I FOUND OUT THAT WE WERE GOING BACK TO THIS WAY TONIGHT. WE WILL GO BACK TO THE FORMAL

[4. CITIZENS’ INPUT]

WAY FROM THAT POINT ON. THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM FOUR.

AT THIS TIME COMETS WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE AUDIENCE ON ANY TOPIC. NO ACTION CAN BE TAKEN BY THE

[00:45:01]

COUNSEL. >> DAVE HALL, PLEASE COME UP.

>> STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY RESIDENCE.

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> DAVE HOLLERAN, ROWLETTE.

CATHERINE WILL PASS ON MY EXHIBITS.

I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND I TRANSFERRED MY DEVELOPMENT WHERE HE WOULD DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND BUILD MY KAYAK FACILITY.

DURING THAT TIME THAT THE DELIVERY OF OVER 100 TRUCKS WITHOUT A PERMIT. THE DEVELOPERS PLAN WAS TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS WHEN CALLED. THEY WERE CALLED ON EIGHT-42020 WITH EXHIBIT ONE. NO PENALTIES WERE ACCESSED.

AND STOCKPILING WAS APPROVED. EXHIBIT TWO THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY A TEMPORARY PLACEMENT WHICH WOULD MUTELY BE USED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT WHEN THE FINAL PLAN OR PERMITS WERE ISSUED.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LEVELED, INSPECTED EVERY TWO WEEKS AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER EVERY HALF-INCH OF RAIN.

YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PROPERTY'S CURRENT CONDITION NONE OF THIS TOOK PLACE. THE DEVELOPER DID NOT MEET ITS CONTRACTUAL BEATING DEATHS BUILD A RESPONSIBILITY TO ME SO HIGH HAD THE 4 ACRES TRANSFERRED BACK TO ME.

BEFORE THAT I RECEIVE ASSURANCES FROM THE CITY THAT THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING ISSUES I WOULD BE HELD RESULT MULTIPLE FOR WHEN LAKESHORE HELD THE LEAD. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ABOVE THERE WERE MANY VIOLATIONS TAKEN PLACE AND BEING OVERLOOKED BY THE INSPECTION STAFF. I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO RESEARCH THIS HAD TO RESORT TO OPEN RECORDS REQUESTS WHICH WERE AT FIRST IGNORED BY STEP. THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN POORLY MANAGED AT ALL LEVELS. FOR EXAMPLE TO STAFF FROM ENCORE, CONTACTED US TO DESIGN AND SEE IF WE WOULD AGREE TO THIS. WE AGREED.

IT SORT OF DIED AND WE NEVER ANYTHING.

THAT IS EXHIBIT FOUR. TO STAFF SAID I AM NOT MAD AT YOU BECAUSE I AM IN THE CITY. AND OUT OF THE CITY HAS HANDLED THIS. REGARDING THE 6917 EAST RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT IS EXHIBIT FIVE.

FROM ENGINEERING DAVE HOLD IS WEARING ME OUT AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I CAN KEEP HIM AT BAY, CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHERE WE ARE. BUILD A ROAD WITH ILLEGALSECUHEO PROJECT IS DONE BY THE CITY AND DEVELOPERS THOUGH UNNECESSARILY DAMAGE THE CITY INTAKE FROM THE RESIDENCE.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CHECKS AND BALANCES WHICH SHOULD HAVE STEPPED UP AND PREVENTED THIS MESS.

PARKS DEPARTMENT PARK ADVISORY BOARD, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD, DEVELOPMENT STAFF ENGINEERING STAFF AND MORE NONE DID. MO SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. TONIGHT YOU ARE APPOINTING NEW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. PLEASE APPOINT THOSE WHO FEEL THE SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY TO THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THEIR POSITION. THANK YOU.

JEFF, IS THIS THE RESULT YOU EXPECTED FROM THE 6 FEET OF CONCRETE FROM THE $20,000 EXPENDITURE.

COUNCIL SEAT THEY MAY BE COUNTING CLOSE TO THE

RIGHT-OF-WAY. >> THANK YOU, DO YOU MIND IF YOU COME BACK TOMORROW TO GET THESE, SO WE CAN PRINT COPIES, NEXT

SPEAKER. >> CATHERINE.

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY, I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. FOURTH SIX MONTHS I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR SIGNS FOR SPANISH AND ENGLISH, WILL SEND YOU WANT I'M GOING TO SEND YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT SPANISH AND ENGLISH LOOKS LIKE. WE HAD TO GIVE OUT OUR FIRST TRESPASSING TICKETS THIS PAST WEEKEND BECAUSE THE SIGNS HAVE NOT BEEN PUT OUT. I HAVE BEEN ASKING.

I GOT THE E-MAIL. I HAVE ALREADY FORWARDED TO THE COUNCIL AS WELL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED, THESE TRESPASSING TICKETS, OR COULD HAVE BEEN IF THE SIGNS WERE PUT IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH. THEY ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT SIGN POLLUTION, BUT IF THEY DID IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME WHEN THEY CAME IN APRIL AND WITH THE TEXT MESSAGES AND THE WAY WE SAID WE

[00:50:05]

NEEDED IT, WE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

I FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT GOT TRESPASSING TICKETS BECAUSE THEY DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. THE SIGNS ARE NOT IN SPANISH, THEY ARE JUST IN ENGLISH. ALSO, THERE IS A CLEANUP FROM A VOLUNTEER THAT DID A LOT OF WORK ABOUT FIVE LOADS ON A TRAILER AND IN THE FOLLOWING TWO DAYS I WENT WITH HER TO FINISH THE TAGLINE, ALL OF THE WAY UP TO DAVID'S PROPERTY, I WILL PASS THIS AROUND TO YOU. THE FIRST PITCHER, I AM GOING TO SEND IS THE PICTURE OF WHEN WE GOT DONE CLEANING UP ALL OF THE WAY UP TO THE COLD. THERE IS A PICTURE ON THE BACK AND THAT IS MY SECOND PART. THE NEXT PICTURES ARE JUST FROM THE TWO DAYS LATER, FROM WHEN I WENT TO WORK THIS WEEKEND I NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE GOING UP THERE.

SHE GOT WILL SAY AFTER JOSEPH E-MAILED ME AND TELL ME I NEED TO HIRE PEOPLE TO CLEAN UP THE TAGLINE, AND THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, AND I GO OUT THERE AND I SPENT HOURS OF MY OWN TIME DOING IT MYSELF THEN GOING TWO DAYS LATER, WHILE I AM AT WORK HAVING TO CALL THE POLICE AND DEAL WITH THIS WHILE I AM AT WORK, I'M JUST GOING TO PASS THIS AROUND.

AT THIS POINT I AM JUST REALLY ANNOYED AND I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT BEING HEARD. SIGNS ARE VERY SIMPLE.

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD GET THEM MADE INC. BRING A RECEIPT BACK AND MAY BE, I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT PART.

I KNOW WE CAN'T COMPLETELY GET RID OF THE TRESPASSING.

THERE IS A LOT THAT COMES WITH THAT AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE, THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID TO THE OFFICER BECAUSE I CAN TRANSLATE, THAT IT WASN'T IN SPANISH.

AND THEY GOT TRESPASSING TICKETS.

>> THANK YOU. YOU SAID YOU HAD A PROPOSED SIGN , WAS NOT IN ONE OF THE HANDOUTS? DID YOU SAY YOU HAD A PICTURE OF A PROPOSED -- IS THIS THE ONE YOU SAID WAS THE PROPOSED SIGN LANGUAGE?

( INDISCERNIBLE ). >> UNDERSTOOD.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT?

[5. CONSENT AGENDA]

>> THAT IS IT, MAY YOUR. THE NEXT ITEM IS THE CONSENT AGENDA THE FOLLOWING MAY BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION.

A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER OR A CITIZEN MAY REQUEST ITEMS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION.

ONE ITEM WAS PULLED, THAT WAS ITEM 5C WHICH IS TO CONSIDER ACTION TO APPOINT AND TO RATIFY APPOINTMENTS TO THE VARIOUS BOARDING COMMISSIONS. AN ERROR NEED TO BE CONNECTED.

COUNSEL DID NOT INDICATE THEY WANTED TO PULL ANY OTHERS.

DOES ANYONE WANT TO FULL ANY OTHER ITEMS. I SEE NONE PLEASE READ THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS INTO THE

RECORD. >> FIVE -- 5A CONSIDER AGREEMENTS WITH DALLAS COUNTY FOR FIRE AND EMS EMERGENCY RESPONSE INTO THE UNINCORPORATED PORTIONS OF DALLAS COUNTY.

>> A MOTION SECOND TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS AS READ EXCLUDING RIDE LITERACY. CALLED THE VOTE.

[5C. Consider appointments to the various boards and commissions.]

[00:55:07]

IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. CONSIDER ACTION TO RATIFY

AND COMMISSION. VARIOUS BOARDS >> I ASKED THIS ITEM TO BE PULLED BECAUSE I HAVE A COUPLE OF AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES MAKE A. IN THE PAST WEEK WE HAD A RESIGNATION OF A REGULAR MEMBER AND I THOUGHT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO REMOVE HER FROM THIS LIST AS WELL AS APPOINTING ONE OF OUR ALTERNATE MEMBERS INTO POSITION FOR THE COMING YEAR.

SO THE CHANGE TO BE MADE WOULD BE TO REMOVE DEBORAH CROSBY AS A REGULAR MEMBER APPOINTMENT, TO ADD JULIA M COME TO REMOVE HER AS AN ALTERNATE AND AT HER AS A REGULAR MEMBER.

AND ONE CLERICAL CORRECTION WAS NAME WAS OMITTED FROM THE LIST THAT WAS BAYLEE WEAKER SHE WAS AN ALTERNATE MEMBER FROM THE PAST YEAR END NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED AS A REGULAR MEMBER FOR THE COMING YEAR. THE REGULAR LIST FOR THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES SHOULD READ CATHERINE CRENSHAW, SIVA, AND AS

AN ALTERNATE MEMBER MARK LAYER. >> THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, HAVE YOU TAKEN A LOOK AT THIS LIST, I CHECKED IT OUT AND EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD.

ALRIGHT. IN THAT CASE ARE THERE QUESTIONS FOR JEFF? I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE ITEM AS AMENDED.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND PERIOD.

>> APPROVE ITEM 5C, CALLED THE VOTE.

[6A. Conduct a public hearing on the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024 and Council vote to delay approval of the budget until September 20, 2023.20]

THAT ITEM BECAUSE -- PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

>> 6H CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 AND COUNCIL VOTE TO DELAY APPROVE OF THE BUDGET

UNTIL SEPTEMBER 20, 2,023. >> I AM HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT ITEM 6 A AND B. AND THE PROPOSED TAX RATE.

TO COMPLY WITH STATE STATUTE THIS ITEM IS REQUIRED TO BE TWO SEPARATE HEARINGS AND ITEMS HOWEVER THIS PRESENTATION WILL COVER BOTH ITEMS. FOLLOWING THIS PRESENTATION WE WILL BOTH PUBLIC HEARINGS, FIRST THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET FOLLOWED BY THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATES.

THE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IS AN EIGHT MONTH COORDINATED EFFORT BETWEEN CITY COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER AND STAFF.

PUTTING A LOT OF TIME AND THOUGHT INTO DECISION-MAKING.

THE INTENSIVE AND LENGTHY PROCESS BEGAN ON JANUARY 23,% DEPARTMENTS HAD ABOUT FIVE MONTHS TO IDENTIFY AND FORMALIZE THEIR BUDGET BEFORE COUNCIL WAS SHOWN THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE BUDGET. THAT WAS IN THE JULY STRATEGY SESSIONS. COUNSEL SET THE CEILING ON THE TAX RATE AND THE CITY MANAGER PRESIDENT PROPOSED BUDGET ON AUGUST 15, THIS YEAR'S BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WILL CONCLUDE TOMORROW NIGHT WITH THE ADOPTION OF FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET AND TAX RATE. SPECIFIC TOPICS AND CHALLENGES CONSIDERED IN THE FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET PROCESS INCLUDE FUTURE FINANCIAL CONDITIONS, EMPLOYEE RETENTION AND ATTRACTION, KEEPING PACE WITH CITY GROWTH AND UTILITY RATES.

AN OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED REVENUE CHANGES INCLUDE A PROPERTY TAX RATE INCREASED TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS AND THE BOND ELECTION APPROVED IN MAY. AN INCREASE PROJECTION FOR SALES TAX REVENUE. UTILITY RATE INCREASES TO PASS THROUGH SERVICE CONTRACT FOR MORE AND THE CITY OF GARLAND AND FCC. AN UPDATED RATE STRUCTURE FOR DRAINAGE FEES AND A FEW OTHER SELECT DEPARTMENTAL FEE CHANGES.

ADDITIONALLY, THERE WERE $3.5 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL MEASURES FOR THE PROPOSED BUDGET TO STRENGTHEN THE FUTURE OF THE GENERAL FUND. AT THE SEPTEMBER FOR THE MEETING, CITY COUNCIL DECIDED NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PROPOSED INCREASES TO RECREATION MEMBERSHIPS.

THE REVENUE FROM THESE INCREASED FEES WAS INCLUDED IN THE FISCAL

[01:00:01]

YEAR 24 PROPOSED REVENUES PRESENTED ON AUGUST 15.

THEREFORE, GENERAL FUND CHARGES FOR SERVICE REVENUES HAVE DECREASED BY A -- BY $40,000. THIS THE ONLY CHANGE FROM THE PROPOSED BUDGET PRESENTED ON AUGUST 15.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDE A VARIETY OF ITEMS INCLUDING CITYWIDE ADDRESSING EMPLOYING PAY, ADDING SEVEN NEW POSITIONS AND ABSORBING THE COST OF TEN POSITIONS FROM EXPIRING GRANTS, INCREASING PUBLIC SAFETY EQUIPMENT, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPLY NEEDS.

AND ADDRESS EXTERNAL OR ADDITIONAL NEEDS OF SOME OF OUR BOYS AT COMMISSIONS AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS.

ALBERT CIP PROGRAM IS PROPOSED THAT $3.5 MILLION ACROSS ALL FUNDING SOURCES AND INCLUDES NEW PROJECTS SUCH AS THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING AND ANNUAL SERVICE FACILITY APPROVED IN THE MAIN BOND ELECTION. PROPERTY TAXES ARTICULATED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND TWO COMPONENTS.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OR O AND M, INS TWO FUND DEBT OBLIGATION. THE NO NEW REVENUE AND BORDER APPROVAL TAX RATES CALCULATED AND CERTIFIED BY DALLAS COUNTY, USING THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER 2023 TAX SPECULATION WORKSHEET AS REQUIRED BY TAX CODE 26 OR .69459 ENDPOINT 716886.

BROKEN OUT BETWEEN OPERATIONS AND DEPTH SERVICE OPERATIONS NOT SHOWN. ON AUGUST 15, THE CITY MANAGER PRESENTED THE FISCAL YEAR 24 PROPOSED BUDGET BASED ON A TAX RATE. COUNSEL SET THE PROPOSED TAX RATE TO PUBLISH AT THE BORDER APPROVAL RATE TO ALLOW MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE BUDGET PROCESS.

A PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION WAS HELD SEPTEMBER 5.

THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING IS BEING HELD TONIGHT.

BUDGET DISCUSSIONS THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET PROCESS HAVE ALLOWED THE TAX RATE OF .7100 INCLUDED IN THE CITY MANAGER'S FISCAL YEAR 24 PROPOSED BUDGET TO REMAIN UNCHANGED. THEREFORE THE TAX RATE FOR ADOPTION EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, INCLUDES AN OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE TAX RATE OF FIVE-POINT THREE 1341.

FOR TOTAL TAX RATE OF .470400. THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET AND TAX RATE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THERE IS SPECIFIC LANGUAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE READ AT THE CONCLUSION OF EACH OF THE HEARINGS.

>> THANK YOU, WE WILL FOCUS ON ITEM 6A.

I JUST WANTED TO SHARE -- ACTUALLY ASKED MEMBERS OF COUNSEL DO THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MAKE A

STATEMENT. >> ONE THING THAT WASN'T THE PRESENTATION THAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO REALIZE, AND MR. HALL MAYBE YOU CAN ADDRESS THIS LIGHTLY WOULD BE THE EXPIRATION OF THE SAFER GRANDSON WHAT THAT MEANS FOR WHAT OUR BUDGET LOOKS LIKE IN THE COMING YEAR, HOW THAT

IMPACTS HUSTLES ESSENTIALLY. >> ABSOLUTELY.

THIS YEAR, WE HAD THE EXPIRATION OF ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS SAFER GRANDSON. THAT IMPACTS THE ■BUDGETTOTHE TUNE OF CLOSE TO $1 MILLION. TRADITIONALLY, AS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE PUBLICLY WE EXPECT THERE IS THE EXPIRATION OF AN ADDITIONAL SIX GRANT BOTH OF WHICH FUNDED FIREFIGHTERS THAT TO, WILL IMPACT THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET IN FISCAL YEAR 25, FOR% APPROXIMATELY A MILLION PLUS DOLLARS.

>> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT AND I HOPE THE PUBLIC APPRECIATES THAT TOO. ALTHOUGH IT MAY SEEMED LIKE THE TAX REVENUE IS INCREASING, THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THESE ARE PERSONNEL WE HAVE HAD ON STAFF FOR SOME TIME NOW.

WE WERE JUST NOT PAYING FOR THEM.

NOW WE ARE IN A POSITION WHERE WE ARE OBLIGATED, BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEED FOR THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE TO OVER CITIZENS IN TERMS OF FIRE SERVICE, TO PROVIDE THAT TO OUR RESIDENTS.

SO, THAT IS THE BULK OF THE BUDGET INCREASE.

A VERY GOOD PORTION OF IT. >> I WILL ALSO ADD, SOMETHING TO THAT, PREVIOUS COUNSEL ALLOCATED FUNDING NECESSARY TO BRIDGE THAT GAP, PERSONNEL COMING ON, AND PREVIOUS LEADERSHIP DID NOT MAKE IT CLEAR TO COUNSEL THAT, THAT WAS NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH WHICH

[01:05:04]

LEFT THIS COUNSEL IN A BIND, HAVING TO CLEAN UP THE MESS.

AND SO, IF COUNSEL HAD ALL OF THE INFORMATION AT THE TIME, I AM SURE WE WOULD BE IN A BIT OF A DIFFERENT POSITION, BUT THAT IS WHY WE ARE MOVING FORWARD AND PROGRESSING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION ALONG WITH OUR NEW CITY MANAGER DAVID HALL AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. ON THAT NOTE I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY APPRECIATION TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR PRESENTING A WELL CONSIDERED BUDGET AND TO OUR DEDICATED STAFF WHO HAS WORKED TIRELESSLY BEHIND THE SCENES TO PRODUCE A BUDGET THAT REFLECTS OUR COMMITTED PROGRESS EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY AS AN ORGANIZATION. THIS PROPOSED BUDGET IS AMOUNTING TO $173 MILLION WHICH REPRESENTS, AS STATED IN AN INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AND AGAIN WHILE THIS INCREASE IS PRIMARILY ATTRIBUTED TO ESSENTIAL OPERATING EXPENSES AND THE RECENT 2023 BOND PASSING IT IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR COLLECTIVE VISION FOR THE POSITIVE GROWTH OF ROWLETTE.

BEYOND THESE NUMBERS AND LINE ITEMS IS WHAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT WHICH IS THE VOICE OF OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH ARE FEEDBACK IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE OUR BUDGET NOT ONLY SUPPORTS OVER CITIES OPERATIONS BUT ALSO RESONATES WITH ALBERT CITIZENS WHICH IS WHY WE WILL BE HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING IN A SECOND PERIOD I WANT TO MAKE SURE DO ANY MEMBERS OF COUNSEL WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE I OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING? WITH THAT, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM MAY COME FORWARD, YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, CITY OF RESIDENCE AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALRIGHT, IN THAT CASE, WE WILL MOVE ON -- I'M SORRY I NEED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> I MOVED TO OFFICIALLY POSTPONE THE VOTE TO ADOPT THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET UNTIL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2,023.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? >> COUNCILMEMBER.

>> SECOND. >> EMULSION AND A SECOND TO POSTPONE THE VOTE TO ADOPT THE 2024 BUDGET UNTIL WEDNESDAY, ANY DISCUSSION? I SEE NONE, CALLED THE VOTE.

[6B. Conduct a public hearing on the ad valorem tax rate for Fiscal Year 2024 and announce the date, time and place of the meeting at which the vote will occur (September 20, 2023).]

AND THAT ITEM CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

I WILL NOW READ ITEM 6B TO THE RECORD.

ANNOUNCE THE DATE TIME AND PLACE OF THE MEETING AT WHICH THE POPE WILL OCCUR ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2,023.

WITH THAT, STAFFS PRESENTATION COVERED, I WILL AGAIN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 6B ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY RESIDENTS AND YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. I SEE NONE I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL READ A STATEMENT.

THE CITY COUNCIL THE CITY WILL BUILD ON A TAX RATE ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 AT 5:30 P.M. IN THE CITY CUMBER CHAMBERS LOCATED 4,000 -- AND THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO ATTEND.

ALL RIGHT WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM.

[6C. Consider action to approve a resolution adopting an amendment to the Master Fee Schedule of the City of Rowlett to establish a new inspection fee structure for Civil Construction Permits based on construction quantities.]

ITEM 6C CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE OF THE CITY OF ROWLETTE TO ESTABLISH A NEW INSPECTION FEE STRUCTURE FOR CIVIL CONSTRUCTION PERMITS BASED ON CONSTRUCTION QUANTITIES.

PRESENTING IS DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND INTERIM DIRECTOR

OF PUBLIC WORKS, JEFF. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS TO CONSIDER IN ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE OF THE CITY OF ROWLETTE TO ESTABLISH A REVISED ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTION FEE STRUCTURE BASED ON THE MEASURED QUANTITY OF PUBLIC UTILITIES FOR PRIVATELY FUNDED DEVELOPMENT.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND. CITIES, AS YOU MAY KNOW CHARGE INSPECTION FEES FOR INSPECTING CONSTRUCTION.

WE INSPECT CONSTRUCTION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY STANDARDS, TO MAKE SURE THE CONTRACTORS ARE EMPLOYING GOOD WE DO ALL OF THIS TO SAFEGUARD THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE

[01:10:01]

PUBLIC. WHEN WE RECEIVE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.

TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 212, SECTION 212.906 WAS PASSED BY THE LEGISLATION RECENTLY THIS YEAR.

AND SIGNED INTO LAW BY GOVERNOR ABBOTT.

THIS CODE REQUIRES THE CITIES TO STRUCTURE THEIR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT INSPECTION FEES FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON BOTH COST TO THE CITY. THIS COST CAN BE MEASURED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. THE FEE THAT WOULD BE CHARGED BY THIRD-PARTY COMPANY, THE COST, THE ACTUAL COST TO THE CITY TO PROVIDE THOSE INSPECTION SERVICES OR THE ACTUAL COSTS THAT WOULD BE INVOICED BY A THIRD-PARTY COMPANY.

SO, WE DID A LITTLE COMPARISON OF THE COSTS, THE REVENUE THAT WE GENERATE FROM THESE FEES, AND WHAT WE MIGHT PAY IN COST TO A THIRD-PARTY COMPANY. ( INDISCERNIBLE ) NORTH AMERICA RESPONDED TO AN RFP WE PUT OUT LAST YEAR, AND WE TOOK THOSE PROPOSED COSTS AND COMPARE THEM TO THE REVENUES AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS TABLE. THE ENGINEERING FEE FUND GENERATES ON AVERAGE, IF WE LOOK BACK, ABOUT FIVE YEARS ON AVERAGE ABOUT 581,000, ALMOST $600,000.

THE BUREAU VERITAS SUBMITTED A MONTHLY FEE FOR A SINGLE INSPECTOR OF $22,533. SO, WE EMPLOY SIX INSPECTORS IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. TWO OF HOME DO CIP WORK.

WE NEGATED THOSE INSPECTORS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS FAIR, THEY ARE NOT DOING INSPECTIONS OF PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT. BUT THE REMAINING FOUR WOULD COST ABOUT $1 MILLION AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE TABLE.

WE WANTED TO LOOK AT A PROPOSED FEE STRUCTURE THAT BASICALLY APPROXIMATES WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY CHARGING WHICH IS MUCH LESS THAN WHAT WE COULD BE CHARGED BY AN OUTSIDE AGENT.

SINCE WE CANNOT USE A VALUE OF THE CONSTRUCTION, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WITHOUT THE LOGICAL CHOICE WAS THE QUANTITY OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

THIS QUANTITY WOULD BE THE AREA OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT, WHICH IS TYPICALLY THE ROAD. THE FIRE LANES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH A CAMPUS OF SOME KIND, ALSO THE LENGTH OF THE UTILITIES FOR THE PROJECT. WE LOOKED AT THE RESTAURANT WE WENT AND LOOKED AT TEN PREVIOUS PROJECTS, THESE RANGED OF A MIX OF SINGLE-FAMILY SUBDIVISIONS TO ONE LOT COMMERCIAL TYPE DEVELOPMENT. WE KNOW THE FEES THAT WE COLLECTED, WE KNOW THE QUANTITY OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE INSTALLED. WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE A PLOT , A DATASET OF THE COSTS, THE FEES WE COLLECTED AND THE QUANTITIES WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE A LEAST-SQUARES RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THOSE AND WE THEN, ONCE WE ESTABLISH THAT RELATIONSHIP WE DID LOOK AT OTHER PROJECTS TO SEE IF THAT FEE RELATIONSHIP ACTUALLY HELD UP, AND WE WERE SATISFIED THAT IT DID. IT IS AN EXAMPLE, NOT AN EXAMPLE BUT AN ACTUAL CHART OF THE DATA SET WE GENERATED WITHOUT PROJECTS AND YOU CAN SEE THE TREND LINE THAT CAN BE GENERATED. WE SAW THE FEE, AND WE CAME UP WITH THE FORMULA, WHICH THIS IS WHERE THE CONCRETE AND SWEAR YARDS USE THE LENGTH IN. OUR RECOMMENDED ACTIONS TO MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE IN THE CITY TO ESTABLISH OR REVISE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT CONSTRUCTION, INSPECTION FEE STRUCTURE BASED ON THE MEASURED QUANTITY OF PUBLIC UTILITIES FOR PRIVATELY FUNDED DEVELOPMENT.
