[8. CONSIDER RATIFYING THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE REFLECTED IN THE FY2026-2027 BUDGET]
CONSIDER RATIFYING THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE REFLECTED IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 2027 BUDGET.AND ONCE AGAIN, MISS JEWELL, THANK YOU SIR. SECTION 102.007, SUBSECTION C OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, STATES THAT ADOPTION OF A BUDGET THAT WILL REQUIRE RAISING EVEN $1 MORE IN REVENUE FROM PROPERTY TAXES THAN IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR, REQUIRES A SEPARATE VOTE OF THE GOVERNING BODY TO RATIFY THE PROPOSED INCREASE REFLECTED IN THE BUDGET. THE VOTE IS IN ADDITION AND SEPARATE FROM THE VOTE TO ADOPT THE THE BUDGET OR A VOTE TO SET THE TAX RATE. THE PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 IS A DROP OF 0.6% AND IS AT 47.00 $0.08 PER $100 VALUATION. AND WE SEEK YOUR APPROVAL ON THIS. THANK YOU, MISS JEWELL. COUNCIL. MAYOR, MOVE APPROVAL.

[9. HOLD PUBLIC HEARING FOR PROPOSED AD VALOREM TAX RATE]
AND MOTION APPROVED. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ITEM NUMBER NINE IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR[00:10:05]
PROPOSED AD VALOREM TAX RATE. WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND, MISS JEWELL.THANK YOU. SIR, THIS IS I'M SORRY, JUST ONE MOMENT. THE BUDGET JUST APPROVED WAS BASED ON A TAX RATE OF 47.00 $0.08 PER $100 VALUATION. THIS IS A DECREASE OF 0.638 $0.06 PER FROM THE CURRENT TAX RATE. OOPS. LET'S SEE HERE. OH SORRY. MY SLIDES DIDN'T START. APPARENTLY THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE THERE. OKAY. THIS THE CITY'S TOTAL OPERATING REVENUES PROJECTED FOR 27 IS $64 MILLION. PROPERTY TAXES PROVIDE 42% OF THE GENERAL FUND REVENUES. NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE FOR THE TAXES. TAX RATE FOR 2026 WILL RAISE THE SAME AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUE FOR FISCAL YEAR FOR THE CITY OF EULESS, FROM THE SAME PROPERTIES IN BOTH FISCAL YEAR 25 AND 26. THIS IS 46.458 $0.06 PER $100 VALUATION. THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE IS THE HIGHEST TAX RATE THAT THE CITY MAY ADOPT WITHOUT HOLDING AN ELECTION TO SEEK VOTER APPROVAL OF THE RATE, AND THAT IS AT 47.00 $0.08 PER $100 VALUATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 27, OUR TAXABLE ASSESSED VALUES INCREASED BY $304 MILLION, OR 4.86%, TO A TOTAL OF $6.56 BILLION. THIS INCLUDES $86 MILLION OF NEW CONSTRUCTION. THE CITY'S TAX RATE HISTORY HIT A HIGH IN 1994 OF 61.8 $0.06 PER $100. VALUATION AND TAX RATE IS LEVIED IN TWO COMPONENTS. THE FIRST IS INTEREST IN SINKING, WHICH IS REQUIRED TO BE LEVIED AT A RATE SUFFICIENT TO PAY OUTSTANDING AND PROPOSED DEBT. THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION COMPONENT IS THE PORTION AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES. BOTH COMPONENTS OF THE TAX RATE ARE BEING HELD RELATIVELY FLAT AND CONSTANT. THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE DECREASED AGAIN FOR THIS UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR, FROM 339,000 TO 333,000 FOR 200 FOR 2026. WITH OUR HOMESTEAD 20% HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, A HOMEOWNER WILL PAY $376 FOR EACH $100,000 OF VALUE AND AN AVERAGE HOME VALUE OF THAT 333,000 THAT I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT, $1,252 AT THE PROPOSED RATE OF $0.47. THIS IS $104.38 PER MONTH, OR $3.43 A DAY. THIS DOES GET THE CITIZENS OF EULESS 24 HOURS. POLICE PROTECTION AND SERVICE, 24 HOUR FIRE AND AMBULANCE SERVICE, 24 HOUR A DAY ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES. ACCESS TO OVER 300 PARK ACRES, 17 PARKS, SEVEN MILES OF TRAILS AND OVER 93000 HOLD NUMBER OF HOLDINGS AT THE LIBRARY AND OVER 357 LANE MILES OF STREETS.
IN ADDITION TO THAT 20% HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, THE CITY PROVIDES 35000 SENIOR CITIZEN EXEMPTION. THEREFORE, EACH $100,000 WORTH OF VALUE. A SENIOR CITIZEN HOMEOWNER WILL PAY APPROXIMATELY $211 PER YEAR, OR $17.63 PER MONTH. THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN IS 314,000, WHICH AT THE PROPOSED RATE WOULD BE $1,016.50 PER YEAR OR $84.70 PER MONTH. THIS AMOUNT MAY BE FURTHER REDUCED TO THE FACT THAT THE EULESS HAS PASSED A FREEZE ON SENIOR CITIZEN TAXES. THIS MEANS THAT WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL REACHES THE AGE OF 65, TAXES WILL BE FROZEN AND THE CITY CITIZEN WILL NEVER PAY MORE THAN THAT FROZEN AMOUNT FOR THEIR EXISTING HOME. THE CITY IS JUST ONE OF THE TAXING ENTITIES INCLUDED ON THE OVERALL TAX BILL. THE CURRENT TAX RATE FOR ALL ENTITIES FOR 2026 IS $1.97 PER $100 VALUATION FOR THOSE CITIZENS LIVING IN HEB ISD, AND A LITTLE MORE THAN $1.80 FOR THOSE LOCATED IN THE GRAPEVINE-COLLEYVILLE ISD. SCHOOL DISTRICTS REPRESENT THE LARGEST PORTION OF THE TAX BILL. USING HEB ISD AS AN EXAMPLE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT REPRESENTS 52% OF THE CITIZENS TAX BILL, 24% IS FOR THE CITY AND 24% IS FOR THE COUNTY. BUT THE COUNTY DIVIDES IT UP 10% FOR THE THE COUNTY, 8% FOR THE HOSPITAL AND DISTRICT, AND THEN 6% FOR THE COLLEGE DISTRICT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RATE ONLY. THIS IS THEIR RATE ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THEIR EXEMPTIONS OR EXEMPTIONS. IN CLOSING, THE CITY BUDGET WAS PASSED ON, DECREASING THE TAX RATE BY THAT 63.638 $0.06 TO 47.00 $0.08 PER HUNDRED DOLLAR VALUATION. WE HOPE THAT OUR CITIZENS WILL FIND THAT THE AVERAGE TAX BILL OF $104 PER MONTH REPRESENTS A
[00:15:05]
GOOD VALUE FOR THE CITY SERVICES AND AMENITIES AT THIS TIME. WE'D LIKE TO SUBMIT THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 2027 PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND COUNCIL CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU, MISS JEWELL. WE ARE IN A PUBLIC HEARING, SO I'D ASK IF THERE ARE ANY PROPONENTS FOR THE TAX RATE. IF THERE ARE, PLEASE COME UP FRONT. SEEING NONE, ARE THERE ANY OPPONENTS FOR THE TAX RATE? I SEE CONVERSATIONS GOING ON. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE WILL[10. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 2458]
CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE WILL GO TO ITEM NUMBER TEN, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 2458, ADOPTING THE AD VALOREM TAX RATE FOR 2026. AND MISS JEWELL, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY NEED FOR YOU TO COME BACK UP ON THAT SINCE WE JUST DISCUSSED IT. COUNCIL. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAX RATE BE INCREASED BY THE ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE OF 47.008 $0.00 PER $100 OF ASSESSED VALUE, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 1.1% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE BY ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 2458. MAYOR, I SECOND THAT MOTION. MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER STARKE, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM BYNUM. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. THE MOTION PASSES. WERE THERE ANY COMMENTS BY THE COUNCIL? I WILL I WILL SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, HATE IS USUALLY A STRONG WORD, BUT WE HAVE TO WORK WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK THAT THE STATE PUTS US IN. AND LEGALLY, THEY'RE TELLING US THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE THIS NOTICE THAT THE TAX RATE HAS INCREASED BY 1.18%. BUT IN REALITY, THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER BILL IS DECREASING FOR THE CITY OF EULESS. WELL, NOT ONLY THAT, THIS HAS BEEN MY PET PEEVE. FOR 19 YEARS I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS. THE TAX RATE DID NOT INCREASE. YES, TAX DOLLARS WILL BE MORE THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE TAX RATE WENT DOWN AND UNFORTUNATELY OUR POWERS THAT BE IN AUSTIN DON'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH OR GRAMMAR. AND IT IS NOT AN INCREASE WHEN YOUR TAX RATE GOES DOWN. BUT AGAIN THAT'S JUST ME AND WE'LL MOVE ON. ITEM NUMBER 11 IS TO[11. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 2459]

[15. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
JANINA, YOU CAN SIT DOWN NOW. THANK YOU. NOW IS OUR TIME FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS. AND I KNOW WE HAD. RORY LEHMAN. OKAY. I KNOW I GOT BAD HANDWRITING IF YOU GIVE HIS NAME AND ADDRESS AND KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES UNLESS THEY'RE VERY COMPLIMENTARY AND THEN YOU CAN JUST KEEP GOING ON. OH, OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MY NAME IS RORY LEHMAN, 4901 CANYON TRAIL NORTH. AND WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WITH THE CITY IS ON THE HARWOOD AND MAIN INTERSECTION. THERE'S NO WATER AT THAT PLANET FITNESS. AND MY CONCERN IS I WENT TO THEM. I ASKED THEM, HEY, IT'S BEEN ABOUT A WEEK. NO WATER. THEY HAVE A PUBLIC RESTROOM OFF TO THE SIDE, RIGHT? THE THING IS, INSTEAD OF CLEANING THAT LITTLE TEMPORARY RESTROOM, THEY'RE SHUTTING IT DOWN. SO THE MEMBERS THAT GO THERE, THEY DON'T HAVE THEY HAVE FOUR RESTROOMS. WHEN I WENT THERE ON SUNDAY MORNING TO WORK OUT, THEY ONLY HAD THREE RESTROOMS. THEY ONLY HAD ONE RESTROOM AVAILABLE. I WENT INTO THAT RESTROOM BECAUSE I USE IT REAL QUICK AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HEINOUS. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. THAT PLACE HAS NO WATER. WHEN I WENT BACK INTO PLANET FITNESS TO ASK HIM, HEY, WHEN IS THE WATER GOING TO BE FIXED? THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T GOING TO BE FIXED FOR ANOTHER MONTH, SO I JUST AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH HAZARDS TO NOT HAVING WATER ON THAT LITTLE COMMERCIAL. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE PROPERTY MANAGER'S JOB TO HANDLE THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS. THEY SAID THEY'RE WAITING ON A PART THAT WAS GOING TO TAKE A MONTH TO GET. I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO. I'M SURE THERE'S SOMETHING WE COULD DO HERE, BUT I FEEL IF WE PUT PRESSURE ON THAT PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, THEN THAT MONTH TIME SPAN CAN TURN INTO MAYBE A WEEK TIME SPAN. OKAY. STATE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW US TO RESPOND TO YOU DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ON THE AGENDA. OKAY. BUT IF YOU'LL HANG AROUND AND TALK TO CHIEF LANDERS WITH THE HAND UP BACK THERE, HE WILL SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS. OH, OKAY. I GOT A LOT OF THEM. THAT'S WHY HE HAS THE BIG HAT. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? SEEING NONE.[16. REPORTS]
