Summary

Following an IRS audit that reviewed Social Security withholdings and reimbursements, Flathead County commissioners adopted Resolution No. 2635 to establish an effective date for discontinuing Social Security withholdings for sheriff's deputies.

Flathead County commissioners on May 9 adopted Resolution No. 2635 to establish an effective date for discontinuing Social Security withholdings for sheriff’s deputies.

Amy Dexter of the finance department explained the county had undergone an IRS audit that reviewed Social Security withholdings and reimbursements and identified that the county never established an effective date when it earlier voted to discontinue withholdings. The audit requested a resolution be passed to set the effective date.

A commissioner moved adoption of Resolution No. 2635; the motion carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The transcript records the county’s action to set the effective date as requested by the IRS audit but does not include the chosen effective date text in the spoken record nor additional detail on impacts to deputies’ pay or reimbursement mechanics.
