The budget for FY98 totals $445 million and does not include any ad valorem millage
adjustment. The millage remains at 6.539 mills. The budget also contains a modest increase
in Water rates and the third $1 increase in Solid Waste rates needed to fund the McKay Bay
Refuse-to-Energy facility retrofit required by the Federal Clean Air Act. No other
significant fee or rate adjustments are being proposed.
