Ms. Quickel stated she was presenting the preliminary proposed Fiscal Village of Wellington Page 2 Village Council Action Summary - Final July 11, 2023 Year 2024 Budget and TRIM overview. She said Wellington’s budget process starts with the Five Fundamentals: Neighborhood Renaissance, Economic Development, Protecting Our Investment, Responsive Government, and Respecting the Environment. She stated staff then developed the budget using insights and information from the 2023 Directions Workshop with the Village Council. Ms. Quickel informed Council that staff focused on infrastructure and facility maintenance, recreation, youth, family programs and events, residential and community revitalization, public safety, and visioning and planning. Ms. Quickel indicated staff is proposing no change to the ad valorem millage rate from this year and for it to remain at 2.47 mills. She said staff recommends a change, as discussed during the 2023 Directions Workshop, in the ACME non-ad valorem assessment from $230 per unit to the proposed $255 per unit. Ms. Quickel indicated the TRIM rates for the Solid Waste Assessments were previously adopted on May 9, 2023 and were recommended at $290.00 for the curbside rate and $225.00 for the containerized rate. Ms. Quickel stated the Water & Wastewater average bill would increase monthly by approximately $6.74. Ms. Quickel stated the Saddle Trail Park Improvement District assessment, only for those properties within Saddle Trail that received these benefits, is $1,721 per acre. She said this is the eighth year of that fifteen (15) year term for that assessment. Ms. Quickel stated the rate is the same as last year. Ms. Quickel stated the proposed budget is $134 million, which is $5.5 million more than the current year budget of $128.5 million She said this $5.5 million increase is primarily due to rising costs of facility and road maintenance, personnel, grant funding, and special events and recreation programming. Ms. Quickel stated that out of the proposed FY 2024 budget of $134 million, tax revenues provide approximately $27 million in revenues using the proposed 2.47 millage rate. This is the eleventh consecutive year of increased property values since 2013. The revenue value of each tenth of a mill is $1,099,628 compared to $988,764 for FY 2023. Other revenue increases include franchise fees and state shared revenues, permits and fees, the addition of the SHIP Program and charges for services driven by the strong Parks and Recreation programs. Village of Wellington Page 3 Village Council Action Summary - Final July 11, 2023 Ms. Quickel highlighted governmental sources including transfers and fund balance. She also referenced budget influences in regards to expenditures. Ms. Quickel discussed the budget changes in the Governmental Funds and Enterprise Funds. In addition, she showed Council a graphic of multiple categories of expenditures regarding ad valorem taxes. For Capital Projects, the FY 2024 budget includes One-Time Governmental Projects at $8,700,000 million. The Ongoing Programs are $4,900,000 million and the Utility Projects are $7,400,000 million. Ms. Quickel explained what was included in each category. Ms. Quickel commented regarding the millage rate and future funding considerations. She said with the proposed 2.47 millage rate, the impact for a homesteaded property valued at $450,000, would be a $33.00 increase. For a property that is non-homesteaded, it will be a $111.00 increase. Ms. Quickel reviewed a sample tax bill and discussed what to expect in 2024. She concluded the presentation with the budget calendar and noted that staff is focused on outreach right now. She indicated staff had launched the Budget Balancing Act, which is an interactive online application, that runs from July 10, 2023 to August 21, 2023. In addition, staff is conducting information presentations coordinated with the Neighborhood Services program. Ms. Quickel indicated that staff would receive the Florida Department of Revenue, Office of Tax Research, Municipal Revenue estimates in late July and will make the necessary budget adjustments based on this information.
