AUSTIN, Texas — On Thursday, the Austin City Council had more conversations on where the city's money could go.
This summer, the city council has been considering putting a property tax election on the November ballot.

At the budget meeting, council members looked at eight options for the maximum tax rate. They chose the highest one, which is eight cents over the state limit.
