County finds levy‑sheet error; corrected numbers reduce but do not erase multi‑million deficit
Summary
Staff discovered updated levy numbers were not entered into the county system; after the corrections and agreed budget trims officials reported the shortfall was reduced from roughly $2.1 million to about $1.47 million, and levy rates moved from about 11.06 mills toward 10.37 mills.
County staff told the meeting that new levy numbers had not been entered into the county financial system (Black Mountain) and confirmed corrections were now in place. The Chair said the original worksheet had overstated figures ("we had you guys at $622,250") and that fixing the error would reduce the shortfall by about $100,000 on the first sheet.
After the agreed line‑item adjustments and offsets discussed in the session, a participant reported a post‑reduction deficit figure of about $1.47 million. Staff committed to update Black Mountain, rerun the levy sheet that afternoon, and return with firm revised figures; no formal levy adoption occurred at the session. The meeting referenced mills calculations (previously shown as 11.06 mills and reworked to about 10.37 mills) and noted that some voted mills (e.g., 3.49) remain part of the county’s historical levy structure.
