WHAT YOU MISSED AT COUNCIL YESTERDAY

ExxonMobil Beaumont presented the City with a $100K check to go towards Parks & Recreation's restoration of the Charlton-Pollard Park playground and discussed a future recycling initiative. 

Amended the FY 2023 Budget to increase the general liability fund by $500K

Authorized participation in Entergy's rate proceedings for 2023. The committee successfully negotiated a rate increase of only 4.6%, reducing their original proposal by 58.90%.

Held a work session to review and discuss supporting the request of the Southeast Texas Groundwater Conservation District (SETGCD) to raise the maximum water production fee from 1 cent per 1,000 gallons to 7 cents per 1,000 gallons and authorized the City Manager to send a letter supporting the maximum rate increase. That does not mean there will be an increase and no increase is anticipated in the near future, it's merely a failsafe for worst case scenario.
