WHEREAS, the Texas Tax Code requires a public hearing in the event that the proposed tax rate for the current year exceeds by more than three percent the calculated effective tax rate; and, WHEREAS, the effective tax rate, in general , is that tax rate which would have produced the total tax revenue assessed the previous year if it were applied to the total taxable value assessed in the current year on the properties which were taxed in the preceding year; and, WHEREAS, such effective tax rate is calculated to be 64.2 cents per $100 valuation, and an increase of three percent in such effective tax rate would give a tax rate of 66.12 cents per $100 valuation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT: It is proposed that the Board of Aldermen will consider setting a tax rate higher than 66.12 cents per $100 valuation, which exceeds the calculated effective tax rate by more than three percent; public notice shall be given of this proposal , and a public hearing on such proposed increase shall be held on Thursday, September 23, 1982 at 8:30 o'clock A.M. in the Council Room of Memorial Auditorium Building, at which hearing proponents and opponents of the tax increase will be afforded adequate opportunity to present their views.

Ernest Lillard stated that they are completed there. It is now at Weeks Park Lane and Midwestern Parkway, and it will take a few more days to complete that. He further stated that the cleaning and clearing will not go back to the lake. If it floods, it will not cause any problems. They are only going as far as South Lake Park Drive and Schlumberger. It is not worth the expenditure of funds to clean it up all the way to the lake. The motion was carried by the following vote.

Moved by Alderman Wilson that Resolution No. 156-82 be passed. Motion seconded by Alderman Russell . Alderman Russell asked if there is any indication if there are other property owners in the area that will be interested in obtaining water? Will we be seeing other applications? Roger McKinney, Director of Planning, stated that Mr. Bradley indicated there are only three homes in that area. If some of these ranchers start selling off their land we will see other requests, but he could not get this information from Wichita Valley. Alderman Shearman asked if the pipe costs the City anything? Mr. McKinney stated that it is- paid for by Wichita Valley. Alderman Hampton noted that Electra is closer at this point than anything else. It is closer than Iowa Park. We need to think about this for the future. Mr. McKinney stated that both of these tracts are in excess of 900 acres. Alderman Hampton stated that there is another house which is apparently not connected at this time, and feels that there will be a request for another connection there soon.
