Brownfield council keeps 93 tax rate amid base rise
Brownfield officials approved maintaining the 0.5225 effective tax rate for 1993 despite a base value increase from 149 million to 151 million. A lower rate option would likely trigger a higher rate next year, said City Attorney Bill McGowan II, while City Manager Dick Fletcher noted the base remains well below mid-80s peaks. The Rialto Theatre Group request for free landfill use was denied to avoid setting a precedent, as was a similar request from First Calvary Baptist Church. The group plans to convert the Rialto into a nonprofit community playhouse and would scrap 650 seats, while concerns about waste disposal and the landfill’s hazardous potential were raised with Ector County. No action was taken on expanding the alley behind Cardwell See City.page 4.
