1. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mayor Capetillo announced citizens signed up to speak.
a. Linda Miks, 6427 Crosby Cedar Bayou Road commented, "I am back again. I'm not going
to go away. I'm still requesting to be de-annexed from the city.You all,the government code states
that you had two and a half years to provide us services. It's been seven. I've gotten no services. I
don't even have trash pickup. So, I'm not sure what it's going to take, but you all are not doing
anything. It's costing me five times more paying my city taxes as it did for the exact same services
as it did with Harris County. So, I'm requesting to be de-annexed and I am not going away; Thank
you."
b. Gary Vanderbeek, 4403 Crosby Cedar Bayou Road commented, "I'm requesting to have a
meeting with you all. I think we've hashed over a lot of the issues and a lot of it was made public
and stuff like that. But I feel like the only way to resolve that in an equitable manner without
escalating it to a point where the whole city's involved in our personal problems. I'd like to discuss
it in private with you all so that we could resolve it once and for all. I feel like a lot of other people
have been wronged in this too, in your own words. I'm not going to rehash that, but I feel like we
could get a big coalition together and storm the city and I think you all are trying to help us in a

way. I'd like to resolve it before we go to the next level because I feel like I'm outgunned in a sense
because you all have the legal aid and I don't, as of now. Like Ms. Miks said, "we're not going
away". Right is right. I feel like our taxes went out the roof and we get way less than we had before
and that really gets me mad. I looked at my tax bill today that I got from Harris County, you don't
even want to see it. I'm a millionaire. I'd just like to say that I'm a millionaire on paper, but I don't
think I could sell it for that. It's got to the point of absurdity; it's like we're just trying to live. We're
trying to retire. I'm 65 years old and I feel like I'm just;thank you. I just don't want to keep harping.
I just think we need a meeting. I think we need to discuss this in a logical way. Then if I disagree,
I'll have to see if I could get somebody to help me with this, because I feel like we're not getting
anywhere. Thank you, I appreciate it. Thank you so much."
Mayor Capetillo addressed the citizens that spoke and stated, "The citizens request for a meeting
is reasonable and will be arranged with Gary Vanderbeek, Linda Miks, Harvey Ponder, myself,
Council Member Jacob Powell, Council Member James Franco and City Manager Jason Reyn-
olds."
