The proposed $5.5 billion budget includes funding to tackle homelessness, begin building the Project Connect light rail system, and funding for Austin police training and recruitment.
The $5.5 billion budget includes nearly $56 million to tackle homelessness and nearly $166 million to begin building the Project Connect light rail system, which was approved by city council last month.
It provides money to beef up training and recruitment for the understaffed Austin Police Department and raises the minimum wage for city workers to $20.80 an hour from $20 an hour. This budget will raise about $23 million more in property taxes compared to last year's budget, thanks in large part to new property coming onto the tax rolls.
The property tax rate is proposed to be nine percent lower in the next fiscal year, but the average homeowner will see a 1.5 percent increase in taxes due to rising property values. that I have read and agree
