TITLE
Final Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2023 - 2024
SUMMARY
The City Manager is requesting that the City Commission hold a Public Hearing relative
to the approval of Resolution 2023-28, which establishes the Final Operating Millage
Rate for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 for the City of Winter Springs. On September 11, 2023
the City Commission adopted a tentative operating millage rate of 2.4100 mills.
Tonight the Commission will set the final operating millage rate which cannot exceed
the tentative millage rate. The decision to levy an operating millage rate of 2.4100 mills

General Fund revenue of $669,430 (net of statutory discount).
