Presenter - Doug Timms, Director, Office of Management & Budget
Public Hearing *
5:30 p.m. Public Hearing -- St.
Johns County Board of County
Commissioners Adoption of Final
Millage Rates & Budget for FY 2016
. Florida
Statutes 129.03 and 200.065 require the Boar
d 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 24th, 5:30 PM hearing date has been advertised in the St. Augustine Record.
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 final millage rates prior
to adopting its final
budget for FY 2016.
