Home My WebLink AboutMinutes of First Budget Public Hearing - September 13, 2017 MINUTES OF FIRST BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING DANIA BEACH CITY COMMISSION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 - 5:01 P.M. 1. Call to Order/Roll Call Mayor James called the meeting to order at 5:01 p.m. Present: Mayor: Tamara James Vice-Mayor: Bill Harris Commissioners: Chickie Brandimarte Bobbie H. Grace Marco A. Salvino, Sr. City Manager: Robert Baldwin City Attorney: Thomas Ansbro City Clerk: Louise Stilson 2. Presentations City Manager Baldwin thanked the Commission for their direction in the preparation of the budget. He noted that Hurricane Irma will impact our current Hurricane fund, but we should be able to rebuild hurricane reserves without additional taxes. Nicki Satterfield, Director of Finance, presented an overview of the recommended budget, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Commissioner Salvino would like to discuss the new positions in the budget with the Commission before they are advertised and filled. City Manager Baldwin confirmed this would happen. Mayor James commented that people in the SW are still without power. The current administration supports infrastructure, and this Commission needs to look into burying lines throughout the City; perhaps by using bonds or grants. We also need to decide what to do with the City Hall building. Commissioner Grace said we are able to do everything we want this year, perhaps next year we can work with the CRA to get a new building. We need a solution to help with meals and food for seniors who do not have power. Assistant City Manager Donnelly stated Broward County responded they would not be doing meals at this point. Commissioner Grace noted we give money to Meals on Wheels every year, so they should give food to our residents. Commissioner Grace added she liked the presentation given tonight and this is a good budget for US. Commissioner Brandimarte questioned where all the organizations are that help during disasters that we give money to; they are just in the west, not on the east side. The charitable organizations that we contribute to are not here helping our residents. City Manager Baldwin noted the donations will come before the Commission this year and these kinds of questions can be asked of the organizations. 3. Public Hearings City Attorney Ansbro announced: The OPERATING MUNICIPAL MILLAGE will be 5.9998 MILLS, which reflects no change from the City's current fiscal year millage rate. This operating millage rate represents a 9.78% increase over the rolled back rate of 5.4655MILLS as computed in accordance with the provisions of Section 200.065(1), Florida Statutes. The voter-approved debt service millage rate is 0.1911 mills in accordance with the provisions of law pursuant to Chapter 200, Florida Statutes. The City's aggregate millage rate is 6.1909 Mills (5.9998 Mills for operating and 0.1911 Mills for debt service).
