the same. The City Manager recommends approval. Mayor Pro-Tem Cuellar, seconded by Commissioner Rivera, moved to approve the item as presented. Commissioner Noriega believes the City should not add any additional hardship to the residents after increasing the water rates so much. Mayor Pro-Tem Cuellar stated that a comparison should be done on the benefits from living in City such as access to City Parks, Police and Fire Protection and asked the City Manager to create a list of benefits and post it to the City website. He added perhaps it would be better to raise property taxes than creep all other utilities. In response to a question from Commissioner Fox, Mr. Bret Mann stated that if deferred until next year the increase would depend on the amount of inflation which averages 3% a year. He added that without these annual increases then there are big jumps from 3% to 9%. The City Manager stated that the City is being fiscally conservative as evident by the improved bond rating. He stated that water rates were uncomfortable because the increase had been deferred for so long and the property tax rate has not been increased in five years. Commissioner Noriega opposed.

The motion carried unanimously; Mayor Wise was present, but not voting.

VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Samuel Cavazos stated that taxes and utilities are too high. Also, there are no policies or protocols for handling citizen complaints. However, after a meeting he had with City Manager those complaints may be handled in the same manner as employee complaints.

B. Report by the Economic Development Corporation of Weslaco. Attachment.
