Assessor explains how utility and railroad taxes are calculated: state issues amounts, county uses line mileage
Summary
Assessor Lena Kleeman told commissioners the state issues dollar amounts for utility and railroad taxes and that the county calculation is by line mileage; the entry documents the procedural briefing.
Assessor Lena Kleeman met briefly with the commission to explain the procedure for calculating the county's annual utility and railroad tax receipts. In the minutes she said "the state issues the dollar amounts, and it is figured by line mileage," indicating the county implements a state-provided allocation rather than calculating the dollar totals independently.
The entry is a procedural briefing: it records the method used to allocate utility and railroad tax dollars but does not list the specific dollar amounts or line-mileage totals for the county. Commissioners were informed of the existing administrative procedure rather than asked to vote on a policy change.
