Important Election Reminder

Early Voting is at City Hall in City Secretary’s office – 710 E. San Augustine.

Remaining days:
• Monday, 4/28 from 8am to 5pm
• Tuesday, 4/29 from 8am to 5pm.

Election Day is Saturday, May 3, 2025 – 7am to 7pm – City Hall, Council Chambers

There are only two measures on the ballot since the mayor and council positions are uncontested.

The measures relate to the special tax districts supporting public safety – Crime Control & Prevention and Fire Control Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District (which supports the Volunteer Fire Department, Fire Marshal’s Office and EMS). The two measures are for renewal of the each district for 20 years and renewal of each associated ¼ cent sales tax for the same period.

The two districts were voted into existence in 2011 by the voters and renewed again in 2016 for 10 years and up for renewal again in 2025.
The ¼ cent sales tax for the Fire Control Prevention and EMS District is necessary to support the 100% volunteer fire department in purchase personal protective equipment, obtaining emergency communication equipment and maintaining fire and rescue tools, which are required for handling emergencies effectively.
The ¼ cent sales tax for the Crime Control & Prevention District has contributed to various aspects of the Police department including supporting addition of staffing positions, the acquisition of vehicles and purchase of investigative hardware and software. It has improved the department’s capabilities and its services to the community.

Voting “For” means that district(s) and their ¼ cent sales tax will continue for another 20 years.

Voting “Against” means that the district(s) and their funding will expire in May 2026.

The Deer Park Police Department (DPPD) is excited to announce the addition of game-changing technology to its toolkit, thanks to the incredible generosity of OxyChem. DPPD has acquired two cutting-edge drones that will be instrumental in swift and effective search and rescue operations and enhanced situational awareness during emergency response incidents. With a flight ceiling of hundreds of feet, a range of several miles, and a top speed of 40 miles per hour, these drones will significantly boost the department’s ability to serve and protect the Deer Park community. The drones are small and agile and can search all different types of structures. The Deer Park Police Department extends its sincere gratitude to OxyChem for their invaluable support in making Deer Park safer.

 It’s tax season. Here are some tips to protect yourself from tax identity theft:

– Be aware of IRS scams; IRS will not ask you to pay with a gift card, over the phone.
– Don’t give out your personal information to just anyone.
– Avoid carrying your social security card.
– Shred your documents.
– Ignore threatening calls and texts from criminals posing as IRS or Law Enforcement.
– Be aware of phishing emails and texts. Don’t click on the link when you get a notification for you to log in to verify your information. Verify that information separately by looking up the contact information yourself.

Of course it is! Today is National Use Your Gift Card Day so by all means let’s go shopping!

But, lets get real. ONLY SCAMMERS TELL YOU TO BUY A GIFT CARD TO PAY THEM. Let us say it louder for those in the back. ONLY SCAMMERS TELL YOU TO BUY A GIFT CARD TO PAY THEM.

Below is information from our friends at Federal Trade Commission

Did someone tell you to buy a gift card to pay a fine or bill? Stop. It’s a scam. No real business or government agency will ever tell you to buy a gift card to pay them. Here’s how to spot and avoid gift card scams.

Gift card scams start with a call, text, email, or social media message. The person contacting you is, they say, from the government or a company you know. (They’re not.) They say to pay right away or something terrible will happen. (It won’t.)

Scammers rush you because they don’t want you to have time to think about what they say or talk to someone you trust. The scammer will tell you which gift cards to buy and where to buy them. Sometimes, they’ll stay on the phone with you while you go to the store and load money onto the card. They want you to think they’re helping you. (They’re not.) Once you add money to the card and give scammers the gift card number, your money is gone. If you get a call like this, hang up the phone.

If you bought a gift card and gave someone the numbers off the back of the card:

Report the gift card scam to the gift card company right away. No matter how long ago the scam happened, report it. Use the How To Contact Gift Card Companies list to report it. It helps to have the gift card and store receipt handy, if possible.
Ask for your money back. Some companies are helping stop gift card scams and might give your money back. It’s worth asking.
Tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Your report makes a difference and helps protect your community from fraud and scams.
