[5. Receive a presentation for Tickets On The Go, an eCitation smartphone app, to be used by police officers for fast, accurate, and secure electronic citations. ]

ITEM NUMBER FIVE, RECEIVE A PRESENTATION.

PRESENTATION FOR TICKETS ON THE GO ON E CITATION SMARTPHONE APP TO BE USED BY POLICE OFFICERS FOR FAST, ACCURATE, AND SECURE ELECTRONIC CITATIONS.

CHIEF KEMP, MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TIM, REAL BRIEF PRESENTATION TONIGHT FROM TICKETS GO.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN IN THE CONVERSATION FOR A GOOD WHILE AND I HAVE TALKED EXTENS AND, UH, SHE'S COMPLETELY ON BOARD WITH THIS PROGRAM, OUR TICKET SOFTWARE THAT WE'VE BEEN USING FOR MANY YEARS.

AND OUR TICKET RIDERS ARE KIND OF ANTIQUATED AND OUR TICKET WRITERS NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THEY'RE BULKY, CUMBERSOME, AND THEY ARE REALLY NOT CONDUCIVE TO PUBLIC SAFETY OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT TAKES AND EVERYTHING TO DO THAT.

UH, IT'S BEING PAID FOR OUT OF, UH, AS ALWAYS BEEN PAID FOR OUT OF COURT TECHNOLOGY FUND.

IT WOULD STILL CONTINUE TO FUND TICKETS.

US ON THE GO.

WE'VE RECEIVED AN EXTENSIVE PRESENTATION FROM THIS FIRM, THIS COMPANY, UH, PLEASED WITH IT.

EVERYBODY'S ON BOARD.

PAULA'S ON BOARD CHARLES, WHO HAS OUR CURRENT TICKET RIDERS AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

HE'S ON BOARD.

IT TALKS TO EVERY, I CAN'T GET IN THE TECHNICAL PART 'CAUSE DON'T COMPLETELY THINK I CAN EXPLAIN IT.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE TONIGHT, WE'VE INVITED REPRESENTATIVE FROM TICKETS ON TO GO TO COME AND GIVE YOU A BRIEF.

THAT WAY HE CAN EXPLAIN IT FROM A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL.

HE KNOWS, YOU KNOW, AND YOU CAN ASK HIM QUESTIONS THAT I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE THE ANSWERS TO.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, IF YOU ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

THANK YOU MAYOR, FOR HAVING US HERE.

UH, WE'VE, UH, ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS BACK, MYSELF AND MY CO-FOUNDER, UH, CHIEF MIKE RETIRED, CHIEF MIKE WILSON, OUT OF KELLER, GOT TOGETHER AND WE WANTED TO CHANGE A LOT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I GOT TO KNOW HIM ABOUT 20 YEARS BACK WHEN HE WAS MY CUSTOMER.

AND WHAT, UH, WHAT WE REALIZED OVER OUR, A FRIENDSHIP GREW OUT OF THAT.

AND, UH, UH, HE, HE GOT OUT AND RETIRED AND SAID, WE WANT TO CHANGE HOW LAW ENFORCEMENT, HOW ALL THE OLD TECHNOLOGY THAT'S OUT THERE THAT HE WAS FRUSTRATED WITH OVER THE YEARS, THAT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY AND PROVIDED LITTLE SUPPORT OR CHANGE AS, AS THE WORLD CHANGES.

AND HE WANTED TO PARTNER WITH ME.

AND WE, WE GOT TOGETHER, CREATED NEW AND BLUE.

AND, UH, IT, IT'S BEEN PHENOMENAL BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE CHANGED, UH, THE WAY, UH, A LOT OF THE SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY WORKS TO, TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR THE OFFICERS AND THE, AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, FOLKS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR IT.

IT GOES ALL THE WAY, NOT ONLY FOR TICKET WRITING, BUT ALSO HELPING THE DEFENDANTS OR THE VIOLATORS TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS WITH THE CITY LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD.

SO WHAT WE CREATED IS AN APP THAT RUNS ON ANY CELL PHONE, ANY SMARTPHONE, ANY ANDROID, ANY, UH, ANY DEVICE, UH, MDTS IN THE CAR.

SO IT WORKS ON ANY DEVICE.

IT DOESN'T NEED A $2,000 TICKET RIDER, WHICH IS WHAT, WHAT USED TO BE THE STANDARD.

UH, IT DOESN'T NEED A PRINTER, SO YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO PRINT THE TICKETS.

UH, WHAT WE CREATED IS A, A METHOD WHERE, UH, THE OFFICER WRITES A TICKET ON HIS PHONE.

UH, OFFICER HAS A STACK OF THESE CARDS IN THEIR POCKET.

EACH ONE OF THEM HAS A UNIQUE QR CODE ON THEM AND WRITES THE TICKET, SCANS ONE OF THESE CARDS AND HANDS IT TO THE VIOLATOR.

WHEN THE VIOLATOR SCANS IT, AN INTERACTIVE VERSION OF THE TICKET SHOWS UP ON THEIR PHONE WITH THROUGH WHICH THEY CAN CLICK AND THEY CAN PAY AND THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF WHATEVER BUSINESS THEY NEED TO DO.

WHETHER IT'S PLEAD GUILTY, NOT, NOT GUILTY, NO CONTEST.

UH, ALL OF THAT IS POSSIBLE

[00:35:01]

ONCE THE TICKET IS ON THEIR SMARTPHONE.

UH, WE HAVE, UH, WE LAUNCHED THIS ABOUT A YEAR BACK, UH, THIS PARTICULAR FEATURE, AND WE THOUGHT, WELL, IT'LL TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE WE CAN HAVE ABOUT A DOZEN CITIES SIGN UP.

THE WORD GOT AROUND AND WE ARE ALREADY IN ABOUT 25 CITIES WITHIN THE FIRST EIGHT MONTHS OF, OF US INTRODUCING THIS.

AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO THE CITY OF WILMER POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR, UH, RECOGNIZING HOW, HOW GREAT THIS TECHNOLOGY IS AND MAKING IT EASIER AND SAFER FOR THE OFFICERS.

'CAUSE THE OFFICER DOESN'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THEIR CAR TO PRINT A TICKET ANYMORE.

BUT THEY CAN STAND RIGHT THERE.

THEY CAN SCAN THE DRIVER'S LICENSE, THE REGISTRATION STICKER.

THEY CAN TAKE UNLIMITED VIDEO, UNLIMITED PICTURES, UH, AND WRITE THEIR TICKET, SCAN THE CARD, HAND IT, AND THEN GO BACK TO THE CAR.

SO THAT MAKES IT ALSO EASIER, UH, SAFER FOR THEM.

UH, SO THAT'S, UH, UH, JUST, UH, A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT, WHAT WE HAVE, UH, CREATED AND WHAT THE CITY OF WILMER, UH, IS LOOKING TO GET, UH, UH, FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, FOLKS, UH, READY FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

IT, IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT ABOUT OUR SENIOR CITIZENS WHO MAY NOT HAVE A PHONE.

UM, I KNOW IN A COMMUNITY LIKE OURS, WE DO HAVE SOME SENIOR CITIZENS THAT DON'T HAVE A, A PERSONAL CELL PHONE.

AND THEN ALSO YOU'VE GOTTA UNDERSTAND, SOMETIMES THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT, WELL, WHAT DO I DO? OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

RIGHT? SO WHAT, WHAT HAVE CITIES DONE IN OTHER PLACES? SO, UH, YEAH, SO A MIXED BAG OF THINGS.

UH, FIRST OF ALL, WE ARE COMPATIBLE WITH PRINTING.

SO THEY CAN STILL PRINT A TICKET AND DO IT.

WHO IS THEY? THE, THE LAW, THE, THE POLICE OFFICER CAN STILL PRINT THE TICKET.

IF, IF THEY, IF THEY WANTED TO STILL PRINT A TICKET, THEY CAN.

SO IT'S, IT DOESN'T STOP THEM FROM PRINTING A TICKET.

THEY CAN STILL PRINT A TICKET.

THIS IS FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT SAY, WELL, UH, I CAN SCAN, SCAN A CARD, AND I CAN, UH, I WOULD RATHER HAVE, HAVE THE TICKET THAT WAY.

WE ALSO TEXT AND EMAIL THE TICKET TO THE PERSON.

BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.

UH, UH, THEY CAN STILL PRINT THAT TICKET IF THEY WANTED TO.

AND THERE ARE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CARD, UH, THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY CALL OUR SUPPORT LINE AND, AND WE CAN SEND THAT TICKET IN A, IN A, YOU KNOW, OR THEY CAN GO PICK UP THE TICKET FROM THE POLICE.

UH, STATION.

STATION.

SO ARE THESE TICKETS FOR ANY TYPE OF CITATION OR JUST TRAFFIC TICKETS OR IT, IT CAN BE USED FOR ANYTHING OR ORDINANCE, UH, VIOLATIONS OR, OR, OKAY.

UH, UH, TRAFFIC CITATIONS.

IT CAN BE USED FOR ANY, ANY, ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

CODE COMPLIANCE, ANIMAL CONTROL, TOWING, UH, FIELD INTERVIEWS.

SO, SO EVERY, ANY, ANYTHING THAT WAS TRADITIONALLY BEING PRINTED CAN NOW BE, UH, SO WHERE WOULD THE OFFICER PRINT THE TICKET AT? THEY WOULD GO BACK TO THEIR VEHICLE AND PRINT IT AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO THE YEAH, JUST LIKE, JUST LIKE THEY DO NOW.

THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT THEY DO NOW.

IT'S LIKE WHAT THEY DO NOW.

BUT THIS IS JUST A SECOND THING THEY CAN USE, YOU KNOW, FAST WITH THAT.

ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY ALREADY, WHAT THEY'RE ALREADY DOING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, SIR, BEFORE YOU STEP DOWN, COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, SIR? SORRY, I'M MANSUR PLUMMER.

I'M WITH NEW AND BLUE.

WE ARE AT 1720 SOUTH EDMONDS LANE IN LEWISVILLE, TEXAS.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I'M GONNA MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX.

IS THAT ALL CHIEF? YEP.

ARE YOU GOOD? ARE YOU GOOD? OKAY.

[7. Proclamation designating November 7, 2025 as "Arbor Day" in Wilmer. ]

AND THIS IS THE PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING NOVEMBER 7TH, 2025.

AS ARBOR DAY AND WILMER, WE HAVE HERE TO ACCEPT THE PROCLAMATION AS REGIONAL URBAN FORESTER WITH TEXAS A AND M FOREST SERVICE, MIKE SEALS.

[6. Receive the Police Department's Quarterly Report. ]

I AM SORRY.

I GOT THE AGENDA A LITTLE OUTTA ORDER.

SO CHIEF KEMP, CAN YOU PLEASE COME UP AND DO THE, UH, POLICE QUARTERLY REPORT? WE HAD TO BREAK YOU UP, SIR.

I WANTED YOU TO SIT DOWN AND REST.

MAYOR, MAYOR COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR AN OPPORTUNITY.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIS FOR A WHILE, TO BE ABLE TO QUARTERLY SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE ACTIVITY AND THE THINGS OF THE WILMER POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THIS IS, UH, BELIEVE WHAT WE CALL THE FOURTH QUARTER.

WE WOULD REFER TO IT AS THE THIRD QUARTER, JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER OF 2025.

UH, START OFF WITH SOME OF THE STAFFING AND PERSONNEL.

UH, AUGUST OF 11TH, WE BROUGHT ON OFFICER RYAN MUTINA.

SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER RYAN MUTINA, AS HE WAS A, UH, PREVIOUSLY A WILMORE POLICE OFFICER.

HE STARTED WITH FERRIS POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WORKED WITH THEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF.

AND THEN HE JOINED THE WILBER POLICE DEPARTMENT, WORKED FOR US FOR FOUR YEARS AND FOUR MONTHS, AND HIM BEING FROM THE AREA OF, OF GUN BARREL, HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO GUN BARREL POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AND HE WAS THERE FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS AND DECIDED HE WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK BECAUSE AS MOST DO, THEY MISS US WHEN THEY'RE GONE.

SO WE WELCOME THEM BACK, UH, GLADLY BECAUSE HE'S A TREMENDOUS OFFICER.

SO, UH, OFFICER RYAN PENA HAS JOINED OUR STAFF ONCE AGAIN.

ALSO, WE ADDED, UH, ANOTHER 9 1 1 TELECOMMUNICATOR ON AUGUST 19TH, UH, SHARON WITHERS, AND SHE HAS COMPLETED 160 HOURS OF FIELD TRAINING, AND SHE'S FITTING RIGHT IN AND DOING A GREAT JOB.

SHE WAS WITH GUN BARREL CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL FOR OVER YEARS, A TELECOMMUNICATOR.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE SHARON AS PART OF OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEAM.

AND, UH, AS WE ALWAYS DO, WE CONTINUE WITH STAFF DEVELOPMENT EVERY OPPORTUNITY WE CAN WITH TRAINING AND GIVING THEM EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITY WITH, UH, HONOR PROTECT WITH VIGILANCE.

LYNN, UH, ARENAS, I'M GONNA SAY THEIR NAME, RIGHT? I'M NOT SURE GET, GET IT RIGHT SOMETIMES I'M DIFFICULT WITH NAMES.

UH, SHE JUST RECENTLY GRADUATED FROM, OR REGIONAL TELECOMMUNICATOR ACADEMY.

NUMBER 19, SHE ATTENDED AT THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS REGIONAL POLICE ACADEMY.

SO SHE, SHE'S ALSO, THAT'S 80 HOURS OF TRAINING, UH, TO CERTIFY HER.

SHE'S ALSO COMPLETED HER 160 HOURS OF FIELD TRAINING.

AND SHE'S, SHE'S DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB FOR US.

SHE'S BEEN WITH US AGAIN, UH, FOR, SINCE EARLIER THIS YEAR.

WE'RE PROUD TO HAVE HER.

ALL THE OFFICERS IN AUGUST ATTENDED THE 16 HOUR, UH, LEVEL ONE ALERT TRAINING.

THEY ALSO, THAT'S ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING.

THEY ALSO ATTENDED AND, UH, REFRESHER COURSE ON, UH, STANDARDIZED FIELD SOBRIETY TRAINING.

AND ALL THE OFFICERS ALSO ATTENDED THAT.

UH, SOME OF THE OFFICERS ATTENDED A THREE DIMENSIONAL LEADERSHIP COURSE, A 40 HOUR COURSE AT THE TARRANT COUNTY, UH, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT'S ACADEMY, SERGEANT GREER, SERGEANT HIGDON, AS WELL AS OFFICER K NINE, OFFICER RYAN SAWYER ATTENDED THAT.

SOME OFFICERS ATTENDED A MENTAL HEALTH OFFICER TRAINING COURSE AND, UH, DRUG INTERDICTION COURSE AS WELL.

AND THIS IS JUST IN THAT QUARTER, WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST TRAINING AGENDA

[00:45:01]

AGAIN, BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOT SETTLING FOR, UH, MINIMUM STANDARDS THE STATE REQUIRES.

MOVE ON TO THE PATROL ACT.

UH, ACTIVITY COMPARISON AT A GLANCE JULY THROUGH SEPTEMBER 25, SAW CONSISTENT HIGH VOLUME PATROL ACTIVITY AND, UH, WILMER DOMINATED A TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROPERTY CRIMES, DRUG RELATED ARREST AND COMMUNITY WELFARE RESPONSES.

JUST TO BE A FEW.

WE WRITE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF, UH, POLICE REPORTS.

TOTAL TRAFFIC STOPS FOR THAT QUARTER, 1,948, UH, 649.

TRAFFIC STOPS AVERAGE PER MONTH.

TOTAL ARREST, 150 50 ARREST AVERAGE A MONTH.

VEHICLE IMPOUND 62 PHEON BURGLARIES 53 ACCIDENTS 73.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS.

I SHARED WITH SOMEONE ABOUT OUR NINE ONE ONE CALL CAPACITY, ABOUT 49% THE LAST TIME I CHECKED THROUGH COG.

49% OF OUR 9 1 1 CALLS COME FROM INTERSTATE RELATED CALLS.

DW SUSPICIOUS OF DWI, UH, ROAD RAGE.

THOSE, THOSE TYPE OF CALLS LIKE IN ACCIDENTS.

72, WELFARE CONCERNS 27 PLUS AGENCY ASSIST.

A LOT OF THOSE ARE ASSISTING DSO.

THE KEY TREND THERE, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT SAYS, TRAFFIC STOPS REMAIN THE BACKBONE OF PROACTIVE POLICING, FREQUENTLY LEADING TO ARREST FOR MARIJUANA POSSESSION, DWIS DRIVING WHILE LICENSE INVALID OUTSTANDING WARRANTS.

VIOLENT CRIME REMAINED LOW WITH ONE AGGRAVATED ROBBERY IN SEPTEMBER.

FALSE ALARMS AND TLS, UNABLE TO LOCATE AND UNRESOLVED CALLS, UH, KIND OF ROUNDED IT OUT.

ONE OF THE THINGS ON THIS, ON THIS, AT A GLANCE OF TOP FIVE VIOLATIONS, AND I KNOW WE TALK A LOT ABOUT TRUCK TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY IN WILMER PRESENTS US WITH A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS FOR OUR TRUCK TRAFFIC THAT WE ALL KNOW, UH, IS PAYNE.

I, I, I WANTED TO BREAK DOWN FOR YOU JUST FOR A MOMENT TO SHOW YOU THAT, THAT, UH, THAT PIE CHART THERE ONLY SHOWS THE, THE, IN THE INFORMATION INPUT, THE TOP FIVE.

SO I DUG A LITTLE DEEPER TODAY TO, UH, PUT A LITTLE INFORMATION.

THE TRUCK ZONE VIOLATIONS, IF YOU LOOK FROM JANUARY THE FIRST THROUGH SEPTEMBER THE 30TH, 100 HUNDRED 91 TRUCK ZONE CITATIONS LAST YEAR, THAT SAME PERIOD WAS 139.

SO WE WROTE 52 MORE TRUCK VIOLATIONS IN THAT SAME PERIOD THIS YEAR THAN WE DID LAST YEAR.

IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT A TOTAL 12 MONTHS, WE'D GO BACK TO OCTOBER THE FIRST OF LAST YEAR THROUGH SEPTEMBER THE 30TH.

FOR THE TOTAL 12 MONTHS OF THAT PERIOD, 269 TRUCK ZONE VIOLATIONS.

THE PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS WAS 163.

SO THAT'S 106 MORE TRUCK ZONE VIOLATIONS OF POLICE OFFICERS.

IT MAY BE MY IMAGINATION, MAYBE IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S SUMMER, BUT I, I WATCH CLOSELY.

I CAN SEE THE TRUCK FROM MY OFFICE WINDOW.

IT SEEMS LIKE MAYBE THERE'S A LITTLE RELIEF THERE, BUT WE CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LOT MORE INCREASE ON THOSE.

BUT THE OFFICERS ARE DEFINITELY OUT THERE TRYING TO, UH, EDUCATE AND BRING TO THEIR ATTENTION.

DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY.

NUMBER OF UNNECESSARY USE OF FORCE INCIDENTS, ZERO NUMBER OF VEHICLE PURSUITS.

TWO, ALL OF 'EM WERE CLOSELY SCRUTINIZED, VIDEOS WATCHED, AND THEY'RE ALL FOUND TO BE WITHIN DEPARTMENT POLICY.

A NUMBER OF FORMAL COMPLAINTS, ZERO EACH TIME I STAND UP HERE AND I PRESENT A RACIAL PROFILE AND REPORT FOR THE YEAR IN MARCH.

I CANNOT BE ANY MORE PROUD TO STAND BEFORE YOU EACH AND EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST, I CAN'T EVEN, I JUST, OVER 10 YEARS, PROBABLY IT'S MAYBE 15 YEARS, WE'VE NOT HAD ONE FOUNDED UNNECESSARY USE OF FORCE INCIDENT AND NOT ONE SUSTAINED FORMAL WRITTEN COMPLAINT AGAINST A POLICE OFFICER.

AND I THINK THAT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE WITH THE VOLUME OF INCIDENTS THAT OUR OFFICERS RESPOND TO EACH AND EVERY DAY.

SHARE THAT WITH YOU.

THEY'RE OUT THERE, REALLY THAT OATH WHEN THEY RAISE THEIR RIGHT HAND IS A THING, BUT THEY'RE OUT THERE LIVING IT OUT DAY TO DAY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

IN JUNE, WE PARTICIPATED IN THE SPARKS EVENT FIREWORKS SHOW, ALSO THE EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT WE PARTICIPATED IN, FOLLOWED UP CLOSELY BY OUR FLAGSHIP WAS IN OCTOBER.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN THE NEXT QUARTER.

QUARTERLY REPORT, OUR NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AND OUR FAITH IN BLUE.

THAT WAS NOT IN THIS QUARTER.

I WANNA THROW THAT OUT THAT WE'LL BE GETTING TO THAT, UH, AS OUR FLAGSHIP, UH, EVENT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT.

ALL OF THEM.

BRINGS

[00:50:01]

US TO OUR NBRS GROUP.

A OFFENSES, AND I WON'T WANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT NIBRS IS EACH AND EVERY TIME, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH NBRS, NIBRS, SOME YEARS AGO REPLACED WHAT WAS KNOWN AS UCR UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING, WHICH WAS A HIERARCHY SYSTEM OF REPORTING CRIME THAT TOOK THE, THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CRIME AND IT BROUGHT IT DOWN, BUT IT DIDN'T SHOW A REAL PICTURE OF VICTORY AND WHAT CRIMES LOOKED LIKE.

SO NEIGHBORS COME IN.

AND JUST REAL QUICK, WHAT BR STANDS FOR IS NATIONAL INCIDENT BASED REPORTING SYSTEM.

IT'S A FEDERAL STANDARD FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, UH, AGENCIES TO REPORT DETAILS.

CRIME DATA TO THE FBI, IT WAS IMPLEMENTED, IMPLEMENTED TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF CRIME DATA COLLECTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES LIKE OUR ER, POLICE DEPARTMENT, EACH SINGLE INCIDENT AS WELL AS SEPARATE OFFENSES WITHIN THE SAME INCIDENT INCLUDES INFORMATION ON VICTIMS KNOWN OFFENDERS, RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN VICTIMS, OFFENDERS, ADDRESSES, AND PROPERTY.

SO IT'S JUST A RICHER, MORE COMPLEX WAY OF GATHERING DATA THAT WE REPORT TO THE FBI.

AND WITH THAT SAID, THE GROUP A OFFENSES, AND I MAY HAVE TO ACTUALLY PULL UP MY READER'S TOTAL OFFENSES.

THIS HAS THE, THE QUARTER 2024 LISTED FIRST AND THEN 2025.

TOTAL OFFENSE IS 86 LAST YEAR.

152 THIS YEAR.

ADULT ARREST 39 LAST YEAR, 80 THIS YEAR.

YOU CAN SEE THE COMPARISONS AND ALL THIS IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO RESEARCH IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT IN CLOSER DETAIL.

THE JUVENILE ARRESTS, THERE ARE VERY LOW VIOLENT CRIME.

UH, 23, A LOT OF THAT IS FAMILY VIOLENCE, ASSAULTS, POPULATION BEING UP PLAYS A PART IN THAT.

ALSO, THINKING ABOUT THE TIME CAPSULE ON THIS, THIS IS ALSO THE SUMMER MONTHS.

YOU'LL SEE A DECREASE IN THESE TYPES OF THINGS AS WE GO INTO THE HALL.

WELL, SOME THINGS IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON WILL INCREASE, BUT SOME OF THESE CRIMES WILL DECREASE IN THIS QUARTER THAT YOU'LL HEAR NEXT WEEK.

UH, THE DRUG VIOLATIONS, YOU SEE THAT THERE IS A, A, A QUITE AN INCREASE IN THOSE DRUG VIOLATIONS.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THERE'S MORE DRUG VIOLATIONS.

OUR OFFICERS ARE REALLY GOING OUT AND DOING INTERDICTION IN THE CANINE PROGRAM, UH, IS A LOT TO DO WITH THAT AS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP OUR STAFF FOCUSED ON THESE THINGS.

SO THERE'S A COMPARISON CHART ON THE NEXT ONE.

THE ASSAULTS GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, IS NOTEWORTHY IS THAT OUR CRIME, OUR, OUR OVERALL CRIME IS DOWN.

AND WHEN YOU COMPARE OUR COMMUNITY TO OTHER CITIES, OUR CRIME RATE IS LOWER THAN MOST OF THEM.

SO, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE, WE, WE WILL RUN INTO AND THAT YOU WILL SEE IF YOU START LOOKING AT PROPERTY CRIMES THAT CAN LOOK A LITTLE LOPSIDED IN WILMER, IS WHENEVER YOU HAVE A DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND THEN THEY HAVE A INSIDE JOB.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU REMEMBER BACK, YOU CAN RESEARCH IT.

MAKETA GOT HIT WITH THE INSIDE JOB WHERE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TOOLS WERE STOLEN.

UH, I CAN GO INTO ALL 'EM, WHIRLPOOL INSIDE JOB WERE APPLIANCES.

THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE, THE 18 ORDERS WERE DRIVEN OFF THE PROPERTY FROM THE INSIDE JOB.

YOU KNOW, NOTHING WE COULD REALLY DETECT.

SO THOSE VALUES, THOSE DOLLARS, WHEN WE REPORT THOSE, THEY CAN, CAN MAKE IT LOOK LIKE OUR DOLLAR VALUE IS, IS HIGH.

BUT EVEN WITH ALL OF THAT, WE'RE STILL ON THE LOWER END OF THE SPECTRUMS OF MOST OF THEM.

AND I THINK THAT ANYONE WHO RESEARCHES THAT WILL SEE THAT WARMER IS A PRETTY, PRETTY SAFE COMMUNITY TO LIVE IN.

THAT THOSE THINGS ARE, I THINK ARE ENCOURAGING.

AND THEN THERE'S THE JULY OF SEPTEMBER, THE MAJOR CRIMES.

THE MAJOR CRIMES ARE JUST, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT AT ALL.

I CAN READ EACH THOSE NUMBERS AND I THINK YOU SEE 'EM.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER IT.

THEN WE HAVE THE, THE TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS.

UH, AGAIN, THE TOP FIVE THAT YOU'LL SEE THERE.

I THINK I LOOKED TODAY THAT IN THIS QUARTER THERE WAS 168 DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF CITATIONS THAT WERE ISSUED.

SO YOU CAN REALLY GET DOWN INTO THE WEEDS ON THAT ONE.

UM, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

WELL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU, SIR.

I APPRECIATE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

HEY, WE ARE NOW GONNA MOVE OVER TO COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS.

[11. Discuss and consider approval of the August 2025 monthly financials. ]

ITEM 11, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE AUGUST, 2025 MONTHLY FINANCIALS.

OUR CONSULTING FINANCE DIRECTOR, PATRICIA ULBRICH, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, PATRICIA AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS HERE OF LATE AND, UH, ON THESE MONTHLY FINANCIALS OR THE INVESTMENT REPORT, I REALLY WANT HER TO FOCUS ON THE HIGHS AND LOWS IN THE REPORT.

NOT JUST GOING THROUGH DEPARTMENTS AND FUNDS.

AND WE KIND OF GET LOST WHEN THERE'S NOT ANY BIG DISCREPANCIES, BUT I WANT YOU TO BE FOCUSED ON THOSE THAT ARE CAUSING IT.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A RED FLAG.

SO IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE, A LITTLE MORE BRIEF THAN WHAT MAYBE YOU'VE HAD IN THE PAST.

BUT AGAIN, THE FOCUS IS MORE ON THOSE HIGHS AND LOWS THAT WE WANNA MAKE YOU

[01:00:01]

WELL AWARE OF AND IT NOT GET LOST IN JUST, YOU KNOW, NUMBERS.

SO, GO AHEAD PATRICIA.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I'M HAPPY TO BE BACK TO PRESENT THE AUGUST, 2025 FINANCIALS.

AND AS JUST MENTIONED, WE ARE GOING TO JUST HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS.

YOU DO HAVE THE DETAILED LINE ITEM REPORTS FOR ALL THE FUNDS THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED TONIGHT.

YOU ALSO HAVE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION IN PDF FORM THAT ALSO GIVES YOU SOME HIGHLIGHTS.

THE, UM, GENERAL FUND REVENUES AS OF AUGUST, 2025 FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST ARE $1.06 MILLION.

YEAR TO DATE, THERE'S $22.9 MILLION IN REVENUES.

AND WE ARE, UM, OVER OUR BUDGETED, UH, REVENUES DUE TO HIGHER THAN BUDGETED PROPERTY TAXES AND SALES TAXES FOR THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES.

THE TOTAL EXPENDITURES AS OF AUGUST 31ST ARE $17.8 MILLION WITH THE REVENUES OVER EXPENDITURES OF $5.2 MILLION.

SO THERE IS A, UM, NET INCOME OF $5.2 MILLION AS OF 8 31 FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.

AS OF AUGUST, 2025, THE TOTAL INCOME IS 439,000 2 0 2, AND YEAR TO DATE IS $3.8 MILLION.

WE ARE AT 97% OF BUDGET FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.

SO WE ARE, UM, LOOKING VERY WELL IN THE, UM, WATER AND SEWER FUND.

TOTAL EXPENSES FOR AUGUST 367,266 AND YEAR TO DATE $3.4 MILLION IN EXPENSES WITH A NET INCOME OF 406,000 OH 71 AT 98% OF OUR BUDGETED EXPENSES AS OF AUGUST, 2025.

SO FAVORABLE ALSO FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.

MOVING ON TO WILMER, EDC, WILMER, EDC SALES TAX REVENUE FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST, 2025 IS RIGHT AROUND 300,000.

AND INTEREST INCOME, ABOUT $4,800.

TOTAL EXPENDITURES FOR EDC 307,451 YEAR TO DATE THOUGH 2.8 MILLION IN REVENUE AND 1.9 IN EXPENDITURES, WHICH GIVES IT A TOTAL INCOME OF 884,421, WHICH IS ALSO FAVORABLE.

THE CDC HAD SALES TAX REVENUE OF THE SAME AMOUNT RIGHT AROUND 300,000 YEAR TO DATE REVENUE FOR CDC 2.8 MILLION YEAR TO DATE TOTAL EXPENDITURES FOR CDC 2.5 MILLION WHEN AN INCOME OF $261,839.

ALSO ENDING IN A FAVORABLE NOTE FOR CDC.

AND, UH, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M WILLING TO ANSWER THEM.

COUNSEL, YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WHEN WILL THE, UH, I HAVE ONE, UH, ONE WILL BE SEPTEMBER FINANCIALS.

WE GET CAUGHT UP TO DATE.

SEPTEMBER TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER BECAUSE WE'RE STILL CLOSING OUT THE YEAR.

WE ARE PERFORMING ACCRUALS.

AND EVEN THOUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH HAS COME AND GONE, WE STILL HAVE QUITE A FEW INVOICES THAT COME IN AND WE HAVE TO ACCRUE THEM ALL TO SEPTEMBER 30TH BECAUSE IT'S LAST YEAR'S EXPENSE.

WE ARE WRAPPING UP THAT PROCESS THIS WEEK, IN FACT.

SO ONCE WE WRAP THAT UP, I WILL RUN THE TRIAL BALANCES FOR THE AUDITORS NEXT WEEK AND THEY WILL BE, UM, ON SITE THE FIRST WEEK OR SECOND WEEK OF DECEMBER.

SO I PLAN TO PRESENT THE PRELIMINARY SEPTEMBER FINANCIALS IN DECEMBER.

KEEP IN MIND THAT IT'S GOING TO CHANGE AFTER THE AUDITORS FINISH THEIR AUDIT, BUT IT WILL GIVE US A NICE GOOD OVERVIEW.

O OVER THE PAST YEAR.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

I'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION ALL THE TIME.

UH, MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLIES, IT'S JUST LIKE EVERY ACCOUNT.

WHAT'S MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLIES? 'CAUSE EVERYONE IS JUST, SEEMS TO BE SO OVER THE AMOUNT IN EVERY ACCOUNT WHEN THERE'S OTHER SUPPLY CODES LISTED.

SO WHAT'S MISCELLANEOUS, WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THAT MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLIES IS

[01:05:01]

WHATEVER DOESN'T FIT INTO THE OTHER, UM, CODES.

SO IF IT'S NOT LIKE AN OFFICE SUPPLY, UM, IT'S NOT A CLEANING SUPPLY, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T FIT THE DESCRIPTION OF THE OTHER GL CODES AND WE HAVE TO PUT PUT IT SOMEWHERE.

SO IF YOU, DO YOU HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHICH DEPARTMENT IT IS? OKAY.

IF YOU JUST LOOK IN THE FIRST ONE, JUST GENERAL, I, I WAS GOING THROUGH AND DOING THEM ALL.

UM, GENERAL GOVERNMENT LINE CODE, UH, 11 6 3 1 7, BUDGETED $500.

UH, YEAR TO DATE IS 1419.

BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT MUCH HIGHER.

BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PERCENTAGES, AND I'M A MATH PERSON, 2 83 0.74%, AND IN EVERY ONE, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S ALWAYS HIGHER THAN WHAT'S BUDGETED.

AND SO I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT'S INCLUDED IN MISCELLANEOUS, WHENEVER WE PREPARE THE BUDGET, WE ALWAYS WANT TO INCLUDE SOMETHING IN MISCELLANEOUS BECAUSE WE KNOW SOMETHING'S GOING TO COME UP THAT'S NOT GOING TO FIT INTO OFFICE SUPPLIES OR, OR ANY OF THE OTHER ONES THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT.

I CAN'T THINK OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHAT IT WOULD BE.

I CAN GIVE AN EXAMPLE.

SO IF WE WANTED TO DO A KEEP WILMER BEAUTIFUL TINT, THAT WOULDN'T GO UNDER SUPPLIES, THAT WOULD GO UNDER MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLIES.

SO THE TINT THAT HAS THE LOGO OR TO GET THE LOGO FOR KEEP WILMER BEAUTIFUL.

WE THAT WOULD BE MISCELLANEOUS.

IT'D BE THINGS LIKE, LIKE THAT.

SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T FIT.

AND EVEN THOUGH THEY PUT IN LET'S SAY 500, THEY'RE JUST KIND OF BALL PARKING IT UHHUH, THEY DON'T KNOW EXACTLY IF THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE.

WILL THEY NEED THE 10TH IN THE LOGO? HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO BE? THEY DON'T KNOW.

SO WE ALWAYS WANNA HAVE A LITTLE POCKET OF MONEY.

THERE ARE, ARE WE PURCHASING THAT TENT FOR FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER TO STORE COST? IT'S A ONE, IT'S A ONE-TIME PURCHASE THAT WE WOULD STORE.

OKAY, THEN THAT WOULD NOT BE A SUPPLY, WOULDN'T IT? IT SUPPLY WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S CONSUMABLE THAT YOU USE AND YOU NO LONGER HAVE.

BUT THE DOLLAR VALUE OF THAT IS NOT GONNA TRIGGER IT TO BE IN A CAPITAL OUTLAY ITEM.

AND WHAT WE CAN DO IS AS WE GO THROUGH THE BUDGET THIS NEXT YEAR, WE CAN TAKE A HARDER LOOK AT THAT.

UM, I'M NOT OVERLY CONCERNED ABOUT $500 MISCELLANEOUS ACCOUNT.

WELL, I KNOW, AND I'M, I'M NOT, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE NITPICKY, IT'S JUST EVERY ACCOUNT.

HAS THAT MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLY THAT SEEMS TO BE OVER.

AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND I'M JUST WONDERING.

NO, GOOD POINT.

GOOD POINT.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

'CAUSE TOO MANY TIMES WE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SEE A MISCELLANEOUS ACCOUNT THAT'S MORE THAN SOME OF THE OTHER ACCOUNTS, I MEAN IT DOES RAISE A RED FLAG, BUT POINT WELL TAKEN IT MAKES WONDER MM-HMM .

UH, SOME IN SOME MONTHS WE GET THE CHECK REGISTERS.

I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THIS ONE.

UM, I THINK MAYOR PRO, TIM LAU HAD MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE CHECK REGISTERS THAT GIVE US THE ACTUAL ACCOUNT THAT IT'S CHARGED TO.

AND PERHAPS THAT MIGHT HELP US DECIDE WHAT WENT INTO MISCELLANEOUS.

WE ALREADY, WE ALREADY SUPPLY THOSE TO YOU.

THE SEPTEMBER ONE IS THE LAST ONE THAT WE HAVE RUN BECAUSE WE JUST FINISHED OCTOBER.

SO WE CAN'T JUST RUN IT THE NEXT DAY.

SO THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY IN SYNC WITH THE MONTHS THAT WE'RE SEEING.

THOSE WERE SENT OUT EARLY.

BUT I MEAN, WE CAN'T, AND THEY'RE ON THE REALLY COMPARE AND THEY'RE ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL, THIS WITHOUT THAT.

THE, THE, ALL OF THE CHECK REGISTERS ARE ON THE WEBSITE WITH THE GL ACCOUNT NUMBERS.

EVERYTHING IS ON THERE.

UM, UP TO SEPTEMBER 30TH AGAIN, BECAUSE OCTOBER JUST FINISHED, WE'RE STILL CLOSING THAT MONTH.

SO I HAVE TO RUN THOSE REGISTERS AND ONCE I DO, I SEND THEM TO KRISTEN WHO SENDS IT OUT TO COUNCIL.

AND THEN I ASK FOR OUR WEBMASTER TO PUBLISH IT ONLINE AS WELL.

SO YOU'LL PROBABLY BE SEEING THAT CHECK REGISTER EARLIER THAN THE FINANCIALS.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? SO THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE TUCKED IN TO THIS AUGUST ONE.

THEY'RE ALREADY, THEY'RE ALREADY THERE ONLINE AND THEY WERE HANDED OUT AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

IT WAS THAT BIG STACK.

BUT I WAS JUST THINKING THAT IF WE COULD SEE THE AMOUNT THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR, WE COULD COMPARE WITH THE REGISTER.

BUT THAT'S FINE.

BUT, UM, LIKE I SAID, OCTOBER WILL PROBABLY BE DONE PROBABLY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

AND, AND THE REASON THAT I SEND IT OUT EARLY IS SO THAT COUNSEL HAS TIME TO LOOK AT THAT CHECK REGISTER BEFORE THE FINANCIALS COME OUT.

AND THEN, THEN IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, THEN YOU CAN GO OVER IT.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I'M HERE AND I'M PRESENTING THAT MONTH.

[01:10:01]

UM, I, I WANT YOU TO KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR SOFTWARE, IT'S ALL MANUAL, SO IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN PRESS A BUTTON AND SAY, CHECK REGISTER OCTOBER AND BAM, EVERYTHING'S OUT.

I HAVE TO PIECE IT TOGETHER AND THEN PUT IT IN A PDF FOR EVERYONE.

QUICKBOOKS IS FOR A SMALL BUSINESS AND THIS IS A BIG, YOU KNOW, LOTS OF, LOTS OF FUNDS IN THE GOVERNMENT.

SO, UM, IT, IT TAKES ME A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO PUT IT TOGETHER.

SO I'M DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN TO GET ALL OF THOSE, UM, FINANCIAL RECORDS FOR YOU ALL.

AND ALSO YOU DON'T HAVE THE TRANSPARENCY ON THE WEBSITE.

SO PRETTY SOON YOU WILL BE RECEIVING THE OCTOBER ONES WAY AHEAD OF THE OCTOBER FINANCIALS AS WELL.

I HAVE, HAVE A PROBLEM IN, IN EVERY, UM, DEPARTMENT, THERE IS A LINE ITEM, UM, OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND UH, IT MIGHT BE BUDGETED, LIKE I'M LOOKING AT ONE RIGHT HERE FOR, UM, 3,800 YEAR TO DATE THAT THEY'VE ALREADY SPENT NINE $96,186.

UH, SO AND WHICH ONE IS THAT? CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH ONE? UM, THIS IS IN GENERAL FUND.

I JUST CITY SECRETARY.

JUST JUST UNDER CITY SECRETARY.

I'M, I'M NOT PICKING ON NOBODY.

I JUST HAPPENED TO FLIP THIS PAGE.

THAT WAS WHEN WE HAD THE, BUT ANYWAY, LADY COME IN FROM, SO, UH, BUT THERE, THERE'S SEVERAL PLACES IN HERE THAT THERE'S NOTHING, UH, A LINE ITEM FOR UM, THERE.

WELL, I LIKE IN THE COURT, UM, THE JUDGE OR IS HE PAID OUT GENERAL FUND OR IS HE PAID OUT OF A YES, HE IS PAID OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND IF IT'S UNDER OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

NOW, ONE THING THAT I WANT TO MENTION IS THAT WHEN I BROUGHT THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS TO YOU ALL IN THE SUMMER, THAT'S WHERE WE WERE CLEANING UP ALL OF THOSE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A CITY SECRETARY FOR A WHILE.

WE WERE PAYING AN INTERIM CITY SECRETARY FROM OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

SO WHEN YOU PUT THE BUDGET TOGETHER AND SAY WE'RE GONNA PUT 5,000 IN OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, THEN THE CITY SECRETARY LEAVES AND WE HAVE TO HIRE SOMEONE.

SO WE TAKE IT FROM THE OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THEY'RE GONNA BE HERE, NOW YOU'VE GOT $96,000 SPENT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A CITY SECRETARY.

AND SO THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS WERE TO PUT ALL OF THAT ALIGNED AND CLEANED UP SO IT WOULDN'T LOOK LIKE THIS.

IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A FINANCE DIRECTOR.

SO THE OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LINE IS GONNA BE WAY UP.

'CAUSE I'M GETTING PAID OUT OF THAT.

SO JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR PERSONNEL COSTS WILL GO DOWN BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT THERE, THERE IS A VACANCY AND YOUR OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ARE GONNA GO UP BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST MOVING THAT MONEY.

BUT WITH NO BUDGET AMENDMENT, IT'S NOT CLEAN.

BUT I, YOU KNOW, WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A, UM, WE DISCUSSED IT BEFORE ABOUT, UM, WE WERE IN SUCH A RUSH TO PA PASS THE NEW BUDGET THAT WE COULD GO BACK AND AMEND SOME OF THIS STUFF.

UH, BUT I, I HAD NEVER UP UNTIL THE LAST FIVE YEARS, I HAD NEVER SEEN THAT IN A BUDGET.

THIS, UH, I MEAN IN EACH LINE ITEM, UH, OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES THAT JUST GIVE EX, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME WITH COUNCIL FOR ANYTHING.

YOU JUST SAY, WE GOT THIS EXTRA MONEY, WE'LL JUST PUT IT OVER THERE.

YOU KNOW.

UM, BUT, UH, ANYWAY, YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T PAY THEM OUT OF AN EMPLOYEE ACCOUNT BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT CONSIDERED AN EMPLOYEE.

AND IF YOU PAY THEM OUT OF THE EMPLOYEE ACCOUNT, THEN YOU'VE GOT ALL THE BENEFITS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM PAID OUT OF THAT.

'CAUSE THEY DO SIGN A CONTRACT.

WE SIGN A CONTRACT WITH A COMPANY THAT SUPPLIES THIS PERSON TO DO THE JOB FOR US.

AND SO IT, IT IS A CONTRACT AND THAT'S WHY IT'S ON THAT LINE.

WE DID TRY TO DO SOME BUDGET AMENDMENTS AND YES, THEY GOT VOTED DOWN.

ITEM NUMBER 12, PRESENTATION OF THE FOURTH QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORTS.

BUT SOME OF THESE INTERIM SITUATIONS, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S A WASH.

YOU'RE NOT PAYING THAT FINANCE DIRECTOR OUT OF THAT LINE ITEM UP IN PERSONNEL ACCOUNT.

IT'S DOWN HERE IN OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND YOU DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT AND YOU MARRY THE TWO.

AND WE LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

SO I MEAN, WE TRIED

[01:15:01]

TO DO THAT.

WELL, I'M JUST SAYING WE'RE, ANYWAY, WE'LL GET, WE'RE GONNA GO.

YEAH, WE'RE GONNA GET THERE.

IT'S JUST WE CAN'T AMEND THIS ONE ANYMORE.

YEAH, WE'RE IN A NEW YEAR NOW, RIGHT? WE'RE WRAPPED UP THE FISCAL YEAR 25.

SO YOU CAN'T AMEND THAT.

THAT'S THE WAY IT STAYS.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING THAT THAT STAYS THE WAY IT IS.

WE, THIS IS A NEW YEAR AND YOU'LL SEE.

OKAY, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I'M HEARING TWO, TWO VOICES COMING AT ME ONE AT ONE TIME.

SO, UH, AND BUT FOR THE NEXT YEAR, UM, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, MAYOR PROTE, I'M SORRY.

UM, WE CAN, WE CAN AMEND THE 26TH IN THE SPRING OR WHENEVER RIGHT.

IF WE SEE LIKE I'M STILL HERE , SO WE CAN MOVE THAT KNOW WE HADN'T FINISHED THIS YEAR OUT YET.

YES, YES, I KNOW THAT YES, WE CAN CLEAN ALL THAT UP.

I KNOW.

AND, UM, IN LIKE MARCH OR APRIL, THAT'S USUALLY WHEN WE DO THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS.

UM, BUT YEAH, GOOD QUESTION.

UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO THAT'S IT.

[12. Presentation of the Fourth Quarter Investment Reports as described below. ]

MS. PATRICIA, THIS IS ALSO GOING TO BE AN OVERVIEW BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE FULL FOURTH QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORT IN YOUR PACKET, PLUS THE PRESENTATION I HAVE, UH, PRESENTED BEFORE, AND NOW WE HAVE A FULL YEAR OF TRANSPARENCY WITH ALL OF YOUR CASH IN FRONT OF YOU.

THIS PARTICULAR ONE ROUNDS UP FISCAL YEAR 2025, AND LET'S SEE HOW WE ENDED UP, OKAY, SO FOR THE YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025, THE TOTAL HOLDINGS FOR THE CITY OF WILMER WERE $35.6 MILLION IN ALL OF THE ACCOUNTS THROUGHOUT ALL THE FUNDS THAT ARE DETAILED IN YOUR PACKET, OKAY.

OF THAT IN THE LOCAL BANK, WE ENDED WITH $15.4 MILLION.

CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS, WHICH ARE RESTRICTED ACCOUNTS ARE $6.6 MILLION.

THAT'S WHAT WE USE TO PAY FOR THAT.

UH, WHAT IS IT CALLED? FOREST MAIN OUTFALL.

, I'M SORRY, I FORGET THE NAME OF IT.

BUT WE PAY THAT OUT OF THERE.

UM, AND THEN FOR THE POOLS, THOSE ARE THE INVESTMENT POOLS THAT ARE IN AUSTIN.

$13.5 MILLION ARE THERE.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE ACTUALLY GET INTEREST, UH, PAID TO, UM, THE CITY.

AND SO WE ROUNDED OUT AS, AS I JUST MENTIONED, THE ENDING, UH, VALUE AS OF NINE 30 IS A $35.6 MILLION.

THE AVERAGE YIELD TO MATURITY FOR QUARTER, FOR THE CITY OF ALL THE ACCOUNTS ABOUT 4%.

WHEN YOU COMPARE THAT TO THE SIX MONTH TBI, IT'S 4.1%.

SO WE'RE DOING VERY WELL ON THAT.

UM, FRONT AND I PROVIDED A LITTLE GRAPH FOR YOU ALL WITH, UM, LAST YEAR ALL THE WAY TO THIS YEAR AND, UM, HOW WE BEGAN AND HOW WE END IT.

AND THERE'S THE, UM, INTEREST RATES FOR THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACCOUNTS SO THAT YOU HAVE A LITTLE GRAPH.

BUT ALL IN ALL, IT, IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS OR REPORT? DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MA'AM.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

NEXT STEPS.

THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2026 CONTRACT WITH THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL OF GREATER DALLAS SLASH DALLAS AREA AGENCY ON AGING IS BEING PRESENTED TO YOU FOR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION.

THIS ASHLEY, I HAVE ONE.

OH OH, DID, SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.

GO AHEAD.

UM, IS THIS THE SAME, UH, I LIKE ON WHEELS, UH, PROGRAM OR IS IT, IS IT, IS IT MEALS ON WHEELS IN THE PAST? I DON'T BELIEVE SO.

NO.

IT'S A SEPARATE PROGRAM.

I KNOW WE DO NOT HAVE THAT MANY SENIORS THAT ARE COMING TO THE CENTER.

ARE WE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY? I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION ON HAND RIGHT NOW.

WHO WOULD HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

UM, BUT WE'VE GOT A CAP OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE OUT, CORRECT? I BELIEVE SO, YES.

SO IT'S THAT 5,800 THAT WE HAVE TO MM-HMM .

WHETHER WE SERVE 15 OR 30.

[01:25:01]

SO IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, WE JUST DON'T GET AS MUCH IF WE'RE NOT SERVING AS RIGHT.

AS MUCH.

SO I UNDERSTAND THAT.

SO THE MONEY'S WE'RE NOT OUT ANY ADDITIONAL MONEY.

IT'S JUST, AND I THINK IT WORKS THE OTHER WAY.

IF WE WERE GETTING INUNDATED, WE COULD QUALIFY FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS.

WELL, I, I HAVE BEEN TO THE SENIOR SIT-IN WHILE THEY WERE BEING SERVED, AND WHAT IS NOT SERVED IS TAKEN BACK.

THAT'S CORRECT.

SO, AND THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, FROM A HEALTH RIGHT.

SAFETY, FOOD SAFETY ISSUE.

AND, AND WE CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT AND GIVE IT TO OUR OWN EMPLOYEES.

CAN'T TAKE IT TO A HOME PERSON AT THE HOUSE.

NO.

IT NEEDS TO BE THERE.

THE FOOD CANNOT BE TAKEN OUT OF THE BUILDING.

SO MEALS ON WHEELS WILL HAVE CONGREGATE, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE COMING TO THE SENIOR CENTER.

AND THERE'S ALSO DELIVERIES TO HOMES THAT WILL GO TO HOMES.

AND USUALLY THE HOME DELIVERIES IS WHERE YOU GET MOST OF THE BANG.

AND THEY DON'T COME FROM THE CITY.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH MEALS ON WHEELS.

NO, THIS IS TOTALLY, IT'S NOT DIFFERENT.

IT'S, IT FUNCTIONS SIMILAR.

BUT IT IT'S A LOT MORE RESTRICTIVE.

A LOT MORE.

IT'S A DIFFERENT AGENCY THAT SPONSORS MEALS ON WHEELS AND THIS YEAH.

THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT.

THERE'S, IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING.

I KNOW THEY, THEY WOULD GO TO YOUR HOUSE IF YOU'RE DISABLED OR WHATEVER, AND, AND THAT MAY BE SOMETHING WE LOOK AT NEXT YEAR.

TO, TO TRY TO DO THE HOME DELIVERY.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN IN CITIES WHERE IT'S ONE TIME.

TIME HERE, UH, YEARS, I MEAN A FEW YEARS BACK.

SO IT'S HARD GETTING VOLUNTEERS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I WAS 66.

I KNOW IN SOME COMMUNITIES, UM, THEY HAVE POLICE OFFICERS IN THE COMMUNITY.

I KNOW RICE.

ENNI, THEY USE, SOME OF TIMES THEIR POLICE OFFICERS MIGHT DELIVER IT.

UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE'D WANT TO DO.

IT'S, IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET MEALS ON WHEELS STARTED IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE VOLUNTEERS.

THAT'S WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT.

WE WILL ENTER INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THIS TIME, MS. DAMS, PLEASE READ THE CAPTIONS INTO THE RECORDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.

MAY I GET A MOTION ON THIS? MADAM MAYOR, I MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL OF DALLAS FOR, UM, MEALS FOR OUR WILMER SENIOR CITIZENS.

MAY I GET A SECOND? I SECOND.

MAY I HAVE A VOTE? YES.
