This increase is due to value reassessments and not a higher millage rate. Notice is hereby given that a public hearing shall be held on the 21st day of July, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall, 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Milton before the Mayor and Council of the City of Milton at which time an ordinance pertaining to the fiscal year 2008 millage rate shall be sounded. A public hearing shall be held on the 4th day of August, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall, 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Milton for the purpose of presenting the millage rate for fiscal year 2008. A public hearing shall be held on the 11th day of August, 2008 at the same location for the purpose of adopting an ordinance pertaining to the fiscal year 2008 millage rate. These public hearings are in accordance with O.C.G.A. Section 48-5-32 et seq. All concerned citizens are invited to these public hearings.

Upon approval, this millage rate will be used in calculating residents' 2008 property tax bills, which will be mailed to residents around August 15, 2008. This is the same millage rate that was used to calculate 2007 property tax bills; however, because value re-assessments have raised the total digest by 4.02 percent, the City is required to advertise an increase. Because the City did not have a 2006 tax digest or property tax collections in 2006, it cannot publish the fiveyear history of its tax digest, property tax revenue and millage rate as is normally required. However, the City has published the information that is available for 2007 and 2008. (Note: While information for prior years is available for the NW Special Services District, the District included greater geographic area than was incorporated into the City of Milton. Thus, data for the Special Services District for prior years cannot be utilized as historical data for the City of Milton.) As required by State Law, the City will hold three public hearings at City Hall, located at 13000 Deerfield Parkway, to advertise and adopt the proposed 4.731 millage rate. The first public hearing and first reading of the ordinance will be held on July 21 at 6:00 p.m., with the second public hearing held on August 4 at 6:00 p.m. The final public hearing and second reading of the ordinance will take place on August 11 at 6:00 p.m., immediately preceding the Council Work Session. These public hearings are in accordance with O.C.G.A. Section 48-5-32 et seq. All concerned citizens are invited to attend these public hearings. Incorporated on December 1, 2006, the City of Milton is a distinctive community that embraces small-town life and heritage while preserving and enhancing the city's rural character. The City of Milton is committed to maintaining the unique quality of life for its constituents while efficiently delivering essential services to residents and businesses in an interactive community environment.

The proposed millage rate for fiscal year ("FY") 2009 totals 5.750 mills and represents a reduction of 0.498 mills, or -8.0%, compared to FY 2008. As detailed in the chart below, the FY 2009 millage rate levy represents the lowest millage rate levy in over 10 years. In spite of the reduction, the City will be required to advertise a property tax increase. Georgia law requires the City to compute a "rollback millage rate" that would produce the same total revenue after reassessments as had been received from property taxes in the previous fiscal year. Due to projected reassessments, the City's millage rate for FY 2009 will increase property tax revenues by 7.06% over the rollback rate, so by law a tax increase must be advertised. The projected tax digest for FY 2009 reflects historically large reassessments of the value of commercial properties by the Fulton County Tax Assessor. It is anticipated that many of these reassessments will be challenged or litigated. The outcome of those challenges could significantly reduce the tax digest. The City must adopt its annual millage rate by June 30; well before the resolution of any assessment challenges. To mitigate this issue, the City is not adopting the rollback millage rate. This action ensures that should material portions of the reassessments be reduced, the City can continue to provide the services its citizenry and businesses deserve while still providing for a millage rate reduction. All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on the FY 2009 Budget and Millage Rate levy to be held at City Hall, 2 South Main Street, Alpharetta, in City Council chambers on the following dates and times: June 12, 2008 at 11:30 a.m. June 12, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. June 19, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. http://www.northfulton.com/Articles-i-2008-05-29-172502.112113_City_of_Alpharetta_Millage_Proposed_to_Maintain_Quality.html http://www.northfulton.com/Articles-i-2008-05-29-172502.112113_City_of_Alpharetta_Millage_Proposed_to_Maintain_Quality.html ADVERTISEMENT FOR PROPOSALS CITY OF ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA Request for Proposal – Department of Public Safety Towing Services RFP No. – 08-6000 The City of Alpharetta Department of Public Safety is seeking proposals for Department of Public Safety Towing Services.
