Summary
The Marion County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved FY27 levy rates and agreed to appropriate the FY27 budget at 100%. The board also approved moving two sheriff deputy salaries from the Rural Services Fund to the General Fund, a transfer described as roughly $200,000.
Kisha Jahner, Board of Supervisor Chair, opened a Feb. 19 special session of the Marion County Board of Supervisors to review FY27 departmental budgets and related fiscal items. After presentations by department representatives, the board approved levy rates for the coming year and agreed to full appropriations for the FY27 budget.
The board approved four levy rates as presented: General Fund (01000) at 3.29845, General Supplemental Fund (02000) at 2.05000, Debt Service Fund (40000) at 0.21981 and Rural Service Fund (11000) at 3.79698. Jim Mueller moved to approve the FY27 levies and Steve McCombs seconded; the board recorded the motion as approved. The meeting record states that, unless otherwise indicated, all motions were approved with Ayes: McCombs, Jahner and Mueller.
During departmental budget reviews, Drew Claseman presented Marion County IT/GIS requests; Chris Nesteby presented Marion Facilities; and Marion County Treasurer Michaela Bigaouette presented the treasurer's budget. After a short recess, Linsey Spoelstra presented a bundle of public-service budgets, including Marion County Public Health, Environmental Health, General Assistance, the Medical Examiner and Senior Nutrition.
Separately, the board approved a motion to move two sheriff deputy salaries from the Rural Services Fund (11000) to the General Fund (01000). Jim Mueller moved the transfer; Steve McCombs seconded. The motion was described in the record as equaling approximately $200,000 and was approved by the board.
The supervisors reached consensus to appropriate FY27 budgeted expenses at 100% and directed County Auditor Jake Grandia to prepare the necessary resolution for consideration with the budget. Chair Kisha Jahner thanked those involved in the FY27 budget process before the board adjourned at 10:55 a.m.
The minutes list routine procedural motions to recess at 10:15 a.m. and to reconvene at 10:25 a.m., as well as a formal adjournment motion; the record indicates these were approved by the full 3-member board.
