Mayor Schreiber said this is a special meeting of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac
for the public hearings on the final millage and budget for Fiscal Year 2002. Florida Statutes

final public hearing begins, the City Manager has a statement.
1. ANNOUNCEMENT of the percentage increase (decrease) in proposed millage rate over
(under) the rolled -back rate necessary to fund the General Fund budget for FY 02 and the
specific purposes for which ad valorem tax revenues are being increased. City Manager Miller
said in accordance with TRIM, he is required to read the following statement: The tentative
General Fund budget of $30,347,128 is more than the Fiscal Year 2001 adopted budget of
$27,894,100. The City proposes to levy a millage rate of 5.9999 for General operating
purposes, which is a 4.97% increase over the rolled -back rate of 5.7157 mills. The proposed
Debt Service Millage rate of .5435 mills is a decrease over the current Debt Service millage
rate of .5768 mills.
2. PUBLIC HEARING on the final millage rate for FY 02. Mayor Schreiber opened the
public hearing. Burt Schneider, 8016 NW 72 Street, Tamarac said the advertisement in the
Sun Sentinel read as a notice of proposed tax increase, while at the last public hearing on
September 6th he was told there would be no tax increase. Mayor Schreiber and City Manager
Miller explained there is no increase in the millage rate, however Florida Statutes directs the
wording on the advertisement, and while Tamarac has not raised the millage it is possible that
other local government boards, such as hospital district and school board, may raise their
taxes. Hank Fuchs, Isles of Tamarac spoke about tax increases and economic development
revenue. Mayor Schreiber assured Mr. Fuchs there was no tax increase for Tamarac. Carol
Smith, Kids Voting Broward, Inc., 600 SE Third Avenue, Ft. Lauderdale, thanked the
Commission for their past support and asked them to favorably consider Kids Voting Broward's
request for $1,000 this year. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Schreiber
