PUBLIC HEARINGS – CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF BUDGETS FOR 2007-2008 AND TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING

I.A. Truth in Taxation – Notice to Increase Tax

The first item on the agenda was a truth in taxation hearing, as required under state law. In accordance with relevant statutory and constitutional provisions, President Rosenthal explained that the Maricopa County Community College District proposed to increase primary property taxes in fiscal year 2007-2008 on existing property. The proposed increase was two percent, equaling six million, three hundred three thousand, and six hundred twenty-seven dollars in additional property tax revenues ($6,303,627.00).

President Rosenthal afforded any resident or taxpayer the opportunity to address the Governing Board concerning the District’s proposed action to increase primary property taxes on existing property.

No citizens came forward.

President Rosenthal asked if there were any comments from members of the Board.

Governing Board Member Jerry Walker read the following statement:

“We have a countywide net growth of 37% in assessed values. This is compared with 6.5% in new property. There is a windfall in the amount of revenue that we have at our disposal. On a home currently valued at $300,000 which is worth more than 50% of its value fourteen months ago, we are not asking $5.00 per household, we are asking for $135 per home. Instead of raising $6.3 million, we are getting $170 million.”

There being no further comments, President Rosenthal concluded the truth in taxation hearing.

I.B Adoption of Budget for 2007-2008

President Rosenthal introduced the next item on the agenda which was the public hearing concerning the adoption of the proposed budget of the Maricopa County Community College District for fiscal year 2007-2008. These hearings are required by law every year when the board presents its budget. The purpose of these hearings is to give any resident or taxpayer the opportunity to protest the inclusion of any item in the proposed budgets. President Rosenthal asked Vice Chancellor of Business Services, Debra Thompson, to explain, on behalf of the Governing Board, the proposed budgets.

Vice Chancellor Thompson requested that Associate Vice Chancellor Gaye Murphy come forward to present an overview of the proposed budget. Ms. Murphy presented a PowerPoint presentation highlighting changes in the various components of the budget compared to the budget for the previous year. A total of $1,407.5 was being presented over the previous year’s total of $1,463.6M in the general fund, auxiliary fund, restricted fund, and capital fund. A copy of Ms. Murphy’s PowerPoint presentation in included in this board minutes’ packet.

President Rosenthal afforded any resident or taxpayer the opportunity to address the Governing Board concerning the inclusion of any item in the proposed budgets. No residents or taxpayers came forward.

President Rosenthal asked if there were any comments from members of the Board.

There being no comments, President Rosenthal concluded the hearing for the adoption of the budget for 2007-2008.
