Top issues during term (20)
Capital Improvement Program for water, wastewater, and drainage
$175,000 contract cost; the plan itself will shape future capital spending and possible bond elections.
Robert McCain public records grievances
Comprehensive master fee schedule
Dozens of fee increases — pavilion rentals doubling, a $700 cleaning fee added to civic center rentals, $150 processions — hitting residents who use city facilities and permits.
FY 2026-2027 Property Tax Rate
The rate drops about 1% from roughly 0.42, and new construction adds about $38,000 in revenue.
Water Conservation Plan adoption
Mostly absorbed in the existing budget, though a second consultant study would require a budget amendment.
FY 2027 draft budget
Total budget of about $23.46 million, including $7.77 million general fund and $3.8 million water fund revenues.
Events Center remodel
$506,800 approved now for design; roughly $6.2 million in construction likely paid through debt around 2029.
Peanut Festival council participation
The city provides funding to the Peanut Festival, reportedly reduced this year.
Council comments removed from meeting agendas
Tiger Lane rezoning for commercial use
A zoning change could raise the value of the four lots and affect nearby property values — both up and down.
city manager termination
A city manager dismissal could involve contract termination costs, though none were disclosed.
Council rules of conduct and decorum overhaul
Political sign regulations
No permit fee is charged for political signs.
City takeover/integration of FEDC functions
FEDC pays the city $48,000 a year for administrative services; speakers questioned where FEDC sales tax revenue goes.
Automated license plate reader cameras
Grant-funded installation, but it's an ongoing subscription service whose future cost was not quantified.
C Street bond project funding shortfall
Taxpayers are still paying interest on the bond with the final street and water line phase unfunded.
Texas Water Development Board Financial Assistance
Grant application approved; the city confirmed it can fund its share of the proposed project if awarded.
Water and sewer rate increase reversal
Residents' bills had roughly doubled or tripled; the reversal restores old rates for 90 days, but the city manager warned the underlying infrastructure costs remain and a bigger increase may come.
City employee compensation and classification plan
Already built into the FY 2027 budget; specific cost not itemized at the meeting.
Health insurance and employee benefits program
Estimated $102,000 annual savings, about $125 per employee per month.
