    [00:00:43] Next item on the agenda is the final public hearing, Resolution 2019-16. [00:00:48] Resolution number 2019-16, a resolution of the City of New Port Richey of Pasco County, Florida adopting the final levying of ad valorem taxes for all non-exempt real and personal property in New Port Richey, Pasco County, Florida for fiscal year 10-1, 2019 through 9-30, 2020, providing for an effective date. [00:01:10] Thank you. I'll open it up for public comment. Seeing no one coming forward, I'll bring it back to Council. [00:01:14] Move for approval. Second. [00:01:16] To the maker? Nothing. To the second? Mr. Murphy? Nope. [00:01:20] In that case, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, blank sign. [00:01:25] If you'll allow me, I have a statement that must be read into the public record. Okay. [00:01:29] Florida Statute 200.065-2C1 prescribes that Council adopt the millage rate prior to adopting the 2019-2020 budget. [00:01:42] A notification regarding the public hearing has been provided to every property owner in the City by Pasco County Property Appraiser's Office. [00:01:50] This notification, in the form of the Truth in Millage Notice, was mailed the week of August 13. [00:01:58] Action requested is to re-adopt Resolution 2019-16. [00:02:05] The name of the taxing authority is the City of New Port Richey. [00:02:09] The tentative millage rate of 8.7500 mills is 1.44% less than the rollback rate of 8.8782 mills. [00:02:22] Total ad valorem revenues that will be generated are estimated to be $5,213,550. [00:02:32] That is approximately $300,000 more than what was generated in ad valorem in fiscal year 18-19 due to the increase of property values. [00:02:45] The millage rate is 8.7500 and is a decrease from the prior year millage of 8.9000. [00:02:55] Although the statute requires discussion regarding the percent increase over the rollback rate and specific purposes for which ad valorem is being increased for the record, [00:03:08] in our case, neither apply. At this time, it is requested that the Mayor invite public comment on the millage. [00:03:15] All right. Public comment? No. [00:03:18] We have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. [00:03:26] Opposed? Like sign. Motion passes. [00:03:28] Final public hearing, Resolution 2019-17. [00:03:31] This is Resolution 2019-17, a resolution of the City of New Port Richey of Pasco County, Florida adopting the final operating budget for fiscal year 2019-2020 [00:03:41] and the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2019-2020, providing for an effective date. [00:03:46] Ms. Manns. [00:03:47] Mr. Mayor, as you are aware, due to an error that was made in the advertisement related to the 2019-2020 budget,
