As if I was dressed badly. Ready for the golf course.
Did you do the fundraising?
I didn't see the heat. I haven't played golf in a while. Yes, indeed. And I'm glad I didn't hear that it was terribly hot. Lindy, make the call. I'm...
I'm the mayor of Crane. I'm the councilor of Copenia.
I'm Bezerra. I'm... Ren. The first thing I'd like to do is announce that we've hired Zacchella. He started today in the Department of Streets and Water. He's worked for DMS Palla for the last two or three years and he's a good hire. Today I went down to the well and I didn't have to say anything about what was going on. So it's a good thing. The first thing is the resolution 2026-3, the indefinite fiscal and political plan for the annexation by ordinance 2026-6 of about 200,000 euros. Everyone should have a copy of it. The tax plan indicates more or less who owns the lots, it indicates all the contents of the lots and... ...decides which services are available and who pays for the services. It is super voluntary and therefore the infrastructure services will be paid by the developers, by more developers. Well, after having had the petition and the evidence, I can ask a question. Who would it be? I don't know if it's legitimate.
Who is number 15? Is this the name?
Would you like to indicate someone?
I think it is.
Well, I think it will probably be him to own the property of the bank, which is, yes, it will be him. At the moment, Security Ventures could and will probably be Longview Banks. A new transaction that has not been recorded. When will it be time for us to vote again? I also have a question. As soon as you left the clubhouse and the goal field, an apartment appeared in front of you.
What would have happened?
That is Chelsea Paddock for her business. Padwells management, financial heritage and CPA business. She will work with Amy Hay in her CPA business. So when will Amy go to retirement? The current one. Chelsea's office is nearby. some other questions otherwise I would evaluate a motion well I just want to clarify some things because this part refers specifically 26.6 on which we haven't voted either. We haven't voted on any of them. Exactly. But we have to.
Before approving the resolution.
We have to first approve the resolution.
So I make a motion to approve the resolution.
One second. I support it. Three. Two.
Three. Cathy. I support it. Paula. Motion.
Approve 50 to approve the resolution 2026-3. The final policy of the fiscal plan for the admission. Well, with this... I guess we have to... get rid of 4. Since it was updated with the 26.6. So we have to get rid of 4 by pushing it. I don't think it was ever voted. You think it was voted? I can't do what I'm saying. We don't have to act on merit. Because it was read as if...
If no motion has been presented.
Let me go and see what 2026 is. I don't think we ever did anything. I think we nominated her first at the meeting and then in... We didn't take any initiatives.
No, don't worry about number 4.
The existence of number 4.
because we got into a fight to give the number so we must not free ourselves to be able to consider the number 6 no it was a different number the number 4 was a different order from the moment it exists no action has been taken about it, we must not postpone it what do you think Aaron? because we did not vote I mean the cleanest thing would be to simply withdraw or postpone it it is not the union from what I understand some of the property owners Since then this proposal has changed, this petition that was approved more than 14 days ago.
We didn't even present it.
We didn't present the number 4. It was different.
It was a different number.
I mean, the number 4 is a different order number. Here, my concern is that we are taking the risk of continuing with the new order numbers. With those existing instead of modifying the order that We have 2026.4.
This is the law on the parity of treatment of allotments.
Cracked before everything was ready.
And then we withdrew it because we didn't even present the petition. So 24.024.4 has been completely modified. This module does not exist. What are you saying?
The law on the parity of treatment of lodging. This does not exist.
So my concern for number 6 is that we have not linked the linked A and B. A is linked. It was the request. The original petition.
The petition that was received before the hearing for... ...a couple of weeks ago.
Let's go back to the original petition. We received it two weeks ago. Yes, two weeks ago we received a petition. The petition was... ...present. I've been doing this for... six weeks. But that petition has not been modified, it has changed since we changed it. No, the new petition contained petitions. So that magazine about... what he's talking about. But what are you talking about? About her...
It wasn't linked to what I sent you today for the order, it's in your legacy. It was in your admonition hearing.
as part of the petition I have, whether or not it is tied. This is the map. Is it tied? There is a map there. Well, this is the map of zoning. What was originally distributed to us was 2026.4. Well, to simplify things, A is the allegation B that we can examine.
They didn't send it to you via email? 2026-6 was just the same order. It doesn't exist.
You received the petition six weeks ago. The petition, but the petition with the legal descriptions of recurrents has changed.
Well, I certainly received it.
Nothing, the original distribution. I have it. I have this original petition, but it's the original one. Take it. Leave it. Take it.
I think it was the original.
Original.
It has been modified.
This is dated. 27th of July. It has been updated. This is what they say. The legal descriptions and the names of the recurrents are different.
Because they didn't include Elmore or...
Reynolds. I don't know. And this petition that is distributed on the 730, as you are saying, is only the A-alleged. There is no B-alleged. It must be the one you found. Now, on the 2026-4, which she says has been modified since then. I have an A and a B, but I repeat, they are so old that they have been updated. We have nothing to update. And since it is now part of what we have just approved for... The resolution must be... They should be linked, shouldn't they? He says yes. What do you have? It should be linked to the diary. Oh, Quistad.
Oh, God.
What is the date, Brad?
There is no date. That would be the order, the most recent order proposal. So the one that followed the petition that was initially approved at the last meeting. This is labeled as updated, which has just been delivered to me, it has not been distributed before now. Because everything I have that shows something about link A are all legal descriptions and parts and the thing has been modified and we have not made a link B with a map. And if it must be included as part of the resolution that also includes this order, then they must be linked. I agree. That's the old date of... July.
30th of July. It was also given to us.
This is also the old one. She just gave it to me. If they are included, we must include them.
Hai detto che gli Elmore non erano inclusi. Sono del... Sono su questo.
Dal 30 luglio.
Erano... Pagino. Mercedes. That one should have been presented on August 27th. I didn't participate in that one.
Reynolds. I know Linda sent you the order. I know Linda sent you the order. I know Linda sent you the order.
I know Linda sent you the order. I know Linda sent you the order.
I know Linda sent you the order.
I know Linda sent you the order.
I know Linda sent you the order. I know Linda sent you the order.
I know Linda sent you the order. I know Linda sent you the order. All of you? Are you all in that petition we're talking about?
I don't know what you're talking about.
27... 27 July, how? No, no, that was in May.
Linda sent it to us via email, 30 July.
Then we took it off. So it was the petition, right? No, we took it off. It wasn't on that one. It had to be.
We're looking at it. Original.
Returning to the original petition, because I thought it had been modified compared to... I thought that. I think there were too many going back and forth. The petition related to the petition presented on the 27th is the amendment. This is the most recent. There are two requests. Starkey should not be a school. We should include packages starting from Elmore. And then others in Moores, and then the city of Sinton, and then the Sinton Community Foundation, the West End Indian Community Foundation, the Elman Fishelby Trust, and then the TBA for the other package.
What date has been modified?
So, in reality, it has never been modified. There was the previous petition, as part of the previous one, we will call it "-4", which in reality has never been proposed, but has never actually been voted on, and then it has never been presented before.
It was a petition that was on the "-4".
Correct. And this has changed for the "-6". This petition is completely separate. Completely separate from the correct line.
When you find the copies, just give me three copies. 20266 for your vision.
Everything we're thinking about. I have nothing.
As long as we have to tie it.
I'll take it.
We'll tie the right one.
Benz 666. Lean on it.
It doesn't work. I think he said that the office... It's a strange building, though, because I can't hear you from that office in there.
You can't hear what's going on in here. But if you guys cook or, you know, take the tests when you enter from that main door, I can smell it. But we can't smell it in our...
It's the strangest thing in the world.
This wall extends higher.
is so strange I want to say I can't do it when I'm there behind I could roll sometimes they extend me higher the voice of john cross is heard in a strange way I imagine that someone is talking and you can't hear when you go inside there is someone in the meeting you can't hear but now I feel you Okay.
I print it like this, everyone will have a copy after the meeting. So, the next thing I had after our last meeting was a team call with Claim Peter Construe Consulting and Aegis for the administration of the constructions and the administration of the subsidies.
a water project that you are talking about.
It was the water project I talked about last time. I think we have to approve them. Their explanation was that they had to establish the minimum import that we had to do to satisfy Oprah and they explained to me what their responsibilities were and they told me that they had established the maximum imports So I thought that, you know, and I told him, I told him that I don't think anything like that will work. There are not many things that will be discussed on the subsidy and on the material, on the quality of the material, on the brand. We have to do it or we will have a black eye with the other. Now, the biggest thing we can hope for is a low offer that will allow us to double of what they are doing. So I still think that if we could replace the conduct from the Pozzi field, from the other side of the second street river, it would probably be the best thing we could do to help with the water supply. So the customer will be responsible for the supply request Yes, he will take care of all the subsidies. No, Eghis will take care of the supply request. He will take care of all the supply management. Peter will take care of the prosecution or the management of the subsidies. So I think we agree with these things and we will be able to obtain subsidies in the future and continue with this, it is hoped, only by replacing more conducts.
He does it.
He also cleaned up the Third and Fourth Streets from the environmental point of view. So if we wanted to change and do something on the Third and on the Fourth, it would be okay to do it. So I would also like him to clean up the river, where we could pass that conduct if we had enough money. To clean up the environmental point of view. To clean it up from the environmental point of view. And it will be 2,500 euros more.
I need a motion to approve the agreement.
Techni, first of all, I would like to approve the administration of Mike Klein-Peters' subsidies for the Klein-Peters consultancy.
I make a motion to approve the agreement for the administration services of professional subsidies. Is that the one you're referring to?
I think there were different inputs. It's 65,000 dollars. Yes, and I have to say that it's right. I built the EMS building for the county in 2011 and it's in line with what was planned by the grand administration. in terms of the percentage of the subsidy yes he had ten projects and eight of these were financed so he is definitely the right person to go with and I have a second that the motion passes 5 with the client charged peter construct contract for engineering services for the total is the maximum total of 133,000 and is in line with the import of the subsidy that they would normally receive. This is the maximum they will receive. I was pretty tough with them in the call of time. I think they will do a good job and we hope to get a lot more than the minimum. Emotions of merit. I want to thank Erin Spelarich for coming tonight for all the work she has done on the admission and thank you all. I have nothing else. That's all we're going to do tonight.
I just wanted to say that my mother-in-law, Joanne Irwin, was missing yesterday. She was a 16-year-old housekeeper. So, another of those things my mother used to do. Then, of course, Joanne stayed for 16 years, then Debbie Gurley, and now me. So, I just wanted to say it. And put it verbatim, because sometimes it is necessary to recognize it.
Thank you for today. It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you all for being here.
Thank you.
