possibly even lowered by a penny.
Because tax collections are such an
important part of school revenues, it
behooves the district to investigate
methods of improving its collections.
One plan being considered is the
hiring of an individual whose sole job
would be collecting taxes due the
district. It is anticipated that this
person would begin work just after
the first of next year, and on the first
of February (when taxes become
delinquent), begin contacting those
taxpayers whose taxes are overdue.

trict representatives will discuss the
concept with the court at that time.
If such a program were to be
implemented, and later proved suc-
cessful, the district’s knowledge and
experience would be shared with
other interested agencies. A need
exists to find better and more
efficient ways to collect the delin-
quent taxes so that all will benefit.

Commerce held its regular monthly
meeting October 13. This year the
directors had the hard task of
selecting six people from 14 interes-
ted citizens. Never before in the
recent history of the chamber have
we had such a great response I This
just goes to show you Llano what a
great group you are. Your "we. not
1” attitude is showing!
The following names will appear on
the November ballot: Clytie- Hage-
mann, Sandra Overstreet, Ricky
Crenshaw, Luke Rogers, Sandy
Miiller and Terry Hutto. Four will be
chosen to serve a three-year term.
We have 12 directors who each serve
a three-year term. These terms are
staggered so that four retire each
year. This year Dr. Michael Dennis,
Bryan Miiller, Joyce Ricketson and
Ron Seward will have served their
time (so to speak)!
The board of directors serve as
volunteers to represent all of Llano
County. They serve no special
interest. This group of people put in
long hours to benefit all of us. There
is absolutely no pay. I am proud of

Serving Year Area the Third Monday Each Maath
MONDAY, OCT. 24 - 10-NOON
By George Wentach
USD School Board President
In last month's article I discussed
in some detail the effect of decreas-
ing property values on the coming
year's tax rate. Another critical item
that must be considered when
determining the tax rate is estima-
ting (educated guessing) the amount
of taxes that will be collected in the
coming year.
At its September meeting, the
school baord set a tax rate of nearly
60 cents per $100 of evaluation. THis
rate represents an increase of about
two cents per hundred over last
year’s rate and was computed on a
90 percent collection of the taxes due
the district. This 90 percent figure is
based on past collection experience.
The 90 percent figure is estimated
to bring to the district an income
of nearly 3.9 million, or about 80
percent of the $5 million budget for
this year’s operations. The remain-
ing million will come from state and
federal funding, interest, and school
land leases. Interestingly, a collec-
tion rate of 5 percent more (95
percent) would bring in an additional
$217,000, showing that an increase
of just one percent in the rate nets
approximatley $43,000 in additional
income. If the board had had
confidence in a collection rate
greater than 90 percent, it is
* probable that the two-cent tax
increase could have been added and

care so much about this community.
It is a pleasure to see how they work
together for the benefit of us all.
Old Boom Days isn’t far away. If
you or your organization is interested
in having a booth, please contact the
chamber office as soon as possible.
As in year past, there is no charge
for booth space for Llano County
residents. It takes community
participation to make any event a
success. And we're counting on you
to make all of this work. If you are
interested in volunteering to help out
at Boom Days, let this office or any
director know.
Plans are being made for Santa’s Big
Night. This year Santa will arrive on
the square on Friday, November 25.
There will be a live broadcast from
the courthouse square. They will also
be providing refreshments. The
Evening Lions Club will be present-
ing candy to children who come to
visit Santa. The youth choir from
Lutie Watkins United Methodist
Church will be on hand to sing
Christmas carols. All this adds up to
a wonderful night in Llano.
