Second part of budget discussion at the 9/9/14 City Commission meeting...

Lots of important things to catch from this video. It starts with City Manager Bornstein talking about the relationship between the general fund, property values and how the city is absorbing increasing costs. He also talks about making electric rates on par with FPL and how many things are in the works concerning the operation of the utility. Vice Mayor Maxwell brings up some historical facts related to contributions from the utility to the general fund. That begins around the 2:30 mark. At 3:33 he talks about the highest rates on the planet. He finishes his comments by saying that we don't have the highest taxes around, we have the highest tax rate (5:50). Commissioner McVoy responds at the 6:24 mark.
