<br />the Regular Meeting held September 12, 1983. Mr. Brown moved for approv-
<br />al of the minutes and Mr. Guerra seconded the motion, which passed unani-
<br />mously.
<br />
<br />Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of reappointment
<br />of Marcos Hernandez as Municipal Court Judge. Mayor Craddock moved to

<br />unanimously.
<br />

<br />of Vincent Luizzi as Associate Municipal Court Judge. Mr. Farr moved
<br />to appoint Dr. Luizzi and Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed
<br />unanimously.
<br />
<br />Mayor Craddock advised the Council would receive the appraisal roll
<br />and effective tax rate from Tax Assessor-Collector Charles Stone.
<br />The Council received the certified tax roll. The taxable value is
<br />$379,289,773. In conjunction with the next item on the Agenda, for
<br />the Council to determine the tax revenue and rate requirements, Mr.
<br />Stone presented the following to the Council: From a certified tax-
<br />able value of $379,289,773 available revenue, at 90% collection, would
<br />be: @671 tax rate = $2,287,117; @681 tax rate = $2,321,253; and @691 =
<br />$2,355,389. Mr. Stone advised a tax increase to 69 cents is required
<br />unless the Council cuts the budget adopted September 12, 1983. Mr.
<br />Stone advised if the Council set the rate at a figure greater than
<br />69 cents, they could not set the tax rate by Ordinance at this
<br />meeting, but must set a public hearing. Mr. Henry Kyle objected to
<br />the manner used in arriving at the tax rate because he said it did
<br />not include the City's fund balances.
<br />
<br />Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration adoption of an Ordinance
<br />on emergency, the caption which was read as follows:
<br />
<br />AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
<br />MARCOS, TEXAS, SETTING THE TAX RATE FOR SAID CITY FOR
<br />THE 1983 TAX YEAR; LEVYING TAXES FOR THE USE AND SUP-
<br />PORT OF THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT OF SAID CITY FOR THE
<br />FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1983, AND ENDING SEPTEM-
<br />BER 30, 1984; PROVIDING A SINKING FUND FOR THE RETIRE-
<br />MENT OF THE BONDED DEBT OF SAID CITY AND DECLARING AN
<br />EMERGENCY.
