BILL. THEN MOVE TO OUR PUBLIC HEARING FOR TONIGHT ON IN THIS MEETING, OUR PUBLIC HEARING IS ON THE FY 2026 ANNUAL BUDGET AND THE PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE FOR THE FERRIS STATE SPECIAL SERVICE RECREATION DISTRICT. AND DENISE WILL BE PRESENTING THIS. SO THE PUBLIC HEARING PIECE, DO WE WANT A PRESENTATION ON THE PUBLIC HEARING PIECE. WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT IS SETTING THE PROPERTY TAX RATE AT 0.000909. FOR FAIRWAY ESTATES. IT'S A 10% PROPERTY TAX INCREASE. AND WE'LL BRING THEIR MONTHLY ABOUT MONTHLY ASSESSMENT TO BE IN PROPERTY TAX ABOUT 1999 A MONTH TO TAKE CARE OF THE OPEN SPACE. SO I BELIEVE THAT YOU'LL HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT WILL PRESENT TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I GO TO THE PUBLIC? COMMENTS. NO QUESTIONS, NO COMMENTS. THEN I WILL OPEN UP THE AUDIENCE FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS MOMENT, PLEASE COME FORWARD. NOBODY HERE MR. ANDERSON'S ANYBODY IN LINE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I WILL THEN CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING, AND I WILL MOVE TO DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNCIL OR MOTION. ACTUALLY, THERE IS THERE IS NO MOTION ON THIS ONE. THE MOTION IS THE NEXT TWO ITEMS. THE COUNCIL ASKED TO HAVE PUBLIC HEARING EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT REQUIRED. SO I CAN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I WILL THEN[a. Resolution No. 020 Setting the 2025 Property Tax Rate for the Fairway Estates Special Service Recreation District]
CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND DENISE, YOU'RE BACK UP. SO WE HAVE RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION NUMBER 020, SETTING THE 2025 PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR THE SPECIAL SERVICE RECREATION DISTRICT. CORRECT. SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO REMIND EVERYONE WHAT THE SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT IS.YOU CAN SEE IT HERE. OUTLINED WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1986. THERE'S 51 RESIDENCES AND FIVE OPEN SPACE PARCELS THAT ARE INCLUDED. THE TOTAL ACREAGE THAT THIS PAYS FOR TO TAKE CARE OF IS ALMOST EIGHT ACRES. AND THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IS 0.15. SO THIS OPEN SPACE WAS PROVIDED IN EXCHANGE FOR SOME SOME DENSITY INCREASE, AS THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IS PRETTY SMALL, THE PROPERTY TAX RATE WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS, LIKE I SAID, 0.000909. AND YOU CAN SEE ON THIS GRAPH FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS WITH THE PROPERTY TAX RATE HAS BEEN AND WHAT WE'RE WE'RE ESTIMATING IS THAT THE PROPERTY TAX VALUE OF THE PROPERTIES WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LAST TWO YEARS, WHICH HAVE ACTUALLY DECREASED IN VALUE. AND SO WE'RE ESTIMATING THE VALUATION AT 98% OF WHAT IT WAS LAST YEAR. AND THEN BASING THE REVENUE OFF OF THE TAX RATE. SO LIKE I SAID, THAT'S THE ADOPTED TAX RATE AND 98% OF LAST YEAR'S TAXABLE VALUE. IF THE VALUATION COMES IN DIFFERENTLY, WE WILL ADJUST REVENUE THROUGH A BUDGET AMENDMENT WITH YOU. BUT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE RATE AT THAT POINT. SO IF THE RATE IF THE VALUATION COMES IN EVEN LOWER THAN 98% WILL BE SHORT, A LITTLE REVENUE, BUT WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO JUST DO A LARGER INCREASE THE NEXT YEAR TO MAKE UP FOR IT. SO WE'RE DOING THIS AHEAD OF TIME BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR DISTRICT IS UNDER $20,000 OF ANNUAL REVENUE, AND THEREFORE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE THE SAME KIND OF TRUTH AND TAXATION PROCESS THAT THE GENERAL FUND WILL REQUIRE. SO WE'RE PROPOSING TO YOU TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 0 TO 0, SETTING THE PROPERTY TAX RATE AT THE RATE THAT'S PROPOSED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL. IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 020, SETTING THE 2025 PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR THE FAIRWAY ESTATE SPECIAL SERVICE RECREATION DISTRICT.
