Sachse proposes same tax

SACHSE-lncreased property
values will allow the city to main-
tain its current tax rate of 6747
cents pier $100 valuation and still
add $100,000 to its 1998-'99 annu-
al budget, citizens were told last
week at a public bearing.
“The proposed .6747 per $100
of assessed value is the same tax
rate as the current year." said
Mayor Hugh Cairns. “However, it
represents a two-cent tax increase
in the effective tax rate. Although
there are no proposed fee increas-
es, the owner of an average borne
in Sachse would see a $9 increase
in property taxes."
Because of the increase in prop-
erty values, the effective tax rate -
the amount needed to generate the
same revenue as fiscal year 1997-’
98 - is .65289. The funds generated
by keeping the tax rate the same
will go to finance two new patrol
officers, a new police car and there
will be nearly a 50 percent increase
tn the street improvement budget
Cairns said.
In other business, the city's new
director of public works. Stan
Seward, was introduced. Seward,
former director of streets for the
city of Ennis, is developing a plan
for putting the 100 block numbers
on street identifications signs and
is investigating any discrepancies
within the city's wastewater sys-
tem. “Even though Mr. Seward has
only been employed by the city for
a few weeks, be has taken the ini-
tiative to address some of these
concerns." Cairns said.
Also, during the citizen input
portion of the meeting, resident
Elame Maron requested the coun-
cil consider implementing a bicy-
cle helmet law for children 12
years of age and younger.
Resident Jim Becker expressed
concern over the terms of the city's
contract with the North Texas
Municipal Water District “Each
year the city has a minimum
amotmt of water to purchase w hich
is determined by the prior year's
consumption." be said “This is
called a take or pay rule Because
of this year's drought . we have
established a very high minimum
for next year and even with the
city’s growth we are at risk of not
off-setting the increased consunp-
bon“
Officials said they bad written to
NTMWD and asked for a modifi-
cation contract
