A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Petsos and seconded by Mr. Bruns to approve
Resolution No. 01 -28; Tentative Millage for Fiscal Year 2001/2002. Ms. Bowers
I responded to Mr. Treverton's question on the rollback rate in that if there is an increase
in property values, to receive the same amount of millage as received in prior years,
the City would charge less per thousand dollars in order to receive the same amount.
She explained further that the City would receive a 6.7 percent increase in revenue.
M ayor Randels clarified that in order for the City to receive the same amount of money
as in the previous year, the City would have a rollback rate, however the choice is to
1 increase it to the same percentage as the previous year. Mr. Bruns added that there is
1 an increase in property values. Ms. Bowers stated that the increase in building and
1 subsequent services necessitated an increase in cost to provide services. Mr. Boucher
1 f stated that the legal advertising would reflect the dollar amount of the increase. Mayor
Randels responded to Mr. Weber that people who live here for the winter duration are
counted in the census in their home state of record. Mayor Randels approximated
about 32 percent of the population are winter residents. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos stated
that services however are provided year round. Mayor Randels related that the electric
1
utility meter is also a good barometer of unit occupancy. Mr. Treverton said that the
1 University of Central Florida also performs a demographic study. Mr. Weber said that
I the 6 or 7 percent increase is based on the increase in population. Mr. Bruns noted that
property values also increased. Mayor Randels summarized that every municipality
chooses how to obtain revenue and the desired level of service. The motion carried 5-0
I with voting as follows: Mr. Bruns, For; Mayor Pro Tem Petsos, For; Mayor Randels,
