Cloud County tourism budget request presented; Board appoints Janet Pearson and approves notice to exceed revenue neutral rate
Summary
Cloud County Tourism presented a $272,921 budget request for 2025; the Board appointed Janet Pearson to the Tourism Board and unanimously approved giving notice of intent to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate.
Susie Haver, representing Cloud County Tourism, presented a 2025 budget request of $272,921 and outlined expected carryover and transient guest tax income. Haver also requested a committee appointment after the Tourism Board accepted John Paul Breault’s resignation and recommended Janet Pearson to fill the seat representing the Brown Grand Theatre.
Commissioner Ron Copple moved to appoint Janet Pearson to the Tourism Board; Commissioner Michael Cleveland seconded and the Board voted unanimously to approve the appointment.
Separately, the Board unanimously approved giving notice to the County Clerk of the intent to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate, a procedural step required before adopting a property-tax rate that would raise more revenue than the computed neutral rate. The notice does not by itself change tax rates; it initiates the required public-notice process under state law.
The Tourism presentation and the revenue-neutral-rate notice were presented as discrete items; the record does not show further debate or conditions attached to the tourism budget request or the notice to exceed the rate.
