Summary Explanation & Background:

Two public hearings are required by state law to adopt a millage rate and budget by taxing
authorities levying a millage rate. The first public hearing (tentative hearing) is advertised on
the Notice of Proposed Property Taxes (TRIM Notice) mailed by the Property Appraiser. The
final public hearing will be advertised within fifteen (15) days of adopting the tentative millage
and budget. The final hearing must be held within five (5) days but no less than two (2) days
after the advertisement appears in the newspaper. In the hearings required, the first
substantive issue discussed shall be the percentage increase in millage over the rolled-back
rate necessary to fund the budget, if any, and the specific purposes for which ad valorem tax
Page 3 of 38
revenues are being increased. During such discussion, the governing body shall hear
comments regarding the proposed increase and explain the reasons for the proposed increase
over the rolled-back rate. The general public shall be allowed to speak and to ask questions
before adoption of any measures by the governing body. The governing body shall adopt its
tentative of final millage rate before adopting its tentative or final budget.
Four ordinances have been introduced for the first reading with respect to the final adoption of
the proposed FY2021 budget: one adopting the millage rate for the operation of the City and
the voted debt service millage rate on the Series 2005 General Obligation Bonds; one
adopting the General Fund and related budgets of the City; one changing the charges for
services of the Solid Waste Utility Enterprise Fund; and one adopting the Enterprise Funds
and Capital Improvements Programs budgets for the City.
One resolution has been introduced for the first reading with respect to changing the charges
for services of the Water and Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund.
The tentative operating millage rate is $7.9360 mils which is 10% above the revenue neutral
rolled-back rate of $7.2145 mils. The Voted Debt Service levy of $0.3147 mils is 46.93%
below the maximum levy authorized by the Series 2005 General Obligation Bonds of $0.5930
mils.
Alternatives:
None. The adoption of the Tentative Operating and Voted Debt Service millages, annual
Operating, Enterprise and Capital Budgets at the first public hearing is required by law under
Florida Statute Chapter 200.

the rollback rate, if any, to fund the General Fund Budget and the purposes for which
the ad valorem tax revenues are being increased.
❑Hear comments from public regarding increase in ad valorem revenues and millage
