Farr West minutes state the tax rate two ways and record a 4-1 fee vote as unanimous

The minutes of Farr West's June 18, 2026 City Council meeting state the city's certified tax rate in two forms, and record a 4-1 roll call on the fee schedule as unanimous. ^[1]

The council approved those minutes, together with the July 16 minutes, on a unanimous vote on Aug. 6, 2026. The Aug. 6 minutes record no corrections. ^[2]

The tax rate

The motion recorded in the minutes reads: "TIM SHUPE MOTIONED TO APPROVE THE CERTIFIED TAX RATE OF .00032 FOR THE 2026 TAX YEAR." The minutes record a 5-0 roll call. ^[1]

The minutes' summary of the staff presentation earlier in the item gives the rate as 0.0000322, compared with 0.0000327 the year before. That figure has one more zero after the decimal point than the motion's. ^[1]

The same summary says budgeted property tax revenue rose from $375,588 to $411,457, including $35,869 from new growth, and that property values rose about 1.5%. The final budget worksheet lists $411,457 of property tax for fiscal 2026-27 and notes "NO PROPOSED TAX INCREASE - CERTIFIED TAX RATE." ^[1][3]

The fee-schedule vote

Ordinance 2026-12 amended the city's consolidated fee schedule. The motion in the minutes does not name the council member who made it. As recorded, it approves the ordinance "TO INCLUDE" raising the replacement garbage can fee from $25 to $50. ^[1]

The roll call reads: "TIM SHUPE, KATIE WILLIAMS, DAVID JAY AND BOB BLIND VOTING AYE AND JASON ANDERSON VOTING NO." The next line reads: "MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY." ^[1]

The roll call as recorded is 4-1. The minutes say the transportation utility fee stays at $7. ^[1]

The ordinance copy in the June 18 packet is unsigned. ^[3]
