Supplemental Budget Message <br />23-0813 <br />Attachments: Supplemental Budget Message <br />Chairman Earman, before turning the meeting over to County <br />Administrator John Titkanich, announced the absence of Vice Chairman <br />Adams who was attending the Florida Association of Counties Policy <br />Conference. <br />County Administrator Titkanich, in his letter dated September 13, 2023, <br />highlighted on the budgetary changes occurring during and after the July <br />12th Budget Workshop. He noted the adjustment to the current year's <br />Sebastian Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) payment and the <br />anticipated increase in the Tourist Development Tax Revenues. He <br />stated staff had been notified by the Department of Revenue that due to <br />the recently passed House Bill 7063, effective July 1, 2023, an ordinance <br />imposing or levying additional Tourist Tax required a referendum during <br />a General Election on the increase. <br />County Administrator Titkanich concluded that since the budget had <br />been advertised and adjustments would be made after the Budget was <br />adopted, staff would bring back an ordinance on the reallocation of the <br />tourist tax. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 1 <br />
