Recommendation Concerning the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Certification of Taxable Value - Amy Lovoy, Management and Budget Services Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning the certification of millage rates and the scheduling of Public Hearings for the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Budget:

A. Certify the millage rates for Fiscal Year 2013/2014, as follows:
County-wide Operating – 6.6165
Law Enforcement MSTU (Municipal Services Taxing Unit) – .685
Library MSTU – .359

Once the millage rates listed above have been certified, the millage rate cannot be increased without re-first class noticing the public, the millage rates must be certified by August 4, 2013.

The millage rate for the Sheriff’s MSTU is unchanged; the millage rate for the Library MSTU was broken out from the County-wide millage rate and will be used for Library services in Fiscal Year 2013/2014;

B. Certify the proposed millage rates at .12% below the aggregate rolled back rate;

C. Affirm the Boards intent to maintain the current revenue allocation at the 34.3% increment in the Community Redevelopment Agency Tax Increment Financing (CRA TIF) Districts for Fiscal Year 2013/2014;

D. Schedule a Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Budget for September 10, 2013, at 5:01 p.m., to be held in the Chambers of the Board of County Commissioners of Escambia County, Florida, located on the first floor of the Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building, 221 Palafox Place, Pensacola, Florida; and

E. Schedule a Public Hearing to adopt the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 non-ad valorem special assessment roll at 5:02 p.m., on September 10, 2013, to be held in the Chambers of the Board of County Commissioners of Escambia County, Florida, located on the first floor of the Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building, 221 Palafox Place, Pensacola, Florida.

BACKGROUND:

Florida Statues 200.065 requires Counties to certify to the Property Appraiser the proposed millage rate, roll back rate and the date, time and place of the first public hearing to adopt the budget. The Property Appraiser will then use this data to mail to all affected property owners in the County their estimated property taxes for the coming year and notify them of the public hearing to adopt the budget and these tax rates.
