REGULAR AGENDA
1. Consider, and act upon, approving the property tax increase reflected in the budget. (L.
Bantz, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Bantz addressed Council stating that the tax rate used in preparing the FY 2017-2018
Proposed Budget is $0.781 per$100 of assessed valuation. This tax rate is below the effective tax rate
of$.781014 and represents a decrease of$0.0679 (6.79 cents) from the tax rate in FY 2016-2017. This
agenda item is required by state law because there will be an increase in total tax revenue the City
receives due to new property that was added to the tax roll and an increase in the total property assessed
valuation. Section 102.007 of the Texas Local Government Code and Texas HB 3195 require the
governing body to hold a separate vote to ratify this increase in property tax revenue that is reflected in
the budget.
Council Action

property tax increase reflected in the FY 2017-2018 Budget. A vote was taken and the motion
passed 6-0 with Councilwoman Arrington absent.

WORK SESSION
• Discuss the status of the hail storm repairs. (C. Hoisted,Asst. City Manager)
Assistant City Manager Chris Hoisted addressed Council stating that included in the council
packet were the total funds collected from the hail storm by location; to date this total is a little
over 3 million dollars. He explained that the estimates for the repair of the Public Safety
Building were also included. He noted there was additional funding available to the City, once
the building is repaired. Those funds include depreciation and overhead.
There are also funds available for the repair of the millennium tile on the three Municipal
Complex buildings. He asked for direction regarding the tile. The options available are: to
replace the tile (depreciation would be reimbursed), replace portions of the tile (depreciation
would be funded for the portions repaired), or use the money toward the repair of the Public
Safety building (no depreciation reimbursed).
City Manager Manson reported that the damage of the tiles was not dramatic and recently one
of the architects from Holzman-Moss had indicated that in his opinion the tile could be left as it
is. If replaced a large portion would have to be to replace, to insure color match.

Mayor Hogue asked if the depreciation would be left on the table if the tile repairs were not
made. Assistant City Manager stated that was correct. Mayor pro tern Stephens asked if the
tile was not replaced and there was another hail storm would the insurance company pay for the
damage. Hoisted replied that if the tile was not replaced, insurance would not cover any future
damage.
Councilman Forrester stated that with 30% depreciation on the tile, which calculates to
approximately $230,000 and the Council chooses not to replace the tile, the City is leaving a
large amount of money on the table. He said it would be beneficial to know the lifespan of the -
millennium tile before making that judgement.
Councilwoman Culver asked Mr. Hoisted if he knew the life cycle of the tile. Mr. Hoisted stated
he did not but would find out and report back to Council.
