SET PROPOSED MILLAGE RATE
City Manager Gleason said this Special Session was called because the TRIM timetable
requires local governments to advise the Property Appraiser of the Fiscal Year 2004 proposed
millage rate by August 4, 2003, and this Commission's next regular session is August 5. He
announced the property value increase over last year was $77,314,381 and that one mil
generates $1,228.651. The current millage rate of 4.5789 per $1,000 would produce
$5,625,870 in revenue, which is an increase of $354,015 over current year ad valorem
revenue. The rolled back rate is 4.4794 per $1,000 of taxable value and would generate
$5,503,620 in revenue. He recommended continuing the current millage rate of 4.5789 for
Fiscal Year 2004. He added the budget is balanced and can be submitted the first week in
August.
Commissioner Howell. seconded bv Commissioner Parker. moved to set the DroDosed
millalle rate for fiscal year 2003-2004 at 4.5789 mills per $1.000 as recommended bv staff.
