Commissioner Meadows left the City Connnission Chambers at 6:11 p.m. Commissioner Meadows returned to the City Commission Chambers at 6:12 p.m. Discussion: Mayor Henson commented on two budget -related items, one being that the perception that many people have that City operations are funded mostly through property taxes that are collected is a misconception, noting that only approximately 6.69% of the City's budget comes from property taxes. He also called attention to monies designated in the budget for improvements to water lines in the English Estates community, which is outside City limits but is connected to the City's utilities system and the pipes are substandard and in need of replacement. Mr. Newlon clarified that the reason the pipes are considered substandard is due to having been part of a private utility system that was acquired by the City many years ago. Mayor Henson added that he felt the City Commission and staff should continue to work toward convincing Seminole County to allow the City to make the improvements utilizing the pipebursting method, which is less costly and less disruptive to the residents in the area. Budget Impact: The final budget requested for FY 2021-2022 for the City of Casselberry remains at $79,313,102.
