AGENDA ITEM # 9A
JULY 13, 2015
1. Taxable Value-The City has received the DR-420 from the property appraiser's office.
This is the notification of the taxable value for operating purposes we will base our
budget on. As has been done in the past, the City submits this form filled out with the
current millage rate. This means that the City cannot budget more than what the current
millage rate would bring unless we notify individually all of the property owners of a
change at our expense. I am reporting this issue to give the City Commission an
opportunity to express any desire they may have in raising the millage rate. If there is no
indication to do so, I will proceed as usual with the current rate.
2. The North Florida TPO, (Transportation Planning Organization) has prepared a
follow up from the June 23rd 2015 Beaches Bicycle and Pedestrian Focus Area Study Open
House at Jacksonville Beach City Hall. The North Florida TPO has posted the study maps on
their webpage. To make the process easier they have divided the maps in two sections:
north of Atlantic Blvd and south of Atlantic Blvd. The maps include explanatory notes.

3. Annexation progress-I have received word from the attorney tasked with obtaining the
required number of signatures on a petition indicating the desire of the property owners to
be annexed. The required number has been obtained. The final count should be available
this month and the required ordinance to finalize the process is being worked on now.
