Grant County Treasurer Patrick Khan presented the county’s 2025 property tax bills and collection figures at the Dec. 11 Board of Commissioners meeting, explaining the assessor’s role in valuing property and the treasurer’s role in billing and distributing taxes. Khan highlighted that residential market‑value reappraisals are capped at 3% in most cases and that voter‑approved measures — notably a recent 4.1 mill school bond — have increased some homeowners’ bills. Khan added QR codes and pie‑chart visuals to the bill this year to help taxpayers see where money is allocated. Khan also reported first‑half collection numbers for the 2025 roll: $5,671,734.07 collected to date for that roll and a total collection percentage of 31.58% for the 2025 roll; countywide collections for the full roll were reported at 87.35% of a $116,139,644.86 tax base. Robert Whitaker, CEO of Hilo Regional Medical Center, said October operating revenue was about $9.4 million, expenses near $9.1 million and the monthly operating surplus around $400,000; year‑to‑date surplus was about $1.8 million. Whitaker outlined capital needs including replacement of a linear accelerator (end of life early 2028) and a $550,000 nuclear medicine camera request and said he is pursuing state funding through NMFA. The commission briefly convened as the Board of Finance and received an investment portfolio report from Treasurer Khan: combined market value of Martin Capital, Stifel and LGIP accounts totaled about $22,144,711.17 as of Sept. 30, 2025. Commissioners asked for more detailed holdings and advisor reports for the next quarter. The board also approved consent agenda items, purchases (a road department truck and a Ford F‑450 for public works), tabled an airport drainage RFP, and passed three resolutions (a budget adjustment and Chestnut Bridge funding among them). The meeting ended after commissioner reports and holiday announcements.
