Fire Service is not identified as a normal county-public function. Therefore, it is not the responsibility of COJ to provide fire service at Jax Beach. Pursuant to the interlocal agreement, COJ levies a millage rate on Jax Beach properties that is 3.2907 mills less than non-Beaches and non-Baldwin properties to account for services not provided by COJ. Specifically, COJ levies 11.4419 mills on the GSD excluding the Beaches and Baldwin, while it only levies 8.1512 mills on Jax Beach. The City of Jacksonville Beach passed an amended agreement August 19, 2019 to add clarifying language regarding the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) of the Jax Beach Firefighters’ Retirement Plan. The original agreement was silent as to who would be responsible for any future UAAL.

Concerns: 1. From a financial perspective, this proposal is inequitable as it causes the rest of the county to subsidize fire service at Jax Beach. To make this financially equitable, Jax Beach should make COJ whole either with annual cash payments or by paying a higher GSD millage.
