The Sioux County Board of Commissioners adopted the fiscal 2021–22 county budget and appropriations at a public hearing on Sept. 1, 2021, and set the county’s property tax request at $1,550,000, producing a proposed levy rate of 0.234053.
Commissioners Hal Downer, J.W. Geiser and Joshua (Josh) Skavdahl voted unanimously to approve the budget and a companion motion to allow an additional 1 percent increase in the base limitation of restricted funds. No members of the public spoke during the budget hearing, which the board closed at 1:20 p.m.
The board resolved that income to finance appropriations will come from unencumbered cash balances, non‑tax revenues and the tax levies authorized in the adopted budget document. Michelle Zimmerman, Sioux County clerk, presented the budget materials and the published “Notice of Budget Hearing and Budget Summary” that appeared in the Crawford Clipper/Harrison Sun on Aug. 25.
The action follows the board’s routine budget process in which department heads and elected officials submitted requests and the board held workshops earlier in the year. The adopted budget and the property tax request are available for public inspection at the Sioux County Clerk’s Office.
The board’s recorded roll call on the adoption read Downer, yes; Geiser, yes; Skavdahl, yes. The board adjourned at 1:45 p.m. after completing the required resolution filings.
