IV. Consideration of Adopted Tentative Millaqe Rates and Adopted
Tentative Budgets for Fiscal Year 1994 -1995.
A. Explanation and discussion of the percentage by which (if any)
the tentative millage rate exceeds the rolled back rate.
Town Manager Harrington presented the adopted tentative budget in the
amount of $1,215,200 which reflects a millage rate of $3.2897 per each
$1,000 of appraised value. He pointed out that this is the rolled back
rate and as a result, there will be no increase in the amount of tax
money which the Town will collect over what was collected in 1993 -1994.
Mr. Harrington then added that the tentative adopted Debt Service Millage
is $.7434.When added to the millage rate proposed for the General Fund,
the total would be $4.0331 which is lower than the total millage in
1993 -1994.
B. Comment from the Commission and the Public.
There was no comment from either the Commission or the Public.
V. Adoption of Final Millage Rates for Fiscal Year 1994 -1995.

The Town Clerk read Resolution #94 -12 by title after which Commissioner
True moved that Resolution #94 -12 adopting a budget for the General Fund
in the amount of $1,215,200 for fiscal year 1994 -1995 be adopted. The'

B. Resolution #94 -13 ADOPTING THE WATER FUND BUDGET FOR THE
TOWN OF GULF STREAM FOR FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING ON OCTOBER 1,
1994 AND ENDING ON SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.
The Town Clerk read the resolution by title. The Town-Manager-introduced
Robert Ori, the Town's Water Rate Consultant. Mr. Ori presented a
tentative budget for the Water Fund in the amount of $509,603 showing
two sources of revenue, Water Sales and Interest Income. Expenditures
were listed as Operating Expenses, $432,034, Debt Service, $11,916, and
Operating Transfers Out, $65,653. Mr. Ori reported that with the 10%
increase in the cost for purchasing water from the City of Delray Beach,
the cost to each consumer for just the pass thru charge would be $1.70
per month per meter, $8.58 Capacity Charge and $1.31 per 1,000 gal.
commodity charge. Mr. Ori reported that he had arrived at the expenditure
for contractual services related to the operation of the Town's Water
System by analyzing historical data furnished by the staff and he
expected to use this same data to assist in preparation of a rate structure.
Mr. Ori closed by advising that he is recommending a rate increase of
33.15% in order to meet the requirements of the tentative budget but that
would not be applied equally to each consumer as the new rate structure
would be such that excessive users would be assuming a greater percentage
of the increase than those who will fit into the scale at what is to
be considered a reasonable usage for their particular property. Mr.
Ori expected the average increase would be approximately $17.00 per
month. He suggested an alternative increase could be applied over a two
year period with the first year at 26 +8 and 78 for the second year.
Commissioner True believed that if an increase of 33.15% is necessary
to meet the anticipated expenditures, it should be applied up front.
Mr. Harrington stated that Delray has advised that there will be an
average increase each year of 38 for the next several years and he
believed it would be better to establish rates in the beginning that
will generate enough revenue to have on hand to cover the Delray
increases for 2 to 3 years without Gulf Stream having to increase rates
each year.
Mr. Harrington reminded that a rate structure is not being established
at this meeting but will be ready for consideration in October, 1994.
Mayor Koch believed that with the 33.158 increase this year, it may be
possible to have a rate reduction in the following year with surplus
carried forward from 1994 -1995.

AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
VII. Proposed Development and Annexation Agreement between the Town
of Gulf Stream and the Florida Inland Navigation District.
Mr. Harrington presented the proposed Agreement and advised that there
have been no changes to the document since it was last considered by the
Commission at the Public Hearing held on September 9, 1994. He further
advised that the ordinance to cover the annexation would be presented
for final reading and adoption at the Regular Meeting to be held on
October 14, 1994, at which time the FIND parcel adjacent to Place Au
Soliel on the north would be a part of Gulf Stream.

or the public. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm.
