for administrative costs.

Agenda Item #7-N. PUBLIC HEARING to Consider a Proposal to Increase Taxes
Curtis Hawk, City Manager, stated Chapter 26 of the State Property Tax Code requires the City
of Southlake to comply with truth-in-taxation laws in adopting the FY 1996-97 tax rate. On
August 3, 1996, the City published its "1996 Property Tax Rates in the City of Southlake,' or
effective tax rate notice, which also included the notice and hearing limit tax rate, and the rollback
tax rate, as follows:
Effective tax rate $.39034/$100
Notice and hearing tax limit $.40205/$100
Rollback tax rate $.43471/$100
The notice and hearing limit tax rate is 3 % over the calculated effective tax rate. The rollback
tax rate divides the overall tax rate into two categories: maintenance and operations and debt
service. The rollback rate allows for the debt service portion of the tax rate to increase to cover
expected debt service for the coming budget year.
The proposed FY 1996-97 Budget is based on a $.422/$100 tax rate, the same rate adopted for
the FY 1995-96 Budget. Because the proposed $.422/$100 tax rate exceeds the notice and hearing
limit tax rate, the City must hold a public hearing on a proposal to increase taxes. After the
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES--REGULAR MEETING ON 8/20/96 * PAGE 14 of 24
Council holds a public hearing on the tax increase, the City will be required to publish a notice
in the newspaper, "Notice of Vote on Tax Rate." This notice will indicate the date to adopt the
tax rate, currently set for the September 3, 1996 meeting.
PUBLIC HEARIIN'G: No comments were received during the public hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING:
Carol Lee Hamilton, Cross Timber Drive, Southlake. Ms. Hamilton stated the Park and
Recreation Board has suggested Council consider a recreation monitor, as there has been a

much), they feel there needs to be someone there to open and lock up the facility. She asked for
Council consideration.
Jim Giffin, 3002 Briar Lane, Southlake. Mr. Giffin stated the budget is an important issue for
the general public and he feels it should have been moved up on the agenda for those who have
to leave early. He feels Council should set priorities in the budget, namely, heath, safety, and
welfare, with the health and safety issues being funded first. He stated he considers the welfare
items as park and recreation and community programs. Mr. Giffin stated the City owes it to the
homeowners to provide adequate water for health and safety.

Curtis Hawk, City Manager, explained the FY 1996-97 budget submitted to the City Council
proposes a tax rate of $.422 per $100 of a property's taxable value. Part of the tax rate, $. 17238
per $100, pays for the retirement of debt that is due during the 1996-97 budget year. The
remainder of the tax rate, $.24962 per $100 is used to support General Fund operations of the
City, such as police, fire, and inspections. State law requires the City to adopt the tax rate in
these two components. Total taxable value in the City is $1,281,650,132, which is the value of
properties as of January 1, 1996.
City Manager, Curtis Hawk, stated approval of this ordinance on first reading does
not mean changes could not be made to the budget prior to second reading.

AGENDA ITEM #4 -C
SPIN /CITY COUNCIL REPORT - August 20, 1996
Good evening Mr. Mayor and members of the City Council. I am Janet
Murphy, SPIN Standing Committee Representative for SPIN Neighborhood
#4. My neighborhood is located in the central portion of Southlake. It is
bordered by White Chapel Boulevard on the West, Dove Road on the North,
Short Avenue on the East and Southlake Boulevard on the South. It basically
encompasses most of the Hwy 114 corridor. This building we meet in tonight
is located within SPIN #4. SPIN #4 is a very large neighborhood
geographically but currently rather sparsely populated. At the present time
we are a collection of about 50 single family residences rather than developed
subdivisions and we have large tracks of undeveloped pasture land.
The SPIN Standing Committee wishes to report:
That SPIN is alive and well as evidenced by the several well attended
Community Meetings held since our last report.
A Community Meeting for all neighborhoods was held on July 22, 1996.
David MacMahan of Pima Properties discussed proposed redevelopment of
Crossroads Square Center. About 30 citizens were in attendance.
A Community Meeting for all neighborhoods was held on July 24, 1996.
Representatives of Toll Brothers discussed proposed development of the
Goode Airport land into 138 residential lots. About 75 citizens were in
attendance.
A Community Meeting for neighborhoods 11, 13 & 14 was held on August
13, 1996. Larry Flynn discussed his proposed development of an office
center, Southlake Professional Plaza. About 39 citizens were in attendance.
We also have several upcoming neighborhood meetings. On August 22nd,
SPIN #3 neighborhood is meeting at the Community Building. SPIN
Neighborhood #9 is sponsoring a meeting on August 26th with Greg Last
discussing development issues at the Community Building. And, on August
27th there will be a meeting to select SPIN representatives to fill vacancies in
neighborhoods #10 and #14.
August 20, 1996
SPIN /City Council Report continued
Community meetings have been scheduled for September 24th and October
2nd to review the final proposals for the Master Plans for Bicentennial Park
and Bob Jones Park with all interested Southlake citizens.
SPIN has extended an offer of assistance to the Carroll School District to help
with disseminating information to Southlake citizens. Our Standing
Committee meeting on August 29th at the Community Building will feature
CISD Superintendent, Ted Gillum, discussing district projections and a bond
proposal overview.
And finally, we would like to thank Mayor Stacy, Councilmember Fawks,
and Councilmember Martin for attending our joint City Council/SPIN
Standing Committee meeting held on July 25th. Our next joint meeting is
scheduled for October 24th. We hope you all will be able to attend.
Unless there are any questions, this concludes my report.
Thank you for the opportunity to address you this evening.

Attn: Curtis Hawk
City Manager
1725 E. Southlake Blvd.
Southlake, TX 76092
Dear Mr. Hawk:
This is to request an increase to $4,000 in city budget funding for the Lake Cities
Community Band. The current annual cities' grant of $1,000 has been of great
benefit to the band during the past four years. It has helped the band maintain a
program of musical appreciation and participation for the citizens of Southlake.
Increases in the costs for running the band, along with reductions in funding from
surrounding communities, have changed our organization's financial structure.
.. We would like to present the benefits of this financial support to you and the city
council. The band is a genuine community asset that provides access and
participation in the arts, supports community cultural events, and provides
educational programs to both children and adults within our community.
I will contact you in the future to arrange a time for further discussion of this
request, or you may contact me at your convenience. My telephone number is 488-
5310. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Dedrick
President
AGENDA ITEM #6
PUBLIC FORUM
Lake Cities Community Band
1996 - 1997 Budget Proposal Fact Sheet
The Organization
• A strong local arts program is important to the development of a growing city.
• The Lake Cities Community Band is a community asset which can help provide a
focus for the expansion of arts programs in the City Of Southlake.
• The band is a non - profit group organized in Southlake in 1992. The majority of
Its members and leadership live in Southlake.
• The Community Band provides entertainment and educational programs to
citizens of the city. These programs are aimed at adults as well as the young
people of our community.
The Funding Request
• The annual budget of the Lake Cities Community Band is over $5,000 per year.
• Major cost items are, sheet music, equipment, concert production costs, director
fees, publicity and administrative expenses.
• During past years many expenses were offset by donations from the city of
Grapevine and from miscellaneous donations including proceeds from the
Chamber of Commerce's Southlake Stakeout.
• One -time donations have become unreliable and we no longer receive regular
support from the City of Grapevine.
• This proposal will ensure a level of reliable funding upon which the Band can
base a secure schedule of programming for the community.
