The public hearing is regarding a proposed tax increase. The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate, necessitating the hearing. The proposed tax rate also exceeds the voter-approval tax rate and the de minimis rate, potentially requiring an election for voter approval. Adjustments to the no-new-revenue maintenance and operations rate may apply, related to state criminal justice mandates, indigent health care compensation expenditures, indigent defense compensation expenditures and eligible county hospital expenditures.

The governing body proposed a tax rate and provided information on the no-new-revenue tax rate and voter-approval tax rate. The meeting will address the proposed tax rate, which is not greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. The notice includes details on how to calculate property taxes under different tax rates and lists the members of the governing body, indicating their votes on the proposal. Adjustments to the no-new-revenue maintenance and operations rate related to criminal justice mandates, indigent health care, indigent defense, and eligible county hospital expenditures are discussed.
