DuBose ~ SUBJECT Hold a Public Heanng on a proposal to adopt a tax rate of 52815 per $100 valuation, which will exceed the lower of the rollback rate or 103 percent of the effective tax rate BACKGROUND Municipalities are required to publish their rollback tax rates in the newspaper, along with the effective tax rate and other required schedules The rollback tax rate divides the overall property taxes into two categories--maintenance and operations (M&O) taxes and debt service taxes Taxing umts are allowed an eight (8%) percent increase in operating (M&O) taxes without reaching the rollback threshold The effective tax rate is generally the property taxes divided by the current year's taxable values of properties that were on the tax roll in both years This rate excludes taxes on properties no longer in the taxing umt and also excludes the current taxable value of new properties The City of Denton's effective rate is $ 47426/$100 valuation and the rollback rate is $ 55352/$100 valuation The City of Denton's proposed tax rate is $ 52815/$100 valuation and does not exceed the rollback rate but is greater than 103 percent of the effective tax rate As you know, this proposed rate meludes a two (02¢) cent increase for the debt service category that will pay for the bonds of the five (5) year bond program approved in January 2000 The Property Tax Code specifies that "if a taxing unit (other than a school district or small taxing umt) proposes a 2000 tax rate that exceeds the lower of the rollback rate or 103 percent of the effective tax rate, the taxing unit's governing body must vote to place the proposal to adopt the rate on the agenda of a future meeting as an action item" If the motion passes, the governing body must schedule a public heanng on the

the fifth (2003-04) year The proposed tax rate ~s included m the proposed 2000-0~ Annual Program of Services and was dmcussed dunng the budget workshop held on Augustl4, 2000 FISCAL INFORMATION The
