"The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) announced recipients of the 2026 Texas Emergency Management Awards, recognizing excellence in emergency management, leadership, service, and community partnership across Texas. Award recipients were selected based on criteria unique to each category, with honorees demonstrating leadership, courage, innovation, service, and dedication to strengthening preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts in communities across the state. Induction into the Texas Emergency Management Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who have dedicated their lives to enhancing emergency management in Texas and across the nation. These leaders represent the discipline through service, innovation, mentorship, and lifelong commitment to protecting communities."

This is among the highest honors bestowed by the State of Texas on any emergency services person. A well-deserved recognition of the service our beloved Fire Chief has done for our community for the past 30 years.

2025 Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase

A tax rate of $0.10 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the
governing body of Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.100000 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE RATE $0.096154 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL RATE $0.099809 per $100
DE MINIMIS RATE $0.109824 per $100
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2024 tax year
that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue
for Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10
from the same properties in both the 2024 tax year and
the 2025 tax year.

The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that
Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10
may adopt without holding an election to seek
voter approval of the rate, unless the de minimis rate
for Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10
exceeds the voter-approval tax rate for
Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10.

The de minimis rate is the rate equal to the sum of the
no-new-revenue maintenance and operations rate
for Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10
that will raise $500,000, and the current debt rate for
Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10.

The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue rate. This means that
Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10 is proposing
to increase property taxes for the 2025 tax year.
