9 E P 111985 800 FAGE, The Vice Chairman announced that the purpose of this meeting is to consider and adopt the Final Budget for fiscal year 1985-86 and explained to those present the procedure that would be followed during the hearings on the various funds. He informed those present that tonight we have the capability of reducing the millage advertised, but cannot increase it. Vice Chairman Scurlock stated that because we had signifi- cant input from those interested in the MSTU for Vero Lake Estates at the first hearing and many of the same people are present again tonight, we will address that item first. He thereupon opened the public hearing on the Vero Lake Estates Municipal Service Taxing Unit. OMB Director Barton announced that the proposed budget for Vero Lake Estates is $58,650 for which it will be levying $15.00 per parcel/acre. There is no requirement over rollback because it is a new district. The Vice Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Truman Patterson, 8880 100th Ave., stated that he would stand by last week's statement that he still would like to see the drainage problems solved and then later talk about paving any roads. Herman Patterson, 94th Court, stated that he could go along with the drainage, but he still felt the paving should go under the petition paving program so that the people who benefit pay for it. He did not want to pay for what someone else will benefit from. The Vice Chairman noted we did have some modification at the last hearing because of the public input, and he believed the priorities and the amount of the assessment were changed signifi- cantly from what was first proposed. The recommended assessment of $50.00 per parcel/acre was reduced to $15.00, and the priority changed to drainage with a drainage study first and then some drainage improvements if any money was left. 6 � � I
