C. Tentative Millage Rate and Public Hearing Date for the Truth -in- Millage (TRIM)
Process [Commission Memo 15 -120] (RM 8.A)
Commissioner Woodruff said that five years ago he advocated for a millage
increase in order for the City to accomplish the things that were needed. After looking at some
historical data, he learned that the City used that increase to fund Reserves, which is currently at
30 %. It is not right to ask the taxpayers to support an increase this time when it wasn't used
properly the last time. He suggested that the City take $1.2 million from the Reserves, as this is
the amount that the millage increase would bring.
Mayor Triplett said that many other cities have built a Reserve Fund, whereas,
Sanford sort of forced 30% into the fund, therefore, he is open to reducing it.
This is an action item on tonight's agenda.
