Resident thanks Liberty Hill leaders for wastewater fee relief

Resident David Quiros of 121 East Myrtle Lane spoke during public comment at the May 20, 2025 meeting to thank the council and staff for waiving half of his wastewater utility connection fee and described the personal impact of that relief.

“I stand before you today, with gratitude to thank you on my behalf for your decision to waive half of my wastewater utility fee connection,” Quiros said. He told the council the relief allowed him “to focus on the essentials that keep my household running” and said the city’s prompt response changed his perception of Liberty Hill government. Quiros specifically thanked City Manager Paul Brandenburg for “the speed and respect with which the city responded to my situation.”

Quiros framed the city’s action as an example of responsiveness and compassion amid local change, referencing community values and longer‑term questions about the city’s direction as it grows. He cited Harvey Cox’s book The Secular City while urging the council to “hold fast” to the spirit of responsiveness and care as Liberty Hill evolves.
