The City Charter, Article IV, Section 4.04, requires that the City Council set and conduct a Public Hearing on the Budget. As stated in the City Charter, notice of the Public Hearing on the Budget must be published 5-15 days prior to the hearing. Since the City will be holding a public haring in compliance with the Truth in Taxation Laws to set the tax rate, the public hearing for the City's proposed Fiscal Year 2021 budget could be held at the same City Council meeting.

It is also important to note that setting the public hearing date for the tax rate and the fiscal year budget need to be done as separate items with the City Council taking action on each of the items separately.

Staff recommends that Council set Tuesday, September 8, 2020, at 7:00 P.M. as the Public Hearing date and time on the Proposed Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget in accordance with Article IV, Section 4.04 of the City Charter. The Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chambers at Allen City Hall, 305 Century Parkway, Allen, Texas. The City Council will vote to approve a budget at the September 8, 2020 City Council Meeting.

I make a motion to set Tuesday, September 8, 2020, at 7:00 P.M. at Allen City Hall, 305 Century Parkway, Allen, Texas as the date, time and place for the Public Hearing on the City's Proposed Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget in accordance with Article IV, Section 4.04 of the City Charter.
