Du Bois County council discusses wage study and possible LIT changes; schedules follow-up meetings
Summary
Council members discussed a wage-classification review and potential impacts from proposed changes to the local income tax (LIT) code, noted a conference call scheduled for May 22 and a joint meeting with commissioners on May 27, and set budget-workshop dates (eleventh and eighteenth) to review departmental needs.
The council discussed an upcoming county wage study and potential local revenue impacts if the state changes the local income tax (LIT) code.
Members said they expect a conference call on May 22 to review job classifications and a meeting on May 27 with the council and commissioners to continue discussions. The chair and members stressed the need to meet with department heads and suggested two full days of budget meetings (proposed dates were the eleventh and the eighteenth) so departments have adequate time to present needs and the council can prepare budget projections.
The group also noted an informal district meeting about LIT scheduled for Tuesday, June 2, and emphasized the county must consider how to maintain services if property-tax relief reduces revenue. Council members discussed scheduling logistics and agreed to coordinate further details with department heads and external partners before the summer budget cycle.
