The tentative aggregate millage rate is 7.1929, which is 5.32% above the current year aggregate roll- back rate of 6.8293; 2. The tentative aggregate millage rate includes the following millage rates: Countywide at 6.28 mills and 0.5000 mills for each Dependent Fire District; 3. the tentative M.S.T.U. voted debt service millage rates are: a. Gulfside Beachfront at 0.8537; b. Gulfside Interior at 0.765 and, c, Bayside at 0.7115. She reported that these stated millage rates are the maximum the Board may adopt, and compliance requirements will be measured with a vote of each adoption; therefore, there will be a roll call vote. OMB Director Herring stated some of the reasons for the increases are, as follows: 1. changes with the Sheriff's Office; 2. FRS retirement cost; 3. health insurance cost; 4. pay raises, 5. capital outlay; 6. IT Department; 7. Building & Planning Departments, and 8. E.M.S. services. She reported that each member of the Board has been provided a copy of the adopted tentative budget book and it was posted on the County's website as required for this Public Hearing. OMB Director Herring stated the insurance settlement funds from Hurricane Michael are being carried forward and reserved until the expenditures on those projects are decided. She reported the County continues to work on our growth and stability of reserves for credit worthiness for current and any future bond issues; in addition, noting the County must continue to cash flow the anticipated reimbursements for insurance deductible and improvements that are not covered by F.E.MA. or insurance.

County Administrator Hammond stated the County set aside $112,000.00 match money for the trails (at Salinas Park) and F.R.D.A.P. projects. OMB Director Herring discussed the three buckets of T,D.C. money: 1. beach renourishment funding; 2. regular T.D.C. promotional funding, and 3. parks and recreational funding; stating that money cannot be moved from one bucket to the other and each bucket has their own revenues, reserves, cash carry forward projections, and expenditures. She reported that the beach renourishment funding is fully committed for the foreseeable future for current bond issues, but also for environmental monitoring and requirements such as DEP permits and other biological requirements. County Administrator Hammond discussed reaching out to the County's Legislator’s to sponsor a local bill, like Walton County, to begin using a percentage for law enforcement, E.M.S. services, and fire. Discussion followed.

Board; 2. decrease of $648,100 in Fund 121 affecting Cash Carry Forward and expenditures; 3. line item adjustments for all funds to correct object codes and descriptions for expenditures; and 4. line item adjustments in Fund 001 to adjust reserves and expenditures to account for final adjustment.
