Farmer, City Manager From: Stefani Wright,Interim Finance Director Re: Second Public Hearing on the Proposed 2019 Ad Valorem Tax Rate not to exceed $0.2900 per $100 Assessed Valuation of All Taxable Property Within the Corporate Limits of the City of Horseshoe Bay When the maximum proposed tax rate exceeds the effective tax rate. State Law requires the governing body to hold two public hearings before adopting the tax rate. The City's proposed 2019 maximum tax rate of $0.29000 per $100 of taxable value exceeds the effective tax rate of $0.255507. The maximum proposed rate also exceeds the rollback tax rate of $0.27088. The current year's (preceding year) tax rate is $0.26702. Today is the second public hearing on the proposed tax rate. Enclosures: Public Notice NOTICE OF 2019 TAX YEAR PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR CITY OF HORSESHOE BAY A tax rate of $0.29000 per $100 valuation has been proposed for adoption by the governing body of City of Horseshoe Bay. This rate exceeds the lower of the effective or rollback tax rate, and state law requires that two public hearings be held by the governing body before adopting the proposed tax rate. The governing body of the City of Horseshoe Bay proposes to use revenue attributable to the tax rate increase for general maintenance and operations of the City. PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.29000 per $100 PRECEDING YEAR'S TAX RATE $0.26702 per $100 EFFECTIVE TAX RATE $0.25507 per $100 ROLLBACK TAX RATE $0.27088 per $100 The effective tax rate is the total tax rate needed to raise the same amount of property tax revenue for City of Horseshoe Bay from the same properties in both the 2018 tax year and the 2019 tax year. The rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate that City of Horseshoe Bay may adopt before voters are entitled to petition for an election to limit the rate that may be approved to the rollback rate.

Walk-away lease A walk-away lease is more complex. It allows you to use the truck for five or seven years while making payments. It is not necessarily designed for you to own the truck; rather, it is designed to allow you the use of the truck for a set period of time at a set payment. At the end of the term, you have the option to return or walk-away from the payment and truck, purchase the truck for a set amount, or continue making payments until it is paid off. Turn-in lease The turn-in lease is similar to a walk-away lease with a couple of important differences. Like the walk-away lease, this option is designed to allow use rather than ownership of the truck. The difference comes at the end of the financing term, usually five or seven years. At that point, your choice is either to turn in the truck to the manufacturer and receive a new truck or purchase the truck for set amount, which was agreed upon upfront.  '4 /j AREA RESPONSE WATERCRAFT ON LAKE LBJ Granite Shoals VFD Pump not mounted on boat.
