14th Annual Texas Youth Advisory Commission Summit

The 14^th Annual Texas Youth Advisory Commission (YAC) Summit is a two-day, statewide event hosted by the City of Rockwall and sponsored by the Texas Municipal League. While the summit has a very serious mission of educating, inspiring, and empowering, it is also built for fun. Attendees will walk away with building blocks for future success thanks to a schedule overflowing with life lessons, practical advice, team-building exercises, and, of course, laughter.

Don't have a YAC but are interested in finding out what one can do for your city? Join us at the summit. Several of our active YAC groups got their start at a YAC summit. The summits are a great way to network with other adult and youth leaders.

Early registration is only $50 per attendee. For more information and to register, visit www.yacsummit.org.

TML Revenue Manual for Texas Cities  

The TML Revenue Manual for Texas Cities covers everything you need to know, from the biggest sources of city revenue-property and sales taxes-on down to the most mundane and arcane-open records charges, raffles, even cemetery taxes.

The manual is organized alphabetically by revenue type and presented in an easy-to-understand, question-and-answer format. For each type of revenue, the basics are covered first-such as how the revenue source is adopted, who collects it, on what it can be spent, and so forth. More advanced material is included as well, such as strategic considerations about how particular sources of revenue interact with other taxes and fees, and how to switch from one revenue stream to another. The handbook should be useful to councilmembers, management, finance officers and staff, and city attorneys.
