AGENDA ITEM NO. C.1 Item Cover Page DATE: September 15, 2026 SUBMITTED BY: Melissa VanDerwerken, Finance ITEM TYPE: Ordinances AGENDA SECTION: FY 27 MILLAGE AND BUDGET SUBJECT: Ordinance 2026-25, Adopting a Property Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 2027 - Second Reading and Public Hearing BACKGROUND: Each year, the City is required to calculate and set an ad valorem millage rate per Chapter 200 of the Florida Statutes, Determination of Millage. The Department of Revenue (DOR) developed forms DR420 and DR 420MMP to comply with the reporting requirements as well as to identify the approval vote needed by the Commission for setting the property tax rate. These forms are filed by the City to the DOR after the City budget has been adopted to demonstrate compliance. The City Commission approved the proposed property tax rate of 3.8129 in July that was just advertised on the TRIM notices mailed out to every property owner in the City for FY 27. The TRIM Notice provides a property owner with a comparison of the proposed property tax rate, the rolled-back rate (no budget changes column) and the previous year’s tax rate. The Tentative Property Tax Rate cannot exceed the Proposed Millage Rate. POLICY/PURPOSE: To adopt the tentative FY27 Millage Rate at the second and final reading and public hearing. STRATEGIC PLAN None, this is a regulatory step in the annual budget process. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM REPORT 4

RELEVANCE: ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: ANALYSIS / DISCUSSION The preliminary certification of taxable property value (as of January 1, 2026) was received from the Pinellas County Property Appraiser’s office by July 1, 2026. The City of Treasure Island’s total taxable property value for the FY 26 budget is $3,083,505,494 representing an increase of 3.9% from the prior year. Rolled-Back Millage Rate: The rolled-back millage rate is defined as the millage rate that would produce the same amount of ad valorem revenue as the prior year, exclusive of new taxable value. The FY 2026 rolled- back rate is 3.4649 mills. Tentative Millage Rate: The Proposed FY 27 General Fund Budget is predicated on approval of a millage rate of 3.8129 mills which is the same rate as prior year. Using a 95% collection rate, the projected ad valorem revenues of $11,169,243.. Establishing the millage rate at 3.8129 will require a 4 out of 5 majority votes of Commission because it exceeds the majority vote maximum property tax rate. The majority vote maximum rate is a calculation required by the state of Florida to determine the number of votes required of the elected body to levy a property tax rate. The maximum majority-vote property tax rate is roll-back rate. FUNDING: No immediate funding impact. MOTION: I move to approve Ordinance No. 2026-25, establishing the Fiscal Year 2027 Property Tax Rate for the City of Treasure Island, Florida at 3.8129 mills, which is greater than the rolled- back rate as calculated by the Property Appraiser office at the 5

second and final reading and public hearing. 1. Mayor shall open the Public Hearing and ask for comments on the establishment of the millage rate. 2. Mayor shall close the Public Hearing. 3. Mayor shall ask for a Motion. 4. Mayor shall ask for a second to the Motion. 5. Mayor shall ask for any Commission discussion. 6. Mayor shall ask for a roll call vote of the Commission on the Motion. 7. Upon approval of the motion, the Mayor shall announce: "The proposed millage rate for FY 2027 for the City of Treasure Island is established at 3.8129 mills. The Final Property Tax Rate is subject to a second and final public hearing that will be held at the City of Treasure Island City Hall on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 at 6:00PM."

While local parking com- pany 717 has a strong pres- ence mostly in Hillsbor- ough, ParkMobile reigns in the Tampa Bay region, from the Gulf Beaches through downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa. ParkMobile makes money by charging users a fluctuat- ing convenience fee, which costs, on average, 50 cents per transaction. This makes the platform an attractive partner to cities. The company doesn’t set parking prices. Instead, it provides tools to help local governments decide how much to charge based on data from roughly 70 mil- lion users in 900 cities. To gather real-time data, ParkMobile uses vehicles equipped with cameras that zip across cities to monitor congestion and the rotation rate. While ParkMobile is headquartered in Atlanta, Reliquet uses the app when he travels to visit his son at the University of Tampa or drives to Clearwater Beach. To save money, Reliquet rec- ommends scanning the app ahead of time to find the cheapest parking option before leaving home. “I’m a little bit of a last-minute person myself, so while I recommend highly to plan and antici- pate, I usually go there and find out, and then pay on the spot,” he said. The future of parking Does it have to be this way? Bob Ironsmith doesn’t think so. As Dunedin’s director of economic and housing development, Ironsmith said the city’s downtown has found success by prioritiz- ing a sense of place instead of maximizing parking rev- enue. This includes invest- ing in streetlights, brick paths, access to the Pinellas Trail and other features that boost walkability. Dunedin’s downtown core offers a number of free parking spaces in local lots and the Monroe Street Park- ing Garage. T h i s w a s n’ t a l w ay s the case. From late 2016 through late 2017, Dunedin experimented with parking meters around downtown. While paid parking became a positive revenue source, it also pushed away visitors, said Ironsmith, who did not recommend paid parking. After months of debate, including a seven-hour pub- lic meeting, the city reverted to free parking. “The public certainly shouted back out and said paid parking was just a deterrent ... something that just kind of ruined the vibe and the feel of our down- town,” Ironsmith said. “I want to be welcoming.” Nearly a decade later, the same debate continues across the region. In the past month, Sara- sota and Anna Maria Island have both hosted meetings to discuss parking prob- lems. After conducting a study, Anna Maria is mulling five new parking zones, includ- ing resident-only spots and a paid parking system. Manatee County has grown by 46% in the last 15 years, Anna Maria Mayor Mark Short said at an Aug. 31 meeting. Short-term rentals in the city increased from around 100 to nearly 800 in that same period. Aging infrastructure and a shortened slow season have contributed to the perfect parking storm. More than 150 people came to the meeting, with some sharing concerns about how the proposed sys- tem could impact local char- acter. “We welcome thousands of visitors every day, and we’re proud of that,” Short said. “Tourism is a part of our identity, but with popu- larity comes pressure.” In Sarasota, commis- sioners walked back the city’s new parking poli- cies — including expanded enforcement hours and paid parking on Sundays — after just a few weeks. The decision comes after extensive backlash from res- idents and business own- ers, who said the rules scared off potential cus- tomers and were hard to understand. The conversa- tion is expected to continue through the fall. As local municipalities search for answers, peo- ple who study and work in parking are optimis- tic about another possi- ble fix. Both Water Street’s Cooke and UF’s Steiner think self-driving cars could become a solution to Tam- pa’s transit and parking woes. According to Steiner, some modeling suggests that one autonomous vehi- cle could take the place of 10 driven by humans. Way m o , w h i c h j u s t launched in Tampa, has also expressed interest in expanding to St. Petersburg. Tesla Robotaxis are already roaming some parts of Tampa — although not without some kinks. When a Tampa Bay Times reporter recently tried to ride during a “high-demand period,” she waited two and a half hours before ultimately canceling the request. Until self-driving taxis or public transportation become more widely avail- able, many people who rely on their cars have decided to be choosier. Lara Cherup, a Brandon mother of two, said that when she got an annual pass for the Florida Aquar- ium in late 2019, parking was free for members. After being gifted another mem- bership recently, Cherup was bummed to learn that parking now costs $5 an hour. “The parking just kind of puts a time limit on it,” said Cherup, who gives her 7 ½-year-old daughter two hours to explore. “I could be spending that 10 bucks on Dippin’ Dots instead of parking.” The aquarium — which sits on the edge of Water Street, right off one of Tampa’s few public tran- sit options, the TECO Line Streetcar — isn’t the only expense that has worn on Cherup’s family. She notic- es the $40 garage fee for a Rowdies game and the $10 to $15 parking for the fairgrounds that used to be free. Cherup isn’t sure if she will renew her aquarium membership “just because of the hassle of parking.” “Everything has gone up in price so much,” she said. “To the point it takes the fun out of going.” Contact Gabrielle Calise at gcalise@tampabay.com or 813-591-0548.
