Redington Shores sets tentative millage cap, adopts FY 2024-25 budget
Summary
At a Sept. 4 special meeting the Redington Shores Board of Commissioners approved a tentative millage rate not to exceed 1.6896 and adopted the town’s FY 2024-25 budget, including phased funding for street-light and sidewalk projects; the vote was 5-0.
Mayor Lisa Hendrickson opened a Sept. 4 special first budget hearing of the Town of Redington Shores Board of Commissioners and read Resolution 10-2024, which adopted a tentative millage rate not to exceed 1.6896 for fiscal year 2024-25. Town Administrator Mike McGlothlin summarized the budget package, and the board approved the millage resolution by a 5-0 vote.
The board then introduced and adopted Resolution 11-2024 to approve the town’s FY 2024-25 annual budget. Administrator McGlothlin told the board staff had presented the proposed budget at the Aug. 21 meeting and pointed to several highlights in the document: the street-light project has been phased over two years at $83,250 per year; the street and sidewalk project is listed at $83,250; and the Capital Improvement Plan was updated to reflect the split. The budget document was also updated to include the town’s new logo. Commissioner Tom Kapper moved to approve RES 11-2024; Commissioner Erin Schoos seconded. There was no public comment, and the board voted 5-0 to adopt the tentative budget.
Commissioner CJ Hoyt asked Administrator McGlothlin to clarify the sidewalks and roads project, noting the town will need to phase remaining roads and sidewalks and that Public Works must evaluate needs. Hoyt said he was concerned the budgeted funds may not be sufficient to cover all needed repairs. The discussion did not change the adopted budget; no amendment to funding was made during the hearing.
Mayor Hendrickson closed the public hearing. The board noted the second and final budget public hearing is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.; other upcoming meetings include a regular meeting on Sept. 11, 2024, and a workshop on Sept. 25, 2024. The special meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
