Board tentatively backs $20,000 levy increase for 708 board, contingent on final budget
Summary
The board approved a proposed $20,000 increase to the fiscal year levy for the 708 board contingent on finalizing the county budget and keeping the overall levy increase under 5% (truth‑in‑taxation threshold); the matter will be finalized at the board's Monday budget meeting.
Board member Norbert Saltwheedle asked that the suggested $20,000 levy increase for the 708 board be pulled from the consent agenda for discussion. He expressed concern about staying under the truth‑in‑taxation threshold and proposed approving the $20,000 contingent on the final budget keeping the levy increase under 5%.
The chair clarified that the full budget and levy will be adopted on the 24th (the Monday budget meeting) and that if the county cannot identify funds the proposal could be reversed. The board moved, seconded and took a roll call vote to approve the $20,000 pending final budget adoption; members were urged to attend the Monday meeting to comment if desired.
The motion carries as a contingent approval; final levy figures will be adopted at the scheduled budget meeting.
