City Council Corrects Tax Rate Motion Timing Ahead of Public Hearing

During the recent Forney City Council meeting, a key correction was made regarding the upcoming public hearing on the proposed tax rate. City Manager Mr. Thatcher clarified that a previous motion, made by Councilwoman Slensker, contained an error in the scheduled times for the public hearing and the subsequent record vote. Both events are set for September 16, but the correct time for both should be 6:30 PM, not 6:00 PM as previously stated. This adjustment ensures that the public hearing occurs before the vote, aligning with procedural requirements.

The meeting also included a brief announcement segment, although no additional community events were discussed. Following these announcements, the council moved into an executive session to deliberate on matters related to real property, as permitted under Texas government code.

As the council continues to address important community issues, residents are encouraged to stay informed about upcoming meetings and decisions that may impact local governance and services. The next public hearing on the tax rate will provide an opportunity for community input and engagement.
