Eureka County sets public hearing on proposed tax-rate increase, delegates notice editing to Commissioner Plaskett
Summary
The board approved the form and content of a notice and announced a public hearing on a proposed tax-rate increase (minutes reference a possible $0.20 increase), and delegated Commissioner Marty Plaskett to edit the newspaper and flyer notices.
Eureka County Commissioners on March 19 reviewed and approved the public-notice form and outreach plan for a proposed tax-rate increase and announced a public hearing to consider the rate.
District Attorney Ted Beutel requested the board delegate Commissioner Marty Plaskett to serve as editor of the newspaper publication and related flyers; Plaskett accepted. The board approved the delegation (motion carried 2-0). The notice will include newspaper publication, a flyer to each post office boxholder and online posting on the county website, and the board emphasized the required notice and public hearing procedures under state law.
The minutes reference a potential twenty-cent proposed tax-rate increase and note that the board may still vote to approve or deny the rate at the public hearing. The board instructed staff to proceed with the public-notice process and scheduled the hearing as required by statute.
