Venice City Council finalizes FY 2026-27 tax levy and budget

The Venice City Council will hold a public hearing to give final approval to two ordinances: one levying ad valorem (property) taxes for fiscal year 2026-2027, and one adopting the official city budget for that year. The budget ordinance also sets rules for spending and allows the city manager to make certain departmental transfers within approved fund budgets. This is the final reading of both ordinances.

Final adoption of Ordinance 2026-25, levying ad valorem taxes for FY 2026-2027
Final adoption of Ordinance 2026-26, adopting the official city budget for FY 2026-2027 (Oct 1, 2026 - Sep 30, 2027)
Budget ordinance restricts disbursements to fund budgets without Council approval
Budget ordinance grants city manager authority for departmental transfers within approved funds

You guys actually saw this property, not in its current state, but in its state before it was most recently painted. And just during discussion at, I believe, our last meeting, but they have come forward with a proposal. They do not have full plans yet. So you've got kind of a rough sketch to look at, but this will be more of a discussion. They would like to get a lot of feedback from you all.

Mr. Smith. Here. Mr. Weed. Here. Vice Mayor Bolt. Mayor Pachota. And we will stand for the pledge. I'll go ahead and lead it this morning.

Before we jump into 26-0672, I will let the city manager go ahead and kick us off with kind of where we're heading, how we're heading there. Thank you, Mayor. A fairly light agenda today, but we do have our directors here and, of course, our finance director. If there are any other remaining questions related to the building and eventual approval of our FY27 budget, we welcome those today. We will be giving you an update on the IT question that came up in our last budget workshop. We'll be talking about a couple of projects that were removed from the budget during our process just to be sure everyone's comfortable with that. We'll have an opportunity for any additional questions from council. And finally, we'll end with the discussion on the millage rate that's going to be set at the July 14th meeting. And we want to talk just briefly about the new legislation that was approved by the state related to the millage. With that, I'll just remind everyone at the July 14th m …

Good afternoon, this is the Advisory Board meeting in June. If I may use the prerogative of the seat to start the meeting off with just a few announcements. I had the opportunity to go Monday, and you were there, you were there, to this Northeast Park. And I was involved in it previously when I was chair of the Park Advisory Commission. Get there, my advice. It's absolutely wonderful. And we compliment the design company. We compliment the city, Mr. Clinch, and your team. It's a very, very, very well done, well designed park. And I went there Monday, and then yesterday I took Mrs. Ef ren over there, and it was packed with children and their moms and dad. And that is great. The pickleball courts are filled. I don't know how they argue who gets next and all of that. And I know that we may want to have an orthopedic surgeon sponsor them because I've heard of friends who have done those things, fallen. And I wanted to say this park is great. Secondly, Hurricane Guy. And if anyone in the audience doesn't have one, I will give you one. If the committee wants one, take them. These are excellent. I applaud you, Lorraine, for putting this together. People I've given to. It's fresh. The pictures are great. It's a reality of what we have been going through. It's an easy read. This looks professional. People love it. Fortunately, they have printed this, and it reinforces your hard work. Because one of the things that I've talked up here and you 've thought is don't put them just up in po …
