The Rockdale City Council, meeting in the second of two budget sessions Tuesday evening, has proposed a 94.99-cent tax rate for 2019-2020.
If adopted in the council’s September monthly session, the rate would reflect a 3.81-cent tax increase over the current 91.18.
HEARINGS—But first, the public will get a chance to provide input with two public hearings scheduled, Aug. 19 and Aug. 26.
Both are at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, southwest corner of Cameron and Wilcox (US 79 and FM 487).
The tax rate was proposed Tuesday in a 4-1 vote with council members Jason Barcak, Michelle Larkin, Richard Coppedge and Denise Wallace voting in favor and Belinda Hill-house voting against.
Up to four budget sessions had been scheduled for this week but after Tuesday’s vote the remaining sessions were canceled.
