Votes at a glance: Clewiston commission approves three budget-related resolutions
Summary
At the Sept. 10 hearing the commission approved three resolutions—tentative millage (2026-43), tentative budget (2026-44) and fire protection assessment (2026-45)—each adopted by motion, second and voice vote; staff will provide follow-up detail at the Sept. 24 hearing.
The City Commission took three formal actions during the Sept. 10 budget hearing:
1) Resolution 2026-43: Adopt tentative millage rate of 6.0752 mills for FY 2026–27. Motion made, seconded and adopted by voice vote. Chair announced "Motion carries."
2) Resolution 2026-44: Approve tentative budget for FY 2026–27 (total $56,759,353, including enterprise funds). Motion made and adopted by voice vote; staff said the budget reflects about a $2,000,000 increase from last year and reduced reliance on reserves.
3) Resolution 2026-45: Adopt final fire protection assessment establishing new per-class assessment rates as read into the record by the fire chief; motion made and adopted by voice vote. Commissioners requested additional detail and staff follow-up on consultant assumptions and potential interlocal reimbursement agreements.
All three motions were approved by voice vote; the transcript records each motion, second and the chair's announcement that motions carried but does not provide a roll-call tally in the record.
