001in the Hister administration building to all. We're going to open up our meeting with our invitation given by we're back. of our invocation this evening given by Chief Cunningham followed by our pledge of allegiance by Trusty Tenant. Y'all please stand with us. >> That's great. Heavenly Father, we come tonight to give thanks to you whom all our blessings flow. We thank you father for allowing us to live in this great country and this great city and this great Spain and be a part of this school district. Now we ask blessing upon our superintendent upon our school board as they lead us and guide us in learning. Now God I ask that you bless every parent. Ask that you bless every student, every administrator and every employee of this district. Lord help us to do according
002to your will. And father we pray now that you will bless as we go through this year. We give you praise, honor and glory in the most powerful name we know in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. >> Thank you. To the flag of the United States of America and to the stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. All right, moving straight into our celebration of excellence. This evening, we're going to be honoring some Bay City High School students that passed their AP exam. Good evening, Mer. How are you? >> Good. Um, we are really excited. Of course, every year part of our CCMR, we take allow students to take the Spanish language test as well as our chemistry test. Those are the two main courses that we have.
003So, we have 35 students that actually pass the AP exam to get college credit. And Miss Lopez, our college and career leaison, is going to give you a little bit more information on that. >> So, today we're going to take on one of the high school's biggest academic challenges, which is advanced, and our kids absolutely crushed it. So, 35 students pass either the AP chemistry or AP Spanish language exam, and that is no small feat. So, either better 10 of those students are getting perfect score of five which is like the gold medal of AP testing >> and thanks to their success many will receive college credit anywhere from three to 15 hours and basically high school earn 16 more points so showing we're preparing students for what's next working overtime and our school get
004smarter by every minute so a huge thank you to them to the teachers who make this possible and their dedication made the difference so pretty so some of these students are here some of these students have other commitments. Some of them have jobs. Some of them already for college. So, but we're still going to name them. Um, AP chemistry is intense. It's not just formula and labs. It's basic all year and students passed it. So, when I call your name, please come forward. Aaron Bud. [Applause] AP Spanish. Now many might speak Spanish, but writing persuasive essays, analyzing the text and speaking poorly under pressure a totally different level and I would not be able to pass this exam. So these students didn't just speak it, they performed it. Please come forward. Georgia, Puko, Aarosa, Iris,
005one Christina Duran River, Angela Garcia, Carlo Garcia, Andrea Garcia, Ed Hernandez, Emilia Hernandez, Vera Lopez. [Applause] worth it. [Applause] Juan Perez, Mia Perez, Officer, Joselyn Roas, Alandro Rubio, Jasmine Rubio. What did you expect? Amanda Silva. Jazelle Samarino. We're really proud of our students. Um they made us really proud of this performance. Um and some of them actually even earned a reimbursement check back. So this [Applause] picture board [Music] two lines in the back. window. [Music] I'm gonna need y'all to a little bit more. Sorry. One, two, three. Perfect. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Take time. [Music] Thank you, Miss for all that y'all do at the high school. I know it is that is no small feat to get those students to where they are and that's amazing. We had so many of them and so many
006that passed chemistry Last year, I think we had quite a few, but I don't know if we this year. >> Yeah. I was like, I don't know if we had many chemistry last year. So, that's a huge that's a huge day. So, congratulations to the high school and to all the work that you're doing because it doesn't just happen at the high school. Yes, that's where they take the test, but it starts starts at the beginning. So, thank you'all for what you're doing. All right, moving on to good news. Does anybody have any good news from since we got last in July? Want to thank the staff for a great first week of school. Didn't hear many complaints at all. I know how much people love to complain, but I think pick up and drop
007off was probably the the least amount of Facebook uh drama that we've seen here. So, you guys got it down this year. >> Anything else? >> Football start >> first home game next Friday. Not this Friday. The next Friday scrimmage on >> the scrimmage on Thursday here at home. >> Yes, >> I know. I attended a couple meet the teachers that were fantastic. Uh I had not had a student at the junior high in that one had so many people the lines were wrapped around the building to collect and get schedules. So I think the parent involvement that has been such a focus the past couple years of getting parents to to come and to be involved because that's part of the process. I think we're seeing some some fruit of that labor and I
008know that has not been easy work for all campuses but it is definitely starting to blossom and bloom. So, thank y'all for for that work. Um, for sure. Is there anything else that anybody has? All right, we have no audience with patrons this evening. So, we will move straight into our next item of business which is Bay City Governance. So, Mr. H is going to present to you guys. >> Well, I can say something real quick. So, yo, you're fine. But as everyone knows that watches and that sits at this table, we have been doing LSG for a few years since 2022 somewhere around that neighborhood. Um, and there were discussions at the end of last year to is there something that we can do that will serve our district? Still focusing on student outcomes
009and goals, but is there something that we can kind of make our own and tweak to be what is best for Bay City, excuse me, and where we're headed. So, we are stepping away from LSG, but now we're doing BCG, which is Bay City government. So, it's very similar to what LSG was. will be still be focusing on HP3 goals, goals for kindergarten through to that third grade and then all of the goals that we were focusing on. Um just doing it with a little bit different with a little bit more flexibility to be able to fit what is best for our students and for our district. >> All right. Good evening. We have we have some technical difficulties here. So I'm gonna just do it a little backwards instead of actually doing the numbers
010kind of come up and it's just a quick over the year. So, uh, for this one, for this presentation here, it's it's going to be our all final star results for all of our campuses. That's what you'll see here. We've already had it ahead of time. The data here, the graphs up a little better, this next one here. And I want to identify some trends that we're seeing obviously, and it's some opportunities for growth and obviously lots of there. So, some great increases that we've seen levels all through our district. uh next month when we look at September as far as BCG we joined up here with uh this closure right we'll be talking about CCMR and A3F accountability ratings and A3F as you know has been published already uh we've had some some steps
011in the right direction obviously goals and some target areas that we want to try to focus on to expand that so our continue to rise within this district uh the high schools stay steady with their junior high one letter and then of course at homes they came up one more as well. So there's been some great growth in those areas, the other campuses we're stay a lot of these seas, but I feel very confident confident with the people you see sitting there and the ones that are working on the campus that we'll have a lot of great moving forward. I don't know. So wait till September to get to there. Still getting closer in October uh which is a great month for a lot of reasons. Halloween of course. Uh we have uh Roberts will
012be up here. We got YCE kinder right math coming on. So we're going to have Miss Wendle, Miss Howard, myself will be up here. We'll be discussing some growth opportunities there. All this is going to be tied back to our grading as well and our goals as we continue throughout the year. This calendar into November and December to get a retrieve, right? So a little time for us to start working that those areas. But we want to collect data so that we can present that as we come into the next year. So we can see the growth as far as the goals are. Uh we are data driven in a sense of success but we also we don't forget that those numbers have things. So we want to make sure we're taking that account as
013well. And our first quarter January we do the midyear check on CCR. Again we like to see exactly kind of how we're doing. As you all know in CCMR that's that's free money for us. The better we do right the more money we get. I will say 98% is pretty impressive. Uh there is lots of people in the state that want to know what's happening there because you get 98% get 5,000 per kid 2000 to that 2000. N perus factor every time they complete and that's that's a work that starts here all the way up. Right? So those groups are this group of principles are doing a fantastic job making sure that happens in February. In February we'll do a semester one year growth. So when you look at TIA it's a fantastic deal for
014our staff to get some of that recapture some of that bonus money but it has to coincide with student growth. So teacher growth and student growth have to run like this. They can't they can't do this. If they do this then they lose that bonus point for our teachers. So, uh, what we did earlier in the year with, uh, about five month ago, five month ago, we did a calibration as far as assessments with our principles, we've taken that a little step further to see how their growth is going with their t test evaluation system, but we need to know where our our growth is in January so that we can make some corrections before that data is recaptured a couple months later. It still gives us a primary opportunity to make sure that we
015can still be in line with our graph should look something like this. And that's something you'll see in January. We present that data as far as our teacher growth and our student growth along the way. We'll have a better understanding come June about. And so that will be a great day for us for our staff as well. Then in March, we've got some uh homes for be doing that. We got benchmarks three through five tier growth and other way to look at data. So we didn't want to culminate all in one. We have uh kinder as well before that but then Roberts is coming back in kinder and we got reading and math a little bit later too. So it's going to be all of our elementary principles. So there'll be Miss Howard, Miss Flores
016will be presenting data. I'll be here with them but they'll really be leading the show with that. They're going to be talking about what they're doing in their campuses and their classrooms and seeing how that work is coming. So again a little more data. I hope you're not tired of that, but it's going to be important to see that. In April, we have the junior high benchmark and TI growth. Again, we're going to continue that TI trend and follow through in the junior high. So, we'll be doing that. And then, of course, in June, we got CC marks. So, Flores and myself again to see something very similar. Did you get the other one? Did you have the original one? and uh then in June we'll cover that but then we get to August and
017it's all the campuses look at growth and of course we looked at our final SCAR results so this again so we'll be able to see exactly where we're at hopefully uh certainly by June we'll be able to see a lot of our growth as far as our teachers as far as performance wise Are there any questions on our calendar? >> It's pulled out trash. Sure. That's So this is uh the data sent to you before. I'll put a little more into it. Uh I'll give you one more. This one is it has the approaches. If you look at the back there, you can see three different bar graphs just understanding. And uh it's broke down in three different tabs from elementary junior high and then into uh high school as well. Just to give you
018some uh point of orientation, anything that's highlighted in green has said growth. Anything in yellow. There's nothing as far as it's going to be a different color scheme based on the level of growth that's involved with that. But it is certainly something that you want to take notice of. It's easier to find trends that way. Otherwise, you're just kind of looking at and it can be overwhelming sometimes. these uh this information usually comes in in about I don't know couple hundred sheets like this with all kinds of demographics that's on the bottom right so you'll be able to see that a lot of it will filter it out for you so you just kind of get right to it it's broken up by gender ethnicity so economics uh special programs needs that are inside this
019go a little more in depth you can at the bottom at the end of the day we're pretty uh focused on let's see what overall percentages are there are a couple of groups that we'll spend a little more time with the next year. We'll talk more about that next month, but just kind of a brief our special education population, our bilingual population. These will be ones that are good things for our buck as far as percentage passing rates, but also this is really good overall as far as as to productivity is concerned. So, in this uh instance right here, you can see our third through fifth grade and how they're uh well, rock and roll really. And this is kind of a nerve-wracking deal for not just staff, but students, but on this campus in
020particular, you're starting out with the first level of tests, right? So, third grade, and you're going into the ne the next one, right? Your fourth and fifth. So, they're kind of capturing all of them all at once. There's really no brief for these students as they get going. And it can create a lot of anxiety for students, right? So we want to take those kinds of things into account as we're looking at scores already. Remember those numbers have names. So we want to make sure that we don't forget that either. But we want to do the good work that's being developed inside those classrooms by adopting more rigorous curriculum at that level and moving forward as we implement in the classroom. Just some things to point out some trends uh as far as overall growth
021in this level right here. your third grade math, our four our third grade math and our fourth grade reading and our fifth grade science all enjoyed success across the board. So in each level in each one of those four categories whether it's did not meet right or whether it's approaches or meets or masters obviously masters is one that's going to be the highest level of ratings that someone can get in the state at any grade level and then your meats is kind of in between but then your approaches is passing it did not meet obviously it's that now you may see that it did not meet could be highlighted green what that means is is less kids were unsuccessful had more kids pass. That's why we want to identify them. You see in yellow, we
022had more kids unsuccessful, right? So, it's easier when we're working with principles and other curriculum experts on our campuses and identify this stuff a lot faster. So, as you're reading this this chart and you're going through that, just kind of keep that in mind. One thing in particular, uh, when you look at some of the growth, a lot of times you only see a couple percentage points, but one highlight I want to point out here is in that in that third grade map, we had a 15% increase in protein. That's pretty significant, right? So 15% is it's a big number. So when we see those things and we see trends, the first thing we do is we go back to the princip how how we work this out and in this district we practice see
023process, right? we have and we're using that data to put in research based strategies >> so that we know exactly instructions almost individualizing but making it look like it's so it's actually pretty cool see are there any questions on this how to read charts you see right here on the bottom department. This is where it's broke down a little more defined for student. You'll notice that the state, excuse me, in the region, the boxes are not, there's nothing in there, right? We will get back here pretty quick. The state I just checked like 10 minutes ago. There are some that are up but not in our junior high. You can see sixth through 8th grade. And again, sixth grade reading and eighth grade reading and science all enjoyed success across all levels. But you can
024obviously see some yellows there, but not nothing too disturbing, right? One or two percentage points a little lower. um could be a variety of factors inside there but we do feel that you know with implementation of the fundamental five presentation there uh right before school started and that was more receptive so I think some more teaching based strategies October second we have a another round of kind of a conference part I guess a symposium is a better word for it where teachers will be teaching teachers throughout campus the philosophy is that we have expertise here. We don't need so we can go ahead and use our own people to train our own people. It's a little more relative when we blend that in, right? So when they're sitting through a presentation and it says, well,
025you know, I teach at a high school, this isn't going to pertain to me. The research based strategies are good. It's not just necessarily one specific. We may get examples how to deploy that classroom, but that will be a little more specialized in that they require that questions on [Music] and the high school. So the high school is a big one too because it is you know EMC course exams. So if a student is unsuccessful with any one of these exams they will not graduate high school. Uh they have there's some special circumstances based on whatever level support they may get but it requires a committee to we call an ICC from that be able to walk the stage with their peers. Now, one thing to point out here is English is usually historically speaking
026very challenging for a lot of students. But in the English one for the EOC, these are ninth graders, first time in there, that's a 20% increase. 20% is a lot. So, one in five kids passed it more this year than they did last year. And that's that's pretty impressive as far as what's happening in our campuses and what our teachers and what our leadership is doing providing what we need for our students. Now, there's a little bit of yellow here, but again, these aren't huge percentage points, right? 1% 2%. We just wanted to identify what we're looking for. I didn't specify if it was five or 10 or 15%. For us, we're always striving to go for masters because in our mind, the philosophy is is that if we can teach every student to master
027the master section of the testing, then it stands to reason that they will be able to benefit from the approaches and or the expectation of the state assessment. >> Does board have any questions as far as start testing? eighth grade algebra is that the junior algebra is on there. Sorry. [Music] We got social studies and then when you get into the high school one should be right >> check. >> He has the numbers right there. Oh >> um out of 93 students that took the test out of 250 and over our campus um we have 100% are above me approaches meet their maths. >> Okay. And that that's still they just take it in a that's just an eighth grade course with Okay. But is it double credit? >> Yeah. It's high school double block
028is block. >> Okay. >> Sorry. I don't know where it went on this was on here. So the transfer I think it got lost to be honest with you. It took a took a while. It's a lot of work. Thank you for the work on that. Does anyone have any questions in regards to any of what was just presented? I know it's a lot of information. It is a workbook if you want to go back and kind of break down each individual thing. >> And it's pretty much the same that you received in June. There wasn't a lot of shifting. It's just finalized. >> All right. We don't have any other questions on that. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. >> And then the BCC data reporting is what he started with. That's that calendar
029that's also in board book that we'll kind of use to go by. [Music] All right. Do we need We don't need a motion for that since we're not. >> Okay. I don't think so. All right. Moving into items of business. Discuss and take possible action on board operating procedures. Um this was in board book if you recall back to our team of eight training at the end of last beginning of this month where they all went to go. Um, we had a couple sections that we talked about just changing the wording in one of them. So on page um, 57, we just changed E to communication to board members. And then the first section of that is complaints. So it's really just changing the way we're wording it. Um, is everyone okay with that change?
030And if there is anything that we need to change this evening, we can go back. That's why I put discussion and possib we don't have to adopt it tonight. Um and then the big change was on page 62. We to we tweaked um the superintendent a communication with the trustees the weekly communication. We took out some of the stronger language to give Mr. Cton some flexibility and when and how he communicates the different things happening within the board. um just that he'll provide regular updates through a newsletter or email or kind of his decision on how he wants to roll that out and then um any board questions, follow-ups, requested reports, that sort of thing be frequent enough to maintain the transparency and effective communication. And then I know there were a couple conversations about
031the emergency communication. So in this if hopefully we don't, but if there was to be an emergency, we wanted to kind of put some parameters in there for him to be able to how he can communicate so he's not individually texting us or how do I what do I do? So it's spelled out. Um, so we just said that in the initial communication there'll be a one-way more specific group notification system for the first alert that something happened and then ongoing updates will be given um through either himself or through Kelly in the same way with the one-way notification and then a summary will come out from him once everything is wrapped up. this any and then I also included the team of eight values um and just kind of ranked them the top four
032that we talked about the respectful communication, transparency, truthful um truthful and trust and then just clear communication. Does anyone have any questions? anything they want to modify change with how this is the tweaks that were made to the record. >> Does it do this weekly communication if we shall provide >> we can checkify? [Music] >> Yep. So just change it to communication >> and take out weekly. That's a good catch. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay, I can do that. That's not a problem. Good catch. Thank you. >> Anything else? >> Okay. So, we can do this one of two ways. you can adopt it with that and I will change that and just kind of send it out so everyone sees it and then we'll have it updated on the website because these are housed
033on the website or we can come back next month for that changes to approve the policy as presented with correction. Perfect. So, there's a motion on the table to approve the board operating procedures with that one change under communication with trustees. Is there a second to the motion? Second. >> All right. We have a first and a second on the table. Any further questions, discussion? >> So, I just want to say on that communication piece, the initial communication come from parents and It would probably be good if you download the app. Kelly will have a QR code for you guys. Grab that before you and then you have that QR code it'll lead you to the process. That way you all have the app the app. So that's how the visual communication go out to
034you guys and then it'll be followed up. Kelly will update you guys throughout the process. But just wanted to mention that. for us to reply to that comment. Okay. No, it's a one way. It's the same thing as if we were going to notify a group of parents, you know, of an event or something. They're not going to be able to correct >> that. I think you sent an invitation out to our board. So for me to see that I have to log out as I'm already in square or whatever for the high school junior high. >> You just have to link Mr. West because mine's the same way. I have my kids and then I have mine and there's a link button. So I still get the notifications from both of them without logging
035in or out. There there's it says >> see it without like I have to like go in there and then hit switch account. >> Have you changed it on the computer? You have to change link link it on the desktop and then it'll work. I promise. >> Okay. All right. I might call you. >> Yes, I can. Miss >> I promise I get football updates and I go school updates all day long. >> Hey, don't bother her. Don't bother. Thanks. Thanks for that. So, it sounds like that it can happen. You just have to do it through desktop, not your mobile. >> Well, no, you can do it through the mobile. You have to link it on your desktop. >> Yes. Yes, that's right. Go and connect the two accounts. Okay. So, we have a
036motion on the table. Any further questions, comments, concerns? All in favor? >> Opposed? Motion passes six to zero. All right. Item B, discuss, consider, and take possible action to adopt a disaster penny resolution. >> No, good. >> All right. So, the disaster penny resolution is the document that you guys have had in workbook. Has anybody questions about that whatsoever? We're on the same page. This is how the tax rate is normally calculated. uh you're going to take your MCR plus your 5 cents for uh whatever the merits you have, which in this case will be the 5 cents plus the 12 disaster, three gold plus um copper and then of course that tax that's how you get all the pieces that we're going to see here in just a moment. Uh this just bunch of
037legal language that we've run through lawyers multiple times uh just explaining that piece and a breakdown. So uh this part right here now therefore be resolved by basic school district board of trustees of the board of trustees declarance intent to at a board meeting be scheduled at a later date but in any case later than today August 1925 approve an order ordinance or resolution adopting a tax base for fiscal year 2526 that includes an addition as disaster as authorized by the Texas tax code section 26.042e 042E due to increased expenditures of money necessary to respond to hurricane. Now the proposed maintenance operation tax rate will be levied at 73 0.73890 on a $100 valuation. Likewise the ins service tax rate will be levied at a 0.26179 uh on the $100 valuation. U this important part
038of this tax rate will raise more taxes for maintenance and operations. last year's tax and just wanted to make sure that's all cleared and not there. The tax rate will effectively be raised by uh 22.2454% will raise taxes for maintenance and operations on a $100,000 home by approximately 0. How's the math worked out? We have a $100,000 homestead. It's factored into increase 140,000. So you're not going to see an increase on death and um once you guys make the motion uh you guys will sign there's like an indicator right here in a table to report all the votes for absences eyes and abstain from the vote. So we will have that and then just as backup we have proclamation from the governor's office. So I will leave it to you guys. Thank you. Are there
039any questions or comments? >> Yeah, they see that there are so many homes. I mean, who's really going to get taxed? >> Well, and fast forward the INS rates coming down. There's no more taxes coming out of the homepayers pocket. It's just it's we have a interest and syncing which pays debt. We have operations and maintenance. We're raising this one and lowering this one and they're going to pay the same. People who people have $100,000 or less pay zero taxes anyways tax. >> So it's not true to this document what we're seeing. >> It is this is half of it. The other half is that gets adopted later in the meeting. >> Yeah. >> What's that? >> No. Next. We're the next item of business is the tax rate. >> Yeah. It's all in there.
040>> All right. >> There any other questions? I didn't mean to shut you down, but I I didn't want to like start a conversation about raising rates. >> Yeah. >> When >> No, I just saw that wonder, you know, >> the average home in Bay City overund >> Yeah. He's just staying that $100,000 home pay zero taxes anyway, so it's not going to affect them. >> And then as you go up from there, just it's going to be a small amount and then it gets to be more, but then it's going to be offset on the other side. >> All right. Anyone have any other questions or comments? Okay. All in favor? >> Opposed? Motion passes six to zero. >> No, we didn't take a motion. >> What is a motion? Sorry, I thought we
041made a motion. My fault. Is there a motion to be made? >> I know. Adopt >> adopt the disaster resolution is presented in work. >> Perfect. All right. There's a motion on the table. Is there a second to the motion? >> All right. Um now that we have a motion on the table. Uh is there any questions, comments, concerns? >> Are we signing on the eyes? >> Yes. We roll calling this. Okay. Roll call. That's fine. Uh trusty rash. Trusty West. Trusty SC. >> Trusty Weston. I Trustee Robinson is absent. Trusty T. Trustee. >> All right. Motion passes six to zero. All right. Moving on to item D, which uh C, which is a public meeting to discuss budget and proposed tax rate. Hello, sir. >> All right. So that got disaster out the way.
042We're doing things a little differently this year just because of everything going on legislation wise. Wanted to make sure to get this in front of you guys as quickly as we can. So normally what we do do the normal process uh trusty eaten is that we come together in August to propose the tax rate and then we adopt we adopt in September. So what's different is we're doing it all together right now here tonight. So, as what I normally would present in August, um right here you got the 2025 tax rate calculation worksheet for school districts with chapter 313 and four Jedi agreements. Um this is something that we worked through with um the tax assessor collector's office. Um a lot of good work that was done there. Um and what beats this is the
043uh Omar summer finance which I've shown you guys before. and is definitely a headache all. So we have this here that's calculated first generates this page here from the tax assessor collector's office. The not revenue rate is going to be $12 and you know 1.0218 02198 maintenance operation tax rate is going to be 61890 plus 7389. Um the debt rate is going to be 26179 using a debt requirement of $6.9 million uh 7 a little over 7 million minus what tax assessor ledger calculated as excess income or revenue. So that brings it down to 6.9 estimated election rate of 97%. Uh you combine that insult disaster and that gives you a dollar in what was that couple thousand of approval rate of 1.0069. Uh and then the certified value we did see significant value growth
044which I will show in the presentation here in a moment. uh of 2.5 million for ML and 2.7 for which will be 57 million there and the overestimated actual tax is 467,67. All that to say that that feeds this portion here which is what went out paper uh did meet our 10day uh time requirement tonight's meeting. Uh so our maintenance and operations uh budget went up 74% debt service 83% total expenditures um sorry not 80 74% 0.74% debt service was 0.83 and total expenditures was 0.76%. Um what we're going to see here is the total appraised value of all property uh so on the preceding tax year uh it was 2.8 8 billion. It jumped up to 3.5. Uh total appraised value of all this property 123 million rece,000. So the reason you're going to
045see a lot of these big swings is what we talked about already is Rome America. Right? So Rome America is the chapter 313 agreement that we had tried to amend that they had tried to amend. Uh so that it came on the value limitation for that started during this tax year which again went from January to December. Now because of that and because of delays they weren't able to amend it. So right now it's still stuck on the value limitation period added at amendment number two which starts in 2930. First payment coming up in 2030. Our understanding is that they're going to try to do it again later this year. So we have those payments coming sooner rather than later. So you'll see those payments as soon as January 27. But the effect of the
046value limitation period not coming online is that they're being taxed with the full taxable value. So they as a top 10 taxpayer pulled that documentation up for you. They were being taxed at about 85 million on the project that jumped to over 65. So you're seeing significant uh growth anywhere from about 32 to 36% property. That's why we're seeing that we're getting down the max because the property and this lot of the same things that you've heard me say. Uh so I know it sounds like I'm dead here, but I just wanted to make sure we cover that. We do have a new trustee here as well. So if there's any questions, feel free to stop time. Um, all right. We got one. >> Okay. I just want to make sure. >> All right. So,
047uh, these are estimations of fund balance. We talked about that. And trust, I think the important part to talk about that you were asking about just a moment ago is comparison of proposed levy with last year's levy on average residents. So, the average market value of residences last year was $200,98. Uh, this year is going to be $23,621. Uh, but see, that's the market value. You look at the taxable value, we're taking in that $140,000 homestead exemption into account. Last year with 100 100k homestead exemption, uh, the average taxable value was at 87567. This year with 140k figured in, it's going to be at 68,334. You factor in that last year's rate was 1.01338 and we're actually bringing it down by a little percent to 1.000069. Uh the taxes do on an average res8739. We're
048actually decreasing that by $23.58 to 68381. So this is going to be a savings for the taxpayers while also generating more. Last but not least, this is a presentation you guys are used to seeing. Throw back to the Rich Rick Johnson format and template. I figured if it wasn't broked a budget of 40 or sorry 40 million $40,688,96 for M for INS you adopted a total budget of 4793 uh sorry $472,331 uh and 88 of 311 just the overall breakdowns of what was done and of course the food service budget that was adopted at uh 3,61,233. So all these are there and signed and available on the website. So on July 18th county appraisal district issued 25 certified appraisal based from the appraisal district signed by the chief appraiser where we see 2.5 2.7 then
049just as a little sideby-side comparison. So we have net taxable M from 25 to 24. Uh you're seeing an increase of about $638 million there. A little north of that for the M side. Like I mentioned, a lot of that attributed to um you know Rome America coming on being tax for the full taxable value making up the bulk of that. And then on the INS side you're seeing an increase of about 69 million. This does take into account the 140,000 homestead exemption and as a friendly reminder the chapter 313 chapter 313 agreements reduce the taxable value for M while INS taxable value properties which is why the taxable value is always now fast forward July 28 uh the county president district issued a corrective um just pull it up just so you guys can
050see it this is what we typically work to see all these values. Um, so right here's the grand total space that we use. Now, factoring that back in, all that did was resulted in $3.1 million loss of value compared to the value that we so take the value that we saw on the 18 issue versus 28. The difference is 3.1 um just slightly lower value. Um forwarding here to uh the second we worked with the uh county tax assessor collector. We got no new revenue rate of a dollar uh at two cents and then a voter approval rate 12 disaster pennies of a little less than one brings us to tonight um August 19th. So we will we're holding a public meeting to propose 2025 tax rate that was published in the paper and that's
051previous uh the M rate that we proposed is 73 cents the rate we proposed is 26 cents for total of a little over a dollar or a little less than a dollar one and then plan for tonight is that you guys as a board of trustees will 2025 2026 tax rate which is um a little less than I'd say a little little more than seven cents more than the 23 24 tax rate and then on the side you're seeing a savings of a little more than eight cents the total post tax rate will be as I mentioned a little earlier uh a little less a little more than 1 cent less than last year's tax rate. Here's a sideby-side comparison of two years. We have our certified taxable value for 2.5 certified tax 2.7 there.
052My apologies for that. And the free tax provided by the tax collector and then just link back to the tax. Any questions? I know taxes are super exciting. they are an issue. >> So just to reiterate, >> we are adopting the disaster pennies but lowering the IS so it still does not raise people's taxes. >> It lowers them. >> Correct. >> Okay. Just making sure that everyone's tracking >> and I think a really important part to point out is that part of you seen the tax and average res. We have the average residence figures here. >> Yes. And So we're lowering people's taxes by $23. >> Yes. >> So you're seeing that savings there. And the reason why is because rather than that tax rate that would have been a whole another song resolutions forunately
053because of our situation we're looking at right now. So rather than defeasing what we're going to do is we're going to raise that income tax rate with those focus that are available due to qualify documented Mr. and I get to work with FEMA every two weeks um and uh join process and uh so we we get you know do all those pieces so we have all that document correct >> um like I said monthly legal you guys seen the resolution so that's bring that part in and then um an important part to look at is our rates maintain for was 27 cents we're actually bringing it down a little below that 26 cent down to 26 cents because uh based on calcul tax assessor collector at 97% collection rate that's where we could be on
054top of that they calculated what we had is excor so overall that's where we're at as I mentioned it's a it's a good deal here for the taxpayers of course are seeing a higher valuation but as far as the full tax reducing tax >> right any other questions this public is a public hearing. So if anybody questions everything you just >> the formal hearing that we just >> does anyone else have any other questions? All right, moving from item C to item D, which is approval of 2526 tax rate. Everyone has heard what Mr. Gomez has said. Does anyone have any questions?
