PURDUE PHARMA L.P. & SACKLER FAMILY SETTLEMENT OVERVIEW A proposed nationwide settlement agreement has been reached with Purdue (and certain of its affiliates) and the Sackler family concerning alleged misconduct related to opioids. The proposed settlement is being implemented in connection with Purdue's bankruptcy proceedings, and consists of, among other things, a settlement of Purdue's claims against the Sacklers and certain other parties (referred to as the "Estate Settlement"), and a settlement of direct claims against the Sacklers held by States, local governments and other creditors (the "Direct Settlement", and together with the Estate Settlement, the "Settlement"). The Settlement contemplates that the Sacklers will be paying an aggregate of $6.5 billion in 16 payments over 15 years, including $1.5 billion on the settlement's Effective Date (expected to be in 2026), though some amounts are subject to discounted prepayments. These amounts are in addition to amounts available from the Purdue estate including amounts available on the Effective Date(expected to be around$900 million)and amounts that may be paid in the future. The Settlement also contains injunctive relief governing opioid dispensing practices and requires the successor-in-interest of Purdue Pharma L.P. to implement safeguards to prevent diversion of prescription opioids, and also restrict certain Sacklers from directly or indirectly engaging in the manufacturing or sale of opioids, as detailed in the Settlement. The proposed settlement has two key participation steps now that all eligible states and territories elected to participate in the Direct Settlement. First, eligible subdivisions within each participating state decide whether to participate in the Direct Settlement. The Direct Settlement is documented in the Governmental Entity and Shareholder Direct Settlement Agreement, which is commonly referred to as the "GESA". The more subdivisions that participate, the more funds flow to that state and its subdivisions. Any subdivision that does not participate cannot directly share in any of the Direct Settlement funds, even if the subdivision's state is settling and other participating subdivisions are sharing in settlement funds. YOU MUST PARTICIPATE IN THE DIRECT SETTLEMENT BY RETURNING YOUR PARTICIPATION FORM IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE BENEFITS OF THE SETTLEMENT. Second, concurrently with the solicitation of eligible subdivisions to participate in the Direct Settlement, votes will be solicited for approval of Purdue Pharma L.P.'s bankruptcy plan, which plan will provide distributions in respect of the Estate Settlement. NOT ALL SUBDIVISIONS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SETTLEMENT WILL RECEIVE PACKAGES TO VOTE ON THE PLAN. Please note that this is NOT a solicitation or a request for subdivisions to submit votes on the Purdue bankruptcy plan.This settlement package only pertains to a decision to participate in the Direct Settlement with the Sacklers. If you receive a package to vote on the plan you should follow the applicable instructions for voting. PLEASE NOTE THAT VOTING ON THE PLAN IS SEPARATE FROM PARTICIPATION IN THE DIRECT SETTLEMENT. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO VOTE ON THE PLAN IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE BENEFITS OF THE SETTLEMENT. WHO IS RUBRIS INC.AND WHAT IS THE IMPLEMENTATION ADMINISTRATOR? The Direct Settlement provides that an Implementation Administrator will provide notice and manage the collection of participation forms. Rubris Inc. is the Implementation Administrator for the Direct Settlement and was also retained for the prior national opioid settlements. WHY IS YOUR SUBDIVISION RECEIVING THIS NOTICE? Your state has elected to participate in the Settlement, and therefore your subdivision may participate in the Direct Settlement. This notice is also being sent directly to counsel for such subdivisions if the Implementation Administrator has their information. If you are represented by an attorney with respect to opioid claims,please contact them. Subdivisions can participate in the Settlement whether or not they filed a lawsuit or are represented. WHERE CAN YOU FIND MORE INFORMATION? Detailed information about the Settlement, including each settlement agreement, may be found at: https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/purdue-sacklers-settlements/.

You are encouraged to review the terms of the settlement agreements and discuss the terms and benefits with your counsel,your Attorney General's Office, and other contacts within your state. Your subdivision will need to decide whether to participate in the proposed Settlement, and subdivisions are encouraged to work through this process before the September 30,2025 deadline. HOW DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE SETTLEMENT? The Settlement requires that you take affirmative steps to "opt in"to the Settlement. In the next few weeks, you will receive documentation and instructions from the Implementation Administrator. In order to participate in the settlement, a subdivision must sign and return the required documentation.

PRESENTER: Jeff Garner, Police Chief SUMMARY: The City of North Richland Hills utilizes Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras to increase public safety and aid the Police Department in its crime prevention efforts and strategies. The City has purchased ALPR cameras from Flock Safety, Inc., and needs approval to amend an agreement with TxDOT to install two additional ALPR cameras within TxDOT's right-of-way in the city. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The original agreement with TxDOT was approved by the City Council on December 12, 2022 with Resolution 2022-054. Subsequently, an amendment ("First Amendment") to the agreement was executed in 2024, adding cameras at 5000 Davis Boulevard NB at Maplewood and NE 7900 Boulevard 26. The City of North Richland Hills has engaged the services of Flock Safety, Inc., for the acquisition, installation, maintenance, and monitoring of ALPR cameras. ALPR cameras analyze, capture, and identify characteristics of vehicles, such as license plate number, state recognition, vehicle color, vehicle type, vehicle make and objects (roof rack, unique hubcap, etc.) based on image analytics. It has been determined the optimum vantage point to capture and monitor images of traffic flowing into the city falls within TxDOT's right-of-way. The current proposed installation locations are: Boulevard 26 at Precinct Line Rd (SB) Precinct Line Rd at N. Tarrant Pkwy (SB) k4Ft hJOIF LH KICHLAND HILLS These locations may be modified or changed as needed upon approval of the City and TxDOT. Installation of the poles will meet TxDOT's standards.

PRESENTER: Chase Fosse, Director of Budget & Research SUMMARY: The City Council is requested to amend Ordinance No. 3924 which adopted the tax rate for Tax Year 2025 to satisfy state-mandated disclosure requirements. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: On September 8, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed tax rate for Tax Year 2025 (Fiscal Year 2026) and subsequently approved Ordinance No. 3924 adopting the proposed tax rate. The adopted tax rate of$0.497841 per $100 of valuation was below both the No-New-Revenue tax rate ($0.498625) as well as the Voter-Approval tax rate ($0.511490). The following statutory requirements for the adoption of the Tax Year 2025 tax rate were satisfied or exceeded- 1. No public hearings were required since the proposed tax rate was below the No- New-Revenue rate. To promote transparency, two public hearings were conducted on August 25, 2025, and September 8, 2025. 2. The required "Notice of Meeting to Vote on Tax Rate" was published in the City's newspaper of record after the proposed tax rate was officially set by City Council on August 11, 2025. That notice included the following required table, which compared the proposed tax rate to the prior year's adopted values: TY 2024 TY 2025 Change Total tax rate (per $100 of 0.439369 $0.497841 Increase of 0.003452, or value) 1.73% Averagie hornesteadl taxable value $265„397 285 14 'la'7 Decrease of 0.09 Tax one average homestead) $1,396.70 $1,419.58 Increase of'' 22.'3'3, or 1.64% Total tax levy on all $42,216„590 443,308,412 Increase of'' 1,091,822 or properties 2.59'% k4Ft hJOIF LH KICHLAND HILLS 3. Required notice requirements for the City's website and Citicable were satisfied. In addition to these requirements, state law requires specific language be included in the ordinance adopting the tax rate if the ordinance sets a tax rate that will impose an amount of taxes for maintenance and operations that exceed the taxes imposed for that purpose in the preceding year. This requirement was satisfied by including the following language in the adopting ordinance: THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE. Specific language required by a separate section of state law was omitted from the ordinance. Staff was notified of this discrepancy by the Tarrant County Assessor/Collector's Office after submitting the adopted tax rate for billing purposes. Because the maintenance and operations portion of the tax rate exceeds the no-new- revenue maintenance and operations rate, the following language is required, and is proposed to be added to the amended ordinance: THIS TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 2.058 PERCENT AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY $7.00. Inclusion of this required language does not change the adopted tax rate, nor the fact that the City Council adopted a total tax rate of $0.497841 per $100 of valuation that was below both the total No-New-Revenue tax rate ($0.498625) as well as the Voter-Approval tax rate ($0.511490). This amendment simply incorporates notice language that was omitted from the original ordinance passed by City Council. RECOMMENDATION: Approve an amendment to Ordinance No. 3924 to satisfy 2025 Tax Rate Adoption disclosure requirements. ORDINANCE NO. 3924 AN ORDINANCE SETTING THE TAX RATE; LEVYING AND ASSESSING GENERAL AND SPECIAL AD VALOREM TAXES FOR THE USE AND SUPPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS; APPORTIONING THE LEVIES FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the City of North Richland Hills is a home rule city acting under its charter adopted by the electorate pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 9 of the Local Government Code; and WHEREAS, the City Manager of the City of North Richland Hills submitted a tax rate proposal to the City Council prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, and in said tax rate proposal set forth the estimated necessary tax rate required to provide adequate revenues for the general use and support of the Municipal Government of the City of North Richland Hills; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that all provisions pertaining to the adoption of an ad valorem tax rate have been in all things complied with; and WHEREAS, Public Hearings were held by the City Council for the City of North Richland Hills on August 25, 2025, and September 8, 2025; and WHEREAS, after a full and final consideration, the City Council, being of the opinion that the tax rate should be approved and adopted, approved Ordinance No. 3924 on September 8, 2025, levying and assessing the ad valorem tax rate for the tax year 2025 for the City in accordance with the adopted fiscal year 2026 budget as required by state law; and WHEREAS, as originally adopted, this Ordinance omitted certain language required to be included by State law when the maintenance and operations portion of the tax rate exceeds the no-new-revenue maintenance and operations rate; and WHEREAS, this Ordinance is amended to include the required language in Section 4 of this Ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS, THAT: SECTION 1.

The taxes collected shall be apportioned for the use as follows: (a) For maintenance and operations levied on the $100.00 valuation; $0.346946; and (b) For interest and sinking levied on the $100.00 valuation; $0.150895. All monies collected and hereby apportioned and set apart for the specific purposes indicated and the funds shall be accounted for in such a manner as to readily show balances at any time. SECTION 3. That the tax rate for maintenance and operations of$0.346946 will impose an amount of taxes that exceeds the amount of taxes imposed for that purpose in the preceding year, therefore: THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE. SECTION 4. That the maintenance and operations tax rate of $0.346946 exceeds the no-new-revenue maintenance and operations rate of$0.339949, therefore: THIS TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 2.058 PERCENT AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY $7.00. SECTION 5. It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council that the phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, and sections of this Ordinance are severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section of this Ordinance shall be declared unconstitutional by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, and sections of this Ordinance, since the same would have been enacted by the City Council without the incorporation in this Ordinance of any such unconstitutional phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section. SECTION 6. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage as provided by law, and it is so ordained.

The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that the City of North Richland Hills may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate. The proposed tax rate is not greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that the City of North Richland Hills is not proposing to increase property taxes for the 2025 tax year. A public meeting to vote on the proposed tax rate will be held on Monday, September 8, 2025, at 7.00 PM at the City Hall City Council Chambers, 4301 City Point Drive, North Richland Hills, Texas. The proposed tax rate is also not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, the City of North Richland Hills is not required to hold an election to seek voter approval of the rate. However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the City Council of the City of North Richland Hills at their offices or by attending the public meeting mentioned above.
