Council approved a resolution supporting the appraisal district's proposal to buy additional office space for $350,000, which will come from the district's reserves and won't change the city's assessment.
The Nov. 5 Fair Oaks Ranch meeting also produced a wastewater service agreement for a restaurant tract and a first-reading approval of a budget amendment. The wastewater agreement concerns service to one 1.729-acre restaurant tract, while the budget measure addresses the city's authority to pay debt-related costs. The agreement covers a specific site; the budget ordinance has passed its first reading.
Appraisal district office space
The $350,000 is the appraisal district's proposed use of its reserve fund to expand its current building. The council resolution endorses that plan; it is not evidence that the district has completed a purchase. The reviewed outcome records a unanimous voice vote on the endorsement and says officials did not expect a change to the city's assessment or budget. That distinction matters to city taxpayers evaluating whose money would be used. The appraisal district's own subsequent purchase records are the next place to check whether the plan proceeds.
Debt costs and wastewater service
Council approved the first reading of an ordinance amending the fiscal year 2025-26 budget to increase spending authority in the debt service fund and utility fund to cover debt-related costs, including $800 in bond agent fees and $190,754 in bond issuance costs. This is a first reading, not a final enactment. The reviewed outcome also identifies higher-than-estimated interest among the debt-related costs. The listed figures are components of the amendment, not a household charge or a new borrowing total.
Council approved a resolution authorizing a service agreement with the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) to provide wastewater service to the 1.729-acre Cinco de Mayo restaurant tract at 28313 Leslie Pfeiffer, transferring that area from the city's wastewater service area, at no cost to the city. The reviewed account says the city and SAWS will apply to state regulators for the service-area change. The council's approval authorizes the agreement; the subsequent regulatory record will establish the status of the service-area boundary.
