The Fernandina Beach City Commission on Sept. 15 adopted a final operating millage rate of 4.853 mills per $1,000 of assessed value during a special public hearing.
The session opened with staff reading the required truth-in-millage notice under chapter 200.0652(d), Florida Statutes. A staff reader announced the rollback rate as "4.4425 mils per 1,000 of assessed value" and that the proposed operating millage to be levied was 4.8530 per $1,000 of assessed value.
Commissioner Minsky moved to adopt the resolution on the millage and a commissioner seconded. The adoption vote passed 4-1. The commission then continued with consideration of the fiscal year 2026-27 budget.
City Manager Ms. Campbell, who presented the budget summary earlier in the meeting, told the commission the budget materials were available and staff would return to any line items as requested. The meeting record shows the commission followed the required public-notice procedure before voting on the millage.
The commission then proceeded to the budget adoption portion of the hearing.
