MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT (M.S.T.U.) Administrator Chandler announced that the Municipal Service Taxing Service Unit millage as reflected on TRIM notices is 1.6236 which is 7.01% above rollback millage of 1.5173. The proposed M.S.T.U. budget is $14,140,259 which is an increase of $1,139,847 or 8.77% over the current budget of $13,000,412. Administrator Chandler advised that 84% of the increase in this proposed budget is contained within fund transfers for law enforcement and transportation. This budget is to fund those services or expenses that are provided in the unincorporated area of the county only, as opposed to those provided in the cities. Chairman Macht opened the Public Hearing for the M.S.T.U. Fund and asked if anyone wished to be heard. Fred Mensing, 7580 129th St., Sebastian, questioned the 67% increase in the General & Administrative account considering the fact that we don't have that many people in the county. OMB Director Joe Baird explained that we do not have a large increase in our General and Administrative overall budgets, but there was a change in the allocation that affected this particular budget. It was based on a study May Zima did for us over 10 years ago which adopted a cost allocation plan for G & A charges. However, the overall administrative costs are not up. There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 95-106, establishing a tax millage rate for the Municipal Service Taxing Unit of 1.6236 for the fiscal year 1995-96. ON- MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 95-107, approving a budget for the Municipal Service Taxing Unit in the amount of $14,140,259 for fiscal year 1995-96.
