Baytown Council weighs two sales tax districts for public safety
Baytown City Manager Gary Jackson pitches two proposed Crime Control Prevention District and Fire Control EMS District taxes to fund dedicated public safety services. Voter approval would create two one eighth cent sales taxes in Harris County for police and fire and EMS, with separate ballots and steps to establish temporary boards. The plan aims to expand police and fire funding through tax dollars from residents and visitors alike. Council also debates truck route changes to Massey Tompkins Road Garth Road and Bayway Drive, and a new rule allowing tickets for trucks off the route based on owner vehicle placement.
