Kathy, a county presenter, told commissioners the county will place two resolutions before the board at a public hearing tomorrow to certify property tax levies with no increase over last year.

The presenter said the board had previously discussed a 0% increase and that the resolutions before the board tomorrow reflect that direction. No vote was taken at the briefing; the staff recommendation will be acted on at the public hearing scheduled for 9:30 a.m. the next day. Commissioners asked procedural questions about participation and confirmed the purpose of the briefing was to place the two resolutions on the agenda for formal action at the hearing.
