PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED FY2007 BUDGET AND PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX

adopted rate of $0.30958. The average single-family home in University Park would pay $129
more in taxes than last year, compared with $92 more than last year, if the HPISD requests are
excluded. The effective tax increase would rise from 1.34% to 3.1 %. Texas statutes require that
cities provide notice and hold public hearings before adopting an annual budget and property tax
rate. Mayor Holmes opened the public hearing. Since there was no discussion, Mayor Holmes
closed the public hearing.
There being no further business, Mayor Holmes adjourned the meeting.
