FY08 Adopted & FY09 Planned Budget
September 25, 2007
Osceola County, Florida
Gentlemen: In accordance with the provisions of Sections 129.033 and 200.0652, Florida Statutes, it is my pleasure to present Osceola County’s FY08 and FY09 biennial budget, which contains the adopted budget for FY08 in the amount of $935,436,722 and the planned budget for FY09 in the amount of $910,556,024.
In my role as your designated budget officer, I am required to present to you a balanced budget. The adopted budget is balanced in each of the various funds for FY08 as well as the planned budget for FY09. I believe it reflects your priorities and direction. This biennial budget is a zero-based, programmatic plan for two years that is results-driven rather than resource-driven. The five-year Capital Improvement Program CIP for FY08 through FY12 is also included in this document. The first two years of the CIP, FY08 and FY09, are included in the capital budget component of this biennial budget. The combination of a two-year budget and a five-year capital plan allows our community to look at a broad picture of how resources will be allocated to meet community needs.
County departments reviewed each of their programs and budgets were prepared based on careful consideration of the goals of the Board of County Commissioners, analysis of continuation and desired levels of service to our citizens, and the availability of resources in each of the two years. However, the dynamics of the budget development process changed on June 14, 2007, when Governor Charlie Crist enacted House Bill 1B HB1B, the first step of a two-part statewide property tax reform package. In general, the bill provided tax relief through a tax cut and implementing a cap for annual property tax growth. The property tax cap required that counties, cities and special districts rollback the tax rate to 2006-2007 levels. The tax cut required that the property tax rate be further reduced by a predetermined amount based on relative growth in tax revenues on a per capita basis from 2001 to 2006.
