III. Presentation of the Proposed Budget and Proposed Millage Rate for
Fiscal Year 2022-2023
A. Explanation and discussion of Proposed Millage Rate as
compared to the rolled back rate
Town Manager Dunham read from the 2022-23 Tentative Budget
for the record and noted that the prominent source of revenue for the
general fund was the ad valorem tax. He added that over the past five
years the Town has either lowered the ad valorem tax rate or set it at
the rollback rate. Mr. Dunham stated that in July of this year, the
Commission decided to set the millage rate at the existing rate of
3.6724 instead of the 2023 rollback rate of 3.2849. He then gave
numbers of ad valorem proceeds for the 2022 year of $4,626,948, what the
proceeds would be at the 2023 rolled back rate ($4,673,891), and the
proceeds at the proposed millage rate of $5,225,242, stating it would be
an increase of 140. Mr. Dunham stated the total budget proposed for
2023 is $9,795,393.
Town Manager Dunham stated for town personnel he was
proposing a 50-. COLA along with a $2,400 fuel assistance for one year
that would not be added to the base salary rate, which would be $200 per
month. He added that other municipalities were doing this very same
thing due to inflation. He stated that the CPI was now at 7.9, which
was down from 10.6 back in June. Town Manager Dunham recommended
promoting Rene6 Basel to the position of Town Clerk, a title change for
Anthony Beltran from Water Maintenance Supervisor to Public Works
Director, and promoting Trey Nazzaro to the position of Assistant Town
Manager/Legal.
