Staff recommends a millage rate of 9.6500 mills for FY 22, down from 9.8000 mills this fiscal year. Each change of 0.1000 mills in the City millage rate results in a change of $116,039 in the City's property tax receipts and a further change of $9,164 in the proceeds the CRA receives from the City. Staff further recommends that the first budget hearing be held prior to the first regularly scheduled Commission meeting on September 15th and the second budget hearing held prior to the second regularly scheduled Commission meeting on September 29th, with the required advertising for the second hearing conducted on Sunday, September 26th. All recommended dates conform to State Statute (TRIM) requirements. Also, as required by State Statute, these dates don't conflict with those scheduled by the County Board of Commissioners (September 14th and 28th) and the County School Board (July 28th and September 9th.) As discussed at the Budget Workshop, the 6.6% increase the City's tax base discussed at that time, coupled with the recommended 1.5% decrease in the millage rate, is considered to be 4.72% tax increase by State Statute, and as required by State Statute, will be announced as such at the beginning of both September hearings. It should be noted that the millage rate and hearing information that is decided upon at this meeting will be reflected on the TRIM notices sent out to all property owners by the County by August 24th. The millage rate appearing on the TRIM notice is, for all practical purposes, the maximum millage rate the City can consider at the September hearings, since, although a higher millage rate can be adopted at that time, it becomes very expensive since first class mail has to be sent to all property owners advising them of this increase. Conversely, the Commission can adopt a lower millage rate at either of the September hearings with no additional requirements placed on the City. Proposed Action: It is recommended that the City Commission determine an appropriate millage rate that best meets Commission objectives, establish the date, time and place for the initial September hearing and direct that the City Manager have the appropriate TRIM documentation completed, signed electronically and entered into the TRIM system no later than August 4, 2021.
