Summary The City of Alachua Commission must hold a Public Hearing on the City's Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Proposed Millage Rate and Proposed Budget as required by Florida Statutes, Chapters 129 and 200 and as advertised in the Truth-In-Millage (TRIM) Notices distributed by the Alachua County Property Appraiser's Office.
This evening we will take a number of actions related to the adoption of the millage rate and proposed budgets. The Final Public Hearing on these matters will be held on Monday, September 26, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. in this same location, Alachua City Hall Commission Chambers.
The General Fund rolled back rate is 5.8558 mills with the proposed tentative millage being 5.9900 mills. The proposed tentative millage rate is more than the rolled back rate by 2.29%.
In August 2016, the City Manager presented to the City Commission proposed budgets by major fund type. This budget was built based on a rate of 5.9900 mills. The FY 2016-2017 Proposed Budget, inclusive of any changes presented, totals $39,570,809 which is a $15,841,329 decrease from the FY 2016 Amended Budget.
In order to enact the proposed tentative millage rate, a majority vote must be passed by the full Commission at the final public hearing on the budget. By adopting these resolutions tonight, the Commission authorizes and directs the City Manager to prepare and publish all necessary and required notices prior to the hearing established herein, and to provide copies of these resolutions to all parties as may be required by applicable law.
