The New Smyrna Beach City Commission will host its second and final budget hearing to review next year’s proposed $75,095,015 New Smyrna Beach Utilities budget and $200,737,965 city budget at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23. Other items on the agenda include maintaining last year’s operating millage rate of 4.673 mills and increasing the debt service millage rate necessary to purchase environmentally sensitive land within the Turnbull Creek watershed from 0.1115 to 0.1695 mills. Millage is a tax rate defined as the dollars assessed for each $1,000 of value; 1 mil is $1 per $1,000 of assessed value. Mathematically, the equation is: taxable value ÷ 1,000 x millage rate = property tax owed. Using New Smyrna Beach’s average home value as an example: $343,226 ÷ 1,000 x 4.673 = $1,603. All are invited to speak to the mayor and commissioners for up to three minutes each shortly after the meeting begins in the James W. Hathaway Commission Chambers at 214 Sams Ave. Would you like to know more?

Workshop on whether to allow passive recreation in Turnbull Creek conservation areas set for Oct. 21 • City of New Smyrna Beach New Smyrna Beach City Hall has acquired 251.6 acres in the Turnbull Creek watershed since 2018 when over 75% of voters approved spending up to $15 million to buy land zoned for development to instead set aside for conservation. Preserving water quality, wildlife habitat, and natural areas continue to be our primary objectives, and the only work done has involved removing invasive plant species, helping relocate unhoused people, and clearing firebreaks to better protect adjacent neighborhoods. On Aug. 31, members of the Turnbull Creek Land Preservation Committee, appointed by the City Commission to study the watershed and recommend parcels for purchase, expressed interest in improving public access to these new conservation areas via hiking trails, canoe & kayak launches, and other forms of passive recreation. All are invited to a workshop featuring a presentation by Natural Resources Manager Ralph “Tony” Miller that includes early concepts like the Bay Drive launch shown below followed by discussion at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21 in the James W. Hathaway Commission Chambers at 214 Sams Ave. Input gathered will be presented to the City Commission for further consideration. Would you like to know more?
