Commission approves level funding of FY2026 dues at $1.38 per capita
Summary
The commission voted by voice to level-fund fiscal year 2026 dues to FY2025 levels, approximately $46,000 countywide, at $1.38 per capita; a small-town minimum (floor) was also discussed.
The commission voted to level-fund its fiscal year 2026 dues to the same amount as fiscal year 2025. Staff said countywide revenue from dues is roughly $46,000 and cited a per-capita rate of about $1.38, with a small-town minimum (floor) historically set near $250 for the smallest towns.
A motion to approve level funding was made and seconded; Ross was identified as the seconder. Members asked for the precise number but accepted the motion as "level funding" for the vote. The chair called for a voice vote; multiple members responded "aye" and the chair declared, "the ayes have it," approving level funding at $1.38 per capita for FY2026. Staff said it will send a letter to towns confirming the dues level and noted that prior-year refunds impacted the apparent change in bills.
The commission did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; the outcome was announced as approved by voice vote.
