Summary
City Manager Larry Tibbs told the council Moore Haven’s certified taxable value is $67 million and recommended a 2% increase in the operating millage to 4.6725; the council voted 3-2 to set that proposed rate and scheduled the first tentative budget hearing for Sept. 2, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.
City Manager Larry Tibbs told the Moore Haven City Council on July 21 that the certified taxable value provided by the tax collector is $67 million and advised the council to set a proposed operating millage rate of 4.6725 for the fiscal year 2025-26 tentative budget.
"I have attached the DR420 for the City that is provided by the Tax Collectors office. Our taxable value is 67 million," Tibbs said. He noted the city's millage rate last year was 4.45 and added the 4.6725 rate represents a 2% increase. Tibbs announced the first public hearing on the tentative budget will be Sept. 2, 2025, at 5:30 p.m.
Council member Alisha Beck moved to set the proposed millage rate at 4.6725 for the tentative budget hearing and RaShonda Croskey seconded the motion. The council approved the motion by a 3-2 vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call indicating which members voted yes or no.
The setting of a proposed millage starts the statutory public-notice and hearing sequence required for the city’s budget process; final adoption can change the rate after public hearings and budget revisions.
