Red River County

This Mitigation Action Plan for Red River County, Texas, serves as a five-year update to reduce long-term loss of life and property from natural hazards. The plan outlines strategies across five key goals: protecting life and property, increasing public awareness, preserving natural systems, encouraging partnerships and implementation, and strengthening emergency services. It aims to enhance the safety and security of the county and its participating jurisdictions by reducing risk and vulnerability through coordinated hazard mitigation efforts, with a focus on the period from 2019 to 2023.

The Rivercrest Independent School District is holding a bond election to authorize the issuance and sale of $23,000,000 in bonds. These funds will be used for the construction, renovation, improvement, acquisition, and equipment of school buildings, including necessary sites, and the purchase of new school buses. The proposition includes the authorization to levy and pledge annual ad valorem taxes to pay the principal and interest on the bonds. The document provides details on the election date, voting locations, early voting schedule, and ballot language.

The Red River County is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2020 tax year. A public hearing was scheduled to discuss the proposed tax rate, which is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate but not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. The calculation of taxes under different rates, the comparison of taxes on the average residence homestead, and the county's spending on indigent health care were reviewed.
