July 28, 2026 - Special City Council Meeting

The City of Sebastian held a special city council meeting on July 28, 2026, primarily to reconsider the millage rate for the TRIM (Truth in Millage) notice. The council discussed correcting the previously adopted millage rate from 3.3339 to the accurate rollback rate of 3.3318 as established by the property appraiser. This adjustment was necessary to avoid advertising the rate as a tax increase, as the rollback rate represents no increase in tax revenue compared to the prior year. The council deliberated on the financial implications, noting that adopting the rollback rate would result in a slight tax decrease for homeowners, with an estimated difference of a few dollars per average home. The motion to reconsider and then adopt the corrected rollback millage rate passed unanimously. No other procurement or budget allocation items were discussed during the meeting.
