Commission approves placing 1‑mill hospital levy question on Nov. ballot
Summary
The commission voted to place Resolution 2025‑41 — a four‑year, 1‑mill property tax question to support the hospital (effective 2026) — on the Nov. 4 ballot; staff presented a revenue projection of roughly $6.7 million over four years based on a 3% growth assumption.
County staff presented Resolution 2025‑41 to place a one‑mill property tax question on the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot to support hospital operations beginning in calendar year 2026. Jared Jaramillo explained the resolution and circulated revenue figures from 2021–2024 and a conservative projection for 2026–2029 based on a 3% annual growth rate; Commissioner Vigil read the four‑year total as "$6,700,000 approximately" for the record.
Commissioners discussed the sunset language (the levy would run for four years and require voter renewal to continue) and the framing of the ballot question. Commissioner Vigil moved to approve Resolution 2025‑41 for placement on the ballot; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
