Clerk explains revenue‑neutral mailers and schedules ARPA and budget work sessions
Summary
The county clerk told the commission that state‑mandated revenue‑neutral tax mailers are compact this year and explained the '2025 proposed' column reflects high estimates; she also scheduled ARPA and budget work sessions and noted follow‑up meetings with K Works.
County Clerk Lisa (last name not specified) told the Crawford County Commission on Aug. 18 that the county has mailed state‑required revenue‑neutral notices and that residents have called with questions about the small print and estimated figures. She explained the notices include a "2025 proposed" column that reflects preliminary high estimates submitted before budgets are finalized and that figures can be reduced before final adoption.
Why it matters: The mailer informs taxpayers of proposed property tax rates and triggers public budget hearings. Clerk Lisa said residents can call or visit the clerk’s office for clarification and that budget hearings are posted on the notice.
Lisa asked commissioners to schedule a 15‑minute work session with Brandy Ryan on ARPA funds and moved the fiscal‑year budget work session from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Aug. 19 to accommodate the ARPA discussion; she also noted a budget hearing for Aug. 22 at 10 a.m. Lisa reported she had contacted Colin Holthaus of K Works to arrange a work session about workers' compensation bids and proposed meeting dates in September.
Lisa said the state required all material on the mailer to fit onto a single page, which reduced the print size. She encouraged anyone with questions to contact the clerk’s office.
No formal action beyond scheduling was taken on these administrative items during the meeting.
