5.1. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on the 2022-2023 ad valorem tax rate; and
calling a public hearing on a proposed ad valorem tax rate for FY 2022-2023.

proposed tax rate of 52.4613 cents per $100 assessed valuation is the same as the current tax rate. If
the governing body considers a proposed tax rate above the no-new-revenue rate but below the voter-
approval rate, the City will have to publish a notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase and hold a
public hearing. The public hearing on the tax rate can be held on the same date as the tax rate adoption.
Staff proposed rate of 52.4613 per $100 of assessed valuation and calling a public hearing on the tax
rate. If Council chooses to propose any rate up to the voter-approval rate, a public hearing on the tax
rate would be needed and the remainder of the budget calendar would be adjusted to accommodate.
