Escambia Children’s Trust Approves Millage Rate and Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Escambia Children’s Trust approved both the millage rate and the budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The board set the millage rate at 0.3798, maintaining it at the rollback rate with a 0% increase, and unanimously passed the budget resolution.
The meeting began with a public hearing on the millage rate, although no public comments were made. The proposed millage rate of 0.3798 was confirmed, reflecting no increase over the rollback rate, which means that property tax rates will remain unchanged. This decision was made following discussions in previous committee meetings. The resolution regarding the millage rate, designated as 2025-15, was moved, seconded, and subsequently passed with a roll call vote, resulting in a unanimous 5-0 approval.
Following the millage rate approval, the board moved to discuss the proposed budget for the fiscal year 2025-2026. Once again, no public comments were received during the hearing. The budget, detailed in resolution 2025-16, was also unanimously approved by the board members present. The budget will be effective from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026.
