Thank you. across the city because many of them don't get enough thanks. We look forward to this coming year. We just ask for your guidance and your direction. Thank you. I'm sorry. As we start this budget hearing, I just want to thank our city manager and city staff. I know there's been several reports this week, but it shows that you are already working towards solving our budget challenges that lay ahead that are certainly common in cycl ical years. But I appreciate that. And I know people may have questions, but I know that's what we're going to be answering today. So thank you. Thank you. Well, Mayor, I'll go ahead and get us started. We'll have a presentation next by HDR on our water and sewer rates by Grady Reed. But before we move into that, Mr. Reed, I just want to make an opening statement. This is the third work session as we work through preparation for the FY27 fiscal year budget, which begins October 1st. As we've mentioned in prior workshops, essentially our expenditures continue to exceed our revenues. And we continue to dip into our fund balance. And it's not necessarily unique to the city of Beaumont. That happens, of course, in cities and states and governments and our own homes. So we're used to that. And here at the city of Beaumont, kind of like it's your home, what we need to do is take a hard look at our spending and our revenues and essentially tighten our belts . At least, well, we've already started to tighten our belts this fiscal year. And we're p …

Good morning, everyone. Can you all hear me okay in the back? I think we had some audio problems, so I'm going to speak loud in case you cannot hear me. Virtue, are you all able to hear okay back there? Okay. Well, I'll just speak loud because I don't think this is working. Welcome to the City of Beaumont Proclamation presentation. Today's date is Tuesday, July 7, 2026. And if we would, silence your cell phone and please stand and remain standing for the pledge and for our prayer. Let us pray. Loving God, we give you thanks for this day that you made and for all these organizations and people that are being recognized today. Because, Lord, this is an incredible city where people are doing incredible things, and we like to acknowledge that. We give you thanks for everyone here. We ask that you bless them and bless this time, bless this city. And we ask all this in the precious name of Jesus.

Please come forward and receive your proclamation. And you'll take pictures at that time. And at that point, then you can go to the podium. And you're going to need to speak loudly again. I apologize. But we had a power surge. And it took out our sound system this morning. Turning it on and turning it back off, maybe. I don't know what else you'd do to it.

Thank you. Good afternoon. Thank you. Whether we planned for it in the design or not. We have to do the work and we have to address it We can't just cover it up. Oh, I understand that and that's a lot of what we have Countered the situations that we have is where things may or may not have been done entirely. Well weren't documented well, we only have the records that we have and so when we see a deficiency we have to address it Real quickly. I just want to point out. I know we're studying change orders I think we're even looking in the charter committee pro the charter process to take a look at change orders and I think At probably some point in the near future. We can do another work session on change orders it you know We always we hate to see them But there is a balance in other words you can you can spend a lot more money on in basically surveying and engineering on the front end To make sure you have no change orders the other thing is you can have an ironclad contract to say You know, we're gonna very much limit the change orders, but then you're gonna have elevated bids because contractors will be reluctant to to bid on work if they know that you know, there's but but I understand at the same time, you know I know that we be more cautious. Yeah, so we I know we budget for them and I know that we go through con You know the design process the procurement process the award process But there is a bit of a balance, but I think you know just a I think it might help to do a …
