This is to give notice that the City of Coleman plans to use their ARP Allocation for the Brazos St. Sewer Line Replacement. Pursuant to Executive Order 11988 and Executive Order 11990, to determine the potential effect that its activity in the floodplain and wetlands will have on the human environment. According to the Fish & Wildlife Services, National Wetlands Inventory, landscaping may occur within an approximate 0.05-acre section of wetlands (riverine). The proposed project is located on property owned by the City of Coleman, Coleman County, Texas along Brazos Street and East Mesquite Street.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains and wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains and wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Commenters are encouraged to send any questions or concerns to the City Secretary, city.secretary@cityofcolemantx.us by August 4, 2023 at 2:00 P.M.

A tax rate of $0.441866 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of the City of Coleman.
| PROPOSED TAX RATE | $0.441866 per $100 |
| NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE | $0.433564 per $100 |
| VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE | $0.441867 per $100 |
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2021 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for the City of Coleman from the same properties in both the 2020 tax year and the 2021 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that the City of Coleman may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that the City of Coleman is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2021 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2021, AT 5:15 P.M., AT THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS LOCATED AT 200 W. LIVEOAK, COLEMAN, TEXAS.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, City of Coleman is not required to hold an election at which voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate. However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the City Council of the City of Coleman at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE RATES MENTIONED ABOVE CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
Property tax amount= (tax rate) x (taxable value of your property)/100
| FOR the proposal: | Mayor Tommy Sloan |
| Mayor Pro Tem Sharlene Hetzel | |
| Councilmember Tracy Rankin | |
| Councilmember Monte Sides | |
| Councilmember Bobby McGee | |
| AGAINST the proposal: | None |
| PRESENT and not voting: | None |
| ABSENT: | None |
The 86th Texas Legislature modified the manner in which the voter-approval tax rate is calculated to limit the rate of growth of property taxes in the state.
The following table compares the taxes imposed on the average residence homestead by the City of Coleman last year to the taxes proposed to be imposed on the average residence homestead by City of Coleman this year.
| 2020 | 2021 | Change | |
| Total tax rate (per $100 of value) | $0.438623 | $0.441866 | increase of $0.003243, or 0.74% |
| Average homestead taxable value | $52,067 | $54,311 | increase of $2,244, or 4.31% |
| Tax on average homestead | $228.38 | $239.98 | increase of $11.60, or 5.08% |
