Mesquite ISD approves certified values and adopts ad valorem tax rate; budget amendment approved
Summary
During a moved‑up business section Dr. Rivera said the board conducted a budget hearing, approved certified values that the speaker described as up nearly 7%, and adopted an order setting the district's ad valorem tax rate; a budget amendment was also approved (transcript lists an unclear year).
Dr. Rivera reported the board conducted a budget hearing and approved certified values that he described as showing property values the district taxes increased by nearly 7% this year. The spoken update said the board approved a budget amendment and "adopted an order set in the ad valorem tax rate," though the transcript lists the amendment year as "2627," a probable transcription error; the precise budget amendment reference was not specified in the audio excerpt.
The district framed the certified values as the basis for setting the tax rate. Dr. Rivera said the board approved a balanced budget and emphasized fiscal stewardship after two years of cuts. The transcript does not include formal vote tallies or the exact adopted rate percentage—only the speaker's description that certified values were "almost 7%" higher.
