Bob Thank you. Madam Chair and members of the board, the aggregate millage rate was advertised on the trim notices was 9.3490 MLs, which represents a 7.52% increase from the aggregate rolled back rate of 8.6955 ML. The reason the aggregate millage rate is higher is because the total taxable value increased between last year and this year, generating additional revenue levied for the same millage. Table one in your handout shows the millage rates for the various county levies and a comparison of the recommended millage rates to the rolled back 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 notice each property owner received. At this time, I'd like to give a brief summary of the general fund and transportation trust fund budget, starting stating the millage rates. The percentage change from the rolled back rate and the reason for such change. The
Bob These millage rates, these proposed millage rates for inclusion in the Truth and Millage notice that goes in out in August, and to approve or to set the first public hearing for September 6th at 515 and Date City.
Starkey All in favor? Aye. Aye. Is there a motion to adopt a millage rate of 0.0557 MLs for the 2020 A fire rescue bond? Move approval. All in favor? Aye. Is there a motion to adopt a millage rate of 0.0126 MILLs for the 2019 C Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Bond?
Starkey Okay. That's not healthy to sit so long. Uh in accordance with Florida statute twenty zero zero point zero six five, the first issue to be discussed is the recommended millage rates and the percentage changes from the rolled back rates.
Bob millage rate for the general fund is 7.6076 MLs, which represents a 10.21% increase from the rolled back rate of 6.9026 MLs. The millage rate is the same as last year's millage rate. This morning the County Commission received a presentation outlining the amendments to the final budget. These changes will have no effect on the final millage rate. The county realized a 16.7% increase in taxable assessed values over the past year. Compared to the current fiscal year, the general fund expenditure budget represents an increase of $66.8 million. The main factors for this increase include funding the sheriff's full budget request, including 10 additional deputies, fully funding rescue units for fire stations, for fire rescue stations three and nine. Additional rescue units for fire rescue stations 23 and 26, additional peak hour rescue units, and a wage increase for board and constitutional officer employees. Prior action by the Florida Legislature eliminated the requirement for a mandatory transportation ad valorem
Bob Very good. I will now provide a summary of the eight 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 project, the fire rescue projects, the parks and recreation projects, and the libraries projects. The eight individual millage rates are listed on Table One in your handout. Rather than read this chart into the record, we have provided copies to each Commissioner, Board Records, and members of the audience. The total of the eight voter approved debt service millage rates is zero point two eight zero seven mills. This is an increase of zero point zero seven zero nine mills. Over the twenty twenty-two actual millage rates of zero point two zero nine eight mills. An additional tranche of the general obligation bonds was completed this year for the parks and recreation budget. and will be levied for the first time during this budget cycle. I would ask the board to accept public comment and then vote on each debt service millage rate. There is no vote requirement for these milletrates, so a simple majority or three votes is all that's needed.
Several speakers Starkey: All right. Is there a motion to adopt the millage rate for the general fund of 7.6076?
Bob tax. No transportation millage was levied last year, and we propose no millage be assessed this year for the transportation trust. I would ask that the board accept public comment and then vote on the general fund and transportation trust millage rates and associated budgets. The minimum vote required to levy the general fund millage rate is a simple majority or three votes according to the minimum I'm sorry according to the maximum millage rate calculation.
Starkey Does anyone wish to speak to the board regarding any of the eight bond millage rates? Is there a motion to adopt a millage rate of zero point zero three three six mills for the two zero? Twenty nineteen A jail facility bond. Move, approval. Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Is there a motion to adopt a millage rate of zero point one one nine four mills? for the twenty twenty one B jail facility bond. No problem. Second. All in favor? Aye. Is there a motion to adopt a millage rate of 0.0268 MLs for the 2019 B fire rescue bond?
Several speakers Unidentified A: list. Um Where are you? We are looking for a motion and approval to approve the proposed millage rate and set the first public hearing.
Starkey for the case. I gotta switch over. Sounded familiar. Did I do the 2021 A Libraries Blog? Okay. Is there a motion to adopt a millage rate of 0.0100 MLs for the 2021 A Libraries Blog?
Bob Aye. Thank you. Madam Chair and members of the board, the actions you have taken here today has set the aggregate millage at 9.3490 MLs, which reflects an increase of 7.52% above the rollback rate. I would now like to read the resolution adopting the millage rates by title only. A resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County, Florida, adopting the final levying of ad valorem taxes for Pasco County. for fiscal year twenty twenty three, providing for an effective date.
