Odessa Council Moves to Cut Property Tax Amid Rising Costs

Odessa City Council moved to reduce the property tax rate by about 1.67 cents to 56.2 cents per $100 valuation as it faces a projected $5 million in new expenses for 2008-09. City Manager Richard Morton warned against relying on sales tax revenue for ongoing costs while proposed rises in fuel, vehicle maintenance, and police pay raise costs are under review. The council plans a 2008-09 budget with hearings and expects to add five city employees and consider up to a 3 percent water and sewer fee increase, adding roughly $2 to the average family’s monthly bill.
