General Fund Year -to -Date Hi hli hts through June 30 2026
1. Overall Revenue was $29,188,886 or 80% of the annual Budget.
2. Property Tax Revenue is $8,890,147, 5% more than previous year. Majority of Property
Tax Revenue is received between December and February each year.
3. Sales Tax revenue is more than last year by $319,922 or 4%; however, several months
including June collections were less than last year. Cautiously optimistic as sales tax can
be volatile.
4. Hotel Occupancy tax revenue has decreased by $86,948 or 11% from 2025 fiscal year.
Fluctuation in the carrying balance is due to the allocation to the Chamber of Commerce,
a hotelier rebate, and a portion that covers the debt issued to pay for the Civic Center.
5. EMS Fees are down $716,883 or 17% compared to last year. EMS collections are down
due to the fourth ambulance for transfers not in service due to staff shortages; however,
has been placed back in service as staffing shortages improved.
6. Interest revenue is up by $31,050 or 4% from last year. The Fed Fund rates decreased 25
basis points at the end of October with an additional 25 basis points reduction in
December. The Middle East conflict remains to be an important driver of the financial
market; no rate changes are expected through the remainder of 2026.
7. The year-to-date expenditures in the General fund are $25,614,457 or 65% of budget for
the 2026 fiscal year. In comparison to last year, the overall 2026 fiscal year expenditures
have increased by $1,229,789. Majority of the increase is attributable to the following:
➢ Fiscal year 2026 includes a 2% cost of living adjustment for all full-time positions.
➢ Stipends for EMS, Fire, Public Works, and Dispatch personnel.

delivers to the taxing unit the certified appraisal roll and the estimated values of properties under protest. The designated officer or employee shall certify that the officer or
employee has accurately calculated the tax rates and used values shown for the certified appraisal roll or certified estimate. The officer or employee submits the rates to the
governing body by Aug. 7 or as soon thereafter as practicable.

The NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount
of taxes (no new taxes) if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years. When appraisal values increase, the NNR tax rate should decrease.
The NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.
While uncommon, it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exemption for only maintenance and operations taxes. In this case, the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax
rate separately for the maintenance and operations tax and the debt tax, then add the two components together.
1. Prior year total taxable value. Enter the amount of the prior year taxable value on the prior year tax roll today. Include any adjustments since
last year's certification; exclude Tax Code Section 25.25(d) one-fourth and one-third over -appraisal corrections from these adjustments. Exclude
any property value subject to an appeal under Chapter 42 as of July 25 (will add undisputed value in Line 6). This total includes the taxable value

The voter -approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that a taxing unit may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the tax rate. The type of taxing unit will
determine the rate components that apply to a taxing units' overall voter -approval tax rate.
The voter -approval tax rate for a county is the sum of the voter -approval tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies. In most cases the voter -approval tax rate
exceeds the no -new -revenue tax rate, but occasionally decreases in a taxing unit's debt service will cause the NNR tax rate to be higher than the voter -approval tax rate.

Dear Court Clerk," -

LARRY B. LONG
STEVEN H. STODGHILL
The Texas Department of Public Safety, Driver License Division, is excited to announce the implementation
of the web -based site for electronically reporting convictions, which we notified you about last year.
The new Texas Conviction Reporting (TXCR) interface eliminates paper processes and the current electronic
file submission process. A "real-time" upload feature allows court users the ability to review successful
submissions, prevent duplicate entries, and review rejected convictions. Users can correct and resubmit missing
information for rejected convictions immediately.
Effective January 111, 2027, all final convictions sent to the Department for processing must be submitted via
TXCR. The submission of inial convictions via the portal requires that a TXCR Interlocal Cooperation
Contract be completed and submitted to the Department before using the new TXCR interface.
Please complete the enclosed TXCR Interlocal Cooperation Contract (ICC) for review, signature, and return.
We have provided an instruction sheet to assist with the completion of the ICC.
We look forward to your participation and assistance with providing better service to all Texas courts. If you
have any questions, you may contact Kathy Drye at Kathy.Drye@dps.texas.gov, or 512-424-2030, or Erica
Blanco at Erica.Blanco@dps.texas.gov, or 512-424-7266.

developed a secure web -based application for Texas courts to submit electronic convictions onto a Texas

Furthermore, DPS and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) common goal is to ensure
and improve public safety by reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving Commercial Motor
Vehicles (CMV). One of the components of this effort is the appropriate and timely reporting of moving
violation convictions for Commercial Driver License (CDL) holders and operators of CMVs. For DPS to be
successful in ,its endeavor to bolster the foundation and support the priorities of the CDL program, it
must have the proper tools to accomplish these goals.

• Allow submission of convictions individually using a web -form that matches the bulk file

and resubmit. i mss,

BACKGROUND: A public hearing on the proposed City budget is required by Section 48 of the

102.005 of the Local Government Code. A legal notice advertising the public hearing was
published in the Paris News on July 30, 2026, as required by 102.0065 of the Local Government
Code.
In accordance with 102.7 of the Local Government Code, the City Council must take action on the
budget at the conclusion of this public hearing, to vote to adopt the budget and separately vote to
"ratify" the increase in property tax revenue or vote to postpone adoption of the budget and vote

BACKGROUND: In accordance with 102.7 of the Local Government Code, the City Council must
take action on the budget at the conclusion of this public hearing, to vote to adopt the budget and
then separately vote to "ratify" the increase in property tax revenue or vote to postpone adoption
of the budget and vote to postpone ratification of the increase in property tax revenue until the

Year 2026-27 commencing October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027, is attached. This
plan of operations is the result of several City Council/Staff presentations, discussion and
opportunities for citizen input on the proposed budget and is contingent upon voter approval of the

tax rate would be reduced to the voter -approval rate of $0.472068, and budget expenditures would
be reduced to service levels that would balance the budget.

SUBJECT: ORDINANCE TO RATIFY PROPERTY TAX REVENUE INCREASE IN FY
2026-27 BUDGET
DATE: August 10, 2026
BACKGROUND: In accordance with 102.7 of the Local Government Code, City Council must
take action on the budget at the conclusion of this public hearing, to vote to adopt the budget and
then separately vote to "ratify" the increase in property tax revenue or vote to postpone adoption
of the budget and vote to postpone ratification of the increase in property tax revenue until the
August 24, 2026, City Council meeting. The City Council is not obligated to adopt the budget or
ratify the property tax revenue increase at this meeting. If the Council chooses to postpone these
items, then there will be three separate votes required at the August 24, 2026, City Council
meeting: (1) adopt the proposed budget, (2) ratify the increase in property tax revenue reflected in
the proposed budget, and (3) adopt the tax rate.
Attached is an ordinance ratifying the property tax revenue increase reflected in the 2026-27 Fiscal
Year budget for said period. Local Government Code 102.7 requires a separate "record" vote by
the municipal governing body to ratify any increase in property tax revenue reflected in the budget
if the adoption of the budget will require raising more revenue from property taxes than the
previous year. This vote is in addition to and separate from the vote to adopt the budget orthe vote
to adopt the tax rate.
STATUS OF ISSUE:
After City Council votes to adopt the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget, a second vote will be required
to ratify the increase in property tax revenue. The proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget will
increase property tax revenue by $3,070,357 (24.5 percent) over the current year amended budget
and a copy of the required cover page is attached to the proposed budget. If City Council chooses
to postpone the adoption of Fiscal year 2026-27 budget, then will also need to postpone the
ratification of the increase in property tax revenue to the August 24, 2026, meeting.

Item No. 19
Memorandum
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem, and City Council
Rose Beverly, City Manager
FROM: Steve Marriott, Finance Director
SUBJECT: PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 AND CALL A PUBLIC
HEARING
DATE: August 10, 2026
BACKGROUND: State law requires publishing special notices and conducting a public hearing
before adoption of a tax rate if the tax rate exceeds the no -new -revenue tax rate. The no -new -
revenue tax rate is defined as the tax rate that would produce the same amount of property tax
revenue as last year based on the value of the same properties listed on the tax rolls. The City's
estimated no -new -revenue tax rate is $0.459755 per $100.00 of assessed valuation. Staff
recommends that the proposed tax rate not exceed $0.572390 per $100.00 of assessed valuation,
which is greater than the estimated voter -approval tax rate of $0.472068 per $100.00 of assessed
valuation.
The tax rate approved at this meeting will be published in the notice of the called public hearing
on August 24, 2026, along with a record vote, and effectively sets a ceiling for the tax rate that
will be adopted after the public hearing. Following the public hearing, the Council may choose to
adopt the tax rate set today, or a lower rate, but the adopted rate cannot exceed the tax rate approved
at this meeting.
State law also requires at least 60 percent of the members of the governing body to vote in favor
of an ordinance setting a property tax rate that exceeds the no -new -revenue tax rate. Therefore, at
least five members (60 percent) of the City Council will need to vote in favor of setting a tax rate
higher than the no -new -revenue tax rate. If the required 60 percent majority vote cannot be reached
in setting the tax rate, then by State law, the City's tax rate for Fiscal Year 2026-27 will be set at
the no -new -revenue tax rate, currently estimated at $0.459755.
Attached includes Form 50-212 Notice About Tax Rates that will be published on the homepage
of the City's website, Form 50-874 Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase that will be published
in the Paris News and homepage of the City's website, and resolution calling for a public hearing
on the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 ad valorem tax rate.
STATUS OF ISSUE: To adopt the tax rate at the August 24, 2026, City Council meeting, staff
recommends the following proposed calendar of action items.
August 10, 2026 Set Proposed Tax Rate and Call Public Hearing on Tax Increase
August 14, 2026 Publish Notice of Public Healing on Tax Increase
