Killeen council discusses possible contract for redistricting services

The Killeen City Council discussed a possible contract with an Austin law firm to provide redistricting services during a workshop meeting Tuesday. Council members heard a presentation from City Manager Kent Cagle regarding an Interlocal Cooperation contract with Bickerstaff Heath Delgado Acosta, a law firm in Austin. It’s estimated to cost the city $27,190, should officials agree to sign. A vote on the resolution was postponed last week so that some council members could gain a better understanding of why the services were needed before moving forward. Bickerstaff would determine if Killeen’s voting districts are unbalanced during an initial assessment. If it is determined the districts need to be redrawn, the law firm will work with the city to determine a redistricting process to redraw the lines so they are in compliance with the law.

New tax rate proposed at Killeen council workshop; funding options discussed

The Killeen City Council got a second look at street financing options — and a new tax rate — at the end of a workshop Tuesday. In what turned out to be a lengthy presentation, Executive Director of Finance Jon Locke presented several scenarios that may be used for street maintenance and reconstruction. Locke proposed a new property tax rate of 70.11 cents per $100 valuation — which is down from the 72.30-cent tax rate proposed in the fiscal year 2022 budget, and even lower than the current rate of 73.30. According to Locke, increased tax valuations conducted by the county have allowed the city to lower the proposed tax rate. However, residents will pay the same amount of tax with the new rate of 70.11 cents as with the previous rate of 73.30 under the old property valuations.
