The notice of this increase would be required in the City's budget document and public notices. HB 3195 states that it applies to budgets enacted after September 1, 2007. It is the opinion ofIegal that HB 3195 should not apply to the City of La Porte this year, to the extent that we are able to pass the Fiscal Year 2008 budget on August 27,2007.
