Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Dear Fellow Commissioners, As per section 34 of the City of La Porte Charter • - I am happy to submit to you the proposed budget for the fiscal year of October 1, 1975 to September 31, 1976. This budget was prepared in accordance with State Statues and the Charter of La Porte. In this budget is included an estimate of anticipated revenue expenditures for the various departments and debt requirements for general obligation and revenue bonds. I anticipate a collection rate of 98% based on estimated valuation of $106,240,000.00 for 1975 taxes. Taxes are based at $ .92 per 800 of $100.00 appraised evaluation, which is the same tax rate for previous years. Industrial complexes as well as conservative spending U on the part of fellow commissioners and city employees • • Page 2. has played a large part in being able to maintain the same tax rate. Budgetary expenditures total $2,357,369.50, a breakdown of expenditures is as follows: General Fund $1,823,708.00 Water & Sewer Fund 349,366.50 General Fund Dept. Service 184,295.00 Major increases in this budget include salary increases for all city employees, full payment of uniform rental, and full payment of insurance for employees and dependants. I would like to say "thank you" to my fellow city r: commissioners and employees for their efforts in maintaining spending levels within the past budgetary guidelines. I would also like to solicit your cooperation to maintain the same spending levels toward this new budget. It was through these levels of expenditures that we have been able to complete several large projects without a bond issue or an increase in taxes. Many projects remain ahead of us such as improvement of streets, a new sewer plant, extension of water and sewer lines, and developement of additional city parks and ballfields.
