COUNCILMEMBER BRITTON. >> AND, JANET TUCKER, CAN YOU COME UP. IS THIS YOUR ENTIRE

TEAM? >> AWESOME. >> IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO MAKE THIS PROCLAMATION, IN 1994, THE NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION DEDICATED SEPTEMBER AS FOOD SAFETY EDUCATION MONTH. ROWLETT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH TEAM IS A TEAM THAT'S REALLY COMMITTED TO PROTECTING THE PUBLIC HEALTH BY DILIGENTLY ENSURING FOOD SAFETY, NOT ONLY IN ROWLETT'S FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS, BUT ALSO AT EVENTS WHERE FOOD IS SERVED TO THE PUBLIC. THE CITY'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS ARE HIGHLY VISIBLE IN OUR FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS AND RESPONSIBLE FOR FOOD SAFETY COMPLIANCE BY FOSTERING MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE ESTABLISHMENTS. SO, IF YOU BEAR WITH ME, I'LL READ THE PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS THE CITY OF ROWLETT WANTS TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS AND THE LOCAL FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS WORK FORCE AND BRING AWARENESS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF FOOD SAFETY PRACTICES TO THE COMMUNITY.

[5B. Presentation of proclamation recognizing September as Library Card Sign-Up Month]

[00:05:05]

>> . >> MAYOR MARGOLIS: THANK YOU, VERY MUCH. OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS ITEM 5 B, PRESENTATION OF PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZES SEPTEMBER AS LIBRARY CARD SIGN-UP MONTH AND MAKING THAT PRESENTATION IS COUNCILMEMBER BELL.

>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. DON'T THEY LOOK SO GOOD. I'M SO HAPPY ALL OF THEM ARE HERE.

BECAUSE, I'M THE LIAISON TO THE LIBRARY BOARD. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION ON WHEN THIS STARTED. THIS IS I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, AND WHAT REALLY GOT MY ATTENTION TO THIS WAS THAT THE PART WITH THE LIBRARY CARD, THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SCHOOL SUPPLY ITEM A CHILD CAN HAVE. AND I'VE DONE A LOT OF READING ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AND IT SAYS THAT IF YOU GIVE A A CHILD A BOOK, YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED WHAT THEY COULD EXPLORE AND WHAT THEY WILL ACCOUNT FOR. AND, I BELIEVE THAT 100%. TAKE THE TIME TO TAKE YOUR CHILD TO THE LIBRARY, GET THEM A LIBRARY CARD. THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THEIR FUTURE.

BUT, I'LL READ YOU JUST A LITTLE EXCERPT HERE. OKAY. IN 1987, THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, TEAMED UP WITH THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON LIBRARIES AND INFORMATION SCIENCE TO START A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF LIBRARY CARDS. TO A CHILD'S EDUCATION AND TO COMBAT ILLITERACY. SINCE THEN, THOUSANDS OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND SCHOOLS HAVE PARTICIPATED EVERY FALL STRESSING THE IMPORTANCE OF OBTAINING A LIBRARY CARD AS A CHILD'S MOST IMPORTANT SCHOOL SUPPLY. EACH PAENT WANTS EXCUSE ME, EACH PARENT WANTS THEIR CHILD TO SUCCEED, AND STUDIES SHOW IS THAT CHILDREN WHO ARE READ TO REMEMBER, REMEMBER, I SAID, READ TO, WHEN THEY'RE SMALL, READ TO THEM. IN THE HOME AND WHO USES THE LIBRARY PERFORM BETTER IN SCHOOL. LIBRARIES PROVIDE A WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE WHERE STUDENTS WITH EXPLORE, DISCOVER AND CREATE. IT'S WHERE THEY CAN GET HOMEWORK, THEY CAN DO THEIR HOMEWORK, THEY CAN GET HELP WITH THEIR HOMEWORK, PARTICIPATE IN A BOOK CLUB, OR MAKE FREE USE OF THE LIBRARY WI-FI. WITH A LIBRARY CARD, KIDS CAN CHECK OUT GRAPHIC NOVELS, DOWNLOAD AN E-BOOK, UTILIZE ONLINE TUTORING, AND USE A COMPUTER TO FINISH A SCHOOL PROJECT OR TO GET READY FOR COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS BY USING THE STUDY GUIDES ON OR ONLINE PRACTICE TESTS. SO, THAT'S SOME ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A LIBRARY CARD. OKAY. I'M GOING TO READ THE PROCLAMATION HERE.

>> WHEREAS, LIBRARIES PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN THE EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN, AND WHEREAS LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES SERVE A BROAD RANGE OF NEEDS FROM GETTING CHILDREN READY TO READ AND SCHOOL PREPAREDNESS TO HOMEWORK HELP. AND BUILDING RESEARCH SKILLS TO GED CLASSES AND JOB SEARCH ASSISTANCE. AND WHEREAS LIBRARIANS OFFER DIGITAL AND TRADITIONAL LITERACY TRAINING TO HELP STUDENTS AND PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. AND WHEREAS LIBRARIES CONTINUE TO TRANSFORM AND EXPAND THEIR SERVICES IN WAYS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE AND, WHEREAS A FREE LIBRARY CARD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SCHOOL SUPPLY OF ALL.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT I BLAKE MARGOLIS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF ROWLETT, TEXAS DO

[00:10:07]

YOU. >> (APPLAUSE)

>> THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, IN HONOR OF LIBRARY CARD SIGN-UP MONTH, WE'RE HAVING PRIZE DRAWINGS, EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP FOR A CARD WILL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAWING. WE'LL HAVE THREE DRAWINGS FOR $20 GIFT CARDS FROM WAL-MART OR TARGET, AND NOT TO FORGET THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE A LIBRARY CARD, WE'LL HAVE A DRAWING FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO USE THE LIBRARY AND CHECK OUT MATERIALS FROM THE LIBRARY NEXT DOOR. AND DURING THE MONTH, IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE YOUR LIBRARY CARD, YOU CAN DO THAT FOR FREE, WE'LL WAIVE THE DOLLAR FEE FOR THAT IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. SO, COME ON DOWN AND ENJOY THE LIBRARY.

>> YEAH, YOU DO. >> GET IN THE MIDDLE. >> MAYOR MARGOLIS: ALL RIGHT, OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 5 D, UPDATE FROM CITY COUNCIL -- OOPS, SORRY, WENDY, YOU'RE FREE

[5C. Presentation of Comprehensive Monthly Financial Report (CMFR) for the period ending June 30, 2022.]

TO GO HOME. >> ITEM 5C, PRESENTATION OF MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE

PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2022. WENDY BAGGETTE. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

TONIGHT'S FINANCIAL REPORT PRESENTATION IS FOR THE PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2022, WHICH IS OUR THIRD QUARTER OF OUR FISCAL YEAR 2022. THIS REPORT WAS REVIEWED IN MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE DETAIL WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, BACK ON AUGUST 16TH. CAN YOU HEAR ME BETTER NOW?

OKAY. >> (INDISCERNIBLE)

>> IS IT ON? MAY BE IT'S NOT ON. IT'S ON? >> THIS ONE'S NOT WORKING UP HERE EITHER. IT'S NOT MOVING. ADVANCING. (INDISCERNIBLE)

>> DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? GO BACK TO OUR COVID DAYS? OKAY. OKAY.

(INDISCERNIBLE) >> YEAH? THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. OVERALL, THE CITY IS REPORTING REVENUES OF APPROXIMATELY $104 MILLION FOR THE THIRD QUARTER. THIS AMOUNT IS RIGHT AT 86% OF THE REVISED BUDGET AND EXCEEDS OUR FORECAST FOR THE QUARTER END BY 5%. YEAR

[00:15:02]

WATER REVENUES REPRESENT ALMOST 60% OF THE UTILITY REVENUE BUDGET AND COVER THE COST OF OUR WATER ACQUISITION FROM THE KNOT TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER FORECAST. WITH DFW REACHING THE 6TH HIGHEST JUNE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE ON RECORD GOING AS FAR BACK AS 1899, CONSECUTIVE 100-DEGREE DAYS AND BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION, JUNE'S WEATHER RESULTED IN INCREASE WATER USAGE BUILD AND REVENUE COLLECTED FOR THE MONTH OF JULY AND THAT REVERSED IT FOR OUR FOURTH QUARTER KICKING OFF. SEWER REVENUES REPRESENT FOREVER 40% OF THE UTILITY FUND REVENUE BUDGET AND COVER THE COST OF SEWER TREATMENT SERVICES THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE CITY OF GARLAND. YEAR TO DATE THROUGH JUNE, THE CITY'S STAYED AT FORECAST EARNING $10 MILLION IN REVENUE FEES. TAKING A LOOK AT OUR LARGEST OPERATING FUNDS, OVERALL, GENERAL FUND REVENUES WERE $2.8 MILLION ABOVE FORECAST FOR THE QUARTER END. THERE WERE THREE AREAS OF REVENUES THAT DEFINE THESE RESULTS. TWO OF WHICH I'VE NOTED WHICH ARE THE PROPERTY TAX REVENUES AND THE INCREASED SALES TAX REVENUES. THE THIRD ARE BUILDING FEES. GENERAL FUND EXPENSES WERE $760,000 BELOW FORECAST, OF THIS A, THE MAJORITY IS DUE TO TIMING AND A WIDE RANGE OF SUPPLY PURCHASES AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AS SOME ANNUAL CONTRACTS HAVE NOT YET COME DUE FOR PAYMENT. SOME CONTRACTS ARE SUMMER, SEASONABLE, SUCH AS OUR RECREATION CONTRACTS AND OUR MOWING AND SOME PLIES WHICH HAVE BEEN ORDERED BUT ARE IN DELAY DUE TO THE WORLD WIDE SHORTAGES.

SO, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THOSE AND MADE PAYMENTS ON THOSE YET. OVERALL, THE WATER AND SEWER REVENUES WERE $220,000 BELOW FORECAST, AS A RESULT OF HIGHER THAN USUAL RAINFALL, HOWEVER, AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED, WE'VE SEEN THESE REVENUES REBOUND IN JULY DUE TO JUNE BEING ONE OF THE HOTTEST JUNES ON RECORD IN NORTH TEXAS. EXPENSES IN THE WATER AND SEWER FUND WERE $896,000 BELOW FORECAST AS A RESULT OF PERSONNEL VACANCIES THROUGHOUT THE THREE QUARTERS, AND TIMING IN A WIDE RANGE OF SUPPLY, PURCHASE, AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DUE TO THE BACK ORDER OF SUPPLIES WHICH I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. TO FINISH OUT TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION, OTHER FISCAL YEAR YEAR 2022 BUDGETED FUNDS, THE DEBT SERVICE FUND, THE DRAINAGE FUND, THE REFUSE FUND, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND AND THE GOLF BE FUNDS ALL MET AND EXCEEDED THE REVENUES AND WERE IN THE FORECASTS EXPENSES THROUGHOUT THE QUARTER. OUR EMPLOYEE HEALTH BENEFITS FUND IS EXCEEDED EXPENSES BY 18% DUE TO UNUSUALLY HIGH HEALTH BENEFIT CLAIMS DURING THE FIRST AND THE THIRD QUARTERS OF THE FISCAL YEAR INCLUDING MULTIPLE SUBSTANTIAL CLAIMS WHICH WERE NOTED. STOP LOSS REIMBURSEMENTS FOR SOME OF THESE LARGE BENEFITS CLAIMS HAVE PUT REVENUES ABOVE FORECAST AS YOU COULD SEE, BUT NOT QUITE ENOUGH TO BALANCE THIS YEAR'S ACTIVITY OUT. THE SURPLUS FUND BALANCE FROM LAST YEAR AND THE LOWER BENEFIT PAYMENTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER THAT WE NEEDED HAVE ALLOWED THE FUND BALANCE TO OVERALL BALANCE OUT OVER ALL AND MAINTAIN OUR

[00:20:09]
