Addressing the city’s budget for next year, Brownwood City Manager Emily Crawford said it underwent additional cuts and revenue sources were adjusted. Instead of multiple fee increases, the Council is proposing a .0483 cent tax rate increase and a few small utility fee increases.  The overall monthly impact of the proposed 2017-2018 tax and fees is about $7.05 per household.  For residents with the over 65 and disabled tax freeze—you will not pay any additional property tax.  The full, detailed results are listed at brownwoodtexas.gov/budget The city council will conduct a public hearing on the proposed budget at 9 a.m. on August 22.  Anyone desiring to address the city council on the proposed budget will be given the opportunity during the public hearing.
