:12,040
Here is unanimous thing.

314
00:26:16,050 --> 00:26:18,730
Can you all not clear me on the right, or just a little slower.

315
00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:19,070
What?

316
00:26:21,170 --> 00:26:21,650
All

317
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,040
right, we'll move on, Clayton.

318
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,220
All right.

319
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:35,300
Item number 17, consideration of possible action on ordnets, 0, 9-26-26, adopting the budget providing

320
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:41,760
for the appropriation of funds for operating and capital expenditures for the fiscal year

321
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:50,380
beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027, providing for the intra and inter

322
00:26:50,380 --> 00:26:58,540
department and fund transfers, providing for unexpected revenues such as grants, donations,

323
00:26:58,540 --> 00:27:06,680
and insurance proceeds providing for an effective day and providing for approval of the investment policy.

324
00:27:07,140 --> 00:27:16,280
Thank you Mayor. I would give this ordinance does adopt the budget so City can operate from October 1st through September 30th of this coming year.

325
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Just as a reminder, budget workshops were open to the public during the July 6 and July 20 meetings.

326
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:34,080
And the budget was filed with the city secretary and was available on the city's website for public inspection.

327
00:27:34,940 --> 00:27:41,760
The city published the required notice and the didn't record chronicle posted notice on the city's website of the budget.

328
00:27:42,780 --> 00:27:53,020
Public hearings to gather information requests from the public were held on August the 10th and August the 17th for the budget.

329
00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:59,300
and this ordinance, as mayor stated, also presacies investment policy for the coming year

330
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:08,120
to require that this be approved annually, there's no changes from the policy as it has been presented,

331
00:28:08,740 --> 00:28:14,980
and there's been no changes to the budget since the last copy that you were given after we had

332
00:28:14,980 --> 00:28:19,300
almost property taxes and then knew what would be what effectively.

333
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:27,480
This is one of the two items that does require a roll call load and staff recommends approval.

334
00:28:29,540 --> 00:28:32,560
Council, what questions do you have for Flaith and her staff?

335
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:35,900
He's been over thoroughly the last time.

336
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:38,920
I have another administrative question.

337
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:40,960
What was that?

338
00:28:52,720 --> 00:29:03,800
I don't care about the budget book, I don't care about the budget book but I just didn't know the ordinance part mattered.

339
00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:06,840
My apologies for that oversight.

340
00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:13,880
I just didn't know if it mattered. I'm the one that caused a roughest change in my last name. That's on me. I just didn't want to tell you.

341
00:29:14,340 --> 00:29:16,140
I'm glad she finally admitted that.

342
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,740
That's on me. I don't know the matters. It doesn't matter to me.

343
00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:22,580
It doesn't matter to me.

344
00:29:26,260 --> 00:29:26,660
Beautiful.

345
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:27,400
I

346
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,640
want some weirdo coming back being like, oh, that's not right. Your old budget's canceled.

347
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:44,870
We appreciate that, I'm going to leave that on the phone, I'm just going to leave it on the phone.

348
00:29:45,010 --> 00:29:47,790
All right, I'll just go ahead and roll it.

349
00:29:48,250 --> 00:29:51,370
You had a rocious side of that or anything?

350
00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:54,870
If there's no other questions, what's your pleasure?

351
00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:54,930
Thank you.

352
00:29:56,730 --> 00:29:59,250
I would like to make a motion that we approve.

353
00:29:59,410 --> 00:29:59,790
I would understand.

354
00:30:03,940 --> 00:30:28,020
What's on the driver's license, if that matters. We have a motion. Do we have a second? And so we have a motion by councilwoman Newton. Sorry. And then a second by councilwoman Tisdale. Now, any other discussion? All right, this is a roll call. Madam Secretary. Yes. Councilmember Nguyen, how do you vote? Yes.

355
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,980
Yes. Councilmember Bolger, how do you vote? Yes.

356
00:30:36,980 --> 00:30:37,500
Councilmember Bolger, how do you vote? Yes.

357
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,440
And Councilmember Tisley, how do you vote? Yes.

358
00:30:46,260 --> 00:30:49,480
We get. All right. Thank you, Council.

359
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,280
That for the record passes and amendments.

360
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:03,200
Item number 18. Consideration and Moscow action on ordinance 0-9-27-26.

361
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:16,620
setting the city's at Belorum tax rate at 0.689747 for $100 of taxable assessed valuation

362
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:23,900
for the fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2026 and ending September 30, 2027.

363
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,780
Mayor, this is the proposed rate that you set a few weeks ago.

364
00:31:29,780 --> 00:31:35,840
So, this rate is also unchanged from the current 25, 26 year.

365
00:31:36,220 --> 00:31:42,000
It's also the third year that the rate has remained the same from year to year.

366
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:48,780
The breakout between maintenance and operations in debt has switched a little bit, flops a

367
00:31:48,780 --> 00:31:54,560
little bit of a year based on what the debt rate needs to be, but the overall tax rate is consistent

368
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,060
and flat with the last several years.

369
00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:06,380
In accordance with the Texas Property Tax Code, City published the required notices for

370
00:32:06,380 --> 00:32:06,640
this.

371
00:32:06,940 --> 00:32:13,220
It's been available on the City's website and public hearings for public input on the proposed

372
00:32:13,220 --> 00:32:18,100
tax rate where he'll August the 17th of this year.

373
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:26,720
So adopting the property tax rate will fund the budget that you just adopted in the previous

374
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:32,780
action. And with my apologies again to the City Secretary and Councilman Newton, there

375
00:32:32,780 --> 00:32:35,600
will only be a name change on this item as well.

376
00:32:38,470 --> 00:32:40,550
This is the second item that requires

377
00:32:40,550 --> 00:32:48,270
a roll call vote and staff recommends approval. Council, any questions for Clayton or Sam?

378
00:32:48,490 --> 00:32:53,450
I don't have questions, but we appreciate the hard work of the City employees to be able

379
00:32:53,450 --> 00:32:57,330
to keep it three years in a row at the same rate.

380
00:33:01,590 --> 00:33:16,850
Mr. Rayer, I made that the property tax rate be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of 0.689747 for $100, which is effectively a 0.46% increase in the tax rate.

381
00:33:18,110 --> 00:33:20,110
We have a motion. Do I hear a second?

382
00:33:20,330 --> 00:33:20,650
Second.

383
00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:36,200
I have a motion by Councilwoman Newton and seconded by Councilwoman Tizdale.

384
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,620
This does require a record vote.

385
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:42,340
I'm Secretary.

386
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,320
Thank you

387
00:34:07,670 --> 00:34:11,650
very much item number 19 consideration

388
00:34:11,650 --> 00:34:15,670
operation, hospital action on the ordinance 09-28-26,

389
00:34:15,870 --> 00:34:18,890
ratifying the property tax increase reflected

390
00:34:19,450 --> 00:34:23,210
and the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget.

391
00:34:24,830 --> 00:34:28,110
Mayor Council, this item is required by state law.

392
00:34:29,010 --> 00:34:33,130
And even though the tax rate is remaining the same,

393
00:34:33,990 --> 00:34:37,230
even though the average value of homes has decreased,

394
00:34:37,570 --> 00:34:40,870
so some homeowners may see a lower tax bill this year.

395
00:34:41,650 --> 00:34:47,370
Because there are additional properties on the tax roll and because some values have risen

396
00:34:47,890 --> 00:34:55,830
The city will collect more property tax revenue in the next year than we have in the current year and for that reason

397
00:34:55,830 --> 00:34:59,790
You're required to ratify a property tax increase

398
00:35:00,550 --> 00:35:03,430
Even though the rate is staying flat

399
00:35:04,330 --> 00:35:06,830
So proposed rate is unchanged

400
00:35:06,830 --> 00:35:22,110
Section 102.007C, local government code, requires that if the budget will raise more revenue from property taxes prior year, that separate vote of the city council ratifies the property tax increase.

401
00:35:23,090 --> 00:35:28,690
calculation of the increased revenues is based on the adjusted tax roles which

402
00:35:28,690 --> 00:35:39,070
results in a property tax revenue increase of $531,967. Of that additional

403
00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:48,810
revenue for next year, $487,028 in revenues generated from new properties added

404
00:35:48,810 --> 00:35:52,670
to the road this year, so almost all of that increase

405
00:35:52,670 --> 00:35:55,690
is from brand new properties on the tax roll.

406
00:35:58,110 --> 00:36:00,130
And staff recommends approval.

407
00:36:03,390 --> 00:36:06,050
Council, any questions for Clayton or staff on this?

408
00:36:06,690 --> 00:36:06,850
No.

409
00:36:07,310 --> 00:36:10,770
No, that's a very helpful number

410
00:36:11,090 --> 00:36:12,450
that I hadn't seen in the past,

411
00:36:12,670 --> 00:36:14,930
so I appreciate you putting that in here.

412
00:36:14,930 --> 00:36:15,110
Yes, sir.

413
00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:20,050
And how you explained it, the phrasing of the same,

414
00:36:20,050 --> 00:36:23,470
but I was wondering about that.

415
00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:28,410
I appreciate it as a citizen knowing how it really does work.

416
00:36:28,910 --> 00:36:29,930
Thank you.

417
00:36:30,550 --> 00:36:31,630
Any other questions?

418
00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:32,230
Yes, please.

419
00:36:32,970 --> 00:36:34,890
So I want to do my annual complaint,

420
00:36:35,090 --> 00:36:36,890
but I think that's a ridiculous rule

421
00:36:36,890 --> 00:36:40,530
from the state to make it more complicated than it has to be.

422
00:36:40,930 --> 00:36:42,130
Yeah, I mean...

423
00:36:42,130 --> 00:36:42,870
Scares people?

424
00:36:43,070 --> 00:36:45,970
I mean, it's difficult,

425
00:36:46,570 --> 00:36:48,750
because we're not misrepresenting what we're doing.

426
00:36:48,750 --> 00:36:54,470
correct it all it does sound like it's a misrepresentation by the state well it

427
00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:57,750
doesn't pass the same test when you say it out loud it doesn't pass the

428
00:36:57,750 --> 00:37:01,230
smell test and so everyone instantly gets suspicious anyways so it's not

429
00:37:01,230 --> 00:37:05,830
serving the intended purpose that the state started look I got to talk about this

430
00:37:05,830 --> 00:37:08,550
for forever I appreciate you putting a bullet point saying it was a state

431
00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:14,470
fault we have to say it this way thank you and just so you know if it was one

432
00:37:14,470 --> 00:37:21,750
One cent. One cent more. We would be going through this. That is correct. One cent. One cent. One cent. One cent of additional revenue.

433
00:37:22,530 --> 00:37:22,710
Yep.

434
00:37:22,990 --> 00:37:27,230
Would make this a requirement. We'd still be sitting here and listening to Councilwoman Nugan.

435
00:37:27,950 --> 00:37:33,830
All right. Any other questions for Clayton or staff?

436
00:37:35,050 --> 00:37:36,670
What's your pleasure, Councilor?

437
00:37:37,350 --> 00:37:41,910
Mr. Mayor, I make a motion that we approve ordinance number 09-2826.

438
00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:42,150
six.

439
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,020
We have a motion here.

440
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,400
So we have a motion by Councilwoman Newton and

441
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:59,940
signated by Councilman Burris in the other discussion. All those in favor, please raise your hand.

442
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,500
As is unanimously. Thank you.

443
00:38:05,980 --> 00:38:07,440
Item number 20, consideration,

444
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:12,720
consideration, hospital action on resolution 2026-11, I'm mending the fee schedule.

445
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:21,240
We're in Council several years ago, we moved to updating the fee schedule once a year in conjunction with adopting the budget.

446
00:38:21,860 --> 00:38:29,860
Before that time, things were just brought to you throughout the year as something needed to be changed or someone had an idea for changing anything.

447
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:35,820
We feel this is much more effective and just brings one item to you that classifies all those things.

448
00:38:35,820 --> 00:38:42,440
So, you have the ordinance with the fee schedule, there's also a schedule of what's changing.

449
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:47,540
But just in a review of those, we're updating development services, building construction

450
00:38:47,540 --> 00:38:56,580
fees that better reflect the time required of staff to perform those duties and adds fees

451
00:38:56,580 --> 00:39:00,720
for retaining walls and parking lots that are not currently in the fee schedule.

452
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:09,320
updating the food service fees to incorporate some recently updated fees established by the Texas Department of Health,

453
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:20,780
revising the library's lost and damaged materials fees, updating the parts pavilion fee rentals to move to all day rental options

454
00:39:20,780 --> 00:39:29,640
for the pavilions, adding a police department fingerprinting fee, updating the public works water service connection fee

455
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,580
to reflect the increased costs of water meters,

456
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,580
and finally adopting new sewer and wastewater service rates

457
00:39:36,580 --> 00:39:39,800
as recommended by Nujin's Strategies and Solutions,

458
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,120
which is presented to Council back in August of 2025

459
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,980
with a five-year schedule.

460
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,640
And staff recommends approval of resolution.

461
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,300
And Mary, do you think now that we have the change

462
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:59,220
the impact fees because of the current adoption.

463
00:40:00,420 --> 00:40:02,320
Say that when we're talking about the impact fees,

464
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,860
we'll have to be corrected on the fee schedule.

465
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:04,680
Okay.

466
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,600
Because of the adoptive rate reduced to not.

467
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:08,360
Yes.

468
00:40:08,820 --> 00:40:09,240
Thank you, sir.

469
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,380
Can I just ask you a quick question on page one?

470
00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:16,780
It's under the fees for food service, the very first one.

471
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,300
I think that's just a typo, but I want to make sure that

472
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,640
this is not what's going to happen.

473
00:40:23,220 --> 00:40:29,340
You see where the very first one goes from zero and it says 55 and it says an increase

474
00:40:29,340 --> 00:40:29,700
of 50.

475
00:40:29,820 --> 00:40:32,380
I think it's supposed to be 50 instead of 50 by one.

476
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,540
Are you looking at the schedule changes?

477
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,180
The schedule proposed changes to the fee schedule.

478
00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:46,980
Starts out with building a construction and then it goes down to fees for food service, the

479
00:40:46,980 --> 00:40:47,780
very first one.

480
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:48,720
It's a late fee.

481
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,080
The business-related fees.

482
00:40:50,540 --> 00:40:50,620
Yeah.

483
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:51,680
Unblocked.

484
00:40:53,630 --> 00:40:58,870
Yes, that is that that is a typo that is the typo

485
00:40:59,930 --> 00:41:07,350
The proposed fee is 55 and they change would be I will tell you maybe pull my calculator out for all the other ones the rest of them look good

486
00:41:11,410 --> 00:41:12,370
My apologies

487
00:41:23,630 --> 00:41:25,530
I mean, it's very, very stupid.

488
00:41:26,070 --> 00:41:26,470
55, too.

489
00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:33,740
All right.

490
00:41:38,820 --> 00:41:46,080
So is that something that can be administratively changed

491
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,840
or do we have to say we're going to do that with motion?

492
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,980
I mean, we do need to say.

493
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,660
When the schedule is adopted, what will be posted is just the

494
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:06,220
Okay, but it's not going to be 50,000 to be 50, right?

495
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:07,440
Okay.

496
00:42:08,340 --> 00:42:09,700
I thought he said 50,000.

497
00:42:09,980 --> 00:42:10,580
It should be 50,000.

498
00:42:11,220 --> 00:42:12,340
I made it.

499
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:12,960
I made it.

500
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:13,680
I made it.

501
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:14,980
That is the same terms.

502
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,580
Well, the other one is 25 dollar increments.

503
00:42:18,580 --> 00:42:20,600
And that's why I was wondering if that was the type of.

504
00:42:21,660 --> 00:42:22,020
Okay.

505
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,560
Well, listen, that's fine.

506
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,700
I just couldn't put that back.

507
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,980
And my follow-up is I made a statement a moment ago

508
00:42:30,980 --> 00:42:35,200
that the requested fee is 50, that the 55,

509
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,880
that's on the attachment is in there.

510
00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:47,640
So the change is 50, which is correct in the fee schedule itself

511
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,900
attached to the order.

512
00:42:49,140 --> 00:42:51,840
And so I think the city manager clarified this.

513
00:42:51,980 --> 00:42:53,620
What we're looking at is just for us,

514
00:42:53,620 --> 00:42:56,160
the official document will be correct.

515
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:59,280
Yeah, nobody, yeah, everybody just wants to see what it's going to cost them.

516
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,380
Not what it used to cost them.

517
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Okay.

518
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:01,560
Perfect.

519
00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:02,360
Perfect.

520
00:43:04,670 --> 00:43:05,230
All right.

521
00:43:05,590 --> 00:43:10,810
Sorry to go down that rabbit hole, but Clayton need to catch your own food.

522
00:43:11,010 --> 00:43:11,890
Do you have anything else today?

523
00:43:12,270 --> 00:43:12,910
That's that, sir.

524
00:43:13,150 --> 00:43:13,310
Okay.

525
00:43:13,990 --> 00:43:14,430
Council?

526
00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:17,270
Any other questions for Clayton or staff?

527
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:22,260
Is it?

528
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:26,380
No good?

529
00:43:27,020 --> 00:43:27,280
Okay.

530
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:28,660
We're side barring.

531
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:29,220
Okay.

532
00:43:29,220 --> 00:43:37,080
Okay, well usually all the side bars over here and there are no other questions for staff.

533
00:43:37,820 --> 00:43:38,320
What's your pleasure?

534
00:43:39,180 --> 00:43:44,040
This may or may make a motion to approve resolution 2026, that shall remain as presented.

535
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,620
We have a motion to hear a second.

536
00:43:47,620 --> 00:43:48,080
I'll second.

537
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:54,180
So we have a motion by Councilman Burris and seconded by Councilman Gain.

538
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,380
Any other discussion?

539
00:43:55,380 --> 00:44:04,690
not hearing any. All those in favor please raise your right hand or let's just raise a hand. How's that?

540
00:44:05,350 --> 00:44:08,970
Carey sheet and animously. Thank you. You know my lefty. Thank you.

541
00:44:09,550 --> 00:44:11,470
All right.

542
00:44:13,790 --> 00:44:20,750
Next portion of the agenda is future agenda items. Does council have anything? They'd like to bring up the staff about

543
00:44:21,430 --> 00:44:24,530
future agenda items. I would like to

544
00:44:24,530 --> 00:44:32,550
to talk about the sewer treatment, but it's really us watering our lawns more.

545
00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:41,430
I would like the city or whoever looks into it, maybe seeing what other cities do because

546
00:44:41,870 --> 00:44:50,790
our electric bills going up but the water, so we're paying for our lawns to be watered

547
00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:59,750
And we're getting paid a sewer fee on water that's not being treated so I would kind of like to look and see what other places do

548
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:11,920
To mitigate a little bit of the summertime water, lawn watering fees. I know that some go from

549
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:17,880
in, they take the winter months and stuff, and that's the, what the average or something.

550
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,220
Just investigate.

551
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:28,350
This is pregnancy between the water and your waste water because you're getting charged

552
00:45:28,350 --> 00:45:33,970
with waste water in order to be there because it's not because it's not treated going in

553
00:45:33,970 --> 00:45:36,330
your lawn, it never did treat it while you're paying for it.

554
00:45:36,390 --> 00:45:36,510
Right.

555
00:45:36,970 --> 00:45:37,410
Definitely.

556
00:45:37,830 --> 00:45:39,930
Just put a second meter on their irrigation system.

557
00:45:40,150 --> 00:45:41,330
They're like $5,000.

558
00:45:41,610 --> 00:45:42,890
You're never going to recoup that.

559
00:45:43,170 --> 00:45:45,170
Most people only live in their house seven years.

560
00:45:45,750 --> 00:45:51,430
So what's the ask is it the ask is for us to review our piece of the label or yeah to

561
00:45:51,430 --> 00:45:57,330
see what others like Denton they take the the winter months like water usage

562
00:45:57,330 --> 00:46:04,150
or sur usage and they charge you that all summer long because that's what you

563
00:46:04,150 --> 00:46:10,750
use most of the time throughout the normal but when you start watering in the

564
00:46:10,750 --> 00:46:20,030
summertime it's not being right so because like an average failing type of

565
00:46:20,030 --> 00:46:30,190
Yes, what they do is they take, I think they take, I don't want to have it on my phone, January to February, but didn't all didn't, does this?

566
00:46:30,650 --> 00:46:34,490
They take the winter months, sir, and apply it to the summer.

567
00:46:36,570 --> 00:46:44,490
Well, all I would ask is that if you don't want to coordinate with staff to make sure they understand exactly what you're after.

568
00:46:44,490 --> 00:46:51,290
I think I do, but I want to make sure wherever you're asking if you coordinate and then present it to all council.

569
00:46:51,590 --> 00:46:51,670
Okay.

570
00:46:51,990 --> 00:46:54,150
All right.

571
00:46:54,750 --> 00:46:56,910
Any other future agenda out of?

572
00:46:58,470 --> 00:46:59,890
Well, council, I have one.

573
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:10,260
I just, I'm not going to read the letter, but I will tell you that we do have one of our peers.

574
00:47:10,260 --> 00:47:21,540
councilman Boulder will be leaving the city limits. He did sell his property and has put in

575
00:47:21,540 --> 00:47:30,960
notice of resignation of his seat of today's date as the effective date. The reason why I'm

576
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:39,280
bringing it up now, one, I appreciate you making the effort to serve and I thought we were a better

577
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:45,300
council with you here, and I'm going to miss not having you here, but that also triggers

578
00:47:45,300 --> 00:47:54,300
some other things that needs to happen. So I will ask staff to put together, we have

579
00:47:54,300 --> 00:48:01,080
to have a replacement. And there's a process. And in the future agenda, is that where we're

580
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:06,400
Your steps prepare to take out the patient's for replacement for this proposal.

581
00:48:07,140 --> 00:48:16,220
We have verified with the city attorney that he will hold over by state law until which

582
00:48:16,220 --> 00:48:18,780
point someone is appointed to a seat.

583
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:27,620
The point will be through the remainder of this year for his first term and then that seat

584
00:48:27,620 --> 00:48:30,600
will be available as a special election along with your.

585
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,440
in May of 27.

586
00:48:35,980 --> 00:48:41,600
We have everything set to take out patients through.

587
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,660
Whatever period you like, staff would recommend that you consider taking them

588
00:48:46,660 --> 00:48:49,980
for a couple of weeks to see how many applicants you did.

589
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,100
And if you give them a bunch of applications, maybe you can leave it open.

590
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:57,500
And the future agenda item would be to bring those to you so that you could

591
00:48:57,500 --> 00:48:59,680
discuss the teaching candidates.

592
00:49:01,820 --> 00:49:04,280
It would be for a one-year term to fill out.

593
00:49:04,940 --> 00:49:07,540
It would be to, yeah, fill out the remainder of this term.

594
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:14,940
And then they certainly could run that seat when the election comes.

595
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,340
It's not the remainder of this term. He came in on a two-year.

596
00:49:18,620 --> 00:49:22,200
It's just until the official election in May.

597
00:49:22,420 --> 00:49:30,200
So it would fill, say we found someone next month, they would go until May, they could run again, it would be for one year.

598
00:49:31,420 --> 00:49:32,940
And to get back on the cycle.

599
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,760
So if they run again, then that's for the remainder of the time.

600
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:37,440
Yeah, if they run again, it's their time.

601
00:49:38,220 --> 00:49:41,240
They're just filling this bond till the election again.

602
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:47,700
So you're allowed to point, you could have went up to, you know, you have to have two at the same time.

603
00:49:57,060 --> 00:50:07,080
I think that's the most fair way to do it we announce it to the city we take applications and then we we discuss those among ourselves.

604
00:50:09,940 --> 00:50:15,520
I know there's other ways but I believe that is probably the most fair way to do it.

605
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:24,760
So, look forward to going forward with that and Councilman Bulger, seriously, I think

606
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:31,080
you are a great improvement to this council and I appreciate your willingness to stay

607
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,820
on until we find someone.

608
00:50:33,140 --> 00:50:34,100
So, thank you very much.

609
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:34,560
Thank you.

610
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,100
All right.

611
00:50:37,460 --> 00:50:39,500
Any other future agenda items?

612
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:48,120
Council, what you'll see next is all your information items. I don't know if you have any questions

613
00:50:48,120 --> 00:51:00,800
about those. If not, then we will adjourn at 7.51. Thank you.
