Mr. Drew Corn, Budget Director, presented a PowerPoint presentation, giving an
overview of the proposed tax rate. Mr. Corn discussed the history of the net taxable
values, 2006 appraised values, and changes in property value. The proposed tax rate
for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is 57 cents. The 57 cents tax rate has been maintained for
14 consecutive years. Mr. Corn advised the effective tax rate of 56.7969 cents is the
property tax rate necessary to produce the same amount of property tax revenues as
the prior year. Because the proposed rate is higher than the effective tax rate, two
public hearings are required.
Mayor Trevino asked for public comments on the proposed 57¢ tax rate.
There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
Mayor Trevino announced the second public hearing will be held on August 28, 2006
and the tax rate will be adopted on September 11, 2006.
