Summary
At its Sept. 17 meeting the Satellite Beach City Council approved Ordinance 12‑72, setting an operating millage rate of 7.9, and Ordinance 12‑73, adopting the FY2025‑26 annual budget. Both measures passed on second reading after no public comment and no changes from first reading.
The Satellite Beach City Council on Sept. 17 approved the city’s final operating millage rate of 7.9 mills and adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 annual budget.
Both measures were considered on second reading. Staff told the council there were no changes from the first readings; the council opened public hearings on each item and heard no comments before voting. Mayor Osterholm and the council approved the operating millage and the budget in separate roll-call votes.
Why it matters: the operating millage and the annual budget set the city’s property‑tax rate and authorize city spending for the coming fiscal year.

Staff stated both measures were unchanged from their first readings. During the hearings no resident rose to speak on either ordinance.
"There were no changes from the first reading," a staff member said when the council opened each second reading public hearing.
