Valley View Fire Protection District asks Madison County for two-mill increase; board directs staff to prepare resolution of intent
Summary
Marcus Goodloe told the board the Valley View Fire Protection District needs a two-mill increase (from nine to 11 mills) to cover rising operating costs; the board directed staff to prepare a resolution of intent and publish it for the next meeting.
Marcus Goodloe, president of the Valley View Fire Protection District, asked the Madison County Board of Supervisors on May 18 to consider a two-mill increase in the district's millage from 9 mills to 11 mills, citing rising operating costs.
"We are requesting a two-mill increase in our millage from a nine to 11," Goodloe told the board, and confirmed his board had voted to request the increase and submitted a letter to county staff.
County staff told supervisors that a two-mill increase is allowed under statute but requires a formal process: the board must adopt a resolution of intent at a future meeting and then publish the notice before the levy can take effect. The board moved and approved a directive for county staff (Mike and Greg, per the record) to draft the resolution of intent and include acknowledgment of the district's letter for consideration at the next meeting.
No final levy was adopted at the May 18 meeting; the action taken was limited to directing staff to prepare the required resolution and follow the statutory publication procedure.
