OKAY. PRISCILLA MOXEY, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICES.
THANK YOU. PRESENTING THE PRELIMINARY ACTIONS REQUIRED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2027 MILLAGE RATE AND THE NON AD VALOREM ASSESSMENT. THESE ITEMS DO NOT ADOPT THE FINAL BUDGET OR THE FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL.
RATHER THEY ESTABLISH THE PROPOSED RATES, AUTHORIZE THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS AND ALLOWS FOR INFORMATION TO BE TRANSMITTED AND NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE TRIM AND ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS. THE NEXT FOUR ITEMS WHICH STARTS OUT AT TEMPORARY RESOLUTION 14.
14404 THROUGH 14407 PROPOSED MILLAGE RATE AND BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING.
THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET MILLAGE AND THE ASSESSED ITEMS IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2026 AT 5:05 P.M. THE SECOND BUDGET HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2026 AT 5:05 P.M.
TO GO OVER THE FIRST ONE, WHICH IS TEMPORARY.
RESOLUTION 14 404, WHICH IS FY 27 PROPOSED MILLAGE RATE.
IT ESTABLISHES THE CITY PROPOSED OPERATING MILLAGE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 27.
THE MILLAGE RATE IS PROPOSED AT 7.000 MILLS FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 FOR THE GENERAL OPERATING PURPOSES. THIS RATE IS THE SAME OPERATING MILLAGE RATE AS THE PRIOR YEARS, AND PROVIDES THE CITY COMMISSION WITH THE MAXIMUM RATE THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED UNDER DURING THE SEPTEMBER PUBLIC HEARING.
THE PROPOSED RATE IS 4.49% HIGHER THAN THE ROLLBACK RATE OF 6.6991 MILLS, BASED ON THE CERTIFIED TAX VALUE OF SEVEN. HOLD ON ONE SECOND. OF 7 BILLION.
THE BUDGETED AMOUNT, AT 95%, IS 48,186,871, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR THE STATUTORY BUDGET REQUIREMENT.
[00:10:13]
BASED ON THE PROPOSED MILLAGE RATE, THE INCREASE THAT BASED ON THE VALUES THAT WERE PROVIDED FOR JULY 1ST GIVES AN INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 1.9 MILLION.SO WE HAD THE JUNE ESTIMATE VERSUS THE JULY CERTIFIED AMOUNTS.
YEAH. I JUST GOING TO SAY HE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS.
DO YOU WANT HIM TO GO OVER THE THE MAXIMUM SUPERMAJORITY VERSUS THE ROLLBACK? OH, OKAY. SO WE DON'T NEED TO DO IT NOW. OKAY.
OKAY. AND THIS HERE IS A THE IMPACT ON THE HOMESTEADED TAXPAYERS. SO WE PROVIDED A MEDIAN OF AN ASSESSED VALUE OF 246304 WITH THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION PROVIDES FOR THAT PROPERTY.
WHAT'S THE TAXABLE VALUE FOR FY 26 BEING 195,579.
AND WITH THE AD VALOREM LEVIED AT THE 7.0 MILLAGE RATE WOULD BE $1,369.05 WITH THE ASSESS VALUE OF 252,954 HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION OF THE SAME FIVE. WELL, BASICALLY OF WHAT IT IS NOW ON AS OF JULY 1ST, OF THE 50,675, THE TAXABLE VALUE BEING 202,279 AND WITH THE SAME MILLAGE RATE THAT WE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED OF SEVEN MILLS, THE TAX WOULD BE $1,415.95.
THE DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT WE HAD AS THE JULY AMOUNT VERSUS THE JUNE AMOUNT, HAS A CHANGE OF $46.90 BASED ON BROWARD'S PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE CERTIFIED RATE FOR JULY 1ST.
AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PORTION FOR 14.404. MOVING ON TO TEMPORARY RESOLUTION 14.405 WHICH IS THE FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENT FOR FY 27 TEMPORARY RESOLUTION. 14.405 INITIATES THE ANNUAL PROCESS TO UPDATE THE FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENT ROLL AND REIMPOSE A FIRE RESCUE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR FY27 TO PROPOSE RESIDENTIAL FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENT RATE IS 509 PER DWELLING UNIT.
THIS RATE REFLECTS 100% FUNDING FOR ALLOWABLE FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENT COSTS BASED ON THE JUNE 2026 ACCESSIBLE COSTS UPDATED TO THE FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENT STUDY. THE ASSESSMENT IS [INAUDIBLE] TO GENERATE ESTIMATED GROSS REVENUE OF 21,609,659 AFTER ESTIMATED EXEMPT BY DOWN OF 1,234,367. THE ESTIMATED NET REVENUE IS 20,375,292. BUDGETED ASSESSMENT REVENUE IS 19,356,527, WHICH REPRESENTS 95% OF THE NET ASSESSMENT. TO ACCOUNT FOR THE DISCOUNT AND NON PAYMENT.
THE OVERALL PROPOSED FIRE RESCUE BUDGET FOR FY 27 IS 38,137,880.
[INAUDIBLE] I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS SAYING.
OH, I THOUGHT I WAS.OKAY, SO BASED ON THE ALLOWABLE COSTS THAT THE.
[00:15:04]
THE STUDY PERMITS IT WAS ONLY AT 50.75, BUT IT'S 100% OF THE ALLOWABLE COST.THEY TYPICALLY RECOMMEND 80 OR 90 AND 100%. WE'VE TAKEN THE FULL 100%.
THAT 100% CAME IN AT THE 20,375,292. [INAUDIBLE] RIGHT. OKAY. SO OF THE 38 MILLION, THAT'S A LOT OF YOU KNOW, BASED ON THIS, BASED ON THAT, BASED ON THAT. WELL, BASED ON THE TOTAL COST FOR FIRE RESCUE, THE, OF THEIR BUDGET, FIRE RESCUE, THE COMPONENT THAT RELATES TO FIRE RESCUE THAT'S ALLOWABLE IS 20 MILLION 375.
THAT'S 100% OF THEIR ALLOWABLE COST THAT'S PERMITTED BY LAW TO BE CHARGED.
SO WE'RE PERMITTED TO CHARGE BASED OFF OF THAT.
AND WE OF THE THREE OPTIONS THAT WERE AVAILABLE, WE PICKED THE FULL 100% OF THE 20 MILLION, WHICH IS WHAT'S REFLECTED. SO IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE SAYING THAT $509 WILL GENERATE $20 MILLION, CORRECT? OKAY.
AND THEN AND OF THEIR TOTAL BUDGET OF 38 MILLION, THAT 20 MILLION IS FIRE RESCUE.
AND WE'VE, WE'VE TAKEN FULL THE FULL BENEFIT OF THAT USE OF THAT MONEY.
SO WE ARE CHARGING THE FULL 509 TO COVER THE 100% OF FIRE RESCUE ALONE.
OKAY. SO. SO BASICALLY THE TOTAL AMOUNT WILL GO TOWARDS THE FIRE RESCUE.
CORRECT. IT CAN'T BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE. SO YOU KNOW, IF THE FIRE IS COSTING $38 MILLION AND YOU'RE ONLY COLLECTING $20 MILLION YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT'S, THE REST OF IT IS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE.
GENERAL FUND. GENERAL FUND. YEAH. IN FACT, VERSUS I THINK THE [INAUDIBLE] SAKE AND PUBLIC, YOU COULD SAY 20 MILLION IS COMING FROM THE FIRE FEE AND THE REST FROM GENERAL FUND.
I THINK THAT'D BE BETTER RIGHT UNDERNEATH. OKAY.
THAT'S PROBABLY THE PART THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT IS WHENEVER THEY SAY THE FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT, YOU GOT TO REALIZE THAT FIRE AND EMS. RIGHT? AND WHENEVER PEOPLE SAY FIRE RESCUE, IT'S THEY THINK, OH, IT'S GOING TO PAY FOR THE WHOLE THING. AND IT'S NOT. RIGHT.
SO, SO IT DOES NOT COVER ANY PORTION OF THE EMS TECHNICALITIES.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE CAN SAVE THAT FOR, FOR, FOR OUR DOCUMENTATION FOR OUR BUDGET BOOKS AND, AND ALL THAT. BUT FOR THIS IS FOR PUBLIC PURPOSE.
AND, AND SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.
THAT'S WHAT THE ISSUE YOU WENT FROM 20 TO 38.
HOWEVER, OF THAT, THE COMPONENT THAT RELATES DIRECTLY TO FIRE RESCUE IS THE 20 MILLION.
WE NEED TO SHOW [INAUDIBLE] FIVE FEET. RIGHT.
ON WEDNESDAY. I CAN UPDATE THE PRESENTATION. OKAY.
SO. OKAY, LET'S TAKE IT OUT. YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE IT.
NO, NO, LET'S WORK ON YOUR PRESENTATION. OKAY.
MOVING ON TO TEMPORARY RESOLUTION 14406. FY 27 STORMWATER UTILITY MANAGEMENT FEE ASSESSMENT.
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION 14406 INITIATES THE PROCESS TO ESTABLISH AND REIMPOSE THE STORMWATER UTILITY MANAGEMENT FEE ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 27, THE PROPOSED STORMWATER UTILITY MANAGEMENT FEE IS $178.07 PER EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL UNIT, OR ERU. THIS IS AN INCREASE OF $7.18 OVER FISCAL YEAR 26 RATE OF
[00:20:08]
$170.89, REPRESENTING A 4.2% INCREASE CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY CODE PROVISION REQUIRING THE ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT TO BE THE GREATER OF THE 3%, OR CPI. THE ASSESSMENT, THE ASSESSMENT IS PROJECTED TO GENERATE ESTIMATED GROSS REVENUE OF 9,000,293 THROUGH 28.AFTER THE EXEMPTION, THE EXEMPT BUYDOWN OF 535,432 FOR CITY PROPERTIES.
ESTIMATED NET REVENUE IS 8,757,896. BUDGETED REVENUE IS 8,000,320 AND $1, WHICH REPRESENTS 90. 95% OF THE NET FEES TO ACCOUNT FOR DISCOUNTS, TAX COLLECTOR FEES AND NONPAYMENT.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST TEMPORARY RESOLUTION 14407 FY 27 RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION ASSESSMENT.
THE ASSESSMENT IS PROJECTED TO GENERATE ESTIMATED GROSS REVENUE OF 5,134,575.
THESE COSTS ARE CONSIDERED PASS THROUGH COSTS RELATED TO THE CITY'S FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. OF FLORIDA, AND THE DISPOSAL FEES PAID DIRECTLY TO [INAUDIBLE] AS PART OF THE COLLECTION SERVICE. THIS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZED THE PREPARATION OF THE ASSESSMENT ROLL AND THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING AND NOTICE PROCESS.
AND THESE ARE THE TIMELINES FOR WHICH I MENTIONED AT THE START FOR THE TRIM PROCESS.
OKAY, SO THE CITY NEEDS TO ADOPT A TEMPORARY MILLAGE RATE NO LATER THAN AUGUST 4TH.
AND HENCE WE'RE DOING IT ON JULY 8TH IN THIS UPCOMING MEETING.
OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THOSE ARE ALL THE THE ITEMS. AND THEN WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM 6.E THAT'S AN IT'S AN AGREEMENT WITH WATER FILLED FLORIDA STAFFING

AND, AND SO THAT'S THAT. AND THEY'RE ALSO SEEKING FOR THE DESIGNATION OF THAT PROPERTY AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PROJECT. OKAY. AND WHAT'S THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT? ACTUALLY, IT JUST HELPS TO FURTHER THE APPLICATION AND SHOWS THE STATE OF FLORIDA THAT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS IN PARTNERSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP APPLICATION.
AND AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY AND IT'S A, IT'S A.
[00:25:01]
IT'S A GOOD LOOKING PROJECT. AND, AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING THIS IN SOUTH FLORIDA FOR QUITE SOME TIME.THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS IN, IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY AND MIAMI-DADE AS WELL.

IT IS TO UPDATE THE APPROVED ITEMS THAT THE COMMISSION WENT OVER, WENT OVER FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL YEAR TO NOW BRINGING THE BOOKS CURRENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH.

OKAY. ORDINANCES, SECOND READING. SO THIS IS THE ADOPTION
[8.a. TO2633 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, adopting amendments to the City of Tamarac Comprehensive Plan "with changes", including amendments to the future land use element, the transportation element, the housing element, the infrastructure element, the capital improvements element, the economic development element, and; authorizing the appropriate city officials to take administrative action to transmit the revisions of the adopted City of Tamarac 2050 Comprehensive Plan as amended inclusive of the supporting data and analysis and all associated tables, exhibits, and maps attached hereto as Exhibit "A" to the Florida Department of Commerce and other reviewing agencies as required by Florida Statute 163.3184(3); providing for severability; providing for conflicts; and providing an effective date. ]

ALL FURTHER DIRECTION IS GIVEN AND WE WILL DO ANOTHER AMENDMENT ONCE THAT IS OUT OF THE WAY AS WELL.
YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND THEN ITEM 9.A IS IS THE ADOPTION OF THE
[9.a. TR14397 -A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, approving the Program Year 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG) Annual Action Plan and to receive the annual allocation CDBG funding in the amount of $508,694 and to utilize the recaptured Neighborhood Stabilization Program income (NSP Pl) funding in the amount of $1,278,687 to administer activities in the annual action plan attached hereto as Exhibit "A"; authorizing the Mayor or designee to submit said annual action plan and related documents to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD); providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. ]
ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND OF OUR CDBG AND CDBG PLAN. SO [INAUDIBLE]. THIS IS A, THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM.AND SO YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT THAT? OR MY EITHER ONE.
YEAH, THIS IS THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND THIS IS STANDARD BY AUGUST 15TH.
THE CITY, THE CITY HAS AN ENTITLEMENT JURISDICTION IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT HIS ACTION PLAN AND ACTION PLAN THAT OUTLINES HOW THE CITY INTENDS ON SPENDING ITS FUNDS FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR. THIS ONE IS A BIT UNIQUE, MR. MANAGER, BECAUSE IT INCLUDES SOME NSP FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN RECAPTURED, THAT PROGRAM HAS BEEN CLOSED, AND HUD HAS DIRECTED ALL MUNICIPALITIES TO REDIRECT THOSE FUNDS INTO CDBG.
SO THIS YEAR, IT ALSO INCLUDES ABOUT $1.2 MILLION OF NSP FUNDS.
[00:30:02]
AN EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT WILL PROVIDE RENTAL, MORTGAGE PAYMENT HOA PAYMENTS AND SO ON.I THINK IT'S A COMPONENT THAT THE COMMISSION HAS BEEN ASKING FOR.
SO FOR THIS YEAR, THAT WILL BE INCLUDED AS A PART OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMPONENT.
CORRECT. AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE 12.278 THE FUNDS REMAINING FROM NSP ARE NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE. SO THIS IS A ONE TIME ONLY THIS YEAR IN, IN OUR NORMAL ALLOCATION IS, IS SOMEWHERE AROUND $508,000 FROM, FROM CDBG.
AND SO NEXT YEAR'S PLAN WILL BE LIMITED TO, TO THAT.
THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEN ITEM 10.A IS A MAJOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE, FOR THE
[10.a. TR14410 -A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, granting site plan approval (major) with conditions to allow for the redevelopment of the subject property, legally described in Exhibit "A", to permit the demolition of an existing one-story 19,983 square foot professional school building and the construction of a new 84,245 square foot industrial warehouse building located on the east side of N Hiatus Road, North of W Commercial Boulevard, shown in Exhibit "B" at 5600 N Hiatus Road (Case No. 8-SP-25); providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW 84, 85000 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE.YES, THIS IS CONSTRUCTION ON HARRIS ROAD NEAR CURRENT, THE, THE WHAT YOU CALL IT THE WASH, THE WASHING PLACE. I FORGOT WHAT THE NAME OF THAT.
YEAH. SONNY SONNY'S CAR WASH. GOLD COAST. YEAH, GOLD COAST WILL DEMO THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THEY WILL BUILD A NEWER, LARGER FACILITY. THAT'S ALL HAS FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND FROM THEM UP TO FOUR BAYS INSIDE IT CAN BE ONE ONE TENANT THAT CAN TAKE OVER ALL THE PLACE, OR THEY WILL HAVE SEPARATE TENANTS IN IT.
THEY WILL PRESENT IN FOR THE CITY COMMISSION AND THEY ALREADY DONE IT, ALREADY WENT TO THE COMMISSION FOR REZONING, AND IT PASSED ON THE FIRST AND SECOND READING.
AND SO THIS IS REMOVING THAT FACILITY AND BUILDING A MUCH LARGER INDUSTRIAL.
AND IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT WITHOUT ANY FUNCTIONAL, BASICALLY SINCE COVID, THEY JUST WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. SO THIS IS, THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT ADDING TO THE CITY'S COMMERCIAL BASE.
AND ITEM 10.B IS. IT'S A SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR HALL FOR HIRE.
[10.b. TBO104 - Order Granting/Denying Special Exception application for Duwbu Ballroom & Lounge, located at 3104-3108 West Commercial Boulevard, Tamarac, FL 33309 to allow for the use of a modified tenant space within a commercial retail plaza, for a proposed hall for hire or "banquet hall" in the MU-C (Mixed-Use Corridor) zoning district, pursuant to the City of Tamarac Code of Ordinances.]
HOWEVER, THE. FOR WHAT? HALL FOR HIRE. THE EVENT.OH, HALL FOR HIRE. YEAH. BUT YEAH, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED FOR THE ITEM TO BE CONTINUED.
THEY ARE NOT READY AT THE TIME AND THEY. THEY ARE CHANGING A LITTLE BIT OF THE INTERNAL.
BASICALLY. WHERE IS THIS LOCATED AT? I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE IT'S IN THE I SEE WHICH PLAZA.
IT'S I DON'T THINK IT'S THE WEST COMMERCIAL THREE LAKE PLAZA.
IT'S THREE LAKES PLAZA. OH THREE LAKES PLAZA. YES.
THREE LAKES PLAZA. OKAY. ITEM WAS RECENTLY FORMALLY CONTINUED FROM THE PLANNING BOARD MEETING, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOTICED, IT NEEDS TO ALSO APPEAR IN THE CITY COMMISSION AGENDA AND BE FORMALLY CONTINUED FROM THIS AGENDA.
SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID NOT MAKE A RECOMMENDATION? NO, NO, NOT THE ITEM WAS CONTINUED THERE. BUT WHEN IT WAS NOTICED, BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AS WELL AS THE CITY COMMISSION MEETING WERE NOTICING THE SAME NOTICE.
ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? YES. MR.
