Authorization
REQUEST: The City Manager is requesting that the City Commission consider approval of
Resolution 2011-33, computing the Proposed Operating Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 at
2.4500 mills and voted debt service millage rate at 0.1100 mills establishing the rolled-back rate,
and setting the date, time and place of a public hearing to consider the proposed millage rate and
tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2011-2012.
____________________________________________________________________________
SYNOPSIS:
To gain Commission agreement regarding the information to be communicated to the Property
Appraiser on the Form DR-420 which sets the proposed operating millage rate and voted debt service
millage rate; establishes the rolled-back rate; and sets the date, time and place for the public hearing to
consider the proposed millage rate and tentative budget. This millage rate will be communicated to each
property owner as the ‘most probable’ number for their property taxes.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The FY 2010-2011 (current) millage rate consists of an operating millage rate of 2.4714 mills and a
voted debt service millage rate of 0.1100 mills. The FY 2011-2012 proposed budget as transmitted by
the City Manager on July 1, 2011, incorporated an operating millage rate of 2.4500 and a voted debt
service millage rate of 0.1100. Gross taxable value from the Property Appraiser as reflected on the DR
5.6% less
420 is $1,595,763,002 which is than the DR422 valuation from the prior fiscal year.

This resolution will establish the millage rate cap. The final millage rate can be less than the
adopted millage rate cap, but it cannot exceed the cap without increased expense to the City and
administrative complication.
This proposed millage rate will be applied to the property owners’ assessed values and mailed by
the Property Appraiser to each property owner in the form of the TRIM notice. Furthermore, it
will be communicated to the property owner as “the most probable number for your property
taxes” via the TRIM notice insert.
The Resolution also establishes the rolled-back rate at 2.6133 mills as calculated on the form DR-420.
The rolled-back millage rate is that rate which produces the same amount of taxes as levied in the prior
year when calculated against the current year’s tax base exclusive of new construction. The proposed
operating millage rate of 2.4500 is 6.25% less than the calculated rolled-back rate. The Resolution sets
the date, time and place of the public hearing to consider the proposed millage rate and the tentative
budget – September 12, 2011 at 5:15 pm at 1126 East State Road 434, Winter Springs, Florida
(Commission Chambers). This meeting time can not change once it has been reported as such on the
DR-420.
FISCAL IMPACT:
In periods of declining property values, the decision to maintain or lower the millage rates will result in
less ad valorem revenue than the prior year. In order to maintain a flat voted debt millage rate a transfer
from the General Fund to the Central Winds General Obligation Debt Service Fund (#225) will be
necessary in the amount of $55,500. Both scenarios have been programmed into the fiscal year 2012
Proposed Budget.
