Summary

County officials said a mathematical miscalculation caused final tax owed amounts to be understated on Tax Unit 1 coupons; the clerk will correct the clerical error and a state public statement will be issued.

Geary County officials said they will correct a clerical error that understated taxes on Tax Unit 1 statements under “79 17 o 1 g,” and the county clerk will issue a public statement to the state.

County officials said the final tax owed number was not carried into tax coupons because of a mathematical miscomputation. The error was described during the meeting after a prior executive session; officials said no action resulted from that earlier executive session.

“We're gonna correct a clerical error on tax statements under 79 17 o 1 g, where an error whereby the values or taxes are understated as a result of that mathematical miscomputation,” said Speaker 2, County official (unspecified). Speaker 3, County official (unspecified), added, “the clerk is gonna correct it.”

Officials said the issue affects Tax Unit 1 and that the county will work on a state public statement to notify affected parties. The meeting record did not specify the number of accounts affected, the dollar amount of the understatements or a schedule for when corrected coupons will be reissued; those details were described as to be addressed by the clerk and in the forthcoming public statement.

The county identified the governing legal reference for the correction as “79 17 o 1 g.” No formal vote or ordinance was recorded on the clerical correction in the portion of the transcript provided.
