The Hallandale Beach City Commission on Monday, Sept. 29 adopted a final ad valorem tax millage rate of 1.0934 mills for the Golden Isles Safe Neighborhood District, projected to generate $703,496 for fiscal year 2025–26.

The measure, presented by budget and program monitoring staff as item 6A on the agenda, passed on a 4–0 roll-call vote with Vice Chair Lazaro absent. Commissioners said the district is seeking to “create robust reserves” to fund improvements in coming years, language that appears in the staff recommendation accompanying the item.

The agenda noted the millage represents a 9.75% increase relative to the rollback rate listed in the materials (0.0996 mills). No members of the public signed up to speak on the item before the commission voted.

The commission then approved the Golden Isles Safe Neighborhood District annual budget for 2025–26 (item 6B) by the same 4–0 vote, and later approved committee and advisory-board minutes (item 6C) 4–0. The meeting record shows motions and seconds were made for each item; the transcript does not identify individual movers or seconders by name.

City staff called the meeting to order at about 5:19 p.m. and confirmed a quorum for the Golden Isles Safe Neighborhood District; the record also shows the commission called to order a meeting for the Three Islands Safe Neighborhood District and dispensed with the pledge and moment of silence to expedite business. The transcript does not record further substantive action on the Three Islands items in the provided excerpt.

Roll-call voting on the Golden Isles millage and budget shows four yes votes and no recorded no votes, abstentions or recusals. Vice Chair Lazaro was recorded as absent for the roll calls.
