Barbers Hill board approves 2025 appraisal roll, delegates TEC contracting authority and amends value‑limitation pacts
Summary
Trustees approved the 2025 appraisal roll, reported significant taxable‑value increases, delegated certain Texas Education Code contracting authority to the superintendent, and approved amendments to Chapter 313 value‑limitation agreements with Oneok Hydrocarbon.
At the Aug. 25 meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Finance Becky McManus presented the 2025 appraisal roll and related financial actions that trustees approved unanimously.
The board adopted a resolution to approve the appraisal roll and designated McManus to calculate the district's no‑new‑revenue and voter‑approval rates for publication. McManus reported a $498,506,313 (2.67%) increase in taxable values for debt service and a $909,945,917 (6.96%) increase in values for maintenance and operations compared with the previous year.
Trustees also voted to delegate contractual authority under specified Texas Education Code provisions (including agreements to purchase attendance credit) to the superintendent for the 2025–26 year. Separately, the board approved amendments to the district's Chapter 313 value limitation agreements with Oneok Hydrocarbon, LLC (projects #1236 and #1282) to update company representatives and reduce minimum job commitments from 15 to 10; the Texas Comptroller issued amended completeness certifications for the projects.
"We will realize an increase of $498,506,313 (+2.67%) in values over the previous year for debt service purposes," the minutes record.
