Summary

Platte County amended its senior tax-credit commission order to align with recent state changes and approved an amendment to the county's printing/mail contract, increasing the cap to $9,000 for SB 190 program mailings.

Platte County commissioners on July 7 approved modifications to the county's senior tax-credit commission order and amended a printing and mailing contract to support outreach for the program.

County Administrator Wes Minder told the commission that the county clarified the homestead definition to include the county parcel identification number so the assessor and collector can administer the program. He also said language excluding seniors who were not current on taxes was removed from the county order to comply with the final state law.

Platte County Clerk Jera Pruitt said the county is amending a previously approved printing and mailing contract to increase the maximum contractual amount to $9,000 so the office can send additional or supplemental SB 190 program mailings if necessary; the auditor certified funds are available.

The commission approved both items on a 3-0 roll call.

Why it matters: the changes clarify administrative procedures for the senior tax-credit program and ensure county mailings related to the program are funded. The record did not include the total program budget or the number of senior households affected.
