(A quorum of the City of Corsicana City Council may be in attendance.)

The City Council of the City of Corsicana currently meets twice monthly in regular sessions on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. A Resolution was passed and approved by the City Council on July 22, 2019, to change the dates of the City Council Meetings scheduled for the month of October 2019.

This resolution will move the regular scheduled sessions of the City Council from Monday, October 14, 2019, to Monday, October 7, 2019, and from Monday, October 28, 2019 to Tuesday, October 29, 2019, satisfying the required two meetings for the month of October. The meeting time will not change from the usual 6:00 p.m.

It has come to my attention that during a recent Texas Municipal League training, attended by a fellow Council Member, a reference to taxation as “shaking the money tree” was made by a presenter. While this comment may have been an attempt at humor, I nor the rest of the Council regard the taxpayers as a money tree. The reference is not humorous and is unacceptable. My sentiment has been conveyed to TML at the highest level. I would like the citizens to know that the Council regards the process of taxation very seriously. This is demonstrated by the consistent tax rate over the last 15 years. The City Charter mandates that the Council exercise fiduciary responsibility in every decision that we make that impacts the citizens.
