V. PUBLIC COMMENT ON PROPOSED TAX RATE(3 MINUTES EACH)
Citizens Terri and Tim Kelly addressed Council to inquire about the proposed tax rate increase for FY 98-
99. Although the increase stayed below the roll-back rate and was not out of line with other cities,they felt
it was still a larger increase than those proposed by neighboring communities. They also asked if the
proposed budget would be available for review. Mayor Bauder explained that the City of Cibolo had
lowered our rate for two successive years making our rate one of the lowest in the area. However,
payments for several large projects such as major road repairs,the Niemietz Park improvement project,and
equipment replacement were due during this fiscal year,and even drawing on our reserves,the tax rate
would have to come up more in line with other cities. Tom Newman added that,once the tax rate was
proposed and the draft budget was accepted as the proposed budget,the proposed City budget would be
posted for public review in City Hall.
