summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
Pursuant to State Statute 200.065, taxing authorities are required to adopt fiscal year tentative and final millage rates and a citywide budget at the first and final public hearings. At the public budget hearings, the rolled-back rate, the percentage of increase over the rolled-back rate, and the millage rate to be levied must be publicly read.
This is the adoption of the tentative budget for the City of Pompano Beach for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, totaling $431,373,685 (Excluding the FY 2026 EMS tentative budget of $32,164,940, which will be adopted during the EMS Special District Meeting) - Exhibit A attached.
NOTE: The budget reflected in this resolution is the Recommended Budget. At the July 22, 2025, City Commission meeting, staff was directed to identify options that would allow the Commission to decrease the City’s operating millage rate by 0.5%—from 5.2443 to 5.2181. A memorandum outlining actions that would enable the Commission to adopt the lower millage rate was transmitted on August 26, 2025. Those actions are not reflected in this resolution.
The City’s FY 2026 Recommended Budget Books are published on the City’s Budget Office webpage: https://www.pompanobeachfl.gov/government/budget.
Per State Statute, the FY 2026 Adopted Budget will be published on the City’s Budget Office webpage https://www.pompanobeachfl.gov/government/budget within 30 days of the budget’s final adoption.
