Winter Park City Commission meeting set for Aug. 28

World renowned architect David Adjaye is working up a proposal for the city's new library/event center, which is expected to go before the City Commission next month.

Commissioners will host a discussion about the facility at today's meeting, though the details aren't available in the agenda.

The same goes for a budget discussion slated for today's agenda. Last month Winter Park commissioners voted keep the city’s tentative millage rate the same for the 10th consecutive year.

The rate of 4.0923 has been in place for the past nine years and represents $4.09 in property tax for each $1,000 of taxable value. 

City Commissioner Peter Weldon moved to lower the operating millage rate to “a number that reflects a reduction in total property tax revenue of $500,000 from the presented budget.”

That motion failed in a vote, while the current millage rate passed 3-2.

The rate still can be lowered prior to the approval of the budget, which is scheduled for Sept. 25.
