SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Tentative Budget Public Hearing Date
Change
BACKGROUND:
On July 16, 2013, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners approved the dates
for the public hearings to set the millage rate for fiscal year 2013-2014. Subsequent to that
date, we were informed that the date of the Tentative Public Budget Hearing that was set for
September 10, 2013 at 6:00 P. M. conflicts with the School Board Hearing Date which
causes non-compliance with Truth In Millage (TRIM) procedures. In order to remain in
compliance with the TRIM schedules, the Board must set another date. The proposed new
date is Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 6:00 P.M.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
Board approval of proposed millage rates and dates for public hearings on July 16, 2013.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Board approval to change and set the Tentative Budget Public Hearing Date for Fiscal Year
2013-2014 to Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 6:00 P. M.
