ITEM D.1. Town of Redington Shores, Florida Memorandum To: Mayor and Town Commission Date: August 29, 2025 Subject: Public Hearing - setting millage rate for fiscal year 2025-2026 BACKGROUND Chapter 200 of the Florida Statute “Determination of Millage” sets a statutory timetable and procedure for the calculation and notification to the public of the process to set a final ad valorem tax millage and adopt a budget. The statute identifies the time frames and briefly describes the procedures to be accomplished during that time frame. DISCUSSION Per Pinellas County Property Appraiser (Certification of Taxable Value DR-420), the FY 2025- 2026 preliminary gross taxable value of property within the Town of Redington Shores is $1,170,019,941 which is -.31% less than the FY 2024-2025 Final Gross Taxable Value of $1,173,705,988. Staff proposes setting the final ad valorem millage rate at 1.6896. The proposed budget reviewed by the Town Commission at the Budget Workshop held on August 27, 2025, is predicated on this millage rate. The final millage rate, at 1.6896 mills, will produce approximately $1,897,790 in net ad valorem tax revenues (net of 4% discount), representing an decrease of $9,780 over last year’s budget of $1,907,570. The Department of Revenue also requires that the Town calculate a rolled-back millage rate. The rolled-back rate is defined as the millage rate that would generate the same amount of ad valorem tax revenue as was levied during the prior year. The rolled back rate is calculated at 1.6593. The proposed millage rate of 1.6896 is 1.83% higher than the rolled back rate. RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully requests that Commission set the proposed millage rate at 1.6896 mills for Fiscal Year October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The millage must be adopted first. The millage and budget must be adopted by separate votes. Upon adoption of the motion, the Mayor will announce: The proposed millage rate of 1.6896 mills, which is higher than the rolled-back rate by 1.83%, is to fund the expenses of the General Fund for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2025 and ending September 30, 2026. The final approved millage rate for the Town of Redington Shores will be presented at a second and final public hearing that will be held on Monday, September 15, 2025, at 6:00P.M.

The intent of this year’s budget is to address critical infrastructure needs for the Town’s systems, furthering the Town’s progress in improving processes in Town operations, all while maintaining fiscal responsibility. In the upcoming year, we have several projects planned that are aimed at improving the experience of residents and visitors in Town. Some of the projects include the addressing of issues resulting from significant deferred maintenance of our wastewater infrastructure, repairs and upgrades to our stormwater system, undergrounding of utilities on the West side of Gulf Boulevard (which is a continuation of the work completed on the East side), park improvements, and purchasing the necessary equipment to continue providing services in our beautiful Town. The Town extends gratitude to the Town Commission, staff, and members of the community that have aided in the formulation of this budget. The following pages detail the methodology used to compile this annual budget and provide an outline of the anticipated revenues and expenditures required to achieve the goals set forth by the Commission to serve our residents, businesses, and visitors.

To that end, a census for sidewalk conditions within the Town needs to be conducted to identify the areas for improvement. Upon completion of the census a prioritized list of needed improvements will be developed so that the necessary work can be conducted. Target Date: September 30, 2026 FY 2026 Street Lighting 83,250 Street Improvements 43,250 16 Town of Redington Shores Storm Drain Maintenance and Improvement Program Preserving our existing infrastructure is essential. Proper maintenance, including consistent vegetation removal, crack sealing, patching, and fabric and pavement overlays can extend the life expectancy of existing improvements. Prior to work schedule development, a census of the Town's roadways, and their current conditions, must be completed. This will enable staff to direct maintenance and repair efforts based upon priority. The Town is currently pursuing a hazard mitigation grant (HMGP) for the purpose of addressing the most critical infrastructure deficiencies within the stormwater system. If awarded, the Town will receive up to 75% of the cost of these efforts to address flooding within the most frequently impacted areas of the Town. Following a routine stormwater system maintenance schedule is also a critical component of this infrastructure improvements project. It has been estimated that the necessary funding to improve all elements of the Town's stormwater system will cost approximately $3.8M Target Date: Ongoing FY 2026 Stormwater Infrastructure 846,905 635,175 HMGP Grant Revenue 17 Town of Redington Shores Utility Undergrounding Project Undergrounding of the utilities (Duke Energy and Spectrum Cable) along the western portion of Gulf Boulevard is of critical importance to the Town. This project is estimated to cost approximately $4,000,000.00 and involves binding cost estimates (BCE's), which must be paid in full to each of the two utilities and submitted for reimbursement by September 30, 2026, to qualify for reimbursement from Pinellas County. Staff have submitted this project for consideration of an HMGP grant – with potential grant funding of up to 75% of the project cost. Target Date: September 30, 2026 FY 2026 Utility Undergrounding Project 3,800,000 Duke Energy 243,415 Spectrum 19,000 Consultant 4,062,415 Total Estimated Cost 2,394,223 Pinellas County Reimbursement Revenue 1,251,145 HMGP Grant Revenue 18 Town of Redington Shores Sewer System Improvement Project The Town's sewer system requires improvements to the three remaining main lines and all associated laterals for work not previously completed. These improvements are also necessary to relinquish ownership control of the sewer system to Pinellas County Utilities. The project has a funding need of an estimated $4,000,000.00 to complete. Target Date: Ongoing FY 2026 Sewer System Improvements 500,000.00 19
