ranging from 0.8% to 4.6%. However, Police, Building, Development Services,Code Enforcement
Services, and Human Resources Services showed a decrease in services. The Police Department’s
decrease was associated with the hiring of five new cadets who underwent the cadet apprenticeship program and transitioned to full-time Police Officers. Two of these department performances
also slightly decreased compared to the previous year: Fire by 5.4%, Parks & Recreation by 7.5%.
Development Services increased significantly in FY 2022 by 43.8% due to increased City development and new building construction.
Looking ahead to projected FY 2024, Fire, Parks & Recreation, Development Services, and Human
Resources are expected to demonstrate optimistic increases in services, projected at 14.3%, 11.3%,
51.7% (under new leadership), and 10.8%, respectively. Other departments such as Police, Library,
Code Enforcement, Finance and Purchasing, Human Resources, Public Utility Services and Public
Works Services also show a slight increase in services. The Building department is the only one
department projecting a slight decrease in services due to the finalization of many new building
constructions the following year.
The economy’s high 6.5% inflation contributed to a decrease in estimated services levels in FY 2023
to 3.8%,down from 6.1% the previous year. Looking forward, FY 2024 projected data shows slight
decrease in services by 0.5%.
Considering the current economic situation, the City of Eustis is still recovering from economic
stagnation. The current economic outlook is not very positive, and it is anticipated that it might be
necessary for another two years to reinstate departmental effective performance to the standards
attained in pre-recession time.
