Ferris ISD trustees approve ordinance to set tax rate; rate not recorded in minutes
Summary
Trustees voted unanimously to approve an ordinance to set the district tax rate at the Aug. 20 meeting. The public transcript records the motion and unanimous approval but does not include the numeric tax rate.
At the Aug. 20 meeting the Ferris ISD Board of Trustees approved an ordinance to set the district tax rate. Trustee Nick Hamm moved approval and Trustee Lee Longino seconded; the motion carried unanimously in the recorded minutes.
The public transcript records the motion to approve the ordinance but does not include the tax-rate figure or a staff presentation of the rate calculation. Because the numeric rate is not in the public transcript, the rate is listed here as not specified; district publications or the board's official minutes should be consulted for the exact tax rate adopted.
Setting the tax rate is a routine but significant fiscal step for the district budget and will affect property taxpayers in Ferris and any areas within the district boundaries.
