III. Presentation of the Proposed Budget and Proposed Millage Rate for
Fiscal Year 2018-2019.
A. Explanation and discussion of Proposed Millage Rate as
compared to the rolled back rate.
Town Manager Dunham pointed out that the proposed millage
Rate is 4.05 mills which is below the 2019 rolled back rate of 4.0599
and the prior year (2018) millage rate was 4.36 mills. He said the prior
year (2018) ad valorem proceeds for operations was $4,602,628 as
compared to the Ad Valorem proceeds at the proposed millage rate for
2019 operations of $4,618,123. Mr. Dunham then pointed out that the
final gross taxable value for Gulf Stream for calendar year 2017 was
$1,055,648,517 as compared to the estimated gross taxable value for
calendar year 2018 of $1,140,277,234. He said that none of these figures
have changed since the budget was presented in July 2018.
Commissioner Lyons asked why the revenue for inspections is only shown
at $300,000 when there was a much larger amount shown as collected the
previous year. Ms. Tew explained that these figures are actually those
of the Delray Building Dept. but the law requires that we show them in
our records as well even though Gulf Stream has never touched this
money. She added that the same amounts are expensed out in the budget.
Commissioner White, referring to the Penny Sales Tax, asked why it was
shown on page 7 as $60,400 and on page 3 as $71,000. It was pointed out
that these are two different tax sources, the Penny Sales Tax and the
Local Government Half Cent Sales Tax.
Commissioner Lyons noted that the Town Manager had stated that the Town
would be spending about $200,000 on planning and design in the CIP
project with no actual construction in this fiscal year. He asked that
if the planning and design were to be completed early could the
construction commence earlier than is being planned to which Mr. Dunham
replied that this is a fluid document and most certainly the dates are

flexible. He added that some budget amendments would be necessary but
this could most certainly be done.

General Fund, $1,209,372 for the Water Fund, and $60,400 for the Penny
Sales Tax Fund.
