Commissioners vote to keep Rural Fire at revenue-neutral rate

Seward County Commission · July 20, 2026

Summary

Seward County commissioners voted that the county will not exceed the revenue neutral rate for the Rural Fire district, a motion announced as moved by Commissioner Lauderback and seconded by Commissioner Vasquez and carried by voice vote.

The Seward County Commission voted unanimously to not exceed the revenue neutral rate for the Rural Fire district. A commissioner moved "not to exceed R and R on Rural Fire," the motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion passed after an affirmative voice vote.

Staff and commissioners discussed how the Rural Fire valuation is calculated separately and that leaving the mill levy at the calculated revenue-neutral level would hold Rural Fire's dollar revenues roughly steady unless final valuations change after protests are resolved. Staff emphasized that packet valuations currently include protested values and that final certified valuations will not be known until later in the year.
