WHEREAS, economic conditions in the region have resulted
in layoffs, reduced production, wage and benefit concessions and a
general economic downturn; and
WHEREAS, because of such economic conditions, the City
Council recognizes that service reductions may be necessary within
City government; and
WHEREAS, the City is also committed to increasing
productivity and efficiency in city government in order to assure
that needed services are provided at the lowest possible cost; and
WHEREAS, in order to reinforce this emphasis, the City
Council wants to quantify its intent to implement those changes
necessary to assure cost-effective delivery of municipal services by
stating its intention to work with City staff to reduce the tax rate
in the city for Fiscal Year 1986 from the proposed eighty-one cent
(81jfl rate to seventy-two cents (72j6) per one-hundred dollars
($100.00) valuation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT;
THAT the City Manager and staff are hereby directed to prepare and
present to Council a proposed budget for the 1986 Fiscal Year which

one-hundred dollars ($100.00) valuation. Council hereby declares
its intent to make all reasonable efforts to adopt a budget which
provides for such a tax rate decrease.
