PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to have the Commission approve Resolution No. 866 establishing the Final Millage Rate at 3.600 mils or an alternative rate the Commission deems appropriate. CONSIDERATIONS: The actions requested in this agenda item are necessary to comply with the Truth in Millage Act and to approve desired changes to the budget subsequent to the Budget Workshops. The Commission can reduce the millage further at the final budget hearing scheduled for September 28, 1998. On July 6, 1998 the Commission established the proposed millage rate at 3.6000 mils. ALTERNATIVES: New 0/0 Millage Revenue Tax Rate Generated Increase Roll Back Rate 3.5175 $114,607 .00% Current Millage 3.6000 189,415 2.34% Proposed Rate 3.5495 143,625 .91% For comparison, a home with an assessed value of$100,000, the homeowners taxes would reflect the following change. Assessed value of $100,000 Assessed value of$100,000 Assessed value of$100,000 Millage llim 3.5175 3.6000 3.5495 Dollar Increase $ 0.00 8.25 3.20 0/0 Increase .00% 2.34% .91% Following are three reasons for giving careful considerations to leaving the millage at 3.6000 mils. 1. Attached are tables demonstrating that Winter Springs receives less General Fund Revenues per-capita than any other City in Seminole County, has the lowest per-capita rate of expenditures of any Seminole County City and has the lowest millage of any City in Seminole County. 2. We need to begin establishing revenue to offset the cost we have for the additional eight police officers the City has employed, 3. The Commission noted a desire to set aside some additional funds for making improvements to our comprehensive plan. The revenue from property taxes shown in your budget is based upon the millage rate being set at 3.5495 mils. Ifwe leave the millage rate at the current 3.600 mils an additional $45,648 will be generated that we could budget for improvements to the comprehensive plan. Current Millage Proposed Millage Millage 3.600 3.5495 Revenue $3,182,638 3.136.990 $ 45,648 RECOMMENDATION: 1. The Commission hold a Public Hearing relative to adoption of the Final Millage and Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 1999, and a) Adopt Resolution No. 866 setting the Final Millage at 3.6000 mils, or at an alternative rate the Commission deems appropriate.
