The Cuero City Council honored the 1974 backto- back championship Gobbler team as well as teachers at the September 9th regular meeting. Although they approved a second reading of utility rate increases, they denied an increase in rates by the Texas Gas Service Company due to excessive charges.
The meeting began with Presentations and Recognitions, including proclamations for World Teachers Day 2024 and the Golden Gobbler Proclamation 2024. The World Teachers Day proclamation designated October 5, 2024, as Cuero Teachers Day, honoring teachers' vital role in education and urging residents to display light blue ribbons in appreciation. The Golden Gobbler Proclamation declared September 9, 2024, as Golden Gobbler Day, celebrating 50 years since Cuero ISD's first back-to-back state football championship and recognizing the legacy of the Gobblers football program, including the 1973-74 championship teams, coaches, and supporters.
Next, Council entered a Public Hearing to discuss the proposed FY 2024-2025 Budget for the City of Cuero and the proposed tax rate for FY 2024-2025. The proposed tax rate of .3100 is .00749 less than the current rate. There were no public comments for either the proposed budget or the proposed tax rate, and the public hearing was closed. In the Emergency Reading of an Ordinance, Council unanimously approved the proposed FY 2024-2025 Budget and the proposed tax rate.
