6 Creeks residents press council to enforce 2017 agreement after higher outside‑city billing

At the start of the citizens' comment period, multiple residents from the 6 Creeks development told the council they are paying higher outside‑city utility rates despite a 2017 development agreement they say guaranteed in‑city pricing. Larry Golick, who identified himself as a representative of 6 Creeks, said the contract language makes council intent clear and that the issue is an administrative implementation failure rather than a policy gap.

"My position is and has been the council's legislative intent is not in question," Golick said, asking the council to bring in outside counsel familiar with the 2017 agreement — specifically Frank Garza — to answer questions about implementation and the city's legal and financial exposure. Another resident, Brian Shockley, told the council the dispute is about "trust" and urged officials to honor commitments that influenced residents' decisions to buy in the development.

Pervez Mohit acknowledged the concern and said staff and council could reaffirm the city's position and that utility billing corrections could be implemented administratively. Council members asked staff to return with legal guidance and a clear written reaffirmation if appropriate. No formal motion or vote occurred in the meeting; residents requested that the city consider engaging outside counsel to avoid further legal wrangling.
