Council approves first reading of ordinance certifying Mead County tax-levy estimate
Summary
On first reading the council certified Mead County’s estimated maximum tax dollars for 2026 at $445,000 for the general fund; the ordinance proceeds through the normal budget process.
Finance Officer Renee Baker presented ordinance 776 as part of the annual county tax-levy certification process required by state code. “For the 2026 budget for Mead County, we are estimated maximum tax dollars available of $445,000. That all goes into the general fund,” Baker said, explaining the certification is typically part of the budget ordinance but is being submitted as a separate, timely certification to county auditors.
Councilmember Davis moved to approve ordinance 776 on its first reading; the council approved the motion on roll call. Baker said final budget amendments related to TIF transfers and other items will come forward alongside the full budget ordinance at the next meeting.
