After Truth-in-Taxation hearing, board adopts 2024–25 budget and sets property tax rate
Summary
Following a Truth-in-Taxation presentation and public comments, the Granite School District board adopted the 2024–2025 budget as published and set the property tax rate to 0.006125; motions passed on roll-call votes with two members absent for final votes.
Budget Development Director Brian Ipson presented the Truth-in-Taxation overview, explaining a property tax shift and a frozen rate that increases capital local levy revenues and triggers the statutory hearing. Public commenters raised concerns about where the increased tax revenue would go and urged the board to consider alternatives. The board thanked patrons for participating and said it will review the capital plan implemented in 2017.
After the hearing the board voted to adopt the 2024–2025 budget "I move we adopt the 2024-2025 budget as published on the district webpage." and to set the property tax rate to 0.006125 (motion language recorded in the minutes). The motions carried by recorded roll-call votes: the budget motion recorded 5 yea, 0 nay, 2 absent; the tax-rate motion recorded 5 yea, 0 nay, 2 absent. Public commenters included Mike Ballif, Teague Wolfley, Michele Jones (GEA president), and Heather Manwaring.
