Board adopts county tax rates and levies; supervisors split 2–1
Summary
Cochise County supervisors adopted the set of county and special‑district tax rates presented July 7, including the Cochise County Library (0.1426) and Flood Control District (0.2436), with the motion carrying 2–1; one supervisor requested the county levy be broken out so they could vote against it.
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors on July 7 voted 2–1 to adopt the county and special‑district tax rates and levies shown in the meeting exhibit.
Staff explained these are the portions of the statutory tax‑levy forms under the board’s control and noted the board could act at the meeting because the levies were flat and did not trigger a truth‑in‑taxation hearing. The staff presentation listed rates the board adopted as presented: Cochise County Library 0.1426; Cochise County Flood Control District 0.2436; Golden Acres 0.3705; Knockos 0.4130; Porterville 0.4918; and SunSites Pierce 0.3871.
One supervisor requested that the county primary levy be shown separately so they could vote against it while supporting the other listed levies; staff said Cochise College and other special districts would be reviewed in August for board receipt and action. The board voted on the motion to adopt the rates and levies as displayed; the transcript records the outcome as "motion carries 2 to 1." The meeting did not include a named roll‑call of who voted which way in the recorded transcript.
Next steps: staff said the board will receive additional special‑district levy information (including Cochise College) at a meeting in August.
