BOARD PROPOSES THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF REDUCED MILLAGE RATES
Nassau County, Florida, July 24, 2023 – On Monday, July 24, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners held a workshop to review the tentative budget and maximum millage rate for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. Based on the budget presented, the Board is proposing a structurally balanced budget which includes the third consecutive year of millage reductions, while continuing to fund the critical capital improvement plan, pavement management plan, chip seal program, and improving public safety. Additionally, the budget provides for the development of a comprehensive stormwater management program to deliver a proactive maintenance program.
Understanding the community demands for parks and improved fields, the tentative budget also reallocates staff for additional field maintenance and continues to focus on improving the quality of life through the Parks and Recreation Department.
While still providing a reduced millage rate, the budget is structured to include additional funding for investment into land conservation and management programs, in line with the request from the community and pursuant to the voter approved referendum in November 2022.
As the County continues to be one of the fastest growing counties in both the State and the Country, this population growth requires additional service capacity to meet these demands. The Board understands these growing demands and has continued to focus on supporting public safety operations through the Sheriff, Fire Rescue, Emergency Operations, and Animal Control.
The Board’s engagement and efforts in the budget process through the annual winter strategic planning sessions; the development of the strategic plan, capital improvement plan, pavement management plan, chip seal plan, and forthcoming stormwater management plan; along with the annual review and updating of the guiding county policies, continues to result in smart financial planning. These actions also provide for a transparent and results driven budget process that focuses on reduction of the millage rates and improving services to county residents.
The July 24, 2023 budget workshop can be viewed online at www.nassauclerk.com/watch-meetings.
