    General Fund and Transportation Trust millage rates

    Jack Mariano Chairman, members of the board, the aggregate millage rate being proposed is 9.8433 MLs, which is lower than the aggregate millage rate sent out on trim notices and represents a 1.11%. Increase from the aggregate rolledback rate of 9.7350 MLs. The reason the aggregate millage rate is higher than the rolledback rate is because the total taxable evaluate total taxable value increased between last year and this year. Table one in your handout shows the millage rates for the various county levies and a comparison of the recommended millage rates to the rolledback rates and the prior year adopted millage rates. Rather than read this chart into the record, we have provided copies to each commissioner, board records, and members of the audience. At the first public hearing on the budget, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a budget based upon the millage rates used in the trim notices each property owner received.

    General Fund and Transportation Trust millage rates

    Jack Mariano MLs. I'd like to give a summary of the resulting General Fund and Transportation Trust fund budgets, stating the millage rates, the percentage change from the rolledback rate, and the reasons for such a change. The millage rate for the general fund is 7.4042 MILLs, which is a 3.57% increase from the rolled back rate of 7.1489. This millage rate is a 0.250 mil reduction from last year's millage rate. The county realized an 11.2 percent increase in taxable assessed values over the past year. The increase in property tax values based on the recommended millage rate of 7.4042 mills and the taxable assessed value increase results in an additional $42.1 million in property tax revenue. The additional revenue will in part be used to increase the funding for parks capital maintenance, renovate the Hudson Library, provide operational resources for the expanded detention center, and provide wage increases for all employees. Prior action by the Florida legislator eliminated the requirement

    Nine voter-approved debt service millage rates

    Jack Mariano I will now provide a summary of the nine voter-approved debt service millage rates. These millage rates are levied to repay the debt service for the general obligation bonds to include two tranches each for the jail projects, the parks and recreation projects, and the libraries projects, as well as three tranches for the fire rescue project.

    Roads rehabilitation MSTU 0.4052 mills

    Jack Mariano The Roads Rehabilitation MSTU Fund has a recommended tax levy of 0.4052 MLs. This is the first year that this millage is proposed to be levied, so there is no calculated rolled back rate. This millage rate will generate $19.4 million in property tax revenue to maintain the county's roadway network. I would ask the board to accept public comment and then vote on the roads rehabilitation MSTU millage rate in a Associated budget. Since this is the first time this millage rate will be levied, state statutes indicate that a unanimous vote is required to levy any millage rate.

    Jack Mariano Yeah, one of the things I was concerned about with the cities and and the contributions of what happens if that we're gonna do all the contribution for ninety-one percent of the population covering all the fields. I don't think it's right. I think they should contribute. But one comforting thing I got from let's say the Port Ritchie and uh New Port Richey, their C RAs if we reduce the millage down and we're using uh this MSTU instead They're not getting revenue they would have got. That they're gonna go dump into the C R A and it comes into this. So that was a I was trying to think of that Mike as we were talking the other day. I couldn't remember what that argument was, it just came to me a little while ago. But that's the ar that's the one piece where I got even if the cities don't contribute in Um It's gonna still help us in a way where not as much is gonna go to the C R A.

No millage was levied last year. No mills were adopted during the first public hearing for the Parks Capital Maintenance MSTU fund.
