Several speakers All right. So Chairman Members of the Board of the aggregate millage rate I've advertised on the trim notice was ten point two six four five MILs, which represents a thirteen point three four percent increase from the aggregate rollback rate of nine point two one nine two MLs. The reason for the aggregate millage rate The reason the aggregate millage rate is higher is because the total taxable value increased between last year and this year, generating additional revenue levy for the same millage rate. 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. Tonight I would like to ask the commissioner. To adopt the tentative millage rates and total budget. The millage rates adopted tonight are the maximum allowed by Florida law without mailing each property owner an additional notice. The board can reduce the millage rates tonight through the final hearing on September 17th. However, the millage rate cannot be increased. Later in the meeting, should the Commission wish to modify the budget, we ask that staff be directed to return on September
Eric Breitenbach Evening Commissioners. Eric Breitenbach, Assistant County Administrator for Internal Services. Chairman, members of the board, the aggregate millage rate as advertised on the trim notices was 10.2645 MILS, which represents an eleven point three four percent increase from the aggregate rolled back rate of nine point two one nine two MILs. 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 rate. 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 in the prior year adopted millage millage rates.

Several speakers Oakley: is the recommended millage millage rate. First issue to be discussed would be the recommended millage rate and the uh percentage of changes from the rollback rate. Ms. Burrell.
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. The nine 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 nine voter-approved debt service millage rates is 0.2401 MILS. This is a decrease of 0.0316 MILS from the 2024 actual millage rates of 0.2717 ML. I ask the board to accept public comment and then vote on each debt service millitrate. There is no vote requirement for these millages, so a simple majority or three votes is needed.
Several speakers Oakley: Okay. In accordance with the Florida statute. Of two zero zero. Point zero six five. The first issue to be discussed is the recommended millage rates and the percentage changes in the rollback rates.
Several speakers Mike Carballa: if we make a reduction in the paving millage.
Oakley So the millage rate for the general fund of 7.5700 MILS County Commission motion. Is there a motion to adopt the tentative millage rate for the transportation trust fund of zero point zero zero zero zero MILS? Happy to make that motion, Chairman Mariano.
Eric Breitenbach received. The only change from the proposed budget set in July to the tentative budget set during the first public hearing is that the Board reduced the Parks Capital Maintenance MSTU from 0.1712 mils to 0.1. zero point zero zero zero zero mills. I'd like to give a brief summary of the 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 7.4292 MILLs, which is a 5.08 percent increase from the rolled back rate of 7.0703. The millage rate is a reduction from last year's millage rate and is a result of the board's direction from this morning's board meeting. The County realized a 14.1% increase in taxable assessed values over the past year. Compared to the current year, the general fund expenditure budget represents an increase of $87 million. The main factors for this include fully funding the Sheriff's Budget Request, including 20 additional deputies. Implementing phase one of the D shift for rescue personnel. Operational expenditures for the expanded detention center,
Mike Carballa to those roads and and makes visible meaningful progress, I think, for our for our citizens. So I guess if if the board I guess what I would like for the board to perhaps have some other discussion is to Give me an idea of where you want to land with that millage rate for the paving MSTU.
Several speakers Unidentified A: Aye.
Several speakers Oakley: All right, is there a motion by the board to adopt a millage rate of zero point five one eight four mils for the roads rehabilitation MSTU? And it takes five votes.
