Summary The City of Alachua Commission must hold a Public Hearing on the City's Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Tentative Millage Rate and Tentative 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 24, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. in this same location, Alachua City Hall Commission Chambers.
During the month of August 2018, the City Manager presented to the City Commission the proposed budgets by major fund type. The tentative budgets presented totaled $41,904,471. The FY 2018-2019 Tentative Budget is $8,485,141 less than the FY 2017-2018 Amended Budget of $50,389,612.
