Commissioners approve notice to remain below revenue-neutral rate, set Aug. 31 budget hearing
Summary
Brown County commissioners voted to certify that the county will not exceed the revenue-neutral tax rate and set a public budget hearing for Aug. 31 at 2:00 p.m.; the motion carried unanimously.
Chair presented the published notice of intent to not exceed the revenue-neutral rate and explained the county—s budget changes are expected to keep the levy at or below that threshold. After brief line-item questions about specific department requests, a commissioner moved to approve the notice and set the budget hearing for Aug. 31 at 2:00 p.m.; the motion was seconded and carried with an aye vote from all commissioners.
Commissioners asked staff (the county clerk and treasurer) to provide simple explanatory language for agencies that inquired about small discrepancies between requested and published figures; staff said they would follow up and circulate a clarification to the affected entities prior to publication.
