On this the 30th day of August 1989, Commissioner Ray made
the motion to set a public hearing on September 29, 1989 on
the proposed operating budget of Kerr County, Texas for
fiscal year, beginning October 1st, 1989.
Failed for lack of a second.
COMMISSIONERS' COURT RECESSED AT 9:40 A. M.
COMMISSIONERS' COURT RECONVENED AT 3:20 P. M., with all
members present and the Court having duly opened, the
following proceedings were had:
Juanita Maples addressed the Court, stating that the Tax
Assessor-Collector had full responsibility on figuring the
tax rate. The Appraisal District does it as a courtesy. The
difference in the two tax rates was traced to a printing
error on the forms from the State Property Tax Board. The
^ Auditor was also able to provide additional figures that
neither the Tax Office or Appraisal Office had before. They
made a disc of their calculations and gave a copy to the
County Auditor, which will be available for anyone who would
like to see it. The rollback rate is .2352.
Paula Rector asked the Court if they would like to have the
tax rate republished. Judge Edwards and Commissioner Ray
said they did not see a reason for republication.

Motion failed for lack of a second.
The Court discussed charging an additional 55.00 road &
bridge fee on license plates. Commissioner Holekamp stated
he was against the additional fee while Commissioner Ray said
he was for the fee. Commissioner Morgan said he would be for
it if the fee was labeled for specific projects.
A discussion was held on the County Budget for 1989-1990 and
all the Commissioners said they would probably not vote for a
deficit budget. Commissioner Ray said he would not vote for
a tax raise or taking money from surplus. Maybe he would
vote for a small tax increase if it was necessary. The Judge
assured the Court he would have a copy of the budget to them
by September 7th, 1989.
