Proposed House Bill Would Put Heavy Burden on City
Eagle Lake Mayor EB Shirley, City Manager Kenneth Smith and Councilman A W Kohieffel testified in Austin on House Bill 73 to fund the State Firemen’s Relief and Retirement Fund. If enacted, the measure would impose unfunded liabilities and annual costs on 235 Texas cities, with City of Eagle Lake facing about 50 461 dollars upfront and roughly 1300 dollars yearly, while the state would cover limited portions. They argued amortization over 25 years shifts burdens to local governments and warned of substantial local fiscal impact.
