ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE, I'VE INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA
ALL OF THE REQUIRED PUBLICATIONS THAT AS KIND OF
EVIDENCE THAT THEY'VE BEEN MADE, SO THIS INCLUDES THE
NOTICE IN THE PAPER. THERE'S PUBLICATIONS THAT
WE'RE NOW REQUIRED TO MAKE ON OUR WEBSITES AND WITH THE
COUNTIES. SO I'VE ACTUALLY INCLUDED
ALL OF THOSE IN THE PACKET. AND THE PROPOSAL IS FOR US
NOW TO ADOPT THE RATE THAT THE BOARD APPROVED.
THERE IS A VERY SPECIFIC MOTION.
IT'S IN -- ACTUALLY SHOWN THERE IN QUOTES IN THE
RECOMMENDATION SECTION. SO THAT IS THE RECOMMENDED
AND REQUESTED ACTION. IF YOU SEE RIGHT THERE IT
STARTS WITH "I MOVE THAT." THAT WOULD BE THE MOTION
THAT NEEDS TO BE READ. >> COMSTOCK: I'LL ACCEPT A
MOTION. DR. MINK?
>> Mink: DR. COMSTOCK, CAN YOU READ THE MOTION AND THEN
ONE OF US CAN SECOND IT SINCE WE'RE ALL ON VIRTUAL?
>> COMSTOCK: OKAY. I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAX
RATE BE INCREASED BY THE ADOPTION OF A TAX RATE OF
.0987, WHICH IS .0852 FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
AND .0135 FOR DEBT SERVICE, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 7.5%
INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. >> MINK: I'LL SECOND THAT
THEN. >> I CAN MOVE THAT.
>> COMSTOCK: OKAY, ALL IN --
>> YEAH, THE CHAIR CAN MAKE A MOTION IN YOUR SYSTEM.
IT JUST NEEDS SOMEBODY ELSE TO SECOND IT.
DOESN'T IT REQUIRE A ROLL CALL VOTE BECAUSE YOU'VE
GONE ABOVE THE NO NEW TAXES RATE?
>> I'M SORRY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY --
>> CALL BY NAME AND VOTE. >> YOU HAVE TO CALL BY NAME
AND THEY SAY YES? >> I'M ACTUALLY NOT AWARE OF
THAT. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT
REQUIRES TO HAVE THE -- >> SPECIAL LANGUAGE IN THE
MOTION. >> COMSTOCK: SO IT HAS BEEN
MOVED AND SECONDED AND BASICALLY THAT THE PROPERTY
TAX RATE INCREASE BY THE ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE TO
.0987, WHICH IS .0582 FOR MAINTENANCE AND .035 FOR
SERVICE. WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 7.5%
INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. DR. MINK?
