the amount of tax they are paying when they are disabled or reach the age of 65; and
WHEREAS, implementation of a tax limitation for disabled and over -65
homestead owners in the Town of Westlake will make homestead tax law for the Town
of Westlake the same as the homestead tax policy for independent school districts.

THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS:
SECTION 1: The Board of Aldermen of the Town of Westlake does hereby
