Summary

The court scheduled public hearings for Sept. 10, 2024 at 9 a.m. to take public comment and consider adoption of the 2024 tax rate and the FY2025 annual budget; the court also agreed to hold additional budget workshops before the adoption date.

Following the tax-rate action, commissioners moved and approved scheduling public hearings for Sept. 10, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. for both the county tax rate and the FY2025 budget. The motions passed unanimously among present members. The court discussed and scheduled additional workshops to allow staff and commissioners to review outstanding items and to prepare the advertisements and required notices for publication.

The judge and staff emphasized that setting the proposed tax rate today establishes the not-to-exceed rate that must be advertised; subsequent work sessions can lower the rate before final adoption but cannot increase it beyond what was set at today’s meeting. Staff timelines were set for publishing notices and for follow-up work sessions ahead of the Sept. 10 hearings.
