Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Pursuant to Section 102.007(c) of the Texas Local Government Code, the City Council must take a separate vote to ratify the property tax increase reflected in the budget since the budget will require raising more revenue from property taxes than in the previous year. This vote is separate and distinct from the vote adopting the budget and the vote on the tax rate required by Chapter 26 of the Texas Tax Code.
