14.53% Greater than the Rolled -back Rate of 5.7879 Mills
c. Summary of Tentative Budget
d. Citizen Comments
Village Manager, Jeremy Allen, provided details on the budget. He stated there was not a
planned millage rate increase. The overall increase of 15.48% in taxable value was largely
due to home sales and reset of taxable property values. Based on Council feedback the
beautification project, Council Chambers updates, and the Village wide feasibility
assessments were removed from the budget. The largest portion of expenditures was
salaries and wages with property taxes generating the largest revenue. He reviewed the

General Fund, Building Fund, Capital Improvements, Capital Projects, and Special Law

announced the proposed millage rate was 6.6290 mills. He stated the proposed operating
millage rate necessary to fund the budget was 14.53% greater than the rolled -back rate of
5.7879 mills.

• Marcia Nielsen of 94 Beechwood Trail expressed concerns with undergrounding
costs within the Village. She felt water utilities and pipes should be the main priority
and would rather see tax dollars allocated towards those needs as it was more vital
to all residents.

• Council Member D'Ambra expressed the need to have reserve funds providing the
example of the Brightline tracks. Any upgrades to crossings that will be needed in
three years time would be the responsibility of the Village.

volatile economy and inflation concerns for residents. She had previously provided
alternative budget solutions but did not feel anyone was open to a compromise. She
stated that Village staff did a great job preparing the budget and her opinion was not
a reflection on that effort.

Clerk Lori McWilliams.
Present were:
Council Member Laurie Brandon, Vice -Mayor Kyle Stone, Council Member Frank D'Ambra, Mayor
Molly Young, and Council Member Aaron Johnson.
AGENDA ITEMS
1. Budget Hearing:
a. Announce the Proposed Millage Rate is 6.6290 Mills
b. Announce the Proposed Operating Millage Rate Necessary to Fund the Budget is
14.53% Greater than the Rolled -back Rate of 5.7879 Mills
c. Summary of Tentative Budget
d. Citizen Comments
Village Manager, Jeremy Allen, explained the Village of Tequesta was the taxing authority
and announced the proposed millage rate was 6.6290 mills. He stated the proposed
operating millage rate necessary to fund the budget was 14.53% greater than the rolled -
back rate of 5.7879 mills. He reviewed the summary budget was $38,047,264 of which
$16,143,248 goes to the general fund.
Citizen Comments:
Pat Watkins, 167 River Drive, pointed out historically on 9/11 /08 council voted 5-0 to reduce
the millage rate due to economic times to help residents. However, percentage -wise she
was not sure the value was as great as council expected it would be but they wanted to do
what was best for the residents at the time. Everyone on council has the responsibility to
give the residents the best services possible with the most conservative approach possible.
Agenda Item #5.
01 Draft
She referenced comments made at the last budget hearing regarding lowering the millage
rate, however, believed there were a great number of important projects planned and it
would be extremely difficult to cut these projects without causing a ripple effect for decades
to come. She encouraged Council to keep the millage rate as proposed and look to future
years rather than making a cut at the last hour.
Council Comments:
• Council Member D'Ambra noted he stood by his previous comments.
• Council Member Brandon stated they were not raising the millage rate but keeping
it the same as last year. She stated Council went through the entire budget
numerous times and many of the projects in this years budget were infrastructure
projects residents have requested for years. She understood the uncertainty of the
economic times coming, however, council did not have control of outside increases,
but does have control of making sure they were closing the gaps in public safety
and on infrastructure projects to ensure these projects were completed. She noted
she was good with the budget this year and noted council had a many discussions
during budget workshops and noted this was not a three-year rate and was
reconsidered each year.
At the Mayor's request, Attorney Keith Davis read the voting requirements into the record.
He explained adopting a millage rate that was 100% or less of the rolled back rate would
require a simple majority vote. If a millage rate of not more than 110% of the rolled back
rate based on the previous years maximum millage rate adjusted for change in per capita
Florida income (number is not the same number of the rolled back rate in resolution) was
adopted, then a 2/3 vote of the governing body (4 votes) would be required. A rate in
excess of 110% of that same rolled back rate would require a unanimous vote of the
governing body. He explained a state worksheet was completed and the calculations come
from this document and further advised the millage of 6.62090 requires a 2/3 vote of the
body.
Mayor Young stated she was not aware Council fell under this voting requirement until last
Monday was not sure if that would've changed previous Council discussions. She stated
she was disappointed Council did not come up with different solutions to allocate money,
nor was it her intent to cut $723,000 from the budget. Rather, she preferred a reallocation
of funds for acceleration of projects. Based on the information received, she noted she
would support the millage rate.
The public hearing was closed.
