Summary

Finance presenter reminded homeowners that the Homestead/Farmstead application deadline is March 1; the board has already acted on the Jan. 29 tax-index item; district targets May and June dates for proposed-final and final budget approvals.

Missus Lentz reviewed statutory deadlines and the districts internal timeline: homeowners must file Homestead/Farmstead applications with the county by March 1 to receive the associated property-tax credit; Jan. 29 was noted as an important date related to the tax-index decision (the board previously adopted a resolution), and the districts latest possible date to approve a proposed final budget is May 31 with final adoption required by June 30.

Lentz said the district prefers to approve a proposed final budget by May 4 or by May 18 at the latest and would aim for final adoption by June 8 (preferably) though June 22 is an alternative. She also announced the next finance committee meeting is scheduled for March 16.
