“That will cost the city about $71,346, according to the development agreement…the city’s $21,600 payment toward Willis Street drainage prompted extended discussion at last week’s meeting…..Talbert voiced concerns about the street maintenance fund, as Cox said the city payments for the Rice Street extension plus the Willis curb and gutter will use about $75,000 of the $100,000 budget for the year…..A motion to approve all the proposed terms with Finney – including the city payments for Rice Street and Willis Street – passed 5-2.”
Dispatch article about how you suckers are going to pay for Deorald’s mansion:
“The Lampasas City Council has proposed to increase the municipal property tax rate…..Mayor Misti Talbert said she does not want to raise taxes or pay more herself, but she believes it is time. An increase in the tax rate is necessary in the upcoming fiscal year, Talbert said, because the cost of city services has risen over the last several years…a potential tax increase — combined with taxable values that, on average, have increased in the past year — could mean higher city tax bills in the upcoming fiscal year.”
