Miami Gardens keeps millage rate flat for 13th consecutive year; council schedules hearings
Summary
City Manager recommended keeping the operating millage at 6.9363 and a reduced debt-service millage of 0.4331, for a combined rate of 7.3694. The council voted unanimously to adopt the proposed rate and set public hearings on the tentative budget.
The City Council of Miami Gardens on Wednesday adopted a proposed millage rate for fiscal year 2025–26 that keeps the operating rate at 6.9363 mills and sets the debt-service millage at 0.4331 mills, for a combined rate of 7.3694 mills. City Manager staff presented the recommended rates after a series of budget workshops.
City Manager reported the debt-service millage declined from 0.4720 the prior year, which reduced the combined rate. Council members praised the administration for maintaining the operating millage for the 13th consecutive year; one council member called it evidence of fiscal health.
The council voted unanimously to adopt the proposed rate and to set the dates for public hearings on the tentative budget and millage. The adopted proposed figures will be published and considered at the scheduled public hearings before any final adoption.
Nut graf: Keeping the operating millage unchanged for a 13th straight year was presented by the administration as a sign of stable financial management, while a lower debt-service rate slightly reduced the city’s combined levy for the coming fiscal year.
Ending: The council set public hearings to consider the tentative budget and final millage rate as required under state law.
