Supervisors set EMS levy maximum at $0.75 per $1,000
Summary
After discussion of startup costs and financing options, the board instructed the auditor to set the EMS tax maximum at $0.75 per $1,000 of taxable valuation for fiscal year 2027; supervisors noted the rate can be reduced later if other funds are secured.
The Buchanan County Board of Supervisors voted to set the EMS tax maximum at 75 cents per $1,000 of taxable valuation for fiscal year 2027.
A supervisor moved that "we have the auditor taxed at 75 cents per thousand as we approved," a motion that was seconded and carried after a roll call. Board members said the advisory council recommended a minimum two-year period at that level and that the figure could be lowered in later years if grants or other revenues reduce the need for levy proceeds.
The motion sets a maximum; the board and staff still plan to revisit final levy calculations once updated fund-balance and capital-expenditure details are available.
