The 2020 Property Tax Rates are not yet known, but they are likely not to change dramatically. It should therefore be noted that the City's 3.5% growth as allowed by the Texas Property Tax Reform and Transparency Act of 2019, while critical to the City's Financial Policy and planned operation, is a nearly de minimis impact as compared to the total tax bill owed by a resident. City of Paris Charter — Article V — Section 45(5) "Tax levies and tax collections by years for at least five years or, if records for five years are not available, then for as many years as are available.

" Please see Exhibit A attached for a detailed listing of all Funds by line item (not just General Fund). This Exhibit A shows the Proposed FY20/21 Budget (shown on the sheets as "Proposed FY2021 Budget"). The "Year Budget" is the FY19/20 Budget. The "Current Year" is how much has been received to -date as of the printing of Exhibit A. And finally FY2019, FY2018, FY2017, and FY2016 are the prior four years of Actual Revenues that were used in the Realignment Process to help produce the Proposed FY20/21 Budget. For your convenience, the key information has been highlighted in yellow, with red being used for the Fund Totals. There is of course a lot of information here, but for a community the size of Paris, budgets are complex. The purpose of showing you this much information is to give transparency and support the Realignment process that was discussed in the Budget Message section above. City of Paris Charter — Article V — Section 45(7), 45(8), 45(9) "Summary ofproposed expenditures by function, department, and activity. " "Summary ofproposed expenditures by character and object.
