“No, we don't need a motion. It was pulled, buddy. And so we need no motion there. Any other changes? That's it. Okay. So the next portion of the meeting is the consent agenda, which contains items that have been determined to be routine and non-controversial. If anyone in the audience wish to address a particular item on the consent agenda, now is the opportunity for you to do so. Additionally, if staff or members of the City Council wish to speak on a consent item, they have the same opportunity. The consent item for consideration tonight is item one through five. Anyone wish to have any…”

“Well, let me start with, you know, yes, I voted for this resolution back in 2023 and everything, but here's something I guess I need everybody to understand. In 2023, we hired a professional company organization to come in and do a rate study on our utility rates. At that time, our utility rates hadn't seen an increase. They haven't did too much with our utility in about 15 years, I think it was at the time. So they came in, and their recommendation was basically what we voted on and what we presented was their recommendation based upon the fact that our infrastructure, wastewater…”

“No. I'm asking, one other question I'm asking you, are this council ready to reverse the decision that was made by the previous council? Is that what we're looking to do here today?”

“Okay. Am I on the question I asked? And then if that's what we're doing, the next question I have is, if that's the case, where did the money come to operate with?”

“As I stated earlier, this wasn't just done out of nowhere. It was done because of professional advice we received from a professional company, which we are doing the same thing right now, getting professional advice. It wasn't up to staff to sit down and determine these rates and everything. This is what we recommended through a professional company. One of the other things I need to add here is that the fact is we were sitting here, and one of the things I found when I came in, I was told that we need to improve our wastewater treatment plant. However, it was operating at 97% of the time.…”

“Right. Well, I understand that we take that chance if we do this. And I just finished like this and said, basically, you know, I sit up here as elected official, and sometimes we have to make tough decisions when it comes to these type of things. And that's part of our job, and that's what we were elected to do. When I voted to do this, guess what? It didn't just increase your rate. It increased my rate, too, because I'm a resident as well. And I'll be honest with you, I'm one of those that complain about my rate. I saw an increase, but still, I understood what went on there, and I asked…”

“But they didn't get a variance. Yeah, they asked for some variances, but I don't sit here and try to prove a variance on what they donate or whatever. And you can't. Well, one of the things I always ask, what is the give back to the community and everything? When you come in here, I'm not a... Well, I hate for developers. I don't like developers coming here and developing and just run off. What else are you going to contribute to the community rather than just do your development and leave us high and dry to take care of everything? Okay.”
