It's an honor to be a part of Congresswoman Dela Cruz's team and serve South Texans. As the first Hispanic Republican woman to represent Congressional District 15, the Congresswoman Dea Cruz has been a tireless advocate for her district whose legislative efforts are a testament to her dedication. One of the key issues she has focused on is supporting our brave Border Patrol and Custom Officers. She introduced HR1 1916, the Pay Our Border Patrol and Customs Agents Act, ensuring that Border Patrol and Customs officers receive their paycheck regardless of a government shutdown. To support our economy and agriculture, Congresswoman Dea Cruz fought to secure 750 million investment from the USDA to combat the new world screworm. Additionally, she introduced bipartisan legislation holding the Mexican government accountable for its non-compliance of the 1944 water treaty. To further support South Texans, she secured 280 million in aid for farmers affected by this water crisis. Our team is working hard every day to deliver results. So far, we have helped save over 12 million for local constituents and more than 700 constituents with their federal concerns. Whether you are navigating issues with the VA, Social Security, or the IRS, we are here to help. Thank you again for having me, Mayor Garza and Council.

Yes, please. Thank you. Thank you, Chief Torres, the Honorable Lori Garza, city council members, and my families that are here present. Gracias. Thank you for the proclamation. Recognizing September 25th is a day of National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims. Your support means more than just an expression for these families and survivors. This proclamation is a powerful reminder that your city sees us, your city hears us, and your city joins us and stands with us at all times. 14 years ago, my life transformed forever changed the family Garcia family when my brother Roelo Roger Garcia was murdered on September 13, 2011. My inspiration at that time was my mother, Dalia Rosa Garcia, which I made a promise to her that I would be the voice of my brother, not knowing that I was going to have extended family and friends as they stand with me. That pain could have broke me, could have broken the family. But she asked me, "Find your purpose, son. Find that purpose." As I found the purpose and I besides my families that are here next to me, they carry the same heartbreak and they build a community, a friendship that goes beyond the trial. No survivor should grieve alone. What the journey of grief has taught me in the last 14 years, love never dies. The empty chair never becomes less empty.

But we do not grieve alone. Even in sorrow, we found courage to live wa one day at a time. Today proclamation is a piece of more than just a piece of paper. It is a declaration the city council and the city mayor proclaims with the chief compassion, remembrance, hope, and unity. and we prepare the 13th annual candlelight vigil for September 25th between 6:00 and 8. We light a candle and speak their name of those that we remember. And I will do a roll call on my victims. Roel Roger Garcia, Jolissa Soro, Rael, George Toar, Ephraim Garcia, Danielle Vega, Julio Cesar Variel, Alfredo Octiviveros Jr., Augustine Molina, Magdalena Canu, Rebecca Lee Canu, Wendy Escoedo, Hernardo Aparicio, Eric Sanchez, Kevin Martinez, Estean Fernandez, Juan Manuel Maris, Ever Islas Jr., Julio Cesar Sto Jr., Juan Nava Ernnandez, Nareda Clet Ortiz, Corpal Jose Luis Speedita, Espirita and Serio Torres. Every candle we will carry the name. Every name carries a story and a tragedy behind it. And together we will lift the legacy. As long as I breathe and I'm the founder of this organization and I have the support of my family members that are here, I will continue to fight. On behalf of the family and friends and survivors, thank you again, mayor, for

your opportunity to be here and stand with you. It's an honor. The city council members as well. You are the pillars of this community, but you show us the pillar of compassion, the pillar of remembrance, the pillar of unity, and more importantly, the pillar of justice for all. God bless you.

The first uh case is a resoning from agricultural uh district to light industrial district. This is a 30 acre tract along military highway and mayberry road. Um the zoning is agricultural. There's a proposed industrial development. Uh this property is just out of the battery storage facility. Uh to get to it, you have to get on Mayberry survey picture of the property with a reszoning sign. And as shown in the previous cases, the future expressway uh 365 cuts through this property. So, like in the previous recommendation, we we recommend that the area in gray be uh when they go through the subdivision process that they make the area in gray as a lot of record and that they do not build on it so that the RMA can purchase the the land uh from the developer. That's just a recommendation. Uh we do have a representative from the RMA here with us, Mr. Alfaro, in case you have any questions. So that shows that's from the RMA website showing the future expressway running through the middle of the property.

This went before planning and zoning commission. No one spoke in opposition and they recommended approval unanimously. Okay. Is there anyone here that would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the resoning request? Anyone here that would like to speak in favor or in opposition? And I guess we don't have anybody online.

That's right. Okay. Okay. All right. There being uh no comments if I may. I would like to ask Mr. Al to see if the if he can come up here. Okay. I want to ask him if the environmental

assessment is completed in this section of roadway. Yes. So, uh, for this project, the environmental assessment was completed all the way to Conway, uh, on 2015, and we did an environmental refresher on 2022. So, it's environmentally clear.

Next item is a uh this one is a down zoning from general business district to single family uh residential district. This is for a property off of an alley on Green Lawn Drive uh between Losanos and Washington. It's just north of business 83. Uh there's a lot of residential homes in the area. So that whole block got some commercial some time ago. Uh so this uh applicant has this vacant property and he would like to build a house in in his property. So that's the zoning, that's the subject property. Uh so it's the only vacant track in that in that block, the survey, the picture of the property with our resing sign, the comprehensive plan. Uh we did have some uh one property owner speak in opposition during the planning and zoning commission meeting. Uh the planning and zoning commission recommended approval uh with a 4 to1 vote.

Okay. Yeah, just one one board member was not not in agreement. What was the person opposing? What was he's a I think he's a business owner uh to the east and he just wasn't in agreement. But this property um the only access is off of Green Lawn Drive which is an alley. So that's really the only feasible use for the property is to have a a home and to the west and to the north is all residential homes. Um so it's just it's just the only visible option and the owner he own he purchased the land and he would like to build his house in in his property.

Okay. Is there anyone here that would like to speak in favor or in opposition to the request? You would uh state your name and address for the record please.
