Wilton Manors Setting Financial Limits

By John Hayden

With a new budget year looming on Oct. 1, city commissioners are finalizing costs.

They voted on several important budget items during a budget-centric meeting on Sept. 12.

The rate is going up 10% to 6.4196 mils plus city hall debt service rate of .1782 mil for a combined rate of 6.5978. Several residents spoke out about the 10% increase and were joined in their ire by several commissioners. 

Commissioner Paul Rolli acknowledged reality, saying there’s not much that can be cut from the FY2024-25 budget. 

“We need to start looking forward, and we need to do some strategic and financial planning,” Rolli said during the discussion. “I don’t want to be sitting here a year from now talking about the same thing. We’re pretty much at bare bones, despite what everybody thinks.” 

The final rate and budget will be up for approval at a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 24.
