County commissioners set a proposed property tax rate of 0.3335 during the meeting and scheduled the formal vote on the final tax rate for Aug. 20. Commissioners also voted to set the proposed salaries, expenses and allowances that will be used in the budget notice and public hearing process.

The commission discussed the proposed rate and budget allocations; staff presented the figures used to compute revenue splits across funds. The proposed rate — 0.3335 — was described in the meeting as the county's proposed rate for public notice. The commission scheduled the hearing and final vote for Aug. 20.

Commissioners also voted to set the proposed salaries and allowances that appear on the budget documents; the motion to set those figures carried by voice vote. Staff said corrected payroll and insurance figures would be added to the budget worksheets before the final hearing.

The decisions set the parameters for public notices and the legal timeline leading to the final tax-rate adoption hearing; commissioners will revisit the numbers at the public hearing on Aug. 20.
