[II) Citizen Comment Period with City Council]
PASSES SIX ZERO. ALL RIGHT, UP NEXT, WE HAVE CITIZENS COMMENTS. THE CITY COUNCIL WELCOMES COMMENTS FROM THE CITIZENS. THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK ARE ENCOURAGED TO SIGN IN BEFORE THE MEETING BEGINS. SPEAKERS MAY WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DURING THIS TIME PERIOD ON ANY AGENDA, ITEM OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS, AND WE ASK THAT YOU OBSERVE THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT. I DO WANT TO SAY THERE.I'M AWARE THAT THERE'S GOING TO. THERE MAY BE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE YIELDING THEIR TIME TO OTHER PEOPLE. AND SO JUST TO BE AWARE. ALL RIGHT. SO UP FIRST WE HAVE JACK PARROTT.
UP ANOTHER $36,000 SINCE LAST TIME I TALKED TO YOU. AND THE AMOUNTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN OVERCHARGED SINCE DAY ONE BY THE CITY OF KYLE, NOT HONORING OUR DEVELOPER AGREEMENT. THIS SCAM JUST CONTINUES TO GROW LEGS AND GET BIGGER AND BIGGER EVERY DAY. AND WE'RE NOT GOING AWAY. WE HAVE ACQUIRED LAWYERS AND WE HAVE FACILITATED FUNDING, BUT WE'RE HOLDING OFF WAITING ON THE PUC AND MAYBE GOOD MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
REQUIRING MR. LANGLEY TO HONOR THE VALID DEVELOPER AGREEMENT, WHICH THEY PRETTY MUCH HONORED UNTIL A YEAR AGO. THEY'RE HARASSING OUR DEVELOPER, TRYING TO EXTORT HIM INTO CHANGING THE AGREEMENT. IT'S NOT WORKING. THE PUC WILL VOTE NEXT THURSDAY ON THEIR APPEAL TO HAVE THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT THROWN OUT. AND OF COURSE, WE WILL ARGUE OUR CASE AT THAT TIME. I DON'T THINK THEY WILL SUCCEED IN THEIR VENTURE. BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.
JUST KEEP IT IN YOUR MIND. THERE'S PEOPLE SUFFERING OUT THERE IN THE WHOLE ETJ THAT ARE PAYING EXORBITANT AMOUNTS OF WATER PRICES. THE LADY MESSENGERED ME THIS LAST WEEKEND CRYING ON THE PHONE BECAUSE SHE GOT A $700 WATER BILL AND CANNOT PAY IT. SHE'S GOT FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN AT HOME, HER AND HER HUSBAND AND FOUR KIDS, AND THEIR WATER BILL WITH NO IRRIGATION IS $700 A MONTH. AND THERE'S SOME THAT ARE EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT, WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND, BUT. MY WATER BILL WAS JUST ME AND MY WIFE. AND ABSOLUTELY NO IRRIGATION IS 300.
IT RANGES 275 TO 300 UNDER, UNDER 4000 GALLONS A MONTH, AND WE PAY $300. AND THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE GARBAGE. THAT'S ON TOP. THE THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL AND THE CITY MANAGER HAVE MADE KYLE UNAFFORDABLE. YOU KNOW, AND THEY'RE VERY TALKS ABOUT ALL THIS GROWTH THAT'S GOING TO COME. WHO'S GOING TO COME. HIGH TAXES HIGH WATER RATES. KYLE IS NOT AFFORDABLE. THANK YOU.
[00:05:11]
THANK YOU. NEXT I HAVE EDWARD COLEMAN. OKAY. JUST TO PREFACE, I'M GOING TO SINCE YOU HAVE A POWERPOINT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO A MANUAL THREE MINUTE TIMER. SO I'LL GIVE YOU LIKE A HEADS UP WHEN IT'S THREE MINUTES. AND THEN I BELIEVE YOU SAID YOU MAY NEED TO YIELD SOME OF YOUR TIME TO HIM. ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. MY NAME IS EDWARD COLEMAN. I GO BY THE NAME OF RICK. I'M AN AUTHORIZED MEMBER OF FM 158 LAND LIMITED, WHICH IS THE ENTITY THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY AT I 35 IN HARRINGTON ROAD. I'M HERE TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT I AM WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU, YOUR STAFF, AND THE CITY LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE DONE FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS. I NOTICED YESTERDAY THAT ON YOUR ON YOUR AGENDA FOR YOUR EXECUTIVE SESSION TODAY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DISCUSS, I GUESS, MY LAND OR FM 158 LAND, WHICH I'M THE GENERAL MANAGER OF. AND I JUST NOTICED THAT THE BOTTOM OF IT, IT SAYS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO TALK IN EXECUTIVE SESSION ABOUT MAYBE PURCHASING THE LAND OR CONDEMNING THE LAND FOR A WATER SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THE CITY ABOUT FOR AT LEAST FOUR YEARS. IT'S BEEN IN THE PROCESS FOR SIX YEARS, BUT I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT FOUR YEARS AGO. NOW THE CITY, THE CITY WANTS FM 158 TO DONATE THE LAND FOR THE FOR THE DRAINAGE DITCH. THIS DRAINAGE DITCH IS ENTIRELY LOCATED WITHIN HAYS COUNTY JURISDICTION. WE ARE CONCERNED BY THE CITY'S ATTEMPT TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY FOR STORMWATER DIVERSION THAT SERVES THE LASALLE MUD. THE ENTITY OPERATING OUTSIDE OF THE JURISDICTION. THIS ALL STEMS FROM A DECEMBER 15TH, 2020 CITY COUNCIL MEETING WHERE YOUR CITY MANAGER AT THE TIME, SCOTT SELLARS, CONVINCED THE CITY COUNCIL TO SIGN TWO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS. ONE WAS FOR THE SPOONER TRACT AND ONE WAS FOR FOR LASALLE, AND ONE WAS FOR THE CITY TO BUILD BERMS TO DIVERT WATER ONTO MY PROPERTY. AND AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND IT. WE COULDN'T FIND IT AGAIN, BUT WE DO HAVE COPIES OF IT. THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. AND IN THE MEETING, IT TALKS ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DIVERT THE WATER AND FUNNEL IT DOWN ONTO MY PROPERTY. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT TWO YEARS LATER AND COMPLAINED AT THE TIME. THE AND AND THAT PROJECT BECAUSE IT GO FORTH ROAD I THINK NOW HAS CHANGED AND IT INVOLVED IN FROM IT EVOLVED FROM NICE BUILDINGS LIKE THREE BERMS THAT RUN THE WATER ONTO MY PROPERTY NOW TO, TO JUST POINT SOURCING THE WATER ONTO MY PROPERTY. THEY HAVE THE, THE, THE DEVELOPER OVER THERE HAS ALREADY BUILT THE STRUCTURE TO JUST LIKE LOOKS LIKE A CAN AND AIM IT AT MY PROPERTY TO RUN IT DOWN THERE. OKAY, THAT'S THREE MINUTES. GO AHEAD. YOU WANT ANOTHER THREE TAKE YOU THREE MINUTES. OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. THE CURRENT PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE OR CONDEMN THE LAND FOR A REGIONAL STORMWATER CHANNEL. THE CHANNEL PRIMARILY SERVES AN INTEREST OF LASALLE MUD WATERSTONE DEVELOPERS RAISING A CRITICAL QUESTION. WHY IS THE CITY OF KYLE ASSUMING THIS RESPONSIBILITY AND THIS COST? I'M ALSO NOT SURE WHY I HAVE BEEN DRAGGED INTO THIS EITHER. IT'S COST ME A LOT OF ATTORNEY'S FEES OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT APPEARS THE CITY IS ACTING UNDER THE 2020 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, THOSE AGREEMENTS ARE CURRENT AS CURRENTLY DESIGNED. WOULD VIOLATE THE TEXAS WATER CODE, WHICH IS 11.0 86. SOURCING AND DIVERTING WATER ONTO A ONTO ANOTHER ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER'S PROPERTY. BASED ON OUR CURRENT ASSESSMENT, THE FINANCIAL BURDENS THIS PROJECT PLACES ON THE TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF KYLE ARE SUBSTANTIAL. THE ACQUISITION OR THE CONDEMNATION OF 14 ACRES, WHICH COMPRISES THE SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE MATERIALS ESTIMATED TO COST WOULD. MY ESTIMATE THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH CONDEMNATION BEFORE, AND I THINK I CAN GET BETWEEN 15 AND $20 MILLION FOR THAT PROPERTY IF YOU GO IF YOU ALLOW THEM TO START THE CONDEMNATION WITHOUT COMING TO ME AND TALKING TO ME. SO WE HAVE WE HAVE THESE DIFFERENT,[00:10:12]
DIFFERENT THINGS UP HERE, THIS, THIS, THIS ONE THAT'S UP NOW SHOWS HOW THE SPOONER TRACK THEY BUILT, THEY WERE TO BUILD A, A DIVERSION BERM THAT RUNS THE WATER DOWN. AND THEN THE OTHER PART OF THE GREEN LINE THERE THAT GOES TO THE SOUTH IS THE QUAIL RIDGE BERM. AND THEN THIS LASALLE BERM RIGHT HERE IS THE WAY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO FUNNEL THE WATER ONTO MY PROPERTY. AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE ONE THAT'S UP NOW, THIS WATER IS IS ALWAYS GONE TO THE EAST ON THIS PROPERTY, THIS LINE, THE TOPO SHOWS CLEARLY THE FORK CREEK DRAINING TO THE EAST ON THE LASALLE PROPERTY. AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THESE AT THE LASALLE BERM HERE, EVEN THEIR ENGINEER, THIS IS THEIR ENGINEER'S DRAWING. EVEN THEIR ENGINEER CALLS THE LASALLE BERM A DIVERSION BERM. IT'S AGAINST THE LAW. SO I FEEL LIKE THAT THAT I SENT A MONTH AGO. MY ATTORNEY SENT SOMETHING TO THE CITY, AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM ABOUT COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION. I'M WILLING TO WORK WITH THE CITY, BUT IF IF THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK AND THEY WANT TO CONDEMN THE PROPERTY OR THEY WANT TO TRY AND BUY IT FROM ME, THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO START WITH THE CONDEMNATION, JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, AND I APPRECIATE IT. I'M HERE TO WORK WITH THE CITY. I'VE ALWAYS DONE IT. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN YOU CAN ASK, YOU CAN ASK THE CITY STAFF EVERYTHING. EVERY TIME SOMEONE HAS ASKED ME FOR SOMETHING, I'VE GIVEN IT TO THEM. EASEMENTS, PIECES OF PROPERTY, WHATEVER THEY'VE NEEDED. SO I'M JUST. I'M HERE TO WORK WITH YOU, NOT AGAINST YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. UP NEXT, I HAVE VIC ALLEN. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M HERE AGAIN. AS JACK SAID, WE'RE NOT GOING AWAY. IT ALWAYS AMAZES ME THAT PEOPLE WITH ABOVE AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE CAN MAKE SUCH STUPID MISTAKES. WHEN I FIRST SUBMITTED RESEARCH TO THE CITY REGARDING THE QUESTIONABLE WATER USAGE OF CERTAIN HOMES THAT WERE IN THE SUBDIVISION, WHAT I GOT BACK WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS UNTRUE. LAST WEEK, KUSHI, WHO ALSO LIVES PERHAPS 6 OR 10 HOUSES UP THE STREET FROM US, ASKED THE CITY FOR THE SUBSTANTIATION OF THE 120% WATER RATE INCREASE. CAP. IN WHICH SHE GOT BACK WAS A REFERENCE TO A BLACK HOLE WHERE NOTHING EXISTED. ANOTHER LIE LARRY GARLICK HAS AT LEAST TWICE ASKED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT CERTAIN OVERRIDES REGARDING THE CITY CHARTER AND PARAGRAPH 50 AND THE ORDINANCE, AND WHAT HE GOT BACK WAS GIBBERISH AND MORE GIBBERISH. I WONDER HOW LONG CITY COUNCIL CAN CONTINUE TO REGARD ANYTHING THAT AMY REID SAYS OR RESPONDS TO AS FACTUAL, WITHOUT MALICE OR IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF KYLE. I'M ASKING FOR HER IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL, AS SHE HAS SHOWN OVER AND OVER AGAIN, HER INCOMPETENCE AND DISHONESTY REGARDING HER POSITION. THE CITY OF KYLE IS NOW PAYING TAXPAYER MONEY AND WATER REVENUE MONEY TO HAVE GOSLING ARGUE AGAINST THE INCLUSION OF THE SIX CREEK DEVELOPER AGREEMENT AS EVIDENCE IN THE JUSTIFICATION OF OUTRAGEOUS WATER INCREASED BILLING, AND FURTHERMORE HAS COMMITTED SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR REWRITING AND OVERRIDING CITY DOCUMENTS. YOU AS CITY COUNCIL, HAVE A CHOICE BEFORE YOU ACT WITH INTEGRITY OR ENDORSE THE OPPOSITE. ON A FINAL NOTE, I HOPE THE COUNCIL IS PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS LEGAL BATTLE WITH THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT ON SIX CREEKS, BECAUSE I ALSO EXPECT YOU TO NULLIFY BRIAN LANGLEY'S CONTRACT AS WELL. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UP NEXT. I HAVE LARRY GARLICK. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS LARRY GARLICK. I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE OF THREE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED THAT I BELIEVE THE COUNCIL SHOULD BE AWARE OF BEFORE GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. NUMBER ONE HAS TO DO WITH ITEM 21 ON THE SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2025 AGENDA, WHICH WAS PASSED ON CONSENT AGENDA 7 TO 0, ACCORDING TO THE VIDEO. ALTHOUGH IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE MINUTES, IT PASSED SIX ZERO AND IT WAS A FIRST READING, SO THAT DIDN'T[00:15:01]
ACTUALLY PASS, BUT IT WAS ATTESTED TO BY CITY SECRETARY AND SIGNED BY MAYOR TRAVIS MITCHELL AT THE TIME. SO FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS IT SAT ON THE BOOKS. I BROUGHT THAT TO THE ATTENTION OF COUNCIL ON FEBRUARY 3RD, BOTH HERE AND VIA EMAIL ON FEBRUARY 9TH, THAT ORDINANCE 1381 DISAPPEARED FROM THE BOOKS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS TO REMOVE AN ORDINANCE, EVEN IF IT WAS VOID AT SOME POINT. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU KNEW THAT 1381 WAS REMOVED, BUT IT SEEMS ODD THAT WITHOUT. BECAUSE I HEARD NOTHING ABOUT IT GOING AWAY, IT JUST. I NOTICED ON THE WEBSITE IT WAS GONE. THEN I FOUND OUT EIGHT DAYS AFTER IT WAS REMOVED, A NEW ORDINANCE WAS PASSED DEALING WITH ZONING AND LANDSCAPING AND SETBACKS THAT BECAME LAW AS ORDINANCE 1381. NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT BECAUSE AS YOU MAY KNOW, I'M ARGUING IN FRONT OF THE PUC AND I'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED ORDINANCE 1381 AS EVIDENCE. IF THE PUC WERE TO GO OUT TO THE CITY OF KYLE WEBSITE TODAY AND LOOK UP ORDINANCE 1381, THEY WOULD THINK I'M CRAZY BECAUSE THAT'S A LANDSCAPING ORDINANCE. I'M CURIOUS WHAT THE STANDARD IS FOR NAMING ORDINANCES OR KEEPING THOSE NUMBERS. AND IF THEY ARE AVOIDED, HOW CAN THEY BE REMOVED FROM THE CITY'S CODE COMPARATIVE CHART? JUST JUST GONE. SECOND, AT SOME POINT IN TIME BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH 3RD, AGAIN, RUN THE PUC, A RATE APPEAL THAT'S PENDING THE CITY'S PUBLISHED CODE FOR CHAPTER 50, SECTION 23 AND 24, SECTION B ON BOTH OF THOSE CHANGED. DID YOU GUYS VOTE ON A CHANGE TO CHAPTER 50? I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING ANY PUBLIC COMMENT OR PUBLIC VOTE ON THAT, BUT IT CHANGED IN THE CODE. AND I'VE GOT THE PROOF RIGHT HERE.FROM 23 B THE LINE THE VOLUME RATE FOR ALL CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS ARE 1.2 TIMES THE AMOUNT FOR CUSTOMERS INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. THAT WAS STRUCK MARCH 3RD, 2026. DID YOU VOTE ON IT? INTERESTINGLY, ADDED TO THAT SAME DOCUMENT IS A CITATION FOR ORDINANCE 673 THAT HADN'T BEEN THERE. THIS THIS HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR 15 YEARS, BUT THIS ORDINANCE WAS ADDED AS BEING PROOF. THAT THIS IS LAW. NOW, I FIND IT ODD THAT THIS IS THE SAME EVIDENCE THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY PRESENTED TO ME IN AN EMAIL BACK IN FEBRUARY. BUT JUST BECAUSE SHE PRESENTS IT AS EVIDENCE DOESN'T MAKE IT LAW. THIS WAS CHANGED WITHOUT THIS COUNCIL'S NOTICE OR APPROVAL, I WOULD IMAGINE. OKAY. THANK YOU. UNLESS SOMEBODY WANTS TO YIELD SOME TIME. OKAY.
CAN YOU WILL YOU FILL OUT A CLIENT? OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. CAN YOU START THE CLOCK AGAIN, PLEASE? SO YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS COUNCIL MEETING COMING UP. ITEM NUMBER 17. IT IS ESSENTIALLY A REDO OF ITEM 21 FROM SEPTEMBER. WHICH ITEM 21 WAS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE CHAPTER 50. THANK GOODNESS FOR US. IT DIDN'T PASS, BUT THEY'RE BRINGING IT BACK THIS TIME. AND THE INTERESTING THING IS THEY'VE REMOVED TWO OF THE SECTIONS FROM CONSIDERATION.
CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THOSE TWO SECTIONS MIGHT BE? IT'S THE TWO THAT THEY'VE ALREADY REPLACED IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS WITHOUT A COUNCIL VOTE. NOW, I'M NOT ASSERTING THAT ANY OF THIS WAS INTENTIONAL, BUT THE EFFECT OF THESE ACTIONS WILL ALTER AND OBSCURE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE BEFORE REGULATORY TRIBUNAL. TRIBUNAL IN AN ACTIVE PROCEEDING. I HAVE NO ACCESS INTO. ANY. ONLY ACCESS I HAVE IS PUBLIC DOCUMENTS. AND THESE PUBLIC DOCUMENTS HAVE CHANGED.
I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO INTERNAL SYSTEMS THAT THE CITY HAS. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S AN ARCHIVE OF IT. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS IF THE PUC DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO IT AND THEY WERE
[00:20:01]
TRYING TO USE THE CITY'S PUBLIC FILES, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CORRELATE THE CHANGES MADE IN THE CODE TO ANYTHING WRITTEN IN THE CODES. THE CODES CHANGE LOG OR THE CODES COMPARATIVE TABLE, BECAUSE IT WASN'T RECORDED IN THE CODES COMPARATIVE TABLE. AND THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW WHEN THINGS OCCUR. BUT IT WASN'T RECORDED, BUT IT WAS CHANGED. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NEXT I HAVE LARRY STAMPS, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MADAM MAYOR. HOW ARE YOU ALL? HOPE YOU'RE DOING REAL WELL. I'VE COME ON BEHALF OF THE VFW TONIGHT. IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE VFW POST 12 058, WE'RE OUT AT 107 VETERANS DRIVE, ALMOST IN DOWNTOWN CAIRO. WE CALL IT DOWNTOWN, BUT IT'S IT'S PRETTY CLOSE. A LOT OF YOU I'VE SEEN OUT THERE, SOME OF YOU I HAVEN'T USUALLY I'M THERE ON FRIDAY MORNINGS AT BREAKFAST. AND I WANT TO TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT. EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS COMMUNITY, INCLUDING COUNCIL MEMBERS, ARE INVITED.AND THE MAYOR, DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOU ALL ARE INVITED TO COME OUT EVERY FRIDAY MORNING AT 8:00. WE RUN IN FROM 8 TO 9, 930. SOMETIMES WE TRY TO SHUT DOWN BEFORE 930, BUT IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. WE AS A VETERANS AT THE VFW POST AND THE COMMUNITY WHO HELPS US MAKE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THIS COMMUNITY, WHETHER YOU ALL SEE IT OR NOT. WE HAVE A COMMUNITY CLOSET. WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH RED CROSS, AND WE'VE DONE A LOT OF INTERESTING, FUNDAMENTALLY LIFE CHANGING THINGS FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE. WE RESPOND TO FIRES, WE ARE RESPONDING TO DISASTERS NOW. I MEAN, WE HAVE REALLY GROWN. AND I, AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU ALL OUT FOR BREAKFAST. NOW, I BROUGHT MY AGENDA BECAUSE I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU ALL WOULD CONSIDER WITH A VOTE TO MOVE ITEM NUMBER 21 ON THE 7:00 REGULAR MEETING TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. WE HAVE A LOT OF VETERANS WHO WILL PROBABLY BE HERE, AND I DON'T THINK THEY WANT TO SIT HERE UNTIL MIDNIGHT OR 1:00 TO SEE WHAT THE OUTCOME IS. SO I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU ALL CONSIDER MOVING THAT UP TO A CLOSER TIME TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING.
THANK YOU AGAIN. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERY ONE OF YOU OUT THERE AT BREAKFAST AT THE VFW.
THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. UP NEXT, I HAVE HOWARD CONNELL. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
GOOD EVENING. WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TONIGHT IS KIND OF TOUGH BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF PERSONAL, BUT SINCE AROUND DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, I HAD SENT AN EMAIL TO RECENTLY ELECTED COUNCIL PERSON ZAPATA ASKING FOR A MEETING JUST TO DISCUSS SOME CITY BUSINESS. I HAVEN'T HEARD NOT ONE IOTA OF A SQUEAK FROM HER. I FEEL EXTREMELY DISRESPECTED BY YOU, AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE. OKAY? ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO BRING UP IS THAT YOU VERY PUBLICLY OFTEN REFER TO IMMIGRANTS. I'M. WHY ARE YOU SMIRKING? I'M THE SON OF AN IMMIGRANT THAT CAME TO THIS COUNTRY IN 1915 FROM GREECE. AS A CHILD, HE WENT THROUGH ELLIS ISLAND. HE BECAME A LEGITIMATE CITIZEN. WHEN YOU SPEAK ABOUT IMMIGRANTS, I WANT YOU TO TELL EVERYBODY, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ILLEGALS? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LEGITIMATE IMMIGRANTS? BECAUSE WE'RE ALL PRACTICALLY IMMIGRANTS HERE ANYHOW, YOU'RE VERY CAGEY AND CLEVER, YOUR ACTIVISM. OKAY, BUT I'M ON TO YOU. I'M GOING TO STAY ON YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE DISRESPECTED ME. YOU GET NOTHING MORE FROM ME. OKAY? SO JUST BEAR IN MIND I'M COMING AFTER YOU. I'M REALLY UPSET WITH YOU. YOU ARE NOT A PUBLIC SERVANT. YOU ARE AN ACTIVIST.
USING KYLE AS A STEPPING STOOL FOR YOUR POLITICAL CAREER YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE. I'M GOING TO GO INTO NEXT WEEK OR NEXT MEETING INTO WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING 100 PEOPLE HERE, AN HOUR AND A HALF'S WORTH OF BS ON ICE. OKAY. WHY ARE YOU SMIRKING? I'VE HAD
[00:25:10]
ENOUGH OF YOU FOR TONIGHT. BUT I'LL BE BACK. OKAY? THOSE ARE ALL THE FORMS I HAVE. IS ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK BEFORE WE GO INTO EXECUTIVE? ALL RIGHT. YOU'LL GET ANOTHER[III) Executive Session]
CHANCE AT 7:00. SO FOR NOW, THE CITY WILL NOW GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS AGENDA ONE A THROUGH I PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, SECTIONS 551.071551.072 ANDGOOD EVENING.O ACTION TAKEN IN EXECUTIVE AND THERE WILL BE NO ACTION NOW. SO WE'RE GOING TO ADJOURN. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GIVE ME JUST* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
