REQUEST: The Finance Department is requesting the City Commission approve
Resolution No. 2001-35, computing the Proposed Millage Cap for Fiscal Year 2001-2002,
establishing the rolled-back rate and setting the date, time and place of a public hearing to
consider the tentative millage rate and tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2001-2002.
PURPOSE: To gain Commission agreement regarding the information to be relayed to
the Property Appraiser on the Form DR-420 which sets the proposed millage rate cap,
establishes the rolled-back rate and sets the date, time and place for the public hearing to
consider the tentative millage rate and tentative budget.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Resolution No. 2001-35:
· Sets the Proposed Millage Rate Cap. The current Millage for FY 2000-2001 is 3.5400. The
Proposed Millage for FY 2001-2002 to fund the tentative budget as it stands is at 3.84. This
millage was agreed on at the last budget workshop. At that time we felt the millage was
more than adequate to fund the list of changes. It now appears low according to the
following:
II Note that the 3.84 millage rate does not entirely cover all the budget changes.
Implementing all of the Commission changes at a 3.84 millage rate would require a dip
into fund balance for $11,000.
D The 3.84 millage rate reflected the quote used for the pas Health Plan and pre-January
employee premiums. That quote wasn't as good as it could have been.
D There appears to be additional cost associated with the pas Health Plan not currently
known or factored into the Tentative budget as it currently stands. It was requested at the
Budget workshop that staff cost out not only a return to pre-January premiums (which we
did) but also that the POS Health Plan quoted contain pre-October benefit levels (which it
does not). The quote that we used for the POS Health Plan contains benefit levels that are
somewhere in between what the employees had and what they have now. Our insurance
agent is working on getting us a new quote for a POS Health Plan that contains similar
benefit levels to the pre-October 2000 plan. In addition, the quote used in the tentative
budget was a quote as of July 1,2001 versus a quote as of January 1,2002. Our
insurance agent is working on getting us a quote that reflects the cost in January 2002. An
estimated increase for these two issues is not known at this time. '
. The Finance Department is seeking agreement for the Proposed Millage Rate Cap to go
on the DR-420 which is the Form the Property Appraiser uses to notice residents
regarding their proposed property taxes. ' The millage rate later adopted can be lowered if
neceSsary; however, if it is raised, the residents must be re-noticed at the City's expense.
. Another tenth ofa mill - to 3.94 - would add $114,000 in tax revenue. This amount
would cover the current dip into fund balance and hopefully cover the additional
increases to the POS Health Plan for pre-October 2000 benefit levels and a quote as of
January 1,2002.
. The Resolution establishes the Rolled-Back rate at 3.3528 as calculated on the attached DR-
420.
. The Resolution sets the date, time and place ofthe public hearing to be held to consider the
proposed Millage rate and the tentative budget - City Commission Chambers located at City
Hall, 1126 East State Road 434, Winter Springs, Florida, on September 10, 2001 at 6:30pm
or soon thereafter.
RECOMMENDATION:
Agree on a proposed millage rate cap to be placed in Resolution 2001-35 and adopt Resolution
2001-35.

(1) Upon completion of the assessment of all
property pursuant to s. 193.023, the property appraiser
shall certify to each taxing authority the taxable value
within the jurisdiction of .the taxing authority. This
certification shall include a copy of the statement
required to be submitted under s. 195.073(3), as
applicable to that taxing authority. The form on which
the certification is made shall include instructions to
each taxing authority describing the proper method of
computing a millage rate which, exclusive of new
construction, additions to structures, deletions,
increases in the value of improvements that have
Chapter 200, F.S. (2000)
undergone a substantial rehabilitation which increased
the assessed value of such improvements by at least
100 percent, and property added due to geographic
boundary changes, will provide the same ad valorem
tax revenue for each taxing authority as was levied
during the prior year. That millage rate shall be known
as the "rolled-back rate." The information provided
pursuant to this subsection shall also be sent to the tax
collector by the property appraiser at the time it is sent
to each taxing authority.
(2) No millage shall be levied until a reSOlution)
Ot ordinan~e has been approved by the governmg
board of the taxing authority which resolution or
ordinance must be approved by the taxing authority
according to the following procedure:
(a) 1. Upon preparation of a tentative budget, but
prior to adoption thereot each taxing authority shail
~te a proposed millage ~ necessary to fund the
tentative budget other than the portion of the budget to
be funded from sources other than ad valorem taxes. In
computing proposed or final millage rates, each taxing
authority shall utilize not less than 95 percent of the
taxable value certified pursuantto subsection (1).
2. The tentative budget of the county
commission shall be prepared and submitted in
accordance with s. 129.03. '
3. The tentative budget of the school district
shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with
chapter 237, provided that the date of submission shall
not be later than 24 days after certification of value
pursuant to subsection (1).
4. Taxing authorities other than the county and
school district shall prepare and consider tentative,and
final budgets in accordance with this section and
applicable provisions of law, including budget
procedures applicable to the taxing authority, provided
such procedures do not conflict with general law.
(b) Within 35 days of certification of value
pursuant to subsection (1), each taxing authority shall
advise the property appraiser of its proposed millage
rate, of its rolled-back rate computed pursuant to
subsection (1), and of the date, time, and place at
which a public hearing will be held to consider the
proposed millage rate and the tentative budget. The
property appraiser shall utilize this information in
preparing the notice of proposed property taxes
pursuant to s. 200.069. The deadline for mailing the
notice shall be the later of 55 days after certification of
value pursuant to subsection (1) or 10 days after either
the date the tax roll is approved or the interim roll
procedures under s. 193.1145 are instituted. If the

Chapter 200, F.S. (2000)
subsequent deadlines provided in this section shall be
extended. The number of days by which the deadlines

which the deadline for mailing the notice of proposed
taxes is extended beyo!ld 55 days after certification. If
any taxing authority fails to provide the information
required in this paragraph to the property appraiser in a
timely fashion, the taxing authority shall be prohibited
from levying a millage rate greater than the rolled-
back rate computed pursuant to subsection (I) for the
upcoming fiscal year, which rate shall be computed by
the property appraiser and used in preparing the notice
of proposed property taxes.
(c) . Within 80 days of the certification of value
pursuant to subsection (1), but not earlier than 65 days
after certification, the governing body of each taxing
authority shall hold a public hearing on the tentative
budget and proposed millage rate. Prior to the
conclusion of the hearing, the governing body of the
taxing authority shall amend the tentative budget as it
sees fit, adopt the amended tentative budget,
recompute its proposed millage rate, and publicly
announce the percent, if any, by which the recomputed
proposed millage rate exceeds the rolled-back rate
computed pursuant to subsection (I). That percent
shall be characterized as the percentage increase in
property taxes tentatively adopted by the governing
body.
(d) Within 15 days after the meeting adopting
the tentative budget, the taxing authority shall
advertise iri a newspaper of general circulation in the
county as provided in subsection (3), its intent to
finally adopt' a millage rate and budget. A public
hearing to finalize the budget and adopt a millage rate
shall be held not less than 2 days or more than 5 days
after the day that the advertisement is first published.
During the hearing, the governing body of the taxing
authority shall amend the adopted tentative budget as
it sees fit, adopt a final budget, and adopt a resolution
or ordinance stating the millage rate to be levied. The
resolution or ordinance shall state the percent, if any,
by which the millage rate to be levied exceeds the
rolled-back rate computed pursuant to subsection (1),
which shall be characterized as the percentage increase
in property taxes adopted by the governing body. The
adoption of the budget and the millage-levy resolution
or ordinance shall be by separate votes. For each
taxing authority levying millage, the name of the
taxing authority, the rolled-back rate, the percentage
increase, and the millage rate to be levied shall be
publicly announced prior to the adoption of the
millage-levy resolution or ordinance. In no event may
the millage rate adopted pursuant to this paragraph
exceed the millage rate tentatively adopted pursuant to
paragraph (c). If the rate tentatively adopted pursuant
to paragraph (c) exceeds the proposed rate provided to
the property appraiser pursuant to paragraph (b), or as
subsequently adjusted pursuant to 'subsection (10),
each taxpayer within the jurisdiction of the taxing
authority shall be sent notice by first-class mail of his
or her taxes under the tentatively adopted millage rate
and his or her taxes under the previously proposed
rate. The notice must be prepared by the property
appraiser, at the expense of the taxing authority, and
must generally conform to the requirements of s.
200.069. If such additional notice is necessary, its
mailing must precede the hearing held pursuant to this
paragraph by not less than 10 days and not more than
15 days.
(e)I. In the hearings required pursuant to
paragraphs (c) and (d), the first substantive issue
discussed shall be the percentage increase in millage
over the rolled-back rate necessary to fund the budget,
if any, and the specific purposes for which ad valorem
tax revenues are being increased. During such
discussion, the governing body shall hear comments
regarding . the proposed increase and explain the
reasons for the proposed increase over the rolled-back
rate. The general public shall be allowed to speak and
to ask questions prior to adoption of any measures by
the governing body. The governing body shall adopt
its tentative or final millage rate prior to adopting its
tentative or final budget.
2. These hearings shall be held after 5 p.m. jf
scheduled on a day other than Saturday. No hearing
shall be held on a Sunday. The county commission
shall not schedule its hearings on days scheduled for
hearings by the school board. The hearing dates
scheduled by the county commission and school board
shall not be utilized by any other taxing authority
within the county for its public hearings. A
multicounty taxing authority shall make every
reasonable effort to avoid scheduling hearings on days,
utilized by the counties or school districts within its
jurisdiction. Tax levies and budgets for dependent
special taxing districts shall be adopted at the hearings
for the taxing authority to which such districts are
dependent, following such discussion and adoption of
levies and budgets for the superior taxing authority. A
taxing authority may adopt the tax levies for all of its
