[MUSIC] >> I CALL TO ORDER THE
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON THURSDAY,
SEPTEMBER 22nd, 2022, AT 3:00 P.M. PURSUANT TO
CHAPTER 551 OPEN MEETINGS OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.
DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZENS COMMUNICATION?
NO CITIZENS COMMUNICATION. THEN ITEM NUMBER 3,
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION 2022-114, PUBLIC
HEARING ON 2022, WHICH IS FOR YEAR 2023, PROPOSED
PROPERTY TAX RATE. MR. VICKERS.
>> THANK YOU. SO THIS IS FOR THE REQUIRED
PUBLIC HEARING. THE BOARD AT THE LAST
MEETING PROPOSED A RATE THAT'S NOTED THERE AT THE
TOP OF PAGE 1 OF YOUR AGENDA.
SINCE THAT IS A RATE THAT IS HIGHER THAN THE NO NEW
REVENUE RATE, BUT LESS THAN THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, WE
ARE REQUIRED TO HOLD ONE PUBLIC HEARING PRIOR TO
ADOPTING THE RATE. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT IS.
THERE IS NO ACTION REQUIRED FOR THIS PARTICULAR OTHER
THAN TO ALLOW -- CONDUCT THE ACTUAL PUBLIC HEARING.
I WILL JUST ANNOUNCE ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD THAT THE
BOARD IS SCHEDULED TO ADOPT THE RATE LATER IN THIS
MEETING ON THIS DATE. SO OTHER THAN THAT I'LL TURN
IT BACK TO YOU, CHAIR COMSTOCK, FOR THE PUBLIC
HEARING. >> COMSTOCK: I DO NOT SEE
ANYONE ON THE TV SCREEN, ON THE SCREEN, AND THERE'S NO
ONE PRESENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, SO -- OKAY.
THE OFFICIAL PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND TRUSTEES, THANK YOU ALL
VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE FOR THIS SPECIAL MEETING TODAY.
>> SO NOW WE NEED -- DON'T LET THEM LEAVE YET.
>> NO, DON'T LEAVE. WE STILL NEED TO DO THE
PROPERTY TAX RATE ADOPTION. >> YEAH.
>> MR. VICKERS.
