Subject: Approval of Correction on Workshop Date for FY 2024/2025 Budget Process.
(Finance Director Roberts)
Background Summary:
Workshops are held during August for staff and the commission to discuss the proposed budget for the
upcoming fiscal year. Public hearings are required by the TRIM Act in September, serving as a mechanism to
notify the citizens of the proposed budget and allow the opportunity for their comments.
At the meeting of July 16, 2024, the Commission approved the workshop and hearing dates for the
FY2024/2025 budget process. However, due to a typographical error, the first workshop was incorrectly listed
as August 8, 2024. The correct date is August 12, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.
Issue:
The TRIM Act has specific time frames for scheduling and holding the required hearings. The hearing dates
cannot conflict with Orange County (9/05 and 9/19) or Orange County School Board (9/10) hearing dates.
Recommendations: Potential dates for the budget workshops and hearings are restrictive due to the timing
of the holiday and vacation schedules. Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
approve the following dates for the August budget workshops:
August 12th and 28th
Attachments:
None
Financial Impacts:
Decisions resulting from the workshops and hearings will establish the operating budget for fiscal year
2024/2025.
