A. FY-21 Budget Discussion
The following was noted during discussions:
• The Committee makes budget recommendations; the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approves the budget.
• A determination should be made on the feasibility of a loan term payback of three
years, preferred by the budget department, versus the five- or six-year term originally
projected.
• A reserve fund should be established for future dredging projects.
• The $50,000 budgeted for Personal Services to finance Coastal Zone personnel
supervision of the project will potentially be eliminated.
• The MSTU’s finances are adequate to support an annual loan payment of
$350,000.00. Payment amount can be evaluated annually.

Chairman Cuny motioned to recommend a loan payment in the amount of $350,000.00
for three fiscal years, commencing in 2021, until the loan is paid in full. Second by
Mr Fantegrossi. Carried unanimously 4 – 0.
Millage Rate:
The M.S.T.U. has two options for the millage rate which is currently assessed at 0.30:
• Lower the current millage rate to establish a Revenue Neutral Policy, maintaining the
FY-20 income level.
• Maintain the current millage rate, increasing revenue equal to the Ad Valorem
property value increase assessed by the County appraiser.
Mr. Arnold motioned to approve maintaining a Revenue Neutral Budget for FY-21.
Second by Chairman Cuny. Carried unanimously 4 – 0.
