Seadrift workshop opens; residents praise city crews for alley cleanup

Chair opened the workshop and told attendees the session was an open forum for discussion, noting that the group "accepted we did not adopt anything on tax rates" and that the tax impact statement remains available. The Chair reiterated the meeting was for discussion only and that numbers in the draft budget had not changed.

During the public-comment portion, a Committee member used the floor to acknowledge morning work by city crews, saying, "they got out there today and got the alleyway between, Houston and Dallas" nearly finished. Participants suggested the quick response followed citizen reports and praised staff for responding early that morning. The meeting record shows the public-comment slot was listed first on the agenda and that the Chair formally opened the workshop at the start of the discussion.
