regarding the November Election.
5. PETITIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Gwen Denton, Lauderdale Lakes resident, spoke in regards to Ordinance No. 2012-15.
After the budget workshop in July, many individuals commented that taxes should not
be raised. Only one Commissioner supported that the tax not be raised. She
expressed that a Commissioner said that the City has money, although it has been
accepted that the residents will stay the course and the millage will remain the same.
There is confusion. If the City has money, then the Sheriffs Office should be paid, staff
should receive a raise and bring back contracts that were originally in place.
Eileen Rathery, Lauderdale Lakes resident, spoke on behalf of residents that are
struggling to keep their homes. The residents have a right to know about assistance,
such as the Community Development Block Grant. The hardening of homes keeps the
property values up. She expressed a concern that the funds allocated to assist
residents will be used for something else.
Judy Morris, Lauderdale Lakes resident, requested to work with the City to settle a lien
for a code violation cited in 2009.
Commissioner Williams asked for clarification regarding the lien.
City Attorney Brady suggested that, in accordance with State Law, the first order of
business should be the budget.
Commissioner Levoyd Williams made a motion to move Resolution No. 2012-111 out of
order. The motion was properly seconded by Vice Mayor Coleman. [see 9D. below]

There was a unanimous voice vote of approval.
Commission Meeting-October 9, 2012 Page 24 of67
Marie Elianor, Financial Services Director, stated that in accordance with Florida
Statutes 200.065 (2)(e)(1 }, the first substantive issue discussed shall be the percentage
increase in millage over the roll back rate. For Fiscal Year 2013, the City of Lauderdale
Lakes is considering a levy of 9.5 mills which is a 2.8 (%) decrease over the roll back
rate of 9. 7732. A voted debt service millage is also being levied. The final voted debt
service millage is 1.3683 mils. This debt service is applied specifically to make debt
service payments for the General Obligation Bond draws approved by a majority vote of
the participating qualified electors.
City Attorney darified that the 9.5 rate is 2.8% under the roll back rate.
Byron Maylor, Lauderdale Lakes resident, inquired about the value of the roll back rate.
He mentioned that, previously, the City borrowed money for operating expenses. He
wanted to know if the City would have to borrow money again.
City Attorney expressed that the roll back rate is a term which is statutorily created. It is
the rate, which applied to the value of the property in the community, would result in the
same dollar quantity of the prior year. If the City was at the roll back rate, it would be
higher than the 9.5% in order to achieve the same dollar value. The values in the
property, over time from last year, have fallen by about 3%. It would take a higher
millage rate to achieve the same dollar value as achieved last year. This rate, sticking
with 9.5 is 2.8% lower than what the roll back rate would be if the City set it to achieve
the same dollar quantity that was received last year. The City is bringing in less money
keeping the 9.5 millage rate.
City Manager Allen responded that this budget does not contemplate any new
borrowing. He expressed that Mr. Maylor is referring to the refinancing of an existing
loan.
Mr. Maylor wanted to know how the City would make up for the difference if the City is
taking in tess money. He wanted to know if the City will have to borrow money again to
make up for the shortfall.
City Attorney commented that, if the City lowers its expenses commensurate with the
budget, it will achieve a balanced budget.
Mr. Maylor said that he hears that the City is looking for raises for staff. Lowering would
be good mechanism.
City Manager Allen noted that the Fiscal Year 2012 Amended Budget was $15,747,343.
The proposed Fiscal Year 2013 Budget is $15,363,390. There's an overall net
decrease in last year's budget compared to this year' s budget by $383,953.
Expenditures have been modified across the board to reflect the decrease in the overall
assessments. There have been extensive budget discussions to go through the overall
budget which is recommended for approval.
Mr. Maylor asked if the budget takes the difference into consideration. If the values of
the homes are reduced further, the City may have to borrow again.
Commission Meeting-October 9, 2012 Page 25 of67
James Williams, Lauderdale Lakes resident, expressed that a special meeting was held
last year to discuss the budget. He wanted to know if it was legal to discuss other
commission items, along with the budget.
City Attorney Brady stated that, it is legal. The Statute requires a certain schedule and
there are calendar days that we cannot hold a budget meeting because it conflicts with
the School Board and Broward County Commission. The staff worked it into the
calendar so that we can have the second reading before September 30. It was
appropriate and convenient to hold the budget item on tonight's meeting. There's no
prohibition in the Statute from having the budget on the same night as a regular
meeting. The Statute contemplates that the first order of business will be the budget
and reading of the millage.
Mr. Williams commented that staff had placed the budget item down too far and it was
caught by City Attorney Brady.
City Attorney Brady responded that the City's Code requires a certain agenda order.
Ordinance on second reading are the first items on the agenda as contemplated by the
City's Code. Furthermore, resolutions are placed at the bottom. In order to accord with
State Statutes, the City Commission moved the item.
Mr. Williams wanted to know if moving the item out of order is legal.
City Attorney Brady responded yes, as long as it is done on a motion passed by the
Commission. That is the procedure followed at least for the past twenty -five years.
Mayor Russell dosed the public hearing. 'STM--12::-i - ~
City Manager Allen wanted to reiterate that the meeting was advertised as a public
hearing. JVuT o/\1 77-f;E A ~ D A
City Attorney requested that the advertisement be part of the record.
Commissioner Patricia Williams mentioned that the Commission voted on the millage of
9.5 at the last budget meeting. Her position is that taxes should be lowered from the 9.5
millage rate.
Mayor Russell requested a roll call.
