(F.S. $286.0105)    CITY OF FORT MEADE, FLORIDA STAFF REPORT FOR MEETING OF JULY 09, 2024 AGENDA ITEM I-01  SUBJECT:  Establish Tentative Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2024/2025  BACKGROUND:  The attached form DR-420 provided by thel Polk County Property Appraiser reflectsa taxable property value of$197,639,183 for the Fiscal Year 2024/2025. This is an increase of$15,138,10or: 7.66%, from the prior year's final valuation ofS182,500,873. The administration is proposing to: set the tentative millage rate at 8.6306. The millage rate set at tonight's meeting will be certified to the respective parties and will be used on the TRIM notices that will be mailed to taxpayers in August 2024, by the Polk County Property Appraiser's office. The TRIM notice provides taxpayers with the proposed millage rate, corresponding tax amounts, and the public hearing dates. The Commission may choose to decrease thei millage rate during the budget process and at the final budget hearing. However, ift the Commission increases the millage rate during the budget process and at the final budget hearing, the city, at its expense, will be required to send new TRIM notices. This is cost-prohibitive, and the tentative millage rate set tonight should be considered an absolute maximum. The current economy is uncertain and the City has had significant insurance rate increases. While the Administration will work with the Commission to establish the final millage rate as we work through the FY 2025 budget, we are required by law to set a tentative millage rate at this time. Tonight, the Commission will also schedule the first and final public hearings to discuss the millage, budget, and capital improvement plan (CIP). Administration recommends the date ofTuesday, September 10,2024, for the first public hearing. That date corresponds to the regular Commission meeting. The final public hearing will be a special called meeting and is proposed for two weeks later Tuesday, September 24, 2024. Both meetings would start no earlier than 6:00 PM. These hearings will provide an opportunity for the residents ofFort Meade to comment on the proposed millage rate, operating  budget, and CIP.

WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Fort Meade is authorized to impose and re-impose Fire Protection Assessments for fire protection services, facilities, and  programs against Assessed Property located within the City; and  WHEREAS, the imposition of a Fire Protection Assessment for fire protection services, facilities, and programs each fiscal year is an equitable and efficient method of allocating and apportioning the Fire Protection Assessed Cost among parcels of  Assessed Property; and  NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE  CITY OF FORT MEADE, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:  Section1. Recitals. That the foregoing WHEREAS" clauses are ratified and confirmed as being true and correct and are made a specific part of this Resolution.  Section 2. Findings, Intent and Need; Legislative Determination of Special Benefit. In adopting this Initial Fire-Rescue Resolution pursuant to Section 10.5-5ofthe Code of Ordinances of the City of Fort Meade (the "Code"), the City Commission of the City of Fort Meade hereby makes the following findings, intent, and need that (a) describe the Fire-Rescue service proposed for funding from the proceeds of the Fire Protection, assessments; (b) estimate the Fire-Rescue service cost; (c) describe with particularity the  1    proposed method of apportioning the Fire-Rescue service cost among the parcels of property located within the Fire-Rescue service area, as applicable, such that the owner of any parcel of property can objectively determine the amount of the Fire Protection assessments, based upon its value, use or physical characteristics; and (d) include specific legislative findings that recognize the equity provided by the apportionment methodology and specific legislative findings that recognize the special benefit provided  by the Fire-Rescue service:  1. The City of Fort Meade is responsible for provision of Fire Rescue  Protection Services within the City.  2.  Special assessments for fire-rescue services have been found valid by  Florida Courts. See Lake County V. Water Oak Management Corp., 695 So. 2d6 667 (Fla. 1997); South Trail Fire Control Dist. V. State, 273 So. 2d 380 (Fla. 1973); Fire Dist. No. 1 ofPolk County V. Jenkins, 221 So. 2d 740 (Fla. 1969); City of North Lauderdale V. SMM  Properties, Inc., 825 So. 2d 343 (Fla. 2002).  (B) Iti is hereby ascertained and declared that fire-rescue services provided by the city constitute special benefit to improved and unimproved real property based upon the following legislative determination that fire-rescue services are logically related to the  ownership, use and enjoyment of real property by:  (1) protecting the value of the improvements and structures by providing and  otherwise making available fire-rescue services;  (2) protecting unimproved property from brush and forest fires;  (3) protecting the life and safety of persons in the use and enjoyment of improvements and structures by providing and otherwise making available (4) lowering the cost of fire insurance by the presence of a professional and (5) reducing the threat that fire on vacant property will spread and endanger 3.

The Study provided for non-ad valorem assessments, and recommended 5. In order to impose the non-ad valorem assessments, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 09-09 establishing the Fire Protection non-ad valorem special  that the City modify its methodology for setting Fire Protection Assessments.  assessment pursuant to its home rule powers.  6.  Ordinance No. 09-09 was enacted following first and second reading at two  separate City Commission meetings and only after a publicl chearing ati the second reading. 7. The-ordinance relating to Fire-Rescue services authorizes the imposition. of non-ad valorem, assessments against real property which is benefited. by the City's Fire-  Rescue services.  8. The ordinance relating to Fire-Rescue services provides that the imposition of a non-ad valorem assessment to fund the costs of planning, permitting, construction, operation, maintenance, and administration of, and land acquisition for, Fort Meade's Fire-Rescue protection services is a necessary, equitable and efficient method of allocating and apportioning among, and collecting the costs for, the City's Fire-Rescue  protection.services among parcels that are benefited thereby.  9. The City adopted Resolution No. R17-08 on July 11, 2017, expressing its intention to use the Uniform Collection Statute and determining the need to levy  assessments to fund the cost of fire protection services within the City.  10. The City has developed a preliminary Fire Protection assessment roll which is incorporated by reference in this Initial Fire Protection Assessment Resolution. 11. The preliminary Fire Protection assessment roll will be timely submitted to the property appraiserand tax colectorinaccordance with the Uniform Collection Statute. 12. Upon the. adoption of this Initial Fire Protection Assessment Resolution determining the Fire-Rescue serviçe cost and imposing Fire-Rescue Protection assessments, the legislative determinations ascertained and declared by Chapter 10.5of 13.The. special benefits provided by the Fire-Rescue Protection services to all assessed property located within the Fire-Rescue service area include, but are not limited to: (i) protecting the value and integrity of improvements, structures and land through the availability and provision of comprehensive fire protection services; (i) protecting the life and safety of intended occupants in the use and enjoyment of property; (ii) lowering the cost of fire insurance by the presence of a professional and comprehensive fire protection program; and (iv) containing fire incidents occurring on land with the potential to spread and endanger other property and property features. The availability and provision of comprehensive fire protection services enhance and strengthen the relationship of such services to the use and enjoyment of the parcels of property, the market perception of the  the City Code are hereby confirmed, ratified, and implemented.  area and, ultimately, the property values within the assessable area.  #12233642v1    14. The Residential Property. Use Category includes such properties as single- family, multi-family, and mobile home dwelling units. Apportioning the assessed costs for fire protection services attributable to thé residential property use category on a per dwelling unit basis is required to avoid cost inefficiency and unnecessary administration, and is a fair and reasonable method of parcel apportionment based upon historical  demand for services.  The Non-Residential Property Use Category includes commercial, industralwarehouse, and institutional property uses. The separation of the non- residential buildings by actual square footage is fair and reasonable for the purpose of parcel apportionment because the demand for fire protection services, fire flow, fire fighters, quantity and size of apparatus, and other special firefighting equipment is determined and measured by the actual square footage of structures and improvements within benefited parcels. Based upon the findings outlined in the Study, it is fair and reasonable to place a 66,020-square foot cap on square footage of non-residential  structures.  15. The Fire Protection assessments authorized by Section 10.5-5, City Code, and this Initial Fire Protection Assessment Resolution provide an equitable method of funding the Fire-Rescue service costs attributed to non-goverment property by fairly and reasonably allocating the Fire-Rescue service costs to specially benefitted non- government property that is assessed property classified on the basis of the Fire Protection burden expected to be generated by the physical characteristics and use of  such property.  16. : The City has determined not to set or levy any Fire Protection Service Institutional Property whose use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation under Florida law provides facilities and uses to their ownership, occupants, and membership as well as the public in general that otherwise might be requested or required to be provided by the City and such property uses serve a legitimate public purpose and provide a public benefit. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Protection Services Assessments upon Buildings located upon such parcels of Institutional Property whose Building Use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation under Florida law. Accordingly, no Fire Services Assessments shall be imposed upon Institutional Buildings located upon a parcel of Institutional Property whose Building.  Charges against governmental property at this time.  Use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation under Florida law.  17. Any shortfall in the. expected proceeds from the Fire Protection Assessments due to any reduction or assumption from payment of the Fire Protection Assessments required by law or authorized by the Commission shall be supplemented by any legally available funds, or combination of such funds, and shall not be. paid for by  proceeds or funds derived from the Fire Protection Assessments.  #12233642v1    Section 3. Levy, Imposition and Computation of Fire-Rescue Service Assessments Against Non-Government Property. A Fire Protection Assessment is hereby imposed against all non-Government Property that is Developed Property within the Fire-Rescue Service Area.. The Fire-Rescue Service Cost attributable to non- Government Property shall be assessed against all Tax Parcels of non-Goverment Property that are Developed Property within the Fire-Rescue Service Area at a rate of assessment based upon the special benefit accruing to such Developed Property from the City's provision of Fire-Rescue Services, as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached to and. incorporated in this Resolution. The Fire Protection Service Assessment will be computed for each Tax Parcel of non-Government Property that is Developed Property located within the Fire-Rescue Service Area as set forth in said Exhibit "C."  Section 4. Levy, Imposition and Computation of Fire-Rescue Fees Against Government Property and Institutional Tax Exempt Buildings. The City has determined to exercise its discretion to not levy or collect a Fire Protection Service Charge against government-owned property at this time. The City has determined not to impose Fire Protection Services Assessments upon Buildings located upon such parcels of Institutional Property whose Building Use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation  under Florida law.
