The Floyd County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing March 24 on proposed property tax levies, with Auditor Morrigan Montagne presenting revised rate figures and answering residents' questions. Campbell and Rottinghaus moved to approve the meeting agenda before Chair Gloria A. Carr opened the hearing at 9:06 a.m.
Auditor Morrigan Montagne noted, "the originally proposed tax rates of 7.748539 countywide and 10.84461 rural had already been reduced to 6.16384 countywide and 9.52306 rural."
