Item 1

5:30 p.m. Public Hearing --
Adoption of Tentative Millage Rates & Budget for FY 2016 Florida Statutes 129.03 and 200.065 require the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to adopt its millage rates and budget for the next Fiscal Year (FY) at a Public Hearing. That hearing must be held after 5:00 PM if scheduled on a day other than Saturday. The September 8th, 5:30 PM hearing date has been noticed, as required, in the recent mailing of Notices of Proposed Property Taxes
(TRIM) by the County’s Property Appraise
r. Florida Statutes prescribe a specific
order for the consideration of items at the Public Hearing. The first substantive issue
of discussion must be the percentage increase in the County’s aggregate millage rate
over the Rolled-back Rate. The Rolled-back Rate is defined as the aggregate millage
rate that would generate the same level of prior year tax revenues less certain defined
allowances (such as new construction). The general public shall be allowed to speak
and to ask questions prior to adoption of any measures by the BCC. The BCC shall
adopt by resolution its tentative millage rates prior to adopting its tentative budget
for FY 2016. The BCC will also need to establish a date, time and place of a Public
Hearing for its final millage and budget adoption for FY 2016. It is recommended
that the BCC establish Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 5:30 PM in the County
Auditorium for its Final Hearing.
