Good afternoon and welcome to the city council special called meeting. Before Mayor Parker calls the meeting to order, we ask that you please be seated and silence all electronic devices. For those of you are requested to speak when your name is called, please come forward to the center podium. The countdown
clock is displayed on the left monitor and will indicate how much time is remaining. The bell will sound when you have 30 seconds remaining. Before you begin your comments, please state your name. Thank you. >> Thank you, Janette. I will call our special called meeting to order.
Moving directly to speakers. Correct. >> Yes, mayor. >> Thank you. Our first speaker is Adrienne Smith followed by Daryl Bon. Mr. Smith present. Daryl Bon followed by Eric Creel. Eric Kryle. The only thing I have to say is I've
spoke to council before, so I'm just here um since the resolution's on if you have any questions for me when it comes time to discuss it. >> Next speaker is Daniel Bennett. Don't hold me being festive against me because it's not Thanksgiving yet. This
is my Ted Cruz 2016 sweater. I'm going to wear it today. My name is Daniel Bennett. Um, we had a meeting at TAD. Very much as I suspected, software played a role. They had to pull it from different areas of software to cobble
together to get your votes. Now through Prodigy, the chief appraiser spoke that that will be cleaned up. It will be seamlessly transferred to the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will now print out your votes off the supplemental report and
then he'll be able to input it into your solicitation and send you your votes in the future. That's good news. The bad news, chief appraiser knew about this in June and so did one of the candidates on your
ballot and they both remained silent. Now, is that a problem? Well, I talked to Dr. Angland when this process was happening. She sent an email. That email on September 18th, she got a response. Jodon said,
"Yeah, we messed up." So, still Jod Don did not notify the board of directors and I think I can bore out what's going to happen when they when Mr. Bllock votes to do this
investigation. But let's talk about your vote today. I want to talk about Seda Sad. She's the only candidate that saved your school district. Your school district was about to vote persona nongrada.
They had a meeting on the 28th much as you did. Then they had a meeting on the 29th and you know if you have greater than 5% of the vote you have to vote in the first or second meeting or you forfeit your right to vote. This happened to Arlington in 2023.
Now, in your solicitation, it says in there K1 under 603, but I guess it got glossed over because Carmen Aretta Candeleria, she quit the CFO 23rd of September. It fell through the cracks. Miss Sed was in
Detroit at a wedding. She called me said, "Joe, they have a meeting on the 28th, the meeting on the 29th, and the TAD vote is not on their agenda. What are you? She's at a wedding. So what I did, I called Michael Ryan,
trustee. He contacted Miss Martinez, chair of the board. They cancelled the meeting on the 29th and they rescheduled for today securing the rights of your school district to vote. And Matt, Miss Parker, Mayor Parker, you
were there August 27th in 20 20 was it three? No, what is two years ago? But anyway, >> they secured the right much like you did. Thank you. >> I like to thank this school like to thank you all. >> Council, that's the conclusion of our
speakers on this item. >> Council member Flores, I believe you have a motion. I don't have anybody else sign up for speak, correct? >> No. >> No. Council Flores, Council Blle, excuse me.
Go ahead. >> Mayor, due to my role on the TAD board, out of an abundance of caution, I'll be abstaining from this conversation and vote. >> Thank you, Allan. Council member Flores. >> Thank you, Mayor. Have the following
motion. I move to approve item 25-5518 with the following modification. It is later determined that the city of Fort Worth is entitled to a different number of votes than 281. This resolution will be considered to be authorizing the casting of all such
votes for the named candidate. >> Got a motion council and a second. Any other discussion? If not, please vote. The second was by council crane. Motion carries. >> Mayor, that concludes all of the items.
>> Thank you. Council meeting is adjourned. The city council will now convene into executive session on the following matters.
