County treasurer reports revenue uptick; commissioners approve motor-vehicle clerk hire to budget
Summary
Fremont County treasurer reported property-tax and sales-tax collections running ahead of expectations and presented an annual warrant‑cancellation memo; the board approved advertising to fill a motor-vehicle/property-tax clerk position budgeted at $39,400.
Fremont County’s treasury update showed stronger-than-expected receipts in several areas and prompted a personnel request for a budgeted position.
Treasurer (identified in the discussion and thanked by commissioners) recapped revenue figures: general-fund property‑tax collections slightly over $2.2 million with a significant November increase; sales-and-use tax receipts and the local 1% infrastructure option are ahead of year-to-date expectations; gasoline and special-fuels tax receipts are broadly on target, though the gasoline allocation for the road-construction fund is running light compared with the anticipated amount. The treasurer noted mineral-tax true-ups and anticipated additional mineral money coming in December. The office also discussed PILT expectations and the status of Secure Rural Schools funding pending action in Congress.
As a routine annual action, the treasurer presented a memo on canceling warrants older than 12 months and described the unclaimed‑property process for affected warrant holders; the memo will be entered into the minutes as required by statute.
Personnel: The treasurer asked to advertise to fill a motor-vehicle/property-tax clerk position budgeted at $39,400 per year. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved posting the position with the stated budget cap.
What happens next: The treasurer will proceed with warrant-cancellation formalities and begin recruitment for the budgeted clerk position; revenue numbers will continue to be monitored and reported to the board.
