The City has CHANGED this agenda because the meeting will be held at the Simonton Community Church and NOT at Simonton City Hall. This is because construction has begun on the re-build of the City Council Chamber.

The Simonton City Council hold a “Special Meeting” on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. The meeting begins at 6:00 PM at Simonton City Hall. 

The most notable item relates to an attempted “Re-Do” of the Tax Rate Adoption that failed due to the lack of a “Super Quorum” because two members were “no-shows” at the “Regular City Council Meeting”. 

Interested parties should review the agenda to better understand the issues to be discussed. 

The public is encouraged to attend and to participate in sharing their thoughts and concerns via “Public Comments”.

See you there!

Watch the meeting live or watch it later
As before, I plan on live-streaming the meeting via my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SimontonTexas/ 

In the event that I am unable to stream the meeting, I will post the video as quickly as possible. Of course, it will be presented prominently on this website as well.

Important Notice and Disclosure:
I do not edit and have never intentionally edited a Simonton City Council meeting except to add titles where necessary, to exclude portions of the video immediately prior to and immediately following the official meeting, and where personal attacks are used to intentionally harrass, slander, defame, harm, injure, or otherwise attack persons in the gallery, including myself as I will not be party to such behavior. 

Consequently, I reserve the right, at my sole discretion, to silence, redact or fully remove portions of the final video where any person intentionally uses the videos I produce as their personal platform, wherein the video record may otherwise be used in an effort to create and a record of or otherwise document any personal attack on any member of the gallery, including myself.

Note, however, when comments are made that relate specifically to the city and their business, I fully intend to ensure that those comments are heard.

Regarding Internet Bandwidth Drop Outs:
Any “skips” that may occur during a live-stream, causing the video to be interrupted momentarily, are beyond my control and occur when the bandwidth from my internet provider drops out during a live stream broadcast. These are going to happen from time to time and are unavoidable when wireless internet is used.

In general, as the public will see by the online record, in order to provide the most complete recording possible with the best audio I am able to provide, I have begun posting the full, higher-quality video from my video camera on 

YouTube the following day or as soon as possible after the meeting.
