a third public hearing on our budget and millage because we were notified by the Florida
Department of Revenue of a technical error that we made in the budget summary
advertisement. That had to be corrected by holding another public hearing and giving an
adequate opportunity for the public to comment. We had to re-do that advertisement, and it
was published this past Sunday [October 16, 2016]. Today we are presenting to the
Commission a revised budget that has one correction and that is to the ad valorem millage and
it was a technical error and so we have fixed that and replaced the affected pages in your
book. All we need for you to do is the technical correction,re-adopt the millage,and re-adopt
the budget as corrected.
