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.

Mayor, Board of Commissioners, and Residents,
The enclosed budget document serves as an overview of the fiscal year 2025 - 2026 operational and capital plan for the
Town of Redington Shores. 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.
Sincerely,
Margaret Carey, Town Manager

Town of Redington Shores
Signage and Parking Improvements
Promoting and maintain a safe and desirable living and working environment while at the
same time maintaining and improving the quality of our community, the goal of this project is
to reduce sign clutter as much as possible by incorporating messaging into a single advisory
sign and to develop a systematic distribution of amenities for benches, refuse receptacles,
bicycle racks, etc. Well-planned parks and recreation systems, using Florida Friendly
landscaping provisions, can increase property values, foster job creation, and provide a
foundation for sustainability and resource management.

Town of Redington Shores
Streets Maintenance and Improvement Program
The Town's sidewalk system, along both Town streets and Gulf Boulevard, needs to be
maintained for the safe and efficient passage of pedestrians. 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.

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

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.

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.
