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 …

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.

Well, today is the day that we are doing proclamations and recognitions at this point, and we're going to begin with a prayer and a Pledge of Allegiance. So I'm going to ask if you would please silence your cell phone, and if you so choose, please stand and remain standing for the Pledge of Allegiance. Gracious and loving God, we give you thanks for this wonderful city, for the people of this city, and for the people that are here today. And a special blessing on our third through fifth graders from Blanchett today, and for the hard work that they do, and for the future that they have. And it's exciting to see them here. And Lord, we ask that you be with us this day and this coming week, and help us be the people that you'd have us be. In Christ's name we pray. Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. You may be seated. Today we have a special presentation and two proclamations, and when I call your name, the group, please come forward to receive the proclamation. You can take pictures. And someone from the group, we would invite you to speak at the podium. And if you have more than one person that would like to speak, feel free to do that. First, we're going to have a special presentation from Mr. J.D. Appling, president, CEO of the Pro Football Capital Museum Foundation. Thank you. Thank you for inviting me, council and mayor.
