Commissioners approve increase to emergency management per-capita fee to offset state grant cut
Summary
Greene County commissioners voted to raise the county emergency management per-capita fee from 18 cents to 25 cents to make up for a reduction in a state grant.
The Greene County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 13 approved raising the county's emergency management per-capita fee charged to municipalities, townships and the county general fund from 18 cents to 25 cents per person.
County staff said the increase is intended to make up for a decline in a state grant that funds the Emergency Management Group; the reduction equates to roughly $21,000 in lost grant revenue and the fee increase is expected to generate approximately $23,000. "We're just making up the delta from the reduction in the grant from the state," a county official said.
The change was scheduled to be effective Jan. 1, 2026, according to staff remarks during the meeting. Commissioners noted the fee had not been increased since February 2012.
A commissioner moved approval and the board approved the measure by voice vote with ayes recorded.
