Board adopts tentative $193.9 million fiscal 2025 budget
Summary
Okeechobee County commissioners approved a tentative fiscal year 2025 budget of $193,861,074, based on the 7.9-mill rate. The board approved Resolution 2024-51 and directed staff to file the tentative budget as a public record with the clerk.
The Okeechobee County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a tentative fiscal year 2025 budget totaling $193,861,074, approving Resolution 2024-51. The budget director told the board the tentative budget is based on the 7.9-mill rate the board approved earlier in the meeting.
“Staff is recommending the board to adopt resolution 20 20 four-fifty 1 adopting a tentative budget for fiscal year 25 in the amount of $193,861,074 providing that a copy of said budget shall be filed in the office of Okeechobee Clerk Of Circuit Court as a public record,” the budget director said, summarizing the recommendation to adopt the tentative budget and the filing requirement.
Commissioners moved and seconded the motion to adopt the tentative budget; the chair called for a voice vote and announced the motion carried unanimously. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally of votes.
Why it matters: the tentative budget sets the county’s spending plan and revenue assumptions for fiscal 2025; it will be available as a public record with the clerk’s office and can be adjusted before final adoption at the scheduled hearing.
