Recommendation Concerning the Fiscal Year 2020/2021 Certification of Taxable Value - Sharon Harrell, Interim Budget Manager, Management and Budget Services

That the Board take the following action concerning the certification of millage rates and the scheduling of public hearings for the Fiscal Year 2020/2021 Budget:

A. Certify the millage rates for Fiscal Year 2020/2021 as follows:

County-wide Operating - 6.6165
Law Enforcement/Sheriff’s 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, 2020.

The millage rates for the County-wide Operating, Sheriff’s MSTU, and the Library MSTU are unchanged from the previous Fiscal Year 2019/2020;

B. Certify the proposed millage rates at 4.32% above the aggregate rolled back rate;

C. Affirm the Board’s intent to maintain the current revenue allocation rate at the 75.0% increment within the Community Redevelopment Agency Tax Increment Financing (CRA TIF) Districts for Fiscal Year 2020/2021;

Schedule a Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2020/2021 Budget for September 8, 2020, at 5:31 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;

Schedule a Public Hearing to adopt the Fiscal Year 2020/2021 non-ad valorem special assessment roll at 5:32 p.m., on September 8, 2020, 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

F. Schedule a Public Hearing to adopt the Fiscal Year 2020/2021 County-wide Budget at 5:31 p.m. on September 22, 2020, 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.

Maintain the current revenue allocation rate at the 75.0% increment within the Community Redevelopment Agency Tax Increment Financing (CRA TIF) Districts for Fiscal Year 2020/2021.
