Commission to move budget hearing date; staff to submit proposed millage under TRIM rules
Summary
Staff said the city must avoid conflicting budget hearings with the county and school board and recommended moving the September budget meeting to Wednesday, Sept. 10; staff also said the proposed millage must be advertised under TRIM with an advertised rollback rate of 6.1754 and that submission is planned around Aug. 1.
City staff explained that state and local rules prevent the city from holding its budget hearing on the same day as the county commission or the school board. As a result, staff recommended moving the city’s budget hearing from Monday, Sept. 8 to Wednesday, Sept. 10 to avoid schedule conflicts. Staff said the change is required by city ordinances and that the TRIM (Truth in Millage) process requires the city to advertise the proposed millage as a tax increase unless the city adopts the rollback rate. Staff stated the rollback rate for the year would be 6.1754 and that staff intends to submit the proposed millage around Aug. 1 and advertise by the Aug. 4 deadline. Commissioners had no further questions in the excerpt provided. No formal vote on the date change or millage adoption is recorded in the transcript excerpt.
