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 (5-1); Mayor Wise was present, but not voting.
B. Discussion and consideration to approve the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council (LRGVDC) for use of the City Public Works Facility and authorize the Mayor to execute any related documents. Possible action. (Requested by Public Facilities Department.) Attachment. The City Manager requested more time to determine the minimum space requirements. There was no action on this item. Mayor Pro-Tem Cuellar, seconded by Commissioner Tafolla, moved to take item VI. from its posted sequence for immediate consideration. 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. Mr. Hernan Gonzalez stated that at the suggestion of Commissioner Fox, local boxer Omar Figueroa would be wearing the Weslaco Advantage symbol on his shorts at his upcoming match in San Antonio. Commissioner Fox stated that the “Panterita” would be in front of a 20 million person viewing audience this Saturday on Showtime. Mr. Gonzalez stated over 43 companies are located at the industrial park as an ideal central location. Mr. Gonzalez stated that retail sales taxes receipts are at 9.91%. Mayor Pro-Tem inquired about any plan to influence those companies now opening the same box stores as Weslaco in other communities. Mayor Wise stated that the City is still in its infancy when it comes to retail, but feels it’s important to invest in light industry as well as retail.
