Transcript Partial transcript

Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's minutes do that (above). A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube, in a new tab.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

[00:03:40] ▶ Play Speaker 6
I'll be requesting two separate actions. One, to adopt a final millage rate for fiscal year 2025, and then to adopt a final budget for fiscal year 2025. And then, according to state statute, there must be a balanced budget in place by the beginning of the fiscal year, which is October 1st, so that we can continue to operate. However, there are other things that we could do to continue operating, but the
[00:04:04] ▶ Play Speaker 3
point is to get a balanced budget.

[00:04:11] ▶ Play Speaker 6
the first thing, um, that we're going to request that council do is to adopt the fiscal year 2025 final millage rate. Um, as a note, ‸ the tentative millage rate can't exceed the millage rate that was established, um, July 23rd is 6.9532 mills, unless we go back and re advertise and repost the notice of proposed property taxes. Um, of note, the fiscal year 2025 budget was developed with assumptions of ad valorem revenue at 6.9532 mills, with a collection rate of 95% of which the state does require. Uh, ‸ budget at least 95% to support ongoing operational needs. The next step in this hearing will be to adopt the final budget for fiscal year 2025.

as we get through the two hearings for budget adoption, um, ‸ this chart shows you where the city of cocoa is as far as millage rate. And again, at the 6.9532 mills, we are, uh, established to collect, uh, ‸ gross of 12 million 31,515 dollars.

I'm a little jumbled up, too, because the agenda didn't lay out the millage and the budget separately, so one of my questions is the same as Councilwoman Koss had about, you know, what's coming. So, anyway, I will go through and ask my questions, um, ‸ but ‸ I think the public is allowed to ask questions, so having the timer on is distracting. I have questions.

vocal about that, if I'm not able to ask my questions. The first thing I would like to note for the benefit of counsel is, is that at the last meeting, at the trim meeting, it was clarified that once the proposed millage rate is approved at the meeting, the millage rate may be reduced or increased at the subsequent trim public hearings.

to generate all the paperwork. So, I am making sure that I state that for the record because there are people in this community that are confused about that. And, if I'm confused, I would like that corrected. There are other cities in Brevard that are not going with the millage rate, and there's one additional that was not on the slide, and that is Palm Bay.

Titusville has gone with a lower rate, and then Indian Harbor Beach. None of them have gone with the rolled back rate, but they have gone with a lower rate. This has not been done ‸ in Cocoa in many, many years to do anything besides the millage or a millage increase. I did research on this. I went all the way back.

So, they're very slight, but the point that I want to make about the millage ‸ is that these are real hearings, and these costs, these can be adjusted at the hearing. We have precedent in Brevard County, and when I started coming to this meeting, which was exactly three years ago, I came to the final budget hearing,

want to make sure to clarify that this millage is not baked, and there are people that are not supporting ‸ the plan for the millage, and then I think the council should be considering either the rollback rate, which I did some analysis, which I won't have time to give you on my own taxes. The rollback rate would end up at one point, and an intermediary would keep our taxes flat. So, I don't think there's been enough consideration of that prior to adopting this millage.

So it's not, it's not the rate, it's the valuation that is capped under Save Our Homes. So, so valuation is set by the property appraiser, tax rates are set by the taxing authorities, the city councils,

the tax valuation of your property. Right.

That's
[00:15:42] ▶ Play Speaker 9 + overlapping voice · overlapping voices
the cap.
[00:15:42] ▶ Play Speaker 2 + overlapping voice · overlapping voices
This rate is based on what the taxable value of the home is, correct? I mean, this, the, how do you come up with how much they're, the, each

And my concern is to, to ‸ have the economic growth so that we can stop depending on utilities and stop having to have, um, a high millage rate or, or at least I would say a competitive millage rate. I will not say it's high, it's competitive, but also at the same time, as we grow, um, and also we gave $5 million to, uh, Brightline and you only see we generate 12 million. So we almost gave half, but it's, we're looking at the ‸ future, the projection for the city of Cocoa and the growth that's going to be centralized in the North by Northwest corridor area. So,

there's the number one, the change in property values, but there's also a valuation adjustment board that goes through where people can contest what their values are. Their taxable values are.

You know, that is easy enough to absorb. For some folks.

And I hope that we're cognizant of that when we're doing this. Like I said, I've supported this millage rate. I think we're, we're at a point where we're really just kind of, of course, the growth is exploding. And maybe not use that word, but the growth is significant. And, you know, we sit at the edge of this new era where we will be hosting a Brightline station where we will in fact become a destination in and of ourselves. So that's why I've supported it.

funds. uh total 3.8 million uh the impact fee fund uh we're projected to collect about 2.4 million dollars followed by storm water at 2.3 the debt service fund which is a governmental fund at 1.5 million dollars and then the workers comp fund at 1.3 million dollars so looking at general fund um we have to report ‸ certain categories of our revenue. So our revenue is made up of taxes, other permits and fees, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, fines and forfeitures, miscellaneous. And then the other non-revenue that I referred to previously, which is interfund transfers such as the water and sewer utility fund return on

And then anything that we take from um unassigned fund balance and then also debt proceeds. So looking at the revenue by funding source, um you'll note that uh the highest revenue source is the non-revenues which is those utility fund transfers plus the debt totaling about 20.7 million dollars followed by total taxes, which is not just avalorum, but it's also anything else that the city council can enact per state statute is as a tax uh

can you go back to that?

the liability, the, um property insurance, all those other kind of insurance is not health insurance, health insurance is budgeted in all the departments. Okay. So then looking at the water and sewer budget, um again, we are required to put the revenue in certain categories. So the biggest, um uh revenue source is charges for services, which is various services that the utility fund charges for. It's about 80 million,

I think that the city should be doing a version of a rollback rate version of what the budget looks like, which has been mentioned, and should be doing an intermediary version. And I support the council women who were talking about that. Councilman Hearn at the last meeting, he sounded like he was saying something like that, but I couldn't hear it on the microphone because he was off mic, but he was interested too. Citizens want options, and we want to know that you guys are processing options and not just being pressured to approve a millage and a budget.

you, Mayor. During the construction of the stormwater ‸ system on North Fisk Boulevard, a conflict between the stormwater pipe and existing sewer laterals
[01:12:23] ▶ Play Speaker 7 · Machine re-recognized
was identified. The age and material of the original sewer main in this area restricts the reconnection of existing laterals as called for in the plans. The most cost effective solution is to install a new sewer main along this section of North Fisk Boulevard. Staff recommends adding 420,000 to the project contingency construction account.

When it's materials that you don't use in today's construction. And so, and so, so it's, it's, it's you unknown stuff in the ground and that unknown stuff is stuff that you don't use anymore.
