THANK YOU SO MUCH.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

GOOD AFTERNOON, UH, COUNCIL.

EVERYONE HERE IN MY NAME IS PRINCESS BANKS.

I LIVE AT 200 HIGH POINT LANE.

I COME BEFORE YOU THIS YEAR, AS I DID LAST YEAR IN FAVOR OF OUR HIGH POINT PERIOD NUMBER ONE FISCAL YEAR, 2026 BUDGET.

LAST YEAR, THERE WAS A LOT OF, UH, KERFUFFLE, I LIKE TO SAY AROUND OUR HIGH POINT PI BUDGET, BUT I'M GLAD TO SAY, UM, MOVING FORWARD, I BECAME, UH, NOT ONLY A CITIZEN, BUT I DECIDED TO RUN FOR THE HIGH POINT PI BOARD AND WAS ELECTED.

I AM NOW SERVING AS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE HIGH POINT PIT.

AND THAT HAS ALLOWED ME TO FURTHER, UH, FURTHER MY INTEREST IN TERMS OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR BUDGET, WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND MAKING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD A PREMIER, UH, PREMIER NEIGHBORHOOD TO ALIGN WITH THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL.

ONE OF THE MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE DID START WAS, UH, THE MAILBOX PROJECT WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ALIGNING ALL OUR MAILBOXES TO ONE COLOR, UH, ONE STANDARD MAILBOX.

UM, AND IT LOOKS

[00:05:01]

THERE WAS A KERFUFFLE AROUND, UH, PARTIES THAT THE PIT WAS NOT ABOUT HAVING PARTIES.

WELL, GUESS WHAT, COUNSEL? WE HAD TWO PARTIES.

WE HAD A CHRISTMAS PARTY.

OUR FIRST, IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

UH, WE HAD THE MAYOR THAT COME OUT AS WELL.

AND THEN JUST RECENTLY, WE HAD A BLOCK PARTY FOR OUR RESIDENTS, A BACK TO SCHOOL BLOCK PARTY, OUR FIRST VERY SUCCESS SUCCESSFUL, AND OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR NEIGHBORS APPRECIATED THE PARTY.

SO SOMETIMES HAVING A PARTY CAN BRING US TOGETHER.

IT'S ALL ABOUT NETWORKING, GETTING TO KNOW OUR NEIGHBORS, HOW CAN WE HELP THEM, HOW CAN WE ASSIST THEM AS THE HIGH POINT PIT? WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER PROJECTS IN THE WORKS, I BELIEVE, UM, THAT HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN OUR PROPO BUDGET PROPOSAL TO YOU ALL.

AND I AM, UM, AGAIN, REQUESTING YOU APPROVE OUR BUDGET FOR HIGH POINT PI.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALSO, AS A MATTER TO BE, TO BE OFFICIAL, THAT THIS AGENDA, THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS CONSIDERED OPEN.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ONCE AGAIN.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO IS WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR AGAINST AGENDA ITEM FIVE A, WHICH IS THE HIGH POINT PIT.

ONE MORE TIME.

IS ANYONE, IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR AGAINST HIGH POINT PIT? GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

COUNCIL COUNCILWOMAN.

UH, MY NAME IS SHIRLEY DANIELS.

I AM A HIGH POINT, UH, RESIDENT.

I RECEIVE ADDRESS MANY CALLS.

WE JUST NEED YOUR ADDRESS CONCERNING YOUR ADDRESS, NAME AND ADDRESS.

1360 FOX GLEN, CEDAR HILL, TEXAS.

THANK YOU.

I RECEIVE MANY COWS CONCERNING, UH, THE INCREASE OF SUPPOSEDLY OF OUR PET JEWS.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THAT'S WHY I'M HERE, THAT I HAVE SOME DEEP CONCERNS ABOUT THE, UH, GROUP OF CONTRACTORS THAT HAVE BEEN DOING WORK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I HAD TO, NUMBER ONE, FIRST OF ALL, HAD TO TEACH ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS HOW TO MAKE ALPHABETS WHEN THEY WERE PUTTING THE SIGNS, THE, UH, ON THE CURVES.

SECONDLY, WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH OUR, UH, POND.

I'M JUST REALLY DIS HARDENED WITH OUR CONTRACTORS THAT THEY SEND TO WORK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, IT WASN'T COMPLETED CORRECTLY.

UM, EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE OUT THERE IN CEDAR HILL WITH THESE CONTRACTORS HAS BEEN NONE EFFICIENT IN MY EYESIGHT AND MANY OTHERS THAT COMPLAIN.

SO I'M ASKING THIS BOARD.

WE DON'T NEED AN INCREASE IN ANYTHING.

UH, TAKE, I MEAN, IT, I'M JUST GONNA BE HONEST WITH YOU.

UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY WANTS TO TAKE OVER THE PITCH BECAUSE WE HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY, BUT WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE, AND I'M ONE OF THEM, THAT WE WILL DEDUCT OUR PIT DUES FROM OUR TAX IF THAT'S THE CASE.

UH, WE HAVE DONE THINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT NEVER HAVE BEEN DONE IN 22 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN THERE.

WE, THE COMMUNITY HAS COME TOGETHER MORE THAN ANY OTHER TIME, BUT I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THESE, UH, CONTRACTORS THAT WE ARE PAYING.

SO WE DON'T NEED TO INCREASE ANY DUES TO PAY MORE TO THESE CONTRACTORS THAT HAVE DO OUR JOBS.

SO I'M JUST GONNA TELL THE COUNCIL, NO, WE DON'T NEED ANY INCREASE FOR IN EFFICIENT CONTRACTORS.

SO I HAD SAID THIS IN A PI MEETING.

I DON'T LIKE, UH, SEEING, UH, ALL RACE OF PEOPLE DOING WORK.

I WANNA SEE A VARIETY.

UM, A GROUP OF PEOPLE WORKING.

THIS IS A MINORITY MAJORITY CITY, SO I WANNA SEE MORE.

I LIKE TO SPREAD THE PIE EVEN.

THANK YOU.

THANK

[00:10:01]

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

THANK YOU.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS FOR AGENDA ITEM FIVE A FOR THE HIGH POINT PIT.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK IN THE IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? NOT SEEING ANYONE APPROACH.

WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN THIS UP FOR COUNSEL.

MAY I ASKED A QUESTION OF STAFF.

SO THERE WAS A REFERENCE, UH, TO AN INCREASE, UH, IN FEES, CHARGES, DUES, WHATEVER.

UH, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS CORRESPONDENCE THAT WENT OUT.

UH, COULD YOU EXPLAIN THE SPECIFIC INCREASE IN DUES? IT'S, IT'S NOT FROM CONTRACTORS TO MY UNDERSTANDING WHAT I, IT'S FROM THE CITY'S COST TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE HAS GONE UP SIGNIFICANTLY.

IS THAT FAIR? COULD SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THAT AND PUT THAT ON THE RECORD? SO THE ASSESSMENT ON THE RESIDENTS IS THE SAME AS LAST YEAR AND PRIOR 10 YEARS ACTUALLY IS PROPOSED TO BE THE SAME AS IT HAS SINCE THE CREATION OF THE PIT.

OKAY.

SO IF THE QUESTION IS WITH REGARDS TO THE ASSESSMENT LETTER THAT THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THE PIT RECEIVED THAT PIT ASSESSMENT IS THE EXACT SAME SINCE THE CREATION OF THE PIT, AND THAT GOES, THAT IS THE CASE FOR ALL OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS.

BUT THERE WAS A LETTER FROM THE CITY THOUGH, THAT WENT OUT ABOUT WE WERE INCREASING THE CHARGES TO THE BID.

CORRECT.

AND THAT LETTER FROM THE CITY WAS TO THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

RIGHT.

IN WHICH THE ASSESSMENT THAT THE CITY, UM, CHARGES THE PI FOR AUDIT, FOR ACCOUNTING, FOR, UM, CONTRACT AND PROJECT ADMINISTRATION, PURCHASING, AND ALL OF THAT, THE, THAT ASSESSMENT DID INCREASE.

OKAY.

AND THAT'S, THAT WAS THE CASE FOR ALL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS SINCE FROM NINE TO 10%, BUT THAT DID NOT GO TO THE RESIDENCE.

RIGHT.

BUT, BUT I'M SAYING THAT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY'S COST TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE TO THE PIT HAS GONE UP.

CORRECT.

THANK YOU.

YES.

COUNCILMAN HAYDEN? YES, MAYOR BARAM.

THANK YOU.

I JUST WANT TO KIND OF ECHO AND AND CONFIRM WHAT, UH, UH, COUNCILMAN SIM SAYS THAT THERE IS NO, UH, INCREASE IN FEES ASSESSMENT TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE HIGH POINT PIT SIGN.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL COUNCILWOMAN NAZI, UH, MAYOR PRO TIM, I JUST WANTED TO COMMEND THE HIGH POINT PI ON THE PROJECTS THAT THEY'VE, UH, THAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED, UH, INCLUDING THE, THE MAILBOXES AND I ATTENDED.

UM, I BELIEVE I ATTENDED BOTH OF THE EVENTS, ALTHOUGH I WAS ONLY AT ONE, JUST BRIEFLY.

UM, BUT MOST RECENTLY THE, UM, BLOCK PARTY AND THE EVENTS ARE DONE, UM, WITH GOOD PLANNING.

UM, AND I JUST WANTED TO COMMEND THE PID BOARD AND ALL THOSE THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO, UM, WITH THOSE PROJECTS.

AND I KNOW, UM, MS. BANKS WOULD WELCOME ANYBODY, ANY AND ALL TO ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS.

AM I CORRECT? YES.

THANK YOU.

AND THAT REALLY, REALLY EXCITES ME AND I LOVE IT.
