Notice of Public Hearing | July 22, 2024
Pursuant to Section 6-1-80 of the S.C. Code of Laws, public notice is hereby given that the James Island Public Service District Commission will hold a public hearing on Monday, July 22, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. at James Island Fire Station 1 located at 1108 Folly Road Charleston, SC 29412. The Regular Commission meeting will follow. The District desires to increase the compensation of certain general fund employees in order to: (i) remain competitive in the labor market, (ii) fill existing vacancies, and (iii) enhance retention of current employees. While this increase was originally included in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget as an appropriation of fund balance reserves, the Commission has determined to levy additional millage to fund such increase in lieu of using fund balance. This amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025 budget will raise the General Fund tax revenue by increasing the District’s operating millage from 61.7 mills to 63.7 mills.
General Fund | Debt Service Fund | Proprietary Fund | Operating Millage | |
Original | $10,184,000 | $881,380 | $11,434,100 | 61.7 |
Additional Revenue | $245,400 | $0 | $0 | 2.0 |
Amended Revenue | $10,429,400 | $881,380 | $11,434,100 | 63.7 |
