Town Manager Gwynn presented the Budget Summary to the Commission and ex-

from the water fund $19,855.00 leaving a need of $429,506.00 to be raised
by property tax. The Town properties assessed valuation as presented by
the State and County Property Appraiser total taxable assessed value is
$101,124,057.00, plugging in a millage of 4.2473 will produce the needed
property tax of $429,506.00. This levy represents 17 3/4% increase over
the rollback rate. However, it represents a millage reduction from 5.7123
to 4.2473 and will bring in approximately 18% more tax revenue than last
year.
The tax roll was raised 59% from $63,581,541.00 to $101,124,057.00. The
budget reflects a 7'% salary increase for all Departments. It also rep-
resents no anticipated revenue from the County Road and Bridge Fund and
no participation in the 5 cent sale tax allocation.

erty owners and the property is assessed by the arm of the Government --

ment rose 60% and the Town of Highland Beach 90 %.
