The board considered and approved Resolution 2026-59 to adopt a tentative general millage rate of 7.5000 mills for the 2026 tax year. The Clerk read the statutory disclosure required for millage computation, including the rollback rate used in the calculation, and introduced the resolution for board action.
After the Clerk presented the resolution, the board moved, seconded (mover recorded as Commissioner Burrows; second Commissioner Goodfriend), and adopted the tentative millage by unanimous voice vote. The Clerk noted the rate is allocated to the general fund and exceeds the rollback rate of 7.1382 by 5.07%. The final millage rate will be set at a subsequent public hearing scheduled for Sept. 24, 2026.
