PULBIC HEARING -SEPTEMBER 9, 1997
100 E. BROADWAY ST. -COMMUNITY CENTER
Mayor Mundy called the public hearing to order at 7:06 p.m.

Staff present were Ted Rowe, Kathy Turner, and Lynette Whidden.
ITEM NO. 1 - To receive citizen's input regarding the 1997 proposed tax rate of $0.63 per
$100.00 of taxable value.
Mayor Mundy stated that the advertised rate was set at $0.63 cents per one hundred dollars
because Council had not had the opportunity to review all departmental budgets. Since that time,
Council is looking at a proposed tax rate of $0.60.
Mr. Steve Radakovich, who resides at 731 East Mansfield Highway, Kennedale, Texas signed in
to address Council regarding the proposed $0.63 tax rate. Mr. Radakovich stated that he would
like to see City Council keep the 1996 rate of $0.578077, which would still reflect an increase
due to a rise in property values. He recommended Council take a long hard look at the proposed
budget and find ways to reduce spending.
No other persons signed in to speak for or against the proposed tax rate. Therefore, Mayor
Mundy adjourned the public hearing at 7:31 p.m.
