This is very interesting.

Here is the key here for. Please.

Counselor, would you please use the bravery? Please.

In the name of Jesus, here we come. First, just to say thank you. Lord, help us to work together in order to conduct the city business. Bless all the citizens of Bastrop, Morales Parish, and just the country and worldwide. Thank you for blessing us, Lord. Thank you for keeping us. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Amen. Amen.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to her Republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I'd like to come in and say that it relates to any matter of the agenda. Anybody on the agenda got anything? Anything on the agenda you want to speak on? All right. You want to speak on? You want to speak on? I'd love to come in and relate to any matter on the agenda. Do you want to? Okay. We're going to bring it up. I'm sorry about that. We're going to bring it up for each item. So you can see it closer. Okay. Thank you. Yes, sir. Mr. Anderson.

I don't know, for a resolution 26-21-39. I need some clarification on this right here. We can revise this or not in regards to fairness expenditure.

We got some funding. I'll answer for you. We got some funding from JRF $69,000 to do 2.2 times that condition in Dawson Park. So we got to bring them before the council so they can vote on it and we can spend the money as soon as they get them. Okay. Okay.

May this council put in the item five through eight and D with the address on it. Appreciate it very much. Thank you. Appreciate it, Mr. Anderson.

Yes. Okay. I think it's just clear. Bring back up the adjudicated properties and all that. Yes, correct. The votes are for the resolutions. I adopt resolution 26-2139.

Good evening, Mr. Chairman, Pro Tem members. Rick Smith, the Office of the Mayor. Again, these are revisions to the 2026-27 general fund budget. Again, like I indicated before, during the budget process, Whenever we get 1 time funding, that's not a recurring. That we are appropriated 1 time that we receive the money. Like the mail alluded to, we got. Actually 2 grants 1, both grants are for, I mean, for park recreation. The main 1, which is the 1 that's most press. This is the 1 for 69,000 dollars for. Again, those are for upgrading the HVAC to 20 ton units. And again, I think the mayor has the contractor, the vendors ready to go as early as this week, probably tomorrow or Friday to start on it, which is needed, especially with the heat index being in triple digits. So again, members of the appropriate tunnel access should pass this revision. to the budget and again we had questions i kind of outlined it um and again moving forward we're going to separate the real current revenue from the non-recurrent revenue and at the end of the budget you'll see what it's actually spent on and line it up so you'll see dollar for dollar before it is so moving forward that's what we're going to do um and we probably could have waited just because he for the budget authority. Because again, this is to give the administration budget authority to spend money, because again, it's increasing the revenue and the expenditure cap goals. And it's still within, it's not within the 5% variance, so we didn't have to react.
