Meeting Authorization
PUBLICLYANNOUNCE THE REQUEST
REQUEST: The City Manager is requesting that the City Commission hold a Public Hearing
relative to the approval of Resolution No. 2008-47, which establishes the Final Operating Millage
Rate and the Final Voted Debt Service Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 for the City of
Winter Springs.
Note to Mayor and Commission: Once consensus has been reached on the
millage budget the Finance staff requests a recess to calculate the final
numbers.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to have the Commission approve Resolution No. 2008-
47, otherwise known as the Final Millage Rates for Fiscal Year 2008-2009.
CONSIDERATIONS:
On September 8, 2008, the Commission adopted a tentative operating millage rate of 3.0338 mills and a
tentative voted debt service millage rate of 0.1100 mills for a total tentative millage rate of 3.1438 mills.
Tonight the Commission will set the final millage rates which can not exceed the tentative millage rates.
At the budget workshop on September 17, 2008, the City Manager provided the Commission with a new
`base' millage rate of 2.2486 mills along with a list of potential add-backs for their consideration. This
agenda item which will establish the final millage rates must be approved prior to the final budget agenda
item (Public Hearing 501). However, it will be necessary to engage in budget discussions in order to
determine the millage rate.
Since the tentative millage rate of 3.0338 is less than the rolled-back rate of 3.6512 mills the vote will
only require a simple majority.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Commission adopt Resolution No. 2008-47 establishing the final operating
millage rate at whatever rate the Commission deems necessary for fiscal year 2008-2009, the final voted
debt service millage rate at 0.1100 mills for fiscal year 2008-2009 and publicly announce the percentage
by which the final operating millage rate is less than the rolled-back rate.
A `sample' motion follows which includes the necessary elements for statutory compliance:
1 make the motion that the City of Winter Springs adopt Resolution No. 2008-47 establishing the final
operating millage rate at mills, establishing the voted debt service rate at 0.1100 mills and
publicly announce that the final operating millage rate is % less than the computed rolled-back rate
of 3.6512 mills.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
Upon approval and adoption of Resolution No. 2008-47, the millage rates for fiscal year 2008-2009 would
be communicated to the Seminole County Property Appraiser and the Seminole County Tax Collector as
the millage rate to be levied by the City of Winter Springs for the 2008 tax year.
