The City commission has previously approved a tentative millage rate of 4.0 mills which represents a .1427% increase in millage over the rolled-back rate of 3.9943 mills. City Kanager Shapiro announced that the .1427 percentage increase over the rolled-back rate of 3.9943 mills was needed to fund the following increases: 1) proposed 4% cost-of-living increase; 2) increase of 3 firemen/3 police positions; 3) increase in the cost of health insurance. ~ Kayor Dabbs asked for coaaents by Citizens, however, no one wished to speak at this time. Co..ents by Coaaissioners. Co..issioner Woodson, referring to the garage, said he did not see how it would save money to send jobs out instead of staffing for the work needed and he listed the minor things the mechanics do routinely that the City would be charged for. City Kanager Shapiro explained that the one person kept on staff in that department would take care of hydraulics and would give guidance for the placement of vehicles for repairs. Co..issioner Coabs asked about the Windermere contract for vehicle repair. Kr. Shapiro advised that was a very small amount and some of that was being sent out anyway. Coaaissioner Woodson listed the cost of tire repair for different sized tires. Kr. Shapiro suggested that, as this budget does not include a second mechanic, Commission could give this method six months and change it if it does not work. Coaaissioner Woodson first proposed a tentative amendment to include keeping the garage and budgeting a second mechanic, but then said he would go along with the budget "as is" for six months and reevaluate after seeing a full report at that time. City Attorney Rosenthal announced the proposed millage rate is 4.0 mills which represents a .1427% increase in millage over the rolled-back rate of 3.9943 mills, and that this is the proposed percentage increase in property taxes. ~ ~ Page 2 Ocoee City Coaaission Special Session - Budget Septeaber 15, 1992 Coaaissioner Johnson, seconded by Coaaissioner Coabs, moved to approve Resolution No. 92-15, setting a final millage rate of 4.0 mills for Fiscal Year 1992-1993.
