TRIM requires two public hearings from open discussion of millage rates and budgets of taxing authorities.  The first substantive issue discussed by the governing body of taxing authority is the percentage increase or decrease in millage over the rolled-back rate necessary to fund the budget, if any, and the specific purposes for which as valorem tax revenues, are being increased or decreased.  The general public is allowed to speak and ask questions prior to adoption of any measures by the governing body.  The millage rate is adopted first and budget is adopted second.  The total mill levy for the fiscal year 2017-2018 is 6.4380 which is .47 percent less than the rolled-back rate.
