Council Chambers. Mayor Trevino opened the Public Hearing on the proposed tax rate
for Fiscal Year 2007-2008.
Mr. Drew Corn, Budget Director, presented a PowerPoint presentation, giving an
overview of the proposed tax rate. Mr. Corn highlighted the history of the net taxable
values, a breakdown by tax year of appraised values, changes in property value,
proposed property tax rate and property tax revenues and the effect of the property tax
rate on single family residential. The proposed tax rate for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 is 57
cents. If adopted, the 57 cents tax rate will have been maintained for 15 consecutive
years. Mr. Corn advised the effective tax rate of 56.4932 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. The first public hearing was held on August 27.
Mayor Trevino asked for public comments on the proposed 57 cent tax rate.
There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
Mayor Trevino announced that the Council will vote on the proposed tax rate at the
regular 7:00 p.m. Council meeting on September 10, 2007.
