A PUBLIC MEETING TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 14, 2021 AT
6:00PM and on September 21, 2021 at 3:00PM both meetings to be held AT City Council Chambers, 5th Floor, 411 8th St. Odessa, TX 79761.

However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the City of Odessa at their offices or by attending the public meeting mentioned above.
