Temple City Manager David Blackburn submitted his first budget Friday and it includes a 10.2 percent spending increase, a small tax rate increase and outspending projected revenue by about $4 million.

The proposed 2006-07 budget estimates spending at $88,412,484, in addition to $78,850,857 in proposed capital improvement projects over a multi-year period.

The proposed tax rate is 58.55 cents per $100 evaluation, which breaks down to 34.65 cents for maintenance and operation and 23.9 cents for interest and sinking funds. The current tax rate is 57.45 cents. The tax rate will not be finalized until after the certified appraisal roll for ad valorem taxes is available in late July, said Blackburn.

The budget was filed with the city secretary
