The Commission regularly holds meetings and public hearings related to the work of the Commission. Meetings April through June are typically one of three types:
Regular Business Meetings: The Commission is responsible for reviewing and certifying any objections or recommendations relating to the Approved Budget of all taxing districts under its jurisdiction. Through the months of April to June, the Commissioners meet to discuss budget certifications for each TSCC member district during their regular business meetings. Other Commission business is sometimes scheduled during these meetings as well; check the agenda link for details.
Public Hearings on Tax Levies: The Commissioners conduct public hearings on proposed tax levies for TSCC member districts. At each hearing, the Commissioners pose questions to the governing board of the district about the proposed measure. The purpose of the hearings is to give the public additional information and the opportunity to provide public comment prior to a voting.
Public Hearings on Budgets: The Commissioners conduct public hearings to review and allow public comment on the Approved Budget (prior to adoption) of districts with a population exceeding 200,000. At each hearing, the Commissioners pose questions to the governing board of the district to learn more about the budget for the upcoming year. Specific meeting details can be found on the webpage of the individual taxing districts.
