Mineola City Council adopted an $8,085,622 budget Monday following a public hearing last Thursday that drew no members of the public.

The budget will be funded by a property tax rate three cents lower than last year, also approved on Monday. The council adopted the rate of 53.2 cents per $100 valuation because it does not raise any new revenue. The council also approved a budget that does not foresee any increase in sales tax revenues.
