Uh our inaugural year was was this past year. Uh Shannonoa helped 32 00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,800 out a lot in a number of different ways. We actually started about a year ago and 33 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,760 I was going for grants and trying to grow grow it and uh with the help of 34 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:00,959 Mayor Scott and and Shannonoa uh giving us letters of recommendations. We 35 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,640 actually you know worked on trying to get these grants but we were able to put 36 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:09,680 the the event on at Lonear College. Uh we partnered with them. Uh we had over 37 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:14,959 132 films from 20 different countries. Wow. We had a big initiative for uh 38 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:21,120 student films. Uh Scott Faulk uh worked for uh he works for the Woodlands High 39 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:24,800 School and um he was really big in contacted over 80 different high 40 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,280 schools. We allowed high school students to enter for free because he wanted them 41 00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:33,120 to come. So almost half of uh of our entries were from high school students 42 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:39,599 uh from around the world actually. But uh we did a lot with that. Um and then 43 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:44,000 we had over 41 different um uh partners, community partners and sponsors and we 44 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,680 want to grow that and um do that more this year. We wanted to say thank you 45 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:53,200 for everything that Shandoa did to to help this event, you know, working with 46 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:58,239 the city of Shandoa and Visit Shandoa. Um we we partnered with um like the the 47 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:02,400 Crown Plaza and Amarina uh Supre and that that whole group uh donated a lot 48 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:06,480 of stuff to help us uh help the event going really well. we and it was well 49 00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:10,080 attended and we want to grow that and do it again this year make it our you know 50 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,560 annual event >> and and I just want to say you know 51 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:16,400 you're a member of the economic development partnership and we got to 52 00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:19,600 sit into a meeting with them and they're always wondering how do we get these 53 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:24,240 companies why are they all going to Plano and Frisco and all this other 54 00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:28,720 stuff and I know we're just a small part of it but having an international film 55 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:33,520 festival you know when you put that it's one little piece of a puzzle um and 56 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:38,320 that's what we are and what we can bring to this community. Uh so that when 57 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,400 somebody shows them a company that there is, you know, something different, some 58 00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:47,199 foreign films from people from around the world, films from here and there 59 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,320 plus locally. So or just one little piece of a puzzle, but we appreciate 60 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,000 everything that you guys have done for us. 61 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,840 » Thank you. >> And then we have a report for you. 62 00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:57,600 » Thank you. Thank you very much. >> Thank you very much. 63 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,120 » Thanks. Good to see you. >> I love the name Pine. 64 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:03,759 » Pinewood. >> Yeah. 65 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:12,479 I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the presence of our superintendent of 66 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:17,840 CISD, Dr. Vincent. Welcome. Welcome to Shannondoa. 67 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,720 » Thank you. These guys are wonderful. >> Thank you. Yes, we are. 68 00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:26,199 » All right. Next, uh Gary Henson. 69 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:44,080 Good evening, gentlemen. [clears throat] >> I just want to ask uh a small question 70 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:48,000 on an agenda item. Uh I out there I put down a couple things, but I think I made 71 00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:56,324 the wrong agenda choice, but let me just clarify. I really want a 78 agenda item 72 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,600 that you've got listed there on the uh [clears throat] 73 00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:02,720 180day uh 74 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,880 » fund reserve >> reserve that we have. Yes. And uh the I 75 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:16,400 think there's a discussion later about that whether it go to 90 or 120 or leave 76 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:20,720 it at 180. And so my point is as I was looking at that and looking at the 77 00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:30,160 monthly uh financial statement that's given out in the in the agenda items uh 78 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:35,680 it seems like that uh that reserve fund the current reserve fund is like 5,000 79 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:40,800 5,98,000. I think I'm pretty accurate there. And I 80 00:06:38,479 --> 00:06:46,960 just wanted to find out is that because we have 81 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:56,160 uh not funded or not uh put into into the fund into the uh fund for 2526. 82 00:06:52,240 --> 00:07:02,960 Is that why that number is so small or why there is uh a difference between 83 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:07,440 what we actually need which was 6,000 6,98,000? 84 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,120 That's my question. So, I don't need an answer from you guys, but uh I would 85 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,680 like an answer. >> You you may hear a response during our 86 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,120 discussion. >> All right. [laughter] 87 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:24,000 Great. >> Thank you, Mr. Hansen. 88 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:27,120 » All right. There are no more speakers. Madam Secretary, that was it. 89 00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:31,599 » Yes, sir. >> All right. 90 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,080 We're going to move on to item number six. presentation of a proclamation 91 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:41,919 designating September 17th through the 23rd as Constitution Week. 92 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:46,960 I'm going to read the proclamation. Um 93 00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:50,639 whereas September 17, 2026 marks the the 239th 94 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:54,240 anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of 95 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:59,199 America by the Constitutional Convention. And whereas it is fitting 96 00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:04,639 and proper to accord official recognition to this magnificent document 97 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,280 and its memorable anniversary and to the patriotic celebrations which 98 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:15,039 will commemorate the occasion. And whereas public law 915 99 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:19,680 guarantees the issuing of proclamation each year by the president of the United 100 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:25,120 States of America designating September 17th through the 23rd as Constitution 101 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:29,599 Week. Therefore, I John G. Escaro, mayor of the city of Shannondoa, Texas, do 102 00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:36,000 hereby proclaim the week of September 17th through 23rd as Constitution Week 103 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:39,680 and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals of the framers of the 104 00:08:37,599 --> 00:08:46,399 Constitution uh had in in 1787 by vig vigilantly 105 00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:51,760 protecting the freedoms guaranteed.

And that'll be Miss Pat Keane, Miss 112 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:28,360 Cherry Calendarer, Miss Judy Lano, and Miss Debbie Jackson. 113 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:44,000 » Ladies, >> thank you. 114 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:50,920 your signature. >> My signature fix. 115 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,920 » Thank you very much. 116 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,211 » Thank you. Thank you. [applause] 117 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,880 All right, we're going to move on to item number seven, 118 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:35,200 » discussion of possible action to approve the general fund reserve policy. 119 00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:41,680 » Mayor and council, you've seen your agenda pack. This is a um returning 120 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:48,720 discussion item. um about the 180day uh well about the reserve policy with the 121 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:53,279 180day um requirement in that policy. Um back in March, I had presented a risk 122 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:58,560 analysis um study that was done in accord in coordination with the GFOA 123 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:05,440 best practice on that. And at that time, the risk analysis yielded that um an 124 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:10,640 appropriate level of reserves would be between 60 and 100 I mean 90 and 120 125 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:16,160 days or 26 to 35% of your operating budget. Um, I have put a little chart in 126 00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:21,040 there in the agenda form so you could see like with this upcoming budget 127 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:27,760 approval what those dollar amounts would be at 90 days, 120 days, 180 days. Um, 128 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:31,760 and what you'll see is the two lines that are highlighted in the same color 129 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:38,320 as the column for the committed and then the unassigned reserve. Obviously, as 130 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:43,040 you go from 90, you have more less committed but more unassigned. And then 131 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:49,120 the trend will just continue as you add more days to um increase your committed 132 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:54,160 and reduce your um unassigned. >> Can we can we get that up on on the 133 00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:57,160 screen, Kirby? >> Yes. 134 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:05,399 » It's on PDF six, I believe. 135 00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:22,079 And just a little background. So GFOA's best practice suggests just as a minimum 136 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:25,839 cities should have 60 days. Um but they do recognize that every city is unique 137 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:31,839 and there's different risk profiles for every city. Um we are very commercially 138 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:36,000 um sales tax revenue based. So that's our biggest volatility. Um, so when you 139 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:41,279 looked at the study, it showed you kind of some of the rain events we've I mean 140 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,880 serious weather events we've had, how that's affect our sales tax. I I focused 141 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,560 a lot more on sales tax and that risk assessment because that is our bread and 142 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:54,720 butter. So um as you see on the screen um the 143 00:12:52,079 --> 00:13:01,760 green column is 90, the yellow is 120 and then the orange um is 180. Um so 144 00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:06,880 with the if we approve the 2627 budget as presented in the agenda um the 145 00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:15,360 committ reserve for 90 days would be about 3.4 million 180 I mean 120 days 146 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:20,639 would be 4.5 and 180 would be 6.8 eight. And to con to answer the question that 147 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:28,560 was asked during the assistance forum, I had brought this um to fund the 2526 148 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:34,000 budget at the I believe it was December 10th meeting. Um at that time, council 149 00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:40,079 wanted to explore if 180 days was necessary. So, we deferred and tabled 150 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:44,000 that vote um to do to give me some time to look at that study, talk to GFOA, 151 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:48,720 talk to our auditors, kind of establish a good policy going forward. Um I 152 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:53,360 presented everything in March and then at that point we decided let's table it 153 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:57,680 until the workshop and then we kind of had a more discussion at workshop and 154 00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:04,160 this is why it's here today. So, the amount that would have been required for 155 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:09,440 the 25 26 year was about 6.2 2. Um, and it's about 276,000 that would have been 156 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:14,959 added to that 180 reserve balance of 5.9. Um, but if you look at our monthly 157 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:19,519 report, our committed reserve balance of 180 is that 5.9, but then on my 158 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:24,320 unassigned, I have 3 million. So, we're even though it's hasn't been committed 159 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,800 by vote, we have that coverage if that makes sense. 160 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,560 So, so the to answer the specific question that was asked before about the 161 00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:38,480 » we just never formally voted. So, I did not assign those funds because we wanted 162 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:44,000 to do more research before we actually made a commitment into the 100 for the 163 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:49,040 180day replenishment. >> Okay. But with our unassigned available 164 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:54,959 cash that we have of 3 million on top of what we have committed as that 5.9 which 165 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:59,760 was the 20 425 180 reserve we're still within policy. 166 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:06,360 It just wasn't formally committed into that bucket if that makes sense. 167 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,360 » Okay. Okay. 168 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:13,120 » So I know uh Mr. Robinson, Council Member Robinson was um he kind of 169 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:21,440 spearheaded this conversation and discussion. Um so I don't know if 170 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:26,560 there's um any um opinion from anyone else if we want to look at 120 days 171 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:30,880 versus 180 or if we want to look at 90. Um 172 00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:37,120 » where did uh as far as having discussion with our auditors and uh where did they 173 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,959 fall on this as far as risk assessment? So if you look in the actual audit 174 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:47,680 report, I believe it's in the management uh the MDA section of it um they re they 175 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:53,199 just kind of say hey GFA recommends this minimum of 60 days and Lewis our um 176 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:57,759 senior um management partner on our audit. Um he does a good job every year 177 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:04,800 during the presentation explaining you guys are well above you're healthy. Um, 178 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:10,399 so 180 is a very, we're overshooting, you know, to accomplish [clears throat] 179 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:15,120 above and beyond. Um, but he, you know, so he does a good job explaining that 180 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:19,040 we're good. Um, but we could do the GFA minimum of 60 if that, that's what they 181 00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:23,120 base their risk assess assessment on when they look at cities. 182 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,759 » Before we go into more discussion, let's let's 183 00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:29,360 make a motion >> and then and then discuss the the motion 184 00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:36,240 that's made. Well, I I'd as far as choosing what uh 185 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:40,639 for the general fund reserve, I would uh like to make a motion to accept 120 186 00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:45,040 days. >> And I second. 187 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:48,040 » Okay, we have a motion by Councilman Slain 188 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,399 for 120day reserve seconded by Councilman Pollen. All right, 189 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,560 discussion. Let's continue the discussion here. 190 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:10,000 » Any comments >> to um just as far as uh some of the 191 00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:18,319 obvious is and what would what's uh is going to be the difference uh currently 192 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:23,079 if we uh go ahead and approve the 120 days. What um 193 00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:31,679 how much is I guess the difference of what we have? So, um, what's currently 194 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:35,679 allocated, that 5.9 million, you would put back 1.4 back into your unassigned 195 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,160 fund balance. >> Okay. 196 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,160 » Mhm. 197 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:49,840 » Well, I would not be in favor of going any lower than 120 at all. In fact, I' 198 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,160 I'd like to take maybe 30 days off of it or whatever, but the motion is what it 199 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,080 is. >> Okay. 200 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,360 » It's just a discussion. >> Yeah. I was just keep it in increments 201 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:01,039 of the same. understand and I'm just just where I'm at. I yeah, 202 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:06,400 » you know, um >> we tend to use available cash in my 203 00:18:03,919 --> 00:18:12,480 opinion a little too freely around here to to approve the budget sometimes and 204 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:19,039 and uh pay parody stuff that's like that and sometimes you have to. Okay. Um but 205 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:22,880 as a policy going forward, that's just my opinion. 206 00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:28,640 » So um we typically use the unassigned fund balance for capital contri 207 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:32,400 contributions and capital projects. Um, and you'll see that kind of on that 208 00:18:29,919 --> 00:18:36,880 summary sheet on each of the um, major funds have a summary and I kind of show 209 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:41,760 how that all works out. Um, because technically you don't really want to if 210 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:48,400 we had to match our income and revenues for capital that was needed, your your 211 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:54,000 tax rate would be astronomical. Um, so that's why with like interest earnings 212 00:18:51,679 --> 00:19:00,240 and other we've we've had some land sales that always contributes back into 213 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:06,400 your um general fund balance. Um, and we're pretty aggressive with some of our 214 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:09,520 um interest revenue. Um, so >> that's what we typically try to do is 215 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,360 use available cash just for those one-time non-recurring items which are 216 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:18,799 going to be your capital projects and capital asset purchase contributions. 217 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:23,679 So, >> and special projects like things that 218 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:28,240 would not reoccur year after year >> even though the auditors say 30 for 35 219 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,240 days is adequate. I don't think that at all. You know, 220 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,240 » I think for just >> Yeah. And we saw that with that reserve 221 00:19:31,919 --> 00:19:40,240 analysis. We saw with our industry I mean our profile that would not be the 222 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:44,480 best policy. I believe I think the 120s you know it's fine. We've seen, you 223 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:48,480 know, um, even during major storm events, Barrel, Harvey, when we didn't 224 00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:53,440 have any business going on for a week, we still rebounded pretty well. Um, even 225 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:58,160 during COVID, we didn't have a huge we we did not meet our sales tax revenue 226 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:02,240 target, but we were only short, I believe, about 500,000, which is pretty 227 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,919 good. >> And we and our expenditures had reduced, 228 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,640 so we were and we had a lot more build and permit revenue that we did not 229 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:11,520 anticipate. So, it helped offset everything 230 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,520 » that year. So, 231 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:23,320 » any additional discussion on this? >> 120 is the sweet spot. 232 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:30,080 All right. If there's no further discussion, 233 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:37,120 uh let's put it to a vote. The motion is uh 234 00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:40,720 to lower it to 120 uh by Council Summerland and seconded by Councilman 235 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,400 Pard. All in favor say I. >> I. 236 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:47,960 » I. >> Opposed. 237 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,960 Motion carries. 238 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:57,360 » All right. Item number eight, final report and 239 00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:02,760 public hearing regarding the 2026 2027 fiscal year operating and capital 240 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,760 budget. 241 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:09,280 So, I'm going to provide a final report just prior to the public hearing to open 242 00:21:07,679 --> 00:21:14,880 in on this agenda item. Sure. >> So, um the the proposed budget that's 243 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:18,400 proposed in this agenda packet um does include the pay parody that was 244 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:26,480 presented at the council workshop >> um and also includes um the 1849 no new 245 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:32,640 revenue rate. um we were able to um find some um salary publishing um corrections 246 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:38,320 and we can balance the budget with the NNR. So um that is the budget that's 247 00:21:36,159 --> 00:21:41,679 presented in front of you today. The other minor changes um that were 248 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:46,000 proposed during budget workshop just for transparency. Um not much in the general 249 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,679 fund other than police pay parity year two which was significantly scaled back 250 00:21:47,919 --> 00:21:56,480 from the original presentation we did last year um based on kind of what we 251 00:21:52,240 --> 00:22:01,919 were looking at. Um the CBB fund which is our other major fund. We did add that 252 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:06,000 requested staff position for a potential sales position. So, that's added in 253 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:12,159 there as well as conferences for the newly created tourism advisory board. 254 00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:17,120 And um there's some projects for a potential CVB center buildout as well. 255 00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:23,039 Um and then in water sewer, the main changes there were the staff requested 256 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:28,480 um additional operator position for the water plants and uh wells. And then 257 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:32,640 other than that, there wasn't a whole lot of change. Um and then all the 258 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:37,440 capital as well. that was discussed. 259 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:44,919 » All right. Okay. We're going to open up the public 260 00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:44,919 hearing on this item at uh 6:23. 261 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:55,080 Is there anyone here uh who would like to make a comment on this uh agenda 262 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,080 item? 263 00:22:57,919 --> 00:23:09,559 Okay. Nobody is here to speak on this agenda item. So, we're going to 264 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:09,559 close the public hearing at 6:24. 265 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,360 Item number nine, discussion and possible action to adopt the following 266 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:23,360 ordinance. An ordinance of the city of Shannidoa, Texas, adopting an 267 00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:28,120 operational capital budget for the fiscal year 2026 2027. 268 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,120 I get a motion. 269 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:46,720 » Now, what what uh the proposed it was the the one that was published? 270 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:50,400 » Yes. The one that's online that's in this that's linked in this agenda pack. 271 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,280 It has the 1849 and then the pay parity included into it and all the capital 272 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:59,120 allocated. >> Okay. 273 00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:02,240 » Mhm. So that that particular uh Okay. All right. Do I can I get a 274 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,280 motion? >> So moved, Mr. Mayor, to approve. 275 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:11,919 » Second. >> Well, a motion to approve by uh Prom 276 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:21,200 Brought, seconded by Councilman Pard. Discussion 277 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:23,440 » uh on the uh the new NNR and I'm still learning all of this. the 278 00:24:23,286 --> 00:24:29,600 [clears throat] >> can we one of my biggest worries came up 279 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:35,039 um in the discussion 280 00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:42,320 or the consideration of this when I was doing research and the one of the 281 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:48,880 greatest fears or wakeup calls I got was getting on council and realizing how 282 00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:52,640 many trips uh I've made to Austin in the first year and how things that they do 283 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,600 affect does. >> Yes. 284 00:24:53,120 --> 00:25:04,080 » And um in this particular uh setting as a 285 00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:10,720 business owner, what the the HB9 >> uh that was implemented uh from the 286 00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:15,440 state uh was fantastic for business owners. 287 00:25:11,679 --> 00:25:18,559 » Uh it did uh introduce uh some variances in our tax 288 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,520 » Yes. >> base. So can you elaborate on that? 289 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:29,279 » Yes. So, um, House Bill 9 was approved in the last legislation, the 89th. Um, 290 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:36,240 and it basically raises the BI per business personal property, it's like a 291 00:25:32,159 --> 00:25:41,279 tongue twister, um, tax exemption from 2500 to 125,000. There was also some 292 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,960 other little rules in there change that, >> you know, you can use multiple 293 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:48,400 locations, get are treated individually, stuff like that. So, it helps out 294 00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:53,120 business owners. It's great for small businesses, but it also can be used by 295 00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:56,960 corporations as well. Um, so they can basically what um business personal 296 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,880 property is, it's basically equipment and inventory. That's the easiest way to 297 00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:05,440 explain it. Um, so inventory they hold on hand, they're supposed to pay 298 00:26:02,159 --> 00:26:09,360 property tax on and also inventory. Um, I mean inventory and equipment. So 299 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:14,640 fixtures, everything. It's all kind of considered into that. Um so that house 300 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:19,279 bill got approved in the 89th and then went to the November election because it 301 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:23,520 was a constitutional amendment. Um it was voted in by the voters whoever voted 302 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:27,919 in that election. Um and then it went into effect January 1 of this year. So 303 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:33,840 what that does is that it increases basically what businesses can now exempt 304 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:39,200 from their property tax bill. Um so our hit as a city was about 33 million from 305 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:44,720 our total valuation. um which equates to about 30,000 of revenue that we would 306 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:48,080 have brought in this year. So when the tax assessor takes that off, when you 307 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:52,080 look at the worksheet, she has to take that off as a loss to the city um from 308 00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:58,960 last year. So it brought down our appraisal value, you know, our net down. 309 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:02,799 So what tax rate law says is that your no new revenue rate has to bring in the 310 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:06,080 same revenue that you brought in last year. M 311 00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:10,640 » so when you take out some valuation unfortunately to make it up the tax rate 312 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:16,320 does have to add some to it and cuz typically you'll see the tax rate go 313 00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:20,880 down like so we had 1821 so I was I thought we were our N&R was going to be 314 00:27:17,679 --> 00:27:24,880 closer to like 1818 you know I was I was already preparing for that 315 00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:30,400 » um but because of that house bill loss it didn't put the NNR to 1849 also when 316 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:36,480 they calculate the no new no new revenue rate the NNR it doesn't take in new 317 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:41,520 improvement. So, um, whatever was on the books as of January 1 last year, that's 318 00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:44,960 what's using that calculation. Um, and it accounts for, you know, some 319 00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:51,520 increases to the those existing properties. Um, but like, um, wood loss 320 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:56,799 might be a good one. They probably they're not all shelled out yet, so they 321 00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:00,640 weren't on that calculation, do you? So yeah, we have some new property that 322 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,520 hasn't caught up in time as well because it's as of what the property is as of 323 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:07,039 January 1. >> Um so we're kind of in a weird little 324 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,480 limbo period, but next year it should start balancing back out because you now 325 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:16,399 have a new benchmark. >> And that increase was what over 40,000%. 326 00:28:13,919 --> 00:28:23,039 Oh, it was like 4,000% or something from the So, and historically that the 327 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:27,679 original um um exemption was $500 and that was introduced in 1996 328 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:33,039 » and then in 2022 they amended it to be 2500. And so from just four years it 329 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,720 went up like 4,000%. >> It's crazy. 330 00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:39,919 And and the hit that again the hit that the city took on on that revenue is was 331 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,240 what? >> It it would equate out to be about 332 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,919 30,000 >> about 30,000. 333 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:49,679 » Okay. >> With the tax rate.

Uh item number 10, discussion regarding the proposed 350 00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:07,520 advalorum advalorum rate. >> Hearing council, we kind of touched most 351 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,840 of the the high points in the last agenda item, but um 352 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:15,840 » that's why I jumped. >> Yeah. Per truth and taxation laws. I do 353 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:21,120 because we had set the proposed rate at 1911, I had to put that in the agenda 354 00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:28,320 pack as 1911 even though we were able to balance the budget at the new the NNR 355 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:34,240 rate of 1849. So, um, I've taped on your monitor. So, the new, um, if you want 356 00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:40,399 to, um, approve the but I mean improve the tax rate at 1849, the debt service 357 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:46,399 rate would stay the same at 102 per 100, but the M, the maintenance operation 358 00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:53,080 would go to 0.0847. So, that would be the only change when 359 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,080 we do the vote. 360 00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:09,440 Okay. Any any discussion about this? >> Um the difference as far as uh impact to 361 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:13,600 the citizens property. Um what is that considered on the homesteads? 362 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:17,279 » So when I I kind of looked at the average homestead value for um our 363 00:31:15,919 --> 00:31:20,880 biggest neighborhood is the valley obviously they're I think they have 364 00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:26,080 about 510 homes. Um they're the largest by far. So, I kind of used them as my um 365 00:31:24,159 --> 00:31:31,440 and they when I did the rate differential, it was about $8 for the 366 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:34,640 whole year between what they would pay at the 1821 with the instead of the 367 00:31:33,679 --> 00:31:39,360 1849. >> Okay. 368 00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:43,120 » Cuz it's the increase is only 0.0028. It's it's less than a penny per 100. 369 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,760 » Got it. >> Yeah. 370 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,559 » And that's what the average >> for more like the valley. Obviously, 371 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:54,240 some of the other neighborhoods like Park 8, they're larger homes. They have 372 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:58,240 higher valuation. So, you would just have to equate whatever that percentage 373 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,760 increase was across kind of, >> right? 374 00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:07,840 » So, the Valley uh resident would probably get about $8 a year, 375 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:14,279 » and that's a new quick rough estimate, but that's about what it looked like 376 00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:14,279 when I did it. Yeah. Per year. 377 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:20,720 » All right. with the difference if we went with the 378 00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:25,240 if we remained with 1821 or if we went with 1849. 379 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,240 » Yeah. 380 00:32:26,399 --> 00:32:29,880 » Any more discussion? 381 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:37,200 » Uh if not >> Oh, also let me just um so if we go with 382 00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:42,080 NR, we don't have to say that lovely statement that is in that bold on those 383 00:32:39,919 --> 00:32:46,000 next agenda items that if you go above the N&R, you have to say that says it's 384 00:32:44,159 --> 00:32:47,600 an effective tax increase.

And we were able to look at this budget and 490 00:41:53,599 --> 00:42:00,240 I mean look at this agreement and make a few changes to it. And one of the 491 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:08,880 changes that we were able to negotiate with CISD was um use of the parking lot 492 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:13,680 for events for the CVB to host possible events throughout the year. So we don't 493 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:18,640 know what those events are yet, but uh it just this does open up the 494 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:24,160 opportunity to coordinate uh with CISD to use the parking lot for uh festivals 495 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:28,319 or whatever event we would uh want to coordinate with the uh school district. 496 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:32,240 Now, we do have to coordinate with the school district to make sure it does not 497 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:36,640 conflict with any of the uh school programming that goes along there, but 498 00:42:33,839 --> 00:42:39,920 this is a good first step and uh and building that partnership and 499 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:45,839 relationship.

So, it's probably a good idea right now. 506 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:22,800 » Yeah. I'm sorry. >> It's a very positive step for the city 507 00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:27,440 of Shannondoa. uh getting a a closer relationship which this brings us a lot 508 00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:32,000 closer than we've ever been with CISD with the superintendent the new 509 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:36,240 superintendent that uh really uh appears to like and and support the city of 510 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:41,520 Shannondoa. This is a really positive step. I think it's just like a small 511 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:48,240 step. I'm hoping that next year we will even expand this contract to be even 512 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:52,640 much more uh uh um more of a promotional thing for our city. It's really good for 513 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,640 the city. 514 00:43:52,720 --> 00:44:00,800 on the um as far as a due diligence thing on this the I noticed that I guess 515 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:06,560 it's a automatic reup on this as stated in the agreement. 516 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:13,520 » Absolutely. >> Okay. And I guess my question is before 517 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:18,319 that actually goes into effect. Um just to it already sounds like well you've 518 00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:22,640 already considered some different things that it's going to be a tremendous 519 00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:28,400 benefit to the city and being able to do some things there. Uh but to have us uh 520 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:35,280 near this time of year when before it gets renewed is to come back and uh 521 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:39,599 present to the city uh different things that occurred for the city and the in 522 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:46,240 showing the benefit uh attaching that value. But I think it's a great idea. 523 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:51,760 » Can I get a motion? >> Make a motion. Oh, he does. All right, 524 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:55,280 we have a motion uh to approve by Councilman Srell 525 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:59,880 » and seconded >> and seconded by 526 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,880 » Syn. 527 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,880 You're going to have to change your name. 528 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:09,359 » Yeah, you're unlucky. [laughter] It's too late. 529 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:13,240 » One of them talkers. >> Oh yeah, [laughter] that's right. 530 00:45:15,839 --> 00:45:21,280 » Okay. >> All right. Any additional discussion? I 531 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:26,560 think this is a great idea. I think uh it's a change from from the last couple 532 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:32,400 of years. It's a it's a breath of fresh air to have this uh this agreement with 533 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:36,000 CISD. Um all right. All in favor say I. 534 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:42,160 » I. I. >> Opposed? Motion carries. 535 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:46,160 Item 17, discussion and possible action regarding the updated water conservation 536 00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:50,560 plan. >> Mayor and council, this is the new water 537 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:56,240 conservation plan for the city. We need to update this to the Texas Water 538 00:45:52,960 --> 00:46:00,079 Development Board every 5 years. Um, basically the the plan is a description 539 00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:04,960 of our wastewater treatment plan and water system for the city. Changes every 540 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:10,960 year for new water plants, new additions to our system. So, it needs to be 541 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:15,920 updated. uh that helps would also part of the plan is also helps public 542 00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:22,000 education as well accountability for the city on our goals and targets and also 543 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:28,079 provides them with a schedule on those goals. Um and the most important u 544 00:46:25,747 --> 00:46:33,440 [clears throat] part of this uh plan, it helps the city be eligible for loans and 545 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:37,440 grants in the future. Um, thanks to this conservation plan, we were able to get 546 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:41,760 the loan for the wastewater treatment plan, for example. So, it's critical 547 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:45,599 that we approve this plan right now. >> Okay. 548 00:46:44,079 --> 00:46:49,680 Can I get a motion? >> So moved. 549 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,760 » A motion to approve by Councilman Summerland. 550 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:56,440 » Second, >> and seconded by Council Sro. 551 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:03,200 Any additional discussion? If not, all in favor say I. 552 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,960 » I. >> I. 553 00:47:03,839 --> 00:47:09,280 » Opposed. >> Motion carries. 554 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:12,720 » Item 18, discussion of possible action regarding members of the impact fee 555 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:18,480 committee. >> Mayor [clears throat] and council. Uh, 556 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:23,119 in October of 2020, the city adopted its first impact fee. And uh, some of you 557 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:27,920 were on council, some weren't. So, I'll go over a really quick history of of 558 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:32,720 what impact fees are about uh, before I go into this item. 559 00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:37,920 So impact fees are specific to our enterprise fund. That's our water and 560 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:44,160 sewer. And what they essentially do is they are a fee for new development that 561 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:50,800 comes into the city. And it basically lets the city collect right up front 562 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:55,520 some of the impacts, the cost of those impacts that new development is going to 563 00:47:52,720 --> 00:48:00,560 have on our water system and our sewer system. Now, this kind of spreads that 564 00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:04,400 cost out because just adding one business doesn't necessarily mean you 565 00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:09,119 need to upsize your lift station, but you get two or three on that same run. 566 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:13,280 Now, you need to do an upsizing. Well, this allows the city to collect money 567 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:17,839 from those who are impacting the system and causing those capital projects so 568 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:24,000 that as they come about, you can afford to pay for them. And that keeps the cost 569 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:29,920 from away from your current customers and they're not paying for the expansion 570 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:33,920 of of the new guy as it were. So impact fees are very important to the city. 571 00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:39,040 They help us save a significant amount of money. 572 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:44,319 Now in the end of 2025, the state changed some of the rules 573 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:49,200 surrounding the collection of impact fees. 574 00:48:45,839 --> 00:48:54,800 In the past, uh there was a requirement for a committee to review two things on 575 00:48:52,480 --> 00:49:00,640 the impact fee study. That's the land use assumptions. Basically, what do we 576 00:48:57,599 --> 00:49:06,079 think our raw land is going to turn into and our capital improvement plan for 577 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:10,240 water and sewer projects. Now, in the past, the planning and zoning commission 578 00:49:07,839 --> 00:49:16,240 could act as that committee. That's not allowed anymore. So staff needed to 579 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:20,800 organize a new committee so that this new committee which has a representative 580 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:26,559 body of those affected by impact fees can have say in the the land use 581 00:49:24,079 --> 00:49:31,520 assumptions and then second the capital improvement plan. 582 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:35,680 So staff has reached out to five individuals 583 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:40,800 uh and those five people and some of them are here today uh have graciously 584 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:46,960 volunteered uh to spend their time reviewing these two items and making 585 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:52,800 either a recommendation to keep things as they are as far as our land use 586 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:58,079 assumptions or maybe there's been some changes and there's a recommended change 587 00:49:54,720 --> 00:50:04,720 that would come back to city council. So the group that has collected meets 588 00:50:01,599 --> 00:50:11,359 all of the requirements by the state and I'm going to go ahead and name the 589 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:16,720 five individuals here off of the agenda. So these are the individuals willing to 590 00:50:13,359 --> 00:50:24,240 serve. Uh first is Alex Warmath who's here today. U Bill Smith, Jennifer 591 00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:32,160 Breedlove, Juan Pablo PZ who's here as well and Patricia Bell. most people know 592 00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:36,400 as Pat and she's here as well. Um so their their goal is the same. It hasn't 593 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:40,960 changed as when planning and zoning did this. Um they have the same goal. Um but 594 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:48,079 they're going to help represent the people who are in ETJ in new development 595 00:50:44,559 --> 00:50:54,000 and those who are in real estate uh as well as some some residents. So staff's 596 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:58,880 recommendation is to pro is to approve the presented committee members uh to 597 00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:02,200 replace the existing use of the planning zoning commission. 598 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:12,800 » Thank you. Make a motion to approve >> five of these people. 599 00:51:09,359 --> 00:51:20,400 We have a motion to approve uh sec uh by counciloman, seconded by prom brought 600 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:26,720 » to to approve the uh the members as stated for the uh impact fee committee. 601 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:30,480 Any discussion? >> Just excited. 602 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:33,119 » I keep talking over >> that's okay. You're 603 00:51:32,945 --> 00:51:38,880 [clears throat] >> didn't uh didn't this uh process 604 00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:45,200 originate from the guy that presented it here. So, 605 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:50,480 » yes, this is something I learned about um five almost six years ago at a a TML 606 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,880 conference and thought this would be a huge huge benefit for the city of 607 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,720 Shannidoa. >> Yeah. Thanks for bringing that back from 608 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,720 a TML conference. >> Absolutely. 609 00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:05,440 » Any more comments? >> If not, all in favor say I. I. 610 00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:10,160 » I. >> Opposed? 611 00:52:07,839 --> 00:52:17,359 Motion carries. Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you for volunteering your time 612 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:21,440 and welcome to Shannondoa committees. 613 00:52:19,119 --> 00:52:24,559 Part of part of the works of Shannondoa city. 614 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:28,400 » The family. There you go. Welcome to the Shannondoa family. All right. 615 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:32,319 » Thank you. >> All right. Item number 19, city club 616 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:37,520 updates. >> Good evening, mayor and council. Uh, 617 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:41,359 first of all, thank you for doing all the updates to the bylaws. We very much 618 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:45,051 appreciate not having any hassles with our hamburgers and hot dogs. [laughter] 619 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:53,760 It's amazing. Plus, I I like I don't have enough time to do another like to 620 00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:59,440 like to type training to go with it. So, anyways, on to the fun. Uh, so our first 621 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:04,240 event coming up is going to be on October the 5th. It's actually not our 622 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:08,640 event per se. just be there for National Night Out hosted by our Shannidoa police 623 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:17,119 at the uh city park. We'll have a booth there and um supporting them as always. 624 00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:21,040 Uh the it's actually the I guess the week and a half later. Uh we have two 625 00:53:19,359 --> 00:53:26,240 events again because we didn't have enough stuff to do on a October 17th in 626 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:31,520 the middle of the fall. Uh so the first one is we have our fall uh garage sale 627 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:35,920 that'll be happening on October 17th from 8 in the morning until 12. We'll be 628 00:53:34,079 --> 00:53:40,559 putting the signs out uh that night before. Uh we'll be I'll be getting with 629 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:44,640 Kirby to get the signups uh set up. So people should be able to start signing 630 00:53:41,839 --> 00:53:49,599 up here uh the first part of September uh for that. And that just helps for the 631 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:53,599 people that are participating uh to have signage on the ends of the streets to 632 00:53:51,839 --> 00:53:58,960 know where for as people come into the area that they can uh know where they 633 00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:03,920 can go to for great sales.

So it is an 635 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:14,400 hour earlier than last year. Uh but that is hopefully to give everybody a little 636 00:54:11,839 --> 00:54:20,160 more uh daylight time uh during the activity. Uh and so that'll also be at 637 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:25,040 the city park as well. Uh and then I will invite folks, our next meeting is 638 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:30,400 September the 8th.

Um got the latest this afternoon actually from the project 689 00:58:37,119 --> 00:58:42,799 manager. They're still looking to finish by the end of October. That's what 690 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:47,200 they're telling me on on the elevator storage tank. Um, 691 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:52,160 uh, obviously it can change with weather delays, but that's what they're shooting 692 00:58:48,559 --> 00:58:55,920 for.

Uh, speaking of good work, I'd like to commend the the 698 00:59:12,799 --> 00:59:20,960 staff uh for tightening up your expenses uh especially the police department. Uh, 699 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:27,280 you really tightened expenses a lot to uh to accomplish what we need to do, but 700 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:31,280 still not cut to the bone to where it hurts the city and the department. But 701 00:59:29,359 --> 00:59:36,480 all departments did do that. all departments uh took a fine tooth comb 702 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:41,359 through the budgets to to hold expenses down and is very much appreciated by the 703 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:46,319 C city. What's important about that is that we're able to do it and still be 704 00:59:44,079 --> 00:59:51,520 able to give the premium services that Shannondoa is known for. We're a premium 705 00:59:48,559 --> 00:59:55,760 city. We do premium things for our citizens, our residents, and for the 706 00:59:53,359 --> 01:00:00,319 community. And uh this budget allows us to do it. But all of y'all worked hard 707 00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:06,160 on it. uh and it's very much appreciated by everybody. Um 708 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:13,680 the last thing that I had is really it's a call out to uh a couple of people uh 709 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:20,240 that are in this room. One is Courtney uh who designed or came up with an idea 710 01:00:16,559 --> 01:00:26,400 a couple of years ago of having a cartoon character or a fun person uh uh 711 01:00:24,799 --> 01:00:32,960 that would go around and promote our city perhaps in in a uniform or a 712 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:37,440 costume or whatever. And uh she got together with some other creative people 713 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:42,720 here. Lisa who just left uh had a lot of input into it but but primarily the 714 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:49,599 driver behind what we're seeing now in the promotion of our city is uh Piney 715 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:58,400 the of Piney the pine tree is is uh Kirby Kirby uh is really great with AI 716 01:00:55,440 --> 01:01:04,160 and she's put together flyers she's put together promotions online uh she's in 717 01:01:01,839 --> 01:01:07,599 our newsletters she's doing a lot of things to promote ote our city to make 718 01:01:05,839 --> 01:01:12,559 to to break down the things that we're doing in simple form so that everyone 719 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:19,200 can understand and see what all the city is doing. It's just incredible uh amount 720 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:23,119 of of beautiful work. Um I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of Piney 721 01:01:20,559 --> 01:01:26,720 the Piney the pine tree in the future. You I think you've seen it the last two 722 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:30,960 months and it's going to grow even more. But uh all all three of you ladies, 723 01:01:29,119 --> 01:01:35,040 thank you very very much for your hard work on that. the city needed something 724 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:41,280 like this and it's it's making it real fun. Thank you very much. 725 01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:46,960 » Yes, it's inde Thank you. KBY, can you leave that up for just for one second? 726 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:51,200 Yeah, that's an example there for for those [clears throat] here here at uh at 727 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:57,520 the council and those who are watching on YouTube of what uh what Councilman 728 01:01:54,400 --> 01:02:02,079 Pard is talking about simplifying understanding how the city works. In 729 01:02:00,079 --> 01:02:07,839 this case, uh what we see here is the the budget, how the budget breaks down 730 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:12,160 for every every resident. Uh and I think I agree with you. This is a great idea 731 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:16,240 that provided in, you know, vital information for people who un to 732 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:21,280 understand what it is that we're discussing here where we meet, you know, 733 01:02:18,079 --> 01:02:28,960 twice a month.
