Councilors approved several budget and capital items related to fiscal year 2026‑27. Staff recommended keeping the ad valorem millage rate at 1.8195; council adopted the rate and scheduled the public hearing for September 8 at 5:30 p.m. Council also approved Resolution 2026‑11 to set the single‑family non‑ad valorem garbage assessment at $260.52, a 3.75% increase from the prior year.
On surtax reserve compliance, staff presented the town's list of proposed projects for Palm Beach County oversight.
