City Budget Hearing

TYLER — Wednesday offers another chance for Tylerites to weigh in on the city’s 2010-2011 budget. One of three remaining opportunities for public input on the budget is set for at 9 a.m. at City Hall. Citizens can also make their voices heard at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8, and Wednesday, Sept. 22; the 22nd is the date scheduled for final budget adoption. The proposed budget calls for maintaining the existing “effective tax rate,” which is essentially the tax rate calculated to generate the same amount of revenue that was received in the last fiscal year. The effective rate is 20.8 cents per $100 valuation. You can go to http://www.cityoftyler.org for more information.
