BOOK 106 FAGE 4cy9 <br />; a <br />10. EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT MILLAGE RATE <br />County Administrator Jim Chandler commented regarding the recent discovery that <br />the Emergency Services District's millage rate is capped at 3.5 mills rather than 3 mills. <br />There appeared to be some confusion with respect to the 2.7 million dollars referred to in <br />the newspaper. That sum would be the value of one-half mill based on the current tax roll <br />but that does not mean the County has 2.7 million dollars to be allocated. In order to <br />generate 2.7 million dollars, the County would need to increase the tax rate by one-half mill. <br />Commissioner Ginn recognized and commended Bob Johnson, a member of the Board <br />of Directors of the Taxpayers' Association, who had made the discovery. <br />Bob Johnson, of the Taxpayers' Association, noted that he had verified the millage <br />by doing some research on behalf of the Taxpayers' Association and he complimented the <br />taxing district for holding the line on the millage rate on behalf of property owners. He also <br />noted how valuable the District is to the residents of Indian River County. He complimented <br />the emergency and medical personnel for doing an outstanding job and noted the fine job all <br />the volunteers do. The emergency services workers in South County support over 22,000 <br />people and do an excellent job. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br />11.B.1. AT&T WIRELESS SERVICES UALCOM, INC.)
