Council Auditor Kirk Sherman
reviewed the City Council budget review process which began with the Mayor’s
budget presentation earlier in the day.
The Mayor’s proposed millage rate is slightly above the rolled-back rate
calculation, so would require a 2/3 majority vote to adopt. The first action to be taken is the adoption
of the tentative rollback rate which is required to be reported to the Property
Appraiser by July 24th, so will need to be acted upon as an
emergency at the next Council meeting or at a special called meeting.
Assistant Council Auditor
Janice Billy reviewed the marked committee agenda which included 13 items to be
deferred (5 as a result of deferral at the Rules Committee meeting earlier in
the day), 7 items ready for action and 10 items to be recommended for second
reading and re-referral. She pointed out
the attachments to the agenda relating to bill 2008-369 (amending the
Jacksonville Retirement System Board of Trustees) for further detail about the
proposed board changes.
There being no further
business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:38 p.m.
