Votes at a glance: Carroll County actions on assessor budget and deputy pay
Summary
Summary of formal actions taken: approval of a $22,000 amendment to the assessor’s FY2027 budget after a public hearing, and approval of a motion to separate the chief deputy’s pay percentage from the assessor’s percentage.
This meeting recorded two formal, passed motions.
1) Approve FY2027 Carroll County assessor budget amendment (move $22,000 from reserves into assessment salary expense). Motion moved by the mayors and seconded by the supervisors; the chair summarized that a majority of school board members and mayors voted yes while a majority of supervisors voted no, and declared the motion carried. Named yes/no responses were recorded for several individuals during the roll-call-style vote but the chair provided a block-level majority characterization rather than a complete enumerated tally.
2) Separate the assessor and chief deputy pay percentages so the deputy's percentage does not automatically follow assessor increases. Moved and seconded; a voice vote was taken and the chair stated the motion carried. Discussion noted the chief deputy had been hired up to 85% of the assessor’s salary.
For both items the transcript records movers and seconders and chair declarations of passage; no additional implementation timetable or follow-up report was stated in the transcript.
