MINUTES OF THE OCOEE BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS SPECIAL SESSION
BUDGET HEARING HELD SEPTEMBER 4, 1990
"'-'
The special session to adopt the tentative millage rate and
tentative budget for the fiscal year 1990-91 was called to order
at 7:00 p.m. in the commission chambers. The roll was called and
a quorum declared present.
PRESENT: Mayor Dabbs, Commissioners Combs, Foster, Johnson, and
Woodson. Also present were City Manager Shapiro, Assistant City
Attorney Woodson, Finance Director Poston, Public Works Director
Brenner, City Clerk Grafton.
ABSENT: None
PUBLIC HEARING - BUDGET
Mayor Dabbs announced that this is a public hearing on the
tentative budget and proposed millage rate for the City of Ocoee.
Notice of this hearing was contained in the Notice of Proposed
Property Taxes mailed by the Property Appraiser. The City
Commission has previously set a proposed millage rate of 4.00
mills which represents a 15.94% increase in millage over the
rolled-back rate of 3.45 mills.
........
City Manager Shapiro explained briefly that the tentative 15.94%
percentage increase in millage over the rolled-back rate necessary
to fund the budget and the specific purposes for which ad valorem
tax revenues are being increased are as follows:
1) the 4% cost of living increase in salary to the employees
based on a 4.7% Department of Labor figure nationally and 4.2%
figure in the South;
2) the 15% to 18% average increase on health insurance cost even
after some of the benefits were reduced;
3) major increase in electric and gas costs;
4) $80,000 in budget for upgrading the pension plan.
There were no comments by citizens at this time.
At Mayor Dabbs' request to speak to the Maguire House issue at
this time, City Manager Shapiro advised that the Historical
Commission sent in a grant request for $197,000 and ranked high.
If successful, their need for funds will change from the amount
originally budgeted for maintenance to instead matching funds for
some of the grant, and so the maintenance dollars had been put
into the contingency fund and funds for either in-kind or
maintenance will be transferred out as needed.

Comments by Commissioners
Commissioner Johnson said that he would prefer to have dollars in
the fund for the Withers-Maguire House rather than a nebulous
figure and Commissioner Foster said that he certainly wanted the
restoration of the house to be in the forefront of the needs in
regard to the use of the contigency funds. Mrs. Mary Ann
Halvorson, representing the Historical Society, said that the

$10,000 placed in the budget originally was included in the grant
request and she was concerned that having it removed might have an
effect on the awarding of the grant. City Manager Shapiro
explained that City Building Official Flippen had given an
estimate of the cost of repair/restoration that was some higher
than the Historical Commission estimate included in the grant
request and so he expected the cost of the project to be another
$30,000-$40,000, but that he intended to leave the money in the
contingency fund until the amount was certain.
Motions by Commissioners for amendments to the adopted tentative
budget
After further discussion regarding the funds already alloted
and/or used in this years' budget, Commissioner Combs, seconded by
Commissioner Foster, moved to amend the tentative budget of the
City of Ocoee distributed along with the budget message of the
City Manager dated August 1, 1990, in the following manner: place
$10,000 from contingency fund into the Withers-Maguire House
fund. Motion carried with unanimous vote in favor.
'-'
Millage Rate Set
Mayor Dabbs announced that the proposed millage rate is 4.00 mills
which represents a 15.94% increase in millage over the rolled-back
rate of 3.45 mills and as there have been no changes in the total
of the budget then it will not be necessary to recompute the
millage necessary to provide for the budget.
Mr. Shapiro explained that the roll back rate is the millage
necessary to gain the same number of dollars as last year. The
actual millage rate for each property holder has not changed from
last year to this year, nor is there any increase in sanitation
rate or sewer rate. There was a small increase in the water rate
last year. The budget has been increased only on the basis of
growth, by way of building permit fees and impact fees.
Tentative Millage Rate of 4 Mills Set for Fiscal Year 90-91
Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commission Combs, moved to adopt
a tentative millage rate of 4 mills for fiscal year beginning
October 1, 1990 and ending September 30, 1991. Comments from the
public were called for and Mr. R. P. Mohnacky, 1820 prairie Lake
Blvd., commented that, as he apparently arrived too late to speak
to the other items he wished to address, he would pass. No other
citizen wished to speak and the Commissioners were asked for any
further comment. The question was called and motion carried with
unanimous vote in favor.

Tentative Budget Adopted
Commissioner Combs, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved that
the City Commission adopt the tentative budget of the City of
Ocoee distributed along with the budget message of the City
Manager dated August 1, 1990, as amended (moving $10,000 from the
contingency fund to the Withers-Maguire House fund), such
tentative budget being for the fiscal year beginning October 1,
1990 and ending September 30, 1991. As there were no further
comments from either the public or the Commissioners, the vote on
the motion was called. Motion carried with unanimous vote in
favor.
'-"
Public Hearing to Adopt Final Millage Rate and Final Budget.
Commissioner Woodson, seconded by Commissioner Foster, moved that
a public hearing to consider the final millage rate and final
budget be scheduled for September 12, 1990 at 7:30 p.m. at a
Special Meeting of the Ocoee City Commission to be held at the

that all other action necessary to comply with the requirements of
Section 200.065, Florida Statutes, be undertaken. Motion carried
with unanimous vote in favor.

the final millage rate and budget will be held September 12, 1990
