The details
Manvel will host a budget town hall at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 9 for residents at City Hall, 20031 Morris Ave., Manvel. The town hall follows the city’s Planning, Development & Zoning Commission meeting.
The meeting will provide an opportunity for Manvel residents to learn about the city’s budget, the proposed tax rate and the inner workings of municipal budgets, according to a Sept. 3 news release from the city.
The town hall also comes after a public hearing was held on the budget at Manvel City Council’s Sept. 3 meeting, which nobody spoke at.
Community Impact previously reported that Manvel city officials are considering a tax rate of $0.56 per $100 valuation, the same as the previous year, to maintain the lowest tax rate Manvel has had in a decade.
