Subject: Set Proposed Tentative Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Budget
Background Summary:
The TRIM act requires local governing bodies to set a proposed tentative millage rate annually during the
month of July. The property appraiser is then notified of the rate and uses it to advise taxpayers of their
proposed tax levies for the next year. The rate can be lowered during the budget hearings in September
and has historically been done so by the City.
Issue:
State Statutes establish levels of approval by the governing body in setting the millage rate. The statutes
provide for a maximum millage that can be levied by the governing body with a majority vote. This maximum
millage rate for the upcoming fiscal year, 7.3615, is an increase over the current year millage (5.8291). The
rolled back rate for 2017/2018 is 5.4357. This rate is lower than the current year rate. The City's overall
assessed value increased to $231,579,458. This is an increase of $1,309,403 at the current millage rate of
5.8291.
The Commission can set the proposed millage for FY2017/2018 up to 8.0977 with a super majority vote by the
Commission. This millage rate would generate $18,175,907 in ad valorem revenues. A millage rate higher
than the 8.0977 would require a unanimous vote by the Commission.
Recommendations
Staff recommends the commission set the proposed tentative millage at 6.5000 mils. This is a tentative rate
and will allow the commission room to adjust during review and discussion of the proposed budget. The
commission can set the proposed rate in September at or below this rate. Should the commission wish to set
the proposed tentative millage rate higher than 7.3615 it can do so, however it would require a super majority
vote tonight.
Attachments:
Attached to this staff report is a chart of the revenue amounts generated at the various millage levels compared
to the budgeted amount for this fiscal year.
Financial Impact:
This will provide the rate to determine ad valorem proceeds to include as revenue in the FY 2017/2018 budget
