Summary
The Budget Committee approved a permanent tax rate of $1.4157 per $1,000 and local-option levies of $9.02 per $1,000 after a motion, second and unanimous roll-call vote. The vote was taken during a regular meeting where staff opened a public hearing on state shared revenue but no public commenters spoke.
The Budget Committee voted to approve a permanent tax rate of $1.4157 per $1,000 of assessed value and local-option levies at $9.02 per $1,000. A committee member moved the measure and another member seconded; the clerk conducted a roll-call vote and the motion carried unanimously.
The vote followed a brief presentation and instructions from staff about the scope of the public hearing on State of Oregon shared revenue. Committee members did not engage in extended debate on the rate and levies during the recorded discussion. "I make a motion to approve the permanent tax rate of $1.4157 per $1,000 and local option levies at $9.02 per $1,000," a committee member said when moving the motion; another member seconded the motion. The chair then directed the clerk to take the roll.
The approval sets the tax rate and levies as shown in the proposed budget documents. The committee’s action came as part of routine budget adoption items and was recorded as a formal motion followed by a roll-call vote. The meeting record shows the motion carried and the committee proceeded to the next agenda item.
