911 director to discuss proposed 911 use tax with county commissioners
Summary
Dr. Ken Scott, the county 911 director, attended and the commission discussed scheduling an in-person meeting or conference call to review a proposed 911 use tax; commissioners also referenced statutory timing and the need for public/board consideration.
Dr. Ken Scott, identified in the record as the 911 director, attended the meeting to raise the possibility of a 911 use tax and to request further discussion with the commission. Commissioners said they would invite Dr. Scott to present in person and discussed the prospect of a preliminary conference call with counsel and county staff to review legal and procedural questions.
Commissioners noted an email from an attorney named Ivan and discussed asking him and the county’s MAC attorney, Travis, to join a conference call. The transcript states the new law allowing collection was referenced with an effective window beginning in August 2025, and commissioners discussed whether the 911 board or the commission should coordinate timing and ballot placement.
No formal vote was taken on taxation during the session. The commission directed staff to schedule follow-up: an in-person meeting or conference call with Dr. Scott and to gather legal guidance so the commission can determine whether to put a use-tax question before voters or otherwise proceed.
