Item 1

Proposed FY 2016 Tentative Millage Rates and Date of First Public Hearing.
The State of Florida, through the Truth in Millage Act (TRIM), obligates that the
County follow a precise process in the establishment of its annual budget. A
Recommended Budget was prepared and presented to the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) on July 21, 2015. Following the development and
presentation of a recommended budget, the County is obligated to provide certain
information concerning that budget to the Property Appraiser. This information
includes the proposed Millage rates for each of the County’s dependent taxing
districts and the establishment of a date, time and location of the first public
hearing for Millage rate and budget adoption. This information is placed on
Department of Revenue DR–420 forms and forwarded to the Property Appraiser.
Those forms provide the basis for the “TRIM” notice mailed by the Property
Appraiser to property owners in St. Johns County. The BCC will need to
approve tentative Millage rates (see the attached sheet) for the County’s TRIM
mailing and approve September 8, 2015 @ 5:30 PM in the County Auditorium as
the Date, Time and Place of the first public hearing for the adoption of the FY
2016 Annual Budget. For practical purposes, once the tentative Millage rates are
set, they can still be decreased but not increased. The Recommended Budget
line item information can be found on the County's website;
