Jun 09, 2026 City Council Meeting

[00:00:03]

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. WELCOME TO TONIGHT'S COUNCIL MEETING. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS WILL MEET ON TUESDAY,

[1. Call to Order, Roll Call, and Establishment of Quorum.]

FOR THE RECORD, THE COUNCIL IS HERE, MINUS COUNCIL MEMBER BRYAN.

SO WE DO HAVE A QUORUM. AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO GIVE THE INVOCATION.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, I'D LIKE TO CALL UP FUTURE EAGLE SCOUT, CHARLIE KHALIL TO DO OUR PLEDGES FOR US THIS EVENING.

FATHER GOD, WE COME BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING TO ASK FOR WISDOM AND GUIDANCE AS WE GO FORTH AND DO BUSINESS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF ANNA.

LORD, I PRAY FOR OPEN MINDS AND OPEN HEARTS AS WE GO FORWARD TONIGHT.

LORD, I SPECIFICALLY WANT TO LIFT UP FORMER COUNCILMAN STAN CARVER'S FAMILY AND THE LOSS OF HIS FATHER IN LAW RECENTLY.

IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION THAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH, AND I PRAY FOR PEACE AND COMFORT AS THEY GO THROUGH IT.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THE WILLINGNESS OF THOSE ON THIS DAIS TO SERVE AND TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU FOR JESUS. AND IT'S IN HIS NAME I PRAY.

AMEN. AMEN.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

ONE AND INDIVISIBLE. THANK YOU SIR.

YEAH, HE CAME IN AND NOT HAVING ANY IDEA THAT WE WERE GOING TO ASK HIM TO DO THAT. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. ALL RIGHT.

BE PREPARED. YEAH. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 3 IS NEIGHBOR COMMENTS.

[3. Neighbor Comments.]

HANG ON. THAT MIC'S NOT ON. THERE WE GO. MY NAME IS STEPHEN SMITH AND I'M THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AT 109 73 COUNTY ROAD 290.

I AM HERE TONIGHT TO ADDRESS A MATTER OF NON-NEGOTIABLE STATE LAW.

ON NOVEMBER 21ST, 2024, AND AGAIN ON AUGUST THE 8TH, 2025, AND APRIL 24TH, 2026, I SUBMITTED LEGALLY COMPLIANT PETITIONS FOR THE REMOVAL OF MY PROPERTY FROM THE CITY OF ANNA'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.

ALL PETITIONS WERE EXECUTED IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH THE SENATE BILL 2038, SUBCHAPTER D OF CHAPTER 42 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

EACH ONE WAS REJECTED FOR, QUOTE, BEING INSUFFICIENT BECAUSE, QUOTE, THE CITY BELIEVES SB 2038 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

AT EACH REQUEST TO CLARIFY WHAT IS, QUOTE, INSUFFICIENT, THE CITY OF ANNA HAS CHOSEN TO REMAIN SILENT.

THROUGH MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS TACTIC IS DEPLOYED BY OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, AND THROUGH A FOUR YEAR REQUEST LAST YEAR, I FOUND OUT THAT EVERYS INGLE PETITION THAT WAS SUBMITTED WAS REJECTED FOR EXACTLY THE SAME REASON.

THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT HAS ALREADY SPOKEN UNEQUIVOCALLY ON THIS MATTER.

IN ELLIOTT V. CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE STATE, HAS RULED COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATUTE IS, AND I QUOTE THE COURT DIRECTLY, A MATTER OF PAPERWORK, NOT PERMISSION.

ITS MOOTNESS. THE COURT HAS SUGGESTED THAT THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS PETITION PROCESS MAY ACTUALLY MAKE CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES AGAINST THE ETJ'S MOOT, AS HOMEOWNERS NOW HAVE A CLEAR EXIT STRATEGY PROVIDED BY THE STATE.

YOUR PERSONAL BELIEFS REGARDING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF SB 2038 ARE LEGALLY IRRELEVANT.

THE SUPREME COURT EXPRESSLY STATED THAT THE PURPORTED DENIAL OF COMPLIANT PETITIONS BY A CITY COUNCIL IS, QUOTE, LEGALLY INEFFECTIVE TO AVOID THE STATUTORY FAILSAFE.

TO PUT IT SIMPLY, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO VOTE NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE JURISDICTION TO VETO STATE LAW.

[00:05:03]

THE STATUTORY CLOCK HAS EXPIRED. BY CONTINUING TO WITHHOLD AN UPDATE TO THE MUNICIPAL MAP, BY FORCING CITY STAFF TO MAINTAIN ILLEGAL REGULATORY CONTROL OVER MY LAND, AND BY ATTEMPTING TO DRAG OUT THIS PROCESS, YOU ARE ACTING COMPLETELY OUTSIDE YOUR STATUTORY AUTHORITY.

BY LAW, I HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE ETJ SINCE JANUARY 6TH, 2025.

AGAIN SINCE SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2025. AND FOR GOOD MEASURE SINCE THIS MORNING, JUNE THE 9TH, 2026, THE CITY OF ANNA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY UPDATE ITS ETJ MAPS TO ACCURATELY REFLECT THE LEGAL REMOVAL OF MY PROPERTY. STOP USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO FIGHT A LOSING BATTLE AGAINST THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE AND THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK THAT, BECAUSE THERE'S A PENDING LITIGATION HOLD THAT, NO COMMENTS BE MADE IN RESPONSE TO THE LAST SPEAKER, WHILE HE HAS RAISED ISSUES SPECIFICALLY RELATING TO THE LAW AND WE ARE SYMPATHETIC TO HIS FRUSTRATION WITH THE POSITION THE CITY IS CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN AN ACTIVE LAWSUIT, WHICH IS YET TO RESOLVE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THE PETITIONS WE HAVE RECEIVED HAD ANY MEANING WHEN THEY WERE WRITTEN OR SUBMITTED. ALSO, WE HAVE NOT FOUND THAT THE SUBMISSIONS THAT WE RECEIVED TO DATE HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE LAW AS WRITTEN, AND WE CANNOT OFFER LEGAL ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC ON HOW THEY PURSUE THEIR PERSONAL INTERESTS TO REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM THE CITY'S JURISDICTION USING THE TAXPAYER FUNDS OF THE CITY'S TAXPAYERS. SO FOR THOSE REASONS, I HAVE TO URGE THE COUNCIL TO REFRAIN FROM ANY FURTHER COMMENT ON THOSE ISSUES TONIGHT.

WHERE ARE YOU AT? DEMETRIUS? I'M GOING TO SAY [INAUDIBLE].

OKAY. I'M A RESIDENT OF ANNA. SORRY. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

YES. MY NAME IS DEMETRIUS [INAUDIBLE]. I LIVE AT 3220 CREEK MEADOW DRIVE IN ANNA.

I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF THE VILLAGES OF HURRICANE CREEK SINCE ABOUT 2021.

AND THE ISSUE I'M HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH E-BIKES.

SO E-BIKES ARE RIDING ON SIDEWALKS, AND SIDEWALKS ARE REALLY DESIGNATED FOR WALKING.

E-BIKES CAN TRAVEL UP TO 28MPH. AND THIS RAISES A DANGEROUS MISMATCH WITH PEDESTRIANS ON A NARROW SIDEWALK. NOW, THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE TRAILS OR THE ROAD ACTUALLY WHERE THEY COULD RIDE INSTEAD OF ON THE SIDEWALK. AND THERE'S ALSO A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH CARS TURNING INTO OR BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAYS WHEN A SPEEDING E-BIKE IS ON A SIDEWALK BECAUSE YOU CAN CHECK YOUR, YOU KNOW, ONE WAY AND BY THE TIME YOU TURN THE OTHER WAY, THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND YOU. AND WHAT PROMPTED ME TO COME IN TODAY IS A RECENT INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED WITH ME AND AN E-BIKE.

IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THE HOA HAS SENT OUT TWO NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE UNSAFE OPERATION OF E-BIKES, MOTORCYCLES, AND BICYCLES IN GENERAL. AND ONE OF THEM RECOMMENDED CALLING THE POLICE IF YOU NOTICED UNSAFE BEHAVIOR.

AND I DID THAT. IN MY CASE, I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND I DID NOT NOTICE THE E-BIKE IN TIME.

AND THAT CAUSED HIM TO SWERVE OFF THE SIDEWALK ACROSS MY LAWN.

AND THAT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. AND I CALLED THE POLICE AND NOTIFIED THEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS RECKLESS BEHAVIOR SPEEDING ON THE SIDEWALK.

THE POLICE OFFICER TOLD ME THAT THERE'S NO ORDINANCE RESTRICTING E-BIKES FROM OPERATING ON SIDEWALK.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE ORDINANCES FOR UNSAFE BEHAVIOR.

BUT YOU KNOW, SPEEDING IS RECKLESS IN MY OPINION.

[00:10:04]

NOW, ON THE ANNA POLICE DEPARTMENT SITE, I FOUND THIS DOCUMENT WHICH INDICATES WHERE E-BIKES CAN RIDE, AND ONE OF THEM IS INDICATED SIDEWALKS.

BUT THERE'S AN ASTERISK. UNLESS CITY ORDINANCE RESTRICTS THEM.

NOW, I COULD NOT FIND A CITY ORDINANCE. SO MY PROPOSAL IS TO IMPLEMENT AN ORDINANCE RESTRICTING E-BIKES FROM SIDEWALKS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

APPRECIATE THAT. NEXT UP, WE HAVE PRESENTATION, RECEIVE REPORTS FROM STAFF FOR CITY COUNCIL ABOUT

[4. Presentations.]

RECOGNIZING JUNE AS SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH. THE NATIONAL SAFETY MONTH IS OBSERVED EACH JUNE AND EMPHASIZES ONGOING EDUCATION TO HELP PEOPLE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFETIMES. MYSELF AND THE COUNCIL CALL UPON ALL NEIGHBORS TO OBSERVE JUNE 26TH AS NATIONAL SAFETY MONTH.

THANK YOU. AND THEN I HAVE SOME UPCOMING EVENTS.

I COULD HAVE READ THIS EARLIER. NEW TIMER. WE HAVE A NEW TIMER UP HERE, AS YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD, TO HELP KEEP MEETINGS TIMELY AND EFFICIENT. NEW PUBLIC COMMENT TIMER HAS BEEN ADDED. PROVIDES A THREE MINUTE LIMIT, A YELLOW LIGHT AT 30S WITH THE.

AND REMAINING A RED LIGHT WITH AN AUDIBLE ALERT WHEN TIME ENDS.

UPCOMING EVENTS AND RECOGNITION. JUNETEENTH COMMUNITY BLOCK PARTY IS THIS SATURDAY, COMMUNITY CELEBRATION OF HISTORY.

THE EVENT WILL BE PACKED WITH EXCITEMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT.

IT'S GOING TO BE THE 13TH AT 10 A.M. TO 1 P.M.

AT THE MUNICIPAL PLAZA AND ANNA COMMUNITY COMMUNITY LIBRARY, WHICH IS RIGHT OUTSIDE THAT WINDOW.

UPCOMING BOOTS AND BOOM CELEBRATION. THE BIGGEST CELEBRATION WE HAVE OF THE YEAR, I BELIEVE, CELEBRATING AMERICA'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY, WE'LL HAVE LIVE MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT. CAFE ANDERSON WILL BE THERE ALONG WITH PEYTON MCKENNA.

IT'LL BE A SLAUGHTER CREEK PARK ON JUNE 27TH.

WE'RE GOING TO START AT 5:00 AND A SPECIAL FLYOVER WILL HAPPEN AT ABOUT 8 P.M.

TAKES US TO AGENDA ITEM 5. WORK SESSION. WE DON'T HAVE ANY ITEMS IN THAT. AND SO THAT'S ITEM 6.

[6. Consent Items.]

ITEMS MAY BE CONSIDERED INDIVIDUALLY BY ANY COUNCIL MEMBER MAKING SUCH REQUESTS PRIOR TO A MOTION AND VOTE ON THE CONSENT ITEMS. COUNCIL, ANYTHING ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO PULL? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 6.A. THROUGH D. SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERNDON, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WALDEN. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. AGENDA ITEM SEVEN. INDIVIDUAL ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION AND PUBLIC HEARINGS AT THE TIME AND PLACE OF ANY

[7. Items For Individual Consideration and Public Hearings.]

DIRECTOR OF DINANCE, TERRI DOBY. GOOD EVENING.

I AM DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, TERRI DOBY, AND I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR FROM HILLTOP SECURITIES.

HE'S GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THE POSTINGS AND ETC.

THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR US TO ENTER A TAX AND REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION THIS SUMMER.

THESE ARE BEING TARGETED AT OUR WATER AND SEWER UTILITY FOR THE MOST PART TO HELP US FINISH OUT THE HURRICANE CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. AND NO FURTHER ADO, THIS IS ANDRE.

THANK YOU, TERRI. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I HAVE A HANDOUT IN FRONT OF YOU, PRESENTATION.

SO, ANDRE WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES, FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO THE CITY.

THIS EVENING, WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

YOU MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS BEFORE.

IT IS A PROCESS THAT BEGINS WITH A PLAN. SO WE PREPARED A PLAN OF FINANCE FOR YOUR STAFF.

THEY HAVE REVIEWED THE PLAN AND NOW WE'RE PRESENTING THIS PLAN TO YOU. CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION DOES REQUIRE A NOTICE, SO WE HAVE TO POST A NOTICE. HAVE THAT FOR AT LEAST 46 DAYS BEFORE YOU CAN ACT ON AN ORDINANCE.

TONIGHT, YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PUBLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE,

[00:15:04]

AS TERRI INDICATED, THIS IS FOR UTILITY PROJECTS, 100% FOR UTILITY PROJECTS.

THERE ARE TWO MAIN PROJECTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THIS PROGRAM, THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND COLIN WELL #3.

WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING HERE IS A REPAYMENT PERIOD OF 30 YEARS.

SO THIS WILL BE A 30 YEAR FIXED RATE BOND TAX EXEMPT BASIS TO BE ISSUED ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS, JUST LIKE WHAT THE CITY HAS BEEN DOING BEFORE. SO THE PROCESS HERE WOULD BE FOR US TO, IF YOU APPROVE THIS PLAN AND THIS NOTICE TO PACKAGE EVERYTHING, PUT IT IN THE SERVICES, AND THEN TAKE BIDS AND THEN AWARD THE TRANSACTION TO THE LOWEST BIDDER.

THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS $54 MILLION.

THE PROGRAM IS FOR 52.5. NOW, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO HAVE A CUSHION JUST IN CASE SOMETHING CHANGES IN BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THE BIDDING HAPPENS, AND THEN TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY POTENTIAL BOND DISCOUNTS THAT WE MAY ENCOUNTER.

THAT'S NOT HOW THE MARKET IS OPERATING THESE DAYS, BUT THAT COULD HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. THE BUDGETED INTEREST RATE FOR THIS TRANSACTION, COUNCIL, IS A 4.95 FIXED INTEREST RATE THAT WE HAVE HERE.

AGAIN, THAT'S JUST THE BUDGET. IF YOU WERE TO PRICE THOSE CERTIFICATES TODAY, I THINK YOU'LL BE LOOKING AT CLOSER TO MAYBE FOUR AND A HALF, 4.6% ON THIS TRANSACTION. SO AS A RECAP, COUNCIL, YOU'RE RATED BY BOTH MOODY'S AND STANDARD AND POOR'S.

SO THE CITY IS A HIGH INVESTMENT GRADE RATED CITY.

THIS COMBINATION OF TAX AND REVENUE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION, IF IT IS RATED, WE EXPECT WILL BE RATED EXACTLY AS IT IS, AS YOUR OUTSTANDING DEBT. WE DON'T EXPECT ANY CHANGES IN THE RATING AS A RESULT OF THIS PROCESS.

SO IF WE WERE TO GO TO S&P AND MOODY'S, WE WOULD EXPECT A SIMILAR RESULT AS LAST TIME, WHICH IS A AA BY STANDARD AND POOR'S AND AA TOO BY MOODY'S.

GIVEN THE HIGH INVESTMENT GRADE, THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE WRAPPING THIS BOND WITH MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU'RE STRONG ENOUGH ON YOUR OWN. SOURCES AND USES RECAP. SO WE RAN THE NUMBERS AND WE'RE COMING UP WITH A BOND THAT MAY BE AROUND $53.4 MILLION.

TO FUND THE PROJECT, WE'RE BUDGETING ABOUT $450,000 IN FINANCING COSTS.

AGAIN, THAT MAY VARY AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUT WE'RE BEING CONSERVATIVE ON THAT BUDGET. AND THEN THE UNDERWRITERS DISCOUNT IS THE COMMISSION THAT THE BIDDER WILL TAKE TO PURCHASE THE BONDS. SO THEY PURCHASE THE BONDS AT A DISCOUNT, AND THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND SELL THOSE BONDS TO THEIR INVESTORS IN $5,000 DENOMINATIONS.

THAT'S WHAT THEY NORMALLY DO. IF THIS BOND PRICES AT THE EXPECTED BUDGET, WE'RE LOOKING AT A TOTAL PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST FOR A 30 YEAR PERIOD OF $130 MILLION AND CHANGE. THE AVERAGE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST WOULD BE ABOUT $3.4 MILLION.

AGAIN, IF WE PRICE AT 4.95% FOR A 30 YEAR PERIOD, FIXED RATE.

NOW, THE PROCESS HERE WOULD BE, IF THIS COUNCIL DECIDES TO MOVE FORWARD, THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO PUBLISH A NOTICE OF INTENT OUTLINING THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT AND TELLING THE PUBLIC WHEN YOU WILL BE CONSIDERING THAT ORDINANCE. SO WE HAVE TO SPECIFY THE LOCATION, THE DATE AND THE TIME SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN UNTIL AUGUST.

SO YOU WILL BE CONSIDERING THIS AT THE FIRST MEETING IN AUGUST, WHICH WOULD BE ON AUGUST 11TH.

IF AT THAT POINT IN TIME WE HAVE SUCCESSFUL BIDDING AND YOU DECIDE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE, THEN WE'LL BE ALL READY TO CLOSE AT THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER.

SO WE'RE TARGETING SEPTEMBER 9TH AS A CLOSING DATE.

AND THEN IN THE BACK AS AN APPENDIX, I PUT A BUNCH OF NUMBERS, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS. THOSE WILL BE THE PROJECTED CASH FLOWS THAT.

THERE'S A BUNCH OF NUMBERS HERE FOR THE SCREEN, BUT YOU MAY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND JUST ASK ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THOSE NUMBERS.

AS FAR AS THE FEASIBILITY OF THE BOND, AND CAN YOU CLEAR THE MARKET? YES, IT CAN CLEAR THE MARKET. NOW, IT MAY HAVE OTHER IMPLICATIONS.

AND WE'RE READY TO DISCUSS THOSE WITH YOU TONIGHT. COUNCIL, ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THIS? I GOT A QUESTION FOR STAFF. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.

I'M SORRY FOR ENGINEERING. OKAY. YEAH. I MEAN, IF IT'S FOR YOU, I'LL ASK YOU TO.

SO MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION YOU GUYS CAN DO TOGETHER. HOW ABOUT THAT? SO ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS I'VE HEARD IN THIS CITY IS, YOU KNOW, THE COST OF WATER, RIGHT? IT'S BEEN A PRETTY BIG, YOU KNOW, POINT THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, TOUCHING ON. AND NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST BEGIN THE PROCESS IN THE ISSUANCE OR AT LEAST A NOTICE FOR THE $54 MILLION OF COMBINATION TAX AND REVENUES, CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION FOR THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT.

THE ONE THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE ASKING THE PUBLIC TO SUPPORT TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INFRASTRUCTURE, WE ALSO GOT TO LAY OUT A PLAN FOR THEM AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO LOWER THE COSTS OVER THE LONG TERM. RIGHT? SO WITH THAT, I HAVE A FEW GENERAL QUESTIONS.

I KNOW, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE YOU GUYS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER, BUT IF YOU GUYS WOULDN'T MIND CIRCLING BACK ON A LATER DATE.

SO FIRST ONE IS, DOES ANNA USE WINTER WATER AVERAGING FOR RESIDENTIAL WASTEWATER BILLING? WE DO NOT. OKAY. HAS IT EVER BEEN EVALUATED? YES.

AND WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME OF THAT EVALUATION? THAT IT WOULD RAISE THE RATES FOR MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS.

[00:20:02]

AND WHEN YOU DO WINTER AVERAGING, YOU'RE JUST BASICALLY STIRRING IT UP AS TO WHO PAYS WHAT.

YOU'RE NOT LOWERING THE AMOUNT THAT GETS PAID.

WELL, IS THERE ANY WAY AT SOME POINT AT A FUTURE DATE, YOU CAN MAYBE GIVE US SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY.

WE HAVE ON THE CALENDAR ALREADY A WORKSHOP WITH OUR RATE MODEL CONSULTANTS AT THE FIRST MEETING IN JULY.

OKAY. PERFECT. TO DISCUSS OUR 2026 RATES AND BEYOND.

OKAY. AND THEN HAS THERE. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE WATER OR THE WASTEWATER RATES WERE RAISED? 2024. OCTOBER 2024, RIGHT? OKAY. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT ANNA'S CURRENT WASTEWATER STRUCTURE, HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER CITIES AROUND US? CELINA, MCKINNEY, MELISSA.

GRACE, DO YOU HAVE THE PRESENTATION I SENT YOU? GRACE.

SO THIS IS A CHART THAT YOU'LL SEE AS PART OF NEXT MONTH'S PRESENTATION.

BUT OUR RATE ANALYST AND FOLKS WERE HELPING US OUT WITH THIS YESTERDAY.

SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, CURRENTLY WE ARE SIXTH AMONG THE CITIES THAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT.

THE LITTLE ASTERISK ARE CITIES THAT DO WINTER AVERAGING.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE ABOVE US DO WINTER AVERAGING.

AND THEY STILL HAVE HIGHER RATES THAN WE DO. SO AS TERRI MENTIONED, OUR RATE IS A ZERO SUM PROPOSITION, MEANING WE NEED A CERTAIN RATE OR WE NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CAPITAL TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE, WHETHER THAT BE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS, WATER TOWERS, A NUMBER OF OTHER ITEMS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT IN OUR NEEDS ANALYSIS AND OUR FIVE AND TEN YEAR CIP, WHICH WILL BE A PRESENTATION, WE'LL BE COMING HERE AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS AS WELL.

SO THIS IS WHERE WE STACK UP TODAY AGAINST A NUMBER OF THE CITIES IN THE AREA.

NOW YOU'LL SEE SOME OF OUR LARGER NEIGHBORS, MCKINNEY, ALLEN, FRISCO.

THEY HAVE LOWER RATES THAN WE DO, BUT THEY ALSO BUILT ALL THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE AT A TIME WHERE BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE WAS A WHOLE LOT MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN IT IS TODAY.

SO WE ARE STILL A GROWING CITY IN THE PROCESS OF GROWING.

SO FAIRVIEW, MELISSA, FARMERSVILLE, PARKER, THEY'RE STILL IN THAT GROWING PROCESS AS WELL.

SO YES, THIS IS HOW WE COMPARE TO OUR SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS.

PERFECT. AND THEN FINAL QUESTION, DOES ANNA CURRENTLY HAVE A WASTEWATER USAGE CAP FOR BILLING PURPOSES? SO WE DO. YES. IS IT BACK OR FORWARD? YEAH. IT'S BACK.

SO WE ALSO LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF OUR MEMBER CITIES.

OR NOT MEMBER CITIES, OUR SURROUNDING CITIES AS WELL.

WHO DOES WINTER AVERAGING, WHO DOESN'T DO WINTER AVERAGING. WE CURRENTLY LOOK AT, WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR THE FIRST 2000 GALLONS THAT ARE USED BY ANYBODY.

WE ONLY CHARGE FROM 2 TO 14,000 GALLONS. AND SO THE CAP IS 14,000 GALLONS.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF NEIGHBORS. MELISSA, THEY CHARGE FOR EVERY GALLON YOU USE ALL THE WAY FROM 0 TO 20.

MCKINNEY, THEY HAVE A GRADUATED SYSTEM WHERE THEY ACTUALLY CAP IT 8000.

YOU'VE GOT CELINA, WHICH IS 0 TO 5000. AND THEN THEY GO FROM 5000 UP AS A DIFFERENT RATE.

AND THEN VAN ALSTYNE, THEY HAVE A WHOLE SLEW OF RATES DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH YOU USE.

FANTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR, YOU KNOW, THE VISUALS HERE AS WELL.

I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR FUTURE CONVERSATION WHEN WE DIVE IN DEEPER INTO THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THIS IS PROBABLY A TERRI QUESTION. SURE. WHAT'S OUR BIGGEST RISK WITH THIS? THE BIGGEST RISK IF WE DON'T DO IT, MEANS THAT WE WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CONTINUE EXPANSION OF THE HURRICANE CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

OF COURSE, RIGHT NOW, OUR INTENT IS FOR IT TO BE A REGIONAL FACILITY.

I KNOW MOST OF US WEREN'T HERE. SOME OF US WERE.

SOME OF US WEREN'T. AND THEY DON'T REMEMBER THE DECISION POINT WE CAME TO TO BUILD THE HURRICANE CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

WE, AT THAT POINT, HAD THREE CHOICES. DO NOTHING, WHICH AT THAT POINT MEANT WE WERE PUMPING OUT OUT AT HURRICANE CREEK.

THERE WAS NO WAY TO TREAT WASTEWATER OUT THERE.

[00:25:03]

AND WE FEEL THAT WE MADE THE BEST CHOICE. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WILL EVER, QUOTE, REDUCE RATES, BUT WE ARE WITHIN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR LOOKING AT BECOMING THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, BRINGING OUR NEIGHBORS AND PARTNERS ON BOARD TO HELP US.

I MEAN, WE FRONTED THIS, BUT GOING FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING THEM IN AS PARTNERS TO HELP US AND HELP THEM. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SEE VAN ALSTYNE HAS A LOT OF CONCERNS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR WASTEWATER TREATMENT.

AND THAT'S. WHEN WE FIRST APPROVED THIS TREATMENT PLANT, IT WAS DESIGNED TO 80 MILLION GALLONS.

IS THAT CORRECT? 16. 16. 16. OKAY. SO THIS IS GETTING CLOSE TO WHAT WE ACTUALLY DESIGNED IT TO BE.

WE'RE GETTING THAT MUCH FURTHER. WE OPENED AT 0.5.

SO. YEAH. GO AHEAD. YEAH. SO WE ARE PERMITTED THROUGH TCEQ RIGHT NOW TO GO TO 16.

SO WHAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION IS, OR WHAT IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE IS A 0.5 500 000 GALLONS A DAY ABILITY TO PROCESS THROUGH WHAT WE CALL A PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANT. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING A 2 MILLION GALLON TREATMENT PLANT, WHICH IS WHAT A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO FINANCE, AND A LOT OF IT IS GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

THIS WILL ALSO, THE BONDS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT SELLING IN THE NEXT 45 DAYS IS TO TAKE THAT TO A 4 MILLION GALLON TREATMENT PLANT.

SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO NEED TO MAKE INVESTMENTS INTO THIS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

BUT AS TERRI SAID, WE CURRENTLY HAVE ONE MUD THAT IS IN OUR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF OUR ETJ, CAME INTO EXISTENCE A WHILE AGO. THEY ARE FINALLY GOING TO START SENDING US SEWER PROBABLY IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

SO WE ARE GOING TO START CHARGING THEM AT A RATE AND STARTING TO RECOVER THAT.

BY THIS TIME IN 2027, WE ANTICIPATE THAT VAN ALSTYNE IS GOING TO START SENDING US FLOW.

THEY ANTICIPATE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO SEND US UPWARDS OF A MILLION GALLONS A DAY PRETTY QUICK AFTER WE MAKE.

OR THEY MAKE THAT CONNECTION AND WE HAVE THE CAPACITY.

WE HAVE AGREEMENTS CURRENTLY WITH VAN ALSTYNE, WESTON AND TWO MUDS TO BE THEIR WASTEWATER PROVIDER.

SO THAT WAS MY FOLLOW ON QUESTION. IF WE HAD CURRENTLY HAD ANY OTHER REGIONAL CONTRIBUTORS TO THAT.

SO RIGHT NOW WE'VE BEEN FRONTING THE COST OF IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH OUR RATES CONSULTANTS RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THE RATE THAT WAS IN OUR ORIGINAL AGREEMENTS IS TOO LOW.

SO WE ARE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW PER OUR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO LET FOLKS KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE INCREASING THAT RATE SO THAT THEY CAN COUNT FOR IT IN THEIR BUDGETS, AND THAT WE WILL. THE THE POINT BEHIND THIS WAS ALWAYS TO CONTROL OUR DESTINY.

ONE OF THE SLIDES THAT I DON'T THAT I DIDN'T SHARE A MINUTE AGO THAT I THINK TELLS A LOT IS THAT SINCE 2022, OUR COST TO NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT PER THOUSAND GALLONS HAS GONE UP BY 62%.

IN THAT SAME TIME FRAME, WE'VE ONLY RAISED RATES THREE TIMES 2021 2022, AND THEN AGAIN IN 2024.

THEIR LARGEST INCREASE WAS BETWEEN 2024 AND 2025, WHICH WAS A 15% INCREASE.

WE DIDN'T RAISE THE RATES TO THE RATEPAYERS AT THAT TIME.

THEY ANTICIPATE IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT AN 8 TO 9% INCREASE THIS YEAR, YEAR OVER YEAR, BETWEEN 25 AND 26.

SO AGAIN, THIS WILL BE PART OF THE BIGGER DISCUSSION WHEN WE BRING IT TO YOU THEY'RE NOT TO TO BURY THE LEAD.

BUT THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR A RATE INCREASE.

BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE, A SIGNIFICANT ONE IN A FEW YEARS.

SO WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN, BUT AS WE GO THROUGH THIS SYSTEM, WE WILL BEGIN TO HAVE RATEPAYERS.

THEY WILL BEGIN TO HELP US CARRY THIS BURDEN, HELP US CARRY THIS DEBT SERVICE SO THAT IN THE FUTURE, WE ARE CONTROLLING HOW MUCH WE'RE SENDING TO NORTH TEXAS AND NOT HAVING TO CONTINUE TO COVER 1510,

[00:30:04]

IT'S NOT A NEGOTIATION. IT'S JUST THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE WE NEED TO OPERATE FOR NEXT YEAR.

AND THEY PASS THAT DOWN THROUGH THEIR CUSTOMERS, THEIR SISTER CITIES, THEIR MEMBER CITIES, ALL THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. SO, SO, SO BASICALLY, IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO LOWER THE COST OF WASTEWATER FOR THE RESIDENTS.

BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WITHOUT THIS PLAN IN PLACE AND MOVING FORWARD WITH IT LIKE THIS, WE'RE TRYING TO CONTROL THE INCREASE.

WE'RE TRYING TO CONTROL THE INCREASE YEAR OVER YEAR.

EVERYTHING COSTS MORE. AND AS WE DISCUSSED TONIGHT, CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE INCREASING YEAR OVER YEAR.

BUILDING OF THIS PLANT IS INCREASING YEAR OVER YEAR. BUILDING OF A WATER TOWER INCREASES YEAR OVER YEAR. WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE A DAY WHERE WE WILL REACH CLOSER TO BUILD OUT, WHERE WE WON'T NEED TO BUILD SUCH LARGE TRANCHES OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO PUSH THAT NEXT 2 MILLION GALLONS ON THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, MAYBE TWO YEARS.

WE'LL HAVE ALL THE WATER TOWERS IN PLACE, ALL THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

BUT FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS, AN INVESTMENT IN THIS WILL NEED TO BE HAD.

WE WILL BE LOOKING AT OUR RATES YEAR OVER YEAR.

ULTIMATELY, IT WILL BE YOUR DECISION WHETHER WE INCREASE OUR RATES OR DON'T OR WHAT WE DO WITH THEM.

BUT IT WAS NEVER REALLY INTENDED TO LOWER RATES.

IT WAS TO CONTROL OUR FUTURE. SO THIS ITEM IS FOR A NOTICE OF INTENTION FOR PUBLICATION.

SO THAT MEANS THIS IS GOING TO COME BACK. CORRECT.

CORRECT. AND THAT'S WHAT ANDRE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

IT'LL COME BACK IN AUGUST FOR YOU TO AUTHORIZE THE SELLING OF THE BONDS.

THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHEN WE DO PEDS. THIS IS JUST THE FIRST STEP IN THE BOND PROCESS.

YOU'LL COME BACK AND NEED TO ACT ON PERMISSION TO SELL THE BONDS IN AUGUST.

WILL THERE BE ANOTHER PRESENTATION AT THAT TIME? AND THERE WILL BE ANOTHER PRESENTATION IN JULY ABOUT THE RATES AS WELL.

SO A LOT OF WHAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT TODAY AND A LOT OF HOW THIS DEBT IS BUILT INTO THAT RATE MODEL WILL BE COVERED IN MUCH MORE DETAIL IN A MONTH.

THANK YOU. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE ANY RATE INCREASE.

I'M JUST. I MEAN, I KNOW THAT, BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT SO PEOPLE HEAR THAT.

YEAH. THANK YOU. COUNCIL, ANYTHING ELSE? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE. I'LL SECOND.

HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BAKER. SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERNDON, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM B.

CONSIDER. DISCUSS. ACT ON THE APPOINTMENT OF PRESIDENT OF THE ANNA PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION AND THE ANNA HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, MISS NATASHA ROACH. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL ACTING AS THE BOARD FOR ANNA PUBLIC FACILITY AND ANNA HOUSING. SORRY, LET ME TRY THAT AGAIN.

THE PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION AND THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION WITH THE EXPIRATION OF COUNCILMAN CARVER'S TERM.

YOU ARE ASKED TO APPOINT A NEW PRESIDENT TONIGHT TO SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF BOTH OF THOSE BOARDS FOR A FULL THREE YEAR TERM BEGINNING THIS MAY THROUGH MAY OF 2029. THANK YOU. WHO'S WHO'S VICE PRESIDENT. SO I'LL TAKE THE LEAD ON THAT.

SO BASICALLY THAT THE PRESIDENCY IS VACANT. I THINK THE DISCUSSION FOR THE FUTURE IS WHETHER WE NEED AN AFC PFC.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S HERE. WE'RE JUST GOING TO APPOINT A PRESIDENT.

SO I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE COUNCILMAN HERNDON AS THE PRESIDENT.

SECOND. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER.

WAIT A MINUTE. I'M NOT RUNNING THIS. I HAVE A MOTION.

YEAH. BY VICE PRESIDENT BAKER AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN TOTEN OR MEMBER TOTEN.

PUTTING A DIFFERENT HAT.

CONGRATULATIONS. I WILL REACH OUT WITH YOU TOMORROW AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF PRESIDENT.

FOR THE RECORD, IT PASSES SIX. NOTHING TAKES US TO ITEM C CONSIDER, DISCUSS, ACT ON APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND OR ASSOCIATED LIAISONS.

LET'S DO LIAISONS FIRST. OKAY. CAN WE JUST FOLLOW WHAT'S ON HERE?

[00:35:01]

EDC. CDC IS VACANT NOW THAT STAN CARVER IS NO LONGER ON COUNCIL.

ANY I SEE IS MANNY SINGH PARKS IS KEVIN TOTEN AND PNC IS MYSELF.

YEAH, WE'VE. THE WHOLE LIAISON WAS PUT IN PLACE A FEW YEARS AGO.

WE HAVE THEM. MAYBE THEY'RE NEEDED, MAYBE THEY'RE NOT.

I THINK EVERY ONE OF US UP HERE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE NEIGHBORS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

THE BOARD AND COMMISSION CHAIRS NEED TO RUN THOSE MEETINGS. DO WE FACE THEM OUT NOW? DO WE CONTINUE THEM FOR A WHILE? BUT MY GOAL WOULD BE TO JUST PHASE THEM OUT EVENTUALLY AND NOT NEED THEM, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT OUR JOB IS. I THINK WHAT HAPPENED A FEW YEARS AGO, BEFORE THINGS WERE RECORDED, BEFORE THINGS, THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT A VOTE THAT TOOK PLACE, AND NOBODY ON COUNCIL KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED OTHER THAN THE TYPEKIT MINUTES OF THE MEETING. IT WAS IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. AND IT WAS KIND OF THE, THE STAFF LIAISON.

I MEAN, WE HAVE A WHOLE NEW STAFF, RIGHT. AND ATTENDANCE.

WHAT WAS SAID, THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS WHY WE, WHY WE PUT IT IN PLACE.

IT WAS ALMOST YEAH, IT WAS NEEDED THEN, BUT I'M WITH YOU.

I DON'T, I THINK IT'S, IT'S, IT'S DONE ITS JOB AND NOT WE ALL GO TO MEETINGS WHEN WE SEE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN OR NOT INTERESTED. SO THE QUESTION IS WE MAKE AN INTENTION TO PHASE IT OUT.

DO WE CONTINUE WITH IT FOR A WHILE? I MEAN. I THINK IF YOU DON'T SEE THE NEED, WHY KEEP IT? AND DO WE NEED TO MAKE THAT A MR. OVER CAST A VOTE THAT WE JUST END THE LIAISON PROGRAM? YOU COULD ABSOLUTELY TAKE ACTION HERE ON THE DAIS UNDER THIS ITEM TO DIRECT STAFF TO COME BACK OR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO, YOU KNOW, TO DISCONTINUE THE PROCESS OF DESIGNATION OF FORMAL LIAISONS.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES A PARTICULARLY FORMAL ACTION, I DON'T THINK, BUT WE CAN PAPER IT UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WILL BE SUITABLE FOR RECORDING THE MINUTES TO MEMORIALIZE THE ACTION. YEAH, I MEAN, I WOULD IF SO, NO MOTION IS NEEDED, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST WE JUST END IT.

I WOULD STILL RECOMMEND YOU DO TAKE IT. I'LL I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE END THE THE LIAISON PROGRAM OR THE CHAIR.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. THANK YOU.

DID YOU GET THAT GRACE? ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO END THE LIAISON PROGRAM BY COUNCIL MEMBER TOTEN.

SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER BAKER, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.
