JUST TO KIND OF KEEP THAT OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY.
UH, NEXT ITEM DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION.
UH, REGARDING THE FIVE-YEAR FISCAL FORECAST GOALS AND POLICIES, MARK, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS IS, UH, JUST MORE OF, OF A, A SHORT DIRECTION.
UM, THE FISCAL FOR THE FISCAL ROADMAP THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IS, IS A CRITICAL PIECE OF STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR US.
SEVERAL OF THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING BACK, UM, IN THE NOVEMBER TIMEFRAME ARE A, A POLICY DISCUSSION AROUND, UM, PROPERTY TAX, A POLICY DISCUSSION AROUND FEES, UH, FINES AND OTHERS IN THE COST RECOVERY AROUND THOSE.
UH, AND DEVELOP SOME, UM, POLICIES AROUND THAT AS WELL.
AND THEN ALSO A DI UH, A DISCUSSION AROUND EXPENSES AND A, UM, A TERM OF FREQUENCY THAT WE WOULD USE TO BRING BACK, UM, DEPARTMENTS AND EXPENSES IN A WAY THAT HELP US STRATEGICALLY REVIEW THOSE, UM, KIND OF FROM THE GROUND UP, UH, UH, ON A PERIODIC BASIS.
SO MY REQUEST TO YOU IS THAT, UH, YOU ALLOW STAFF TO GO OUT AND DO SOME SURVEYING OF OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES AS FAR AS THEIR POLICIES.
BRING THAT BACK FOR Y'ALL AS, AS A WAY OF, UH, HAVING A PRIMER.
NOT NECESSARILY DICTATING THAT WE NEED TO SELECT ANY OF THOSE, BUT REALLY BRING THAT BACK AS A WAY TO START THE CONVERSATION WITH COUNSEL OF SHOWING WHAT, UH, THEIR POLICIES MIGHT BE TOWARDS PROPERTY TAX, TOWARDS FINES AND FEES AS WELL AS EXPENSES THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE AS A GUIDEPOST FOR THAT FISCAL ROADMAP.
BUT OUR GOAL IS TO ACTUALLY BRING THAT BACK, HAVE A, A WORK SESSION ON THAT, AND THEN HOPEFULLY GET DIRECTION THAT WE COULD FORMALLY ADOPT, UH, SOMETIME AFTER THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
SO IF COUNCIL IS AMENABLE TO THAT, WE WILL PROCEED IN THAT DIRECTION AND, UM, AND BRING BACK SOME OF THAT SURVEY INFORMATION HERE, UH, IN THE NOVEMBER TIMEFRAME.
UH, I'M CERTAINLY, UH, GOOD WITH THAT.
I, I THINK THAT'LL BE A GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER AS WE'RE DOING THAT SURVEY OF WHAT OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES ARE DOING.
I WAS WONDERING IF WE MIGHT ALSO, UH, INCLUDE HOW THE STATE OF TEXAS DOES THEIR, THEIR BUDGET AND, YOU KNOW, THE, THE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, POPULATION GROWTH PLUS INFLATION THAT'S TYPICALLY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF EVALUATED THERE.
YOU KNOW, JUST THROW THAT INTO THE MIX FOR THE CONVERSATION.
WE WILL, WE WILL LOOK AT, AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, UM OH, FANTASTIC.
SO WE'RE, WE'LL LOOK AT COUNTIES, CITIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WE'LL LOOK AT EVERYBODY TO SEE, SEE WHAT SOME OF THAT SURVEY INFORMATION MIGHT BE, JUST IN CASE THERE'S SOMETHING CREATIVE OUT THERE THAT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST TO THE COUNCIL.
I THINK THAT SOUNDS FANTASTIC.
UH, ITEM FIVE, CONSENT AND REGULAR AGENDAS.
ANY ITEM, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE ITEM SIX, COUNCIL ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION AND FUTURE AGENDAS.
MR. MAYOR, UH, COUNCILMAN RICK DELEY.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, PUT, UH, UH, AGENDA ITEM ON FOR OUR NEXT MEETING TO, UH, HAVE A PERSONNEL DISCUSSION ON BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
I APPRECIATE, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
I APPRECIATE YOU REMINDING US OF THAT.
WE'LL, SHE'LL, SHE'LL HAVE IT ON THE AGENDA.
THAT WAS JUST ONE THAT NEEDED TO BE, UM, MENTIONED.
