1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,000 Okay, it's going to go ahead and reconvene the meeting at 501. We've got a series of public hearings before we get to that. We're going to hear from the manager with her budget message. 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Ms. Leaverman, you had Mr. Crossby in a afternoon full of budget talks, so you got a good fill in today. And welcome back tonight, so you are recognized. 3 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000 Thank you, Mr. Chair, commissioners. 4 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Hello, Mr. Chairman, you're a lecturer, kind of manager. And we are about to turn over officially to you, the budget book. We gave it to you last week, so you've had a little bit of time to preview that. 5 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:49,000 We always know that you so much enjoy your commission summer break with a large, very large volume. 6 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000 I always send us away. 7 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000 We're all reading the assignments. 8 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000 Any assignments? Yeah. 9 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000 With number. 10 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Yes, to read. 11 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000 So as required by Florida law, I submit to you the balanced fiscal year 27, tent of budget. 12 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:18,000 It reflects a lateral account commitment to fiscal responsibility, essential public services, and careful stewardship of taxpayer resources. 13 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:27,000 Each year I give the budget a theme, and this year's theme for the budget is strong foundations uncertain horizon. 14 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000 It reflects the county's financial strength today and the uncertain environment in which this budget was developed. 15 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000 This budget continues to build on our strong foundations. 16 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000 I know you had the act for today, so you got to hear some of that. 17 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:56,000 The recommended general fund property tax millerate is the rollback rate of 7.2107 mills, which is reduced from 7.6 mills. 18 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:08,000 This continues a tenure pattern of general fund, millage reductions and remarks, the third rollback rate in that period. 19 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:20,000 This recommendation reflects the discipline that has helped the county enter fiscal year 27, with sound finances, operational stability, and the flexibility to protect poor services. 20 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:31,000 For the current law enforcement municipal services taxing unit, the MSTO, I recommend maintaining the property tax millerate of 3.5678 mills. 21 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:41,000 This recommendation reflects the importance of maintaining a strong public safety system by continuing to support the operational needs of law enforcement. 22 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:49,000 The fiscal year 27108 budget maintains supports for this and other essential services residents depend on every day. 23 00:02:49,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Public safety and transportation infrastructure remain the county's largest investments, with more than $343 million dedicated to these critical services. 24 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:12,000 The budget also supports housing, social services, environmental protection, land conservation parks, recreation, economic development, and programs that strengthen our quality of life. 25 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Although property tax revenues represent approximately 23% of the county's total budget, they provide much of the reoccurring revenue that supports the general fund. 26 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:33,000 The general fund is the primary lawfully available funding source for many of the county's legal obligations and for many of the services expected by our residents. 27 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,000 As a result, changes to recurring general fund revenues cannot be measured simply as a percentage of the overall budget. 28 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,000 They directly affect the county's ability to fund those obligations and maintain those services. 29 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:59,000 While the county's financial foundation remains strong, the uncertain horizon before us is shaped by the proposed constitutional amendment 3 concerning home state exemptions. 30 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:06,000 On going legislative discussions regarding broader property tax reform and the enactment of Senate bill for F. 31 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Senate bill for F which became law on June 24th, 2026 establishes the rollback rate as the maximum military that may be adopted by a simple majority vote beginning with this budget cycle. 32 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000 The rollback rate is the millage rate necessary to generate the same property tax revenue from existing taxable property is the previous year. 33 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Revenue generated by new growth is calculated separately. 34 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Higher millage rates remain authorized under Florida law that require supermajority or unanimous approval depending on the rate proposed. 35 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:51,000 The recommendations in this budget were developed before Senate bill for F became law and reflect the county's longstanding commitment to responsible financial stewardship, 36 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000 thoughtful long-term planning and investment in the community our residents value. 37 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Against this backdrop, the fiscal year 27 10-minute budget takes a measure to approach to new general fund obligations. 38 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000 In many respects it is a continuation budget. 39 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:18,000 It maintains current service levels limits recurring general fund growth and focuses on positions critical to providing essential services. 40 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:28,000 The revised projects and contracts continue to move forward, where practical this budget avoids significant new recurring obligations. 41 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:43,000 While we cannot predict the future, this approach preserves the board's ability to respond thoughtfully to changing conditions. 42 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000 It reflects a disciplined and measured approach to governing through fiscal uncertainty. 43 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,000 It preserves our longstanding commitment as I said to responsible financial stewardship and maintaining your flexibility. 44 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:08,000 At the same time, it does continue to invest in the essential services that our residents rely upon and remains aligned with your board and the county's mission, vision, values, and your strategic priorities. 45 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000 I appreciate your leadership and guidance through this process and look forward to continuing our work together to finalize the fiscal year 27 budget. 46 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000 And with that, I submit to you the fiscal year 27 budget. 47 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Thank you, Ms. Leaverman. I appreciate that very much. 48 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Commissioner's any comments before we get into our public hearings. 49 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:36,000 I have one question and that is just the in-tapped first of all, y'all picked up font that is so tiny. 50 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000 It's like ten point font, but like any glasses. 51 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:51,000 In the in-tapped three where we have all the performance measures are those the new performance measures that the departments worked with. 52 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000 I've gone on her team on or these. 53 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Some are in process.
