ITEM #2 - Adopt tentative millaae rate of 5.1158 mills for Fiscal Year 1997/98 and set

In accordance with the TRIM Bill process, the City Commission must adopt a
tentative millage rate prior to finalizing and adopting the Budget. The tentative millage rate,
to be sent in August to taxpayers in TRIM Bill notices, cannot be increased without a
special mailing. The City Manager's recommended millage rate of 5.1158 mills is the same
rate as adopted for the current year. According to State definition, the rollback rate is the
millage rate, excluding new construction, structure additions, deletions, and property added
due to geographic boundary changes, that will provide the same ad valorem tax revenue as
levied the prior year. If the recommended rate is adopted, the ordinance will reflect a
2.23% increase over the rolled back rate of 5.0044 mills.
Based on the recommended increase, Clearwater's share of the property tax would
not increase for properties not reassessed at a higher tax value. For properties reassessed
at higher tax values, Clearwater's share of the property tax will increase only by the same
percentage as the properties' values had increased.
This will be the 7th consecutive year the 5.118 millage rate has been maintained.
The City last increased the rate in FY (fiscal year) 1990/91. During the past few years, the
City has added many new programs including the Office of Tourism Development,
Community Response Team, and Community Outreach. Alone, these 3 programs impact
the General Fund budget by more than $2-million annually. Next year's focus . will be to
implement and promote the City's Vision and the 1 at of a 3-year management review of

City operations. Costs associated with these efforts require serious consideration of the
effects on future operating budgets.
The City Manager complimented staff for not raising the rate but noted upcoming
years must be carefully considered and reviewed.. Concern was expressed new programs
and properties result in future expenses.
: The City Manager reported his proposal to set aside $1 ~million in a "Vision" fund.
To qualify for funding, departments must justify that proposed programs contribute to the
Vision Statement. He announced management audits of aU departments are planned
during the next several years.
~ ~ :.
In response to 8 question, Deputy City Manager Kathy Rice said the proposed
budget includes the same level of contributions to outside agencies as were made in the
current year. The City Commission will determine the actual level of contributions during
, the budget process. The budget also includes a 1.8% general wage increase. In response
to a Question, Budget Director Tina Wilson said proposed reductions in department budgets
wore considered. A list of reductions was requested. The final budget document should
be completed by next week.
