THE AGENDA IS BUDGET AND TUCK TAX MATTERS.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? IF NOT ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND MO UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU COUNSEL.

NEXT ITEM ON

[a. Conduct a public hearing for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 proposed tax rate of $0.636455 per $100 of taxable value.]

UH, FIRST ITEM UNDERNEATH THAT IS SEVEN A IS CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PHYSICAL YEAR 2020 4, 2 0 25, PROPOSED TAX RATE OF 0.6 3 6 4 5 5 PER $100 OF TAXABLE VALUE.

COUNSEL, I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM.

IS THERE ANYONE IN WISHING TO SPEAK, UH, IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED TAX RATE OF 0.6 3 6 4 5 5? IS THERE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? PLEASE COME ON UP.

AND YOU HAVE, UH, THREE, I'M SORRY.

YES, ACTUALLY FIVE MINUTES FOR THIS ITEM, UH, MADAM SECRETARY, AND IF YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

AND THE CLOCK IS ON PHILLIP , 1130 NORTH CEDAR HILL ROAD, CEDAR HILL, TEXAS 7 5 1 0 4.

UM, THE, I THINK THAT THE BUDGET COULD BE A LITTLE BIT LOWER, OR THE TAX RATE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT LOWER.

AND THE WAY I DESCRIBE IT IS THAT, UM, FOUR 30 ON AUGUST, UH, OR THE DAY AFTER THE FIRST MONDAY IN AUGUST, I WENT TO PAY MY WATER BILL.

THERE WAS A LADY IN FRONT OF ME AND SHE SAID, UH, SHE WAS FUSSING UP THERE WITH THEM AND I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

AND SHE SAYS, YOU MEAN THEY'RE NOT TAKING CASH? AND WHEN SHE FINISHED, I SAYS, UH, ARE THEY TAKING CASH? AND SHE SAYS, WELL, MAYBE THEY'LL TAKE YOURS.

WELL, THEY DIDN'T TAKE MINE.

AND WHEN YOU FIGURE THAT UP, THAT'S A 6%, IN OTHER WORDS, NOT WORKING.

AND WHAT THAT DOES

[00:45:01]

IS, YOU, YOU MAY NOT THINK SO, BUT JUST BEING IN BUSINESS AND HAVING TO WRITE CHECKS AND NOT JUST SIGN CHECKS, SIGN A CHECK THAT YOU GOT, I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE.

IN OTHER WORDS, NOT ONLY DOES THAT PERSON NOT NOT WORKING, BUT THEY'RE NOT SERVING THE CITIZENS OF CEDAR HILL.

AND IF YOU GO LOOK THROUGH THE, UH, CITY, UH, THE WAY THE CITY FUNCTIONS, UH, LABOR DAY, UH, THE POOLS, THE, ALL THE PLACES ARE CLOSED, THE SENIOR CENTER'S CLOSED, THE REC CENTER'S CLOSED.

AND I, I GUESS THE POOL WAS CLOSED TOO.

I THINK IT CLOSED IN THE 12TH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND THIS IS A CONCERN OF MINE.

AND IN OTHER WORDS, Y'ALL LOOK TO SAVE IN THE BUDGET.

WELL, THERE'S MONEY TO BE SAVED IN THAT IF THEY DON'T WANNA WORK OR THE, THE LEADERSHIP RIGHT HERE SETS IT UP TO WHERE THEY CAN, UH, STOP WORKING AT, UH, FOUR 30.

THAT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

IT GOES TO THE SUPERVISORS, THEIR SUPERVISORS, AND ALL THE WAY TO THE CITY MANAGER.

AND, UM, THE NEXT THING THAT KIND OF CAUGHT MY ATTENTION TONIGHT WAS THE PS.

Y'ALL, I THINK Y'ALL SAID Y'ALL HAVE A PED SUPERVISOR OR A ADMINISTRATOR.

WELL, IF THIS PED THE, IF THE PEDS ARE TAXING THE, THEY NEED TO HAVE THEIR OWN ADMINISTRATOR TO ADMINISTRATE IT AND NOT HAVE IT THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHERE WE'RE PAYING FOR, UH, TO PUT THESE PIS IN PLACE.

BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AROUND AND YOU DRIVE AROUND AND, UM, YOU'LL SEE THAT A LOT OF THINGS THAT THE PIS ARE DOING, THE CITY'S DOING THEM ALREADY FOR OTHER AREAS LIKE CUTTING THE RIGHT OF WAYS OR SO, THERE'S PLACES THAT THEY CUT 'EM AND TAKE CARE OF THEM.

AND ONE THING I'VE NOTICED IN SOME OF THE PIGS, THEY COME UP TO THE CREPE MYRTLES.

WELL, I'VE LIVED AT A PLACE AT 38 YEARS AND THE CREPE MYRTLES MAY HAVE BEEN TRIMMED A LITTLE BIT.

AND THE FORMER FIRST LADY, I THINK IN ONE OF THE ARTICLES THAT I READ, SHE TALKED ABOUT CREPE MURDER, CREPE MURDER.

IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN THEY TRIMMED THESE CREPE MYRTLES, IF YOU LOOK AT 'EM AFTER A FEW YEARS, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'VE GOT BLACK AND THEN THEY'LL DIE.

AND THIS IS SOMEPLACE WHERE I SEE THAT THEY'RE SPENDING MONEY JUST TO SPEND A CONTRACT.

AND, UH, I'M JUST, I FEEL LIKE, UH, WHEN YOU COME TO A TOWN AND YOU GO IN BUSINESS, IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN YOU COME TO A TOWN AND YOU GO TO WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE.

AND IT'S DIFFERENT EARNING A LIVING HERE IN CEDAR HILL AS OPPOSED TO MOVING TO CEDAR HILL AND GOING WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE THE PAY IS HIGH.

AND, AND THEN TRY AND TRANSLATE THAT TO LIVE IN THAT AREA.

ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 2024 DASH 8 24, WHICH APPROVES AND ADOPTS A BUDGET FOR PHYSICAL YEAR, BEGINNING OCTOBER 1ST, 2024, AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED TAX RATE OF 0.6 3 6 4 5 5? IS THERE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED TAX RATE? POINT SIX 3 6 4 5 5? NOT SEE ANYONE APPROACH.

I WILL CLOSE THAT PORTION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, COUNSEL, THAT WAS JUST A PUBLIC HEARING, ONLY NOTHING TO CONSIDER ON THAT ITEM.

SO I'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT CONSIDER
