All of the council members said they would like to see a rollback millage rate, but in the face of city infrastructure needs, one council member said it might not be possible.

Palm Coast has drafted its first list of priorities for the next budget cycle, including a discussion on potentially adopting another rollback millage rate.

The Strategic Action Plan priority items provide a guide line for how and what items are prioritized in the new budget. Vice Mayor Ed Danko proposed a full millage rate rollback for the 2025 fiscal year, but the idea was met with skepticism from a few council members at the April 23 workshop meeting.

All four other council members said they would like to see a full millage rollback rate for the 2025 budget, but council member Theresa Carli Pontieri said the residents want improved infrastructure more than a "$30 decrease on property taxes."
