Pompano Beach commission adopts tentative FY2026 budget and tentatively reduces operating millage
Summary
The commission adopted a tentative FY2026 budget totaling $431,373,685 and applied dais amendments to reduce the operating millage by 0.5% (an estimated $575,087 in general fund reductions). Staff presented the FY2026 all‑funds revenue estimate of $463.5 million and options for reductions; the commission approved the tentative resolutions to meet the TRIM/notice deadlines.
Joshua Waters, the city’s budget director, opened the TRIM Act hearing and presented the FY2026 recommended budget, saying the city estimates $463,500,000 in revenues across all funds and that the general fund totals roughly $244,100,000. "We're here this evening to hold the 1st of 2, hearings required under the state's Truth in Millage Act, the TRIM Act," Waters said as he outlined the timeline and required actions.
Waters described revenue sources and pressures (nearly $20 million in nondiscretionary items) and presented options to lower the operating millage by 0.5%, which staff said would translate to about $575,087 in general fund reductions. The commission moved to adopt the budget with the modifications presented on the dais and approved the tentative annual budget resolution (totaling $431,373,685) by roll call; the item will be finalized at the second budget hearing scheduled for next Monday.
