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 2024 Directions Workshop with the Village Council. Ms. Quickel informed Council that staff focused on safety and security, capital improvements, financial and strategic planning, economic outreach, quality of life, community investment, and inclusionary government. 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. This is the average rate for the last sixteen years. She said staff recommends no change to the ACME non-ad valorem assessment of $255 per unit. Ms. Quickel indicated the TRIM rates for the Solid Waste Assessments were previously adopted on May 14, 2024 and were recommended at $310.00 per curbside unit and $230.00 per containerized unit. Ms. Quickel stated the Water & Wastewater average bill would increase monthly by approximately $7.47. 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 ninth 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 $147.9 million, which is $10 million more than the current year budget of $137.7 million She said this $10 million increase is primarily due to two major utility projects. Detailed information will be presented at the upcoming Capital Projects workshop in August. Ms. Quickel stated that out of the proposed FY 2025 budget of $147.9 million, tax revenues provide approximately $29 million in revenues using the proposed 2.47 millage rate. This is the twelfth consecutive year of increased property values since 2013. The revenue value of each tenth of a mill is $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million for FY 2025.

For Capital Projects, the FY 2025 budget includes One-Time Governmental Projects at $4,250,000 million. The Ongoing Programs are $5,856,833 million and the Utility Projects are $15,760,791 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 the 2025 Budget. She concluded the presentation with the budget calendar. She noted that staff is focused on public outreach to gain input from residents and stakeholders with multiple engagement options: the Budget Balancing Act and Taxpayer Receipt, Budget Challenge Online Survey, Flash Vote, social media and Wellington’s website. The simulation is active from July 8, 2024 to August 21, 2024. She stated the budget and capital workshop is scheduled for Monday, August 12, 2024.
