REQUEST:
The City Manager is requesting that the City Commission hold a Public Hearing relative to
the approval of Resolution No. 2012-28, which establishes the Tentative Operating Millage
Rate for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 for the City of Winter Springs at 2.4300 mills which is
2.25% less than the rolled-back rate of 2.4859 mills and the Tentative Voted Debt Service
Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 for the City of Winter Springs at 0.1100 mills.
SYNOPSIS:
The purpose of this agenda item is to have the Commission approve Resolution No. 2012-
28, otherwise known as the Tentative Millage Rates for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 and related
advertising.
CONSIDERATIONS:
On July 23, 2012, the Commission established the 2012-2013 proposed operating
millage rate (millage cap) at 2.4300 mills and the proposed voted debt service millage
rate at 0.1100 mills. The proposed operating millage rate of 2.4300 as submitted on
the DR-420 is 2.25% less than the rolled-back rate of 2.4859 mills. Resolution No.
2012-28 will establish the 2012-2013 tentative millage rates. It is recommended that
the tentative millage rates not vary from the proposed millage rates that were
previously established.
The operating millage for the current fiscal year 2011-2012 is 2.4500 mills. The
voted debt service millage for the current fiscal year 2011-2012 is 0.1100 mills.
The FY 2012-2013 Proposed Budget as transmitted by the City Manager on June 29,
2012 incorporated an operating millage rate of 2.4300 mills and a voted debt service
rate of 0.1100 mills.
Public Hearings 500 PAGE 1 OF 2 - September 10, 2012
Any subsequent revisions by the City Commission to the tentative millage rates and/or the
tentative budget will be reflected in the Final Millage and Final Budget Hearings scheduled
the tentative millage rates that are
for September 24, 2012 at 5:15 p.m. However,
established tonight can not be exceeded at the final hearing.
As such, it is recommended
that the Commission set the tentative operating millage rate equivalent to the proposed
operating millage cap of 2.4300 mills. The Commission may reduce the operating millage
rate at the final hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The decision to levy an operating millage rate of 2.4300 mills as opposed to the rolled-back
rate of 2.4859 mills results in reduced ad valorem General Fund revenues of approximately
$85,000. The decision to maintain the voted debt service millage rate at 0.1100 mills
required a subsidy from the General Fund to the Central Winds Debt Service Fund in the
amount of $27,000, which would have been larger had the Central Winds General
Obligation Bond not been refinanced in 2012.

This Agenda Item has been electronically forwarded to the Mayor and City Commission,
City Manager, City Attorney/Staff, and is available on the City’s Website, LaserFiche, and
