Commission delays final budget decisions pending fire/EMS and insurance figures
Summary
Commissioner Tom Harding said final fire/EMS and health/dental insurance figures are pending; the commission agreed to wait for those figures and additional accountant analysis before deciding on the final millage and budget adoption.
Commissioner Tom Harding told the commission final figures for fire and EMS costs are expected in early September and health and dental insurance costs are expected in late August. He emphasized those figures could alter reserve projections and the final budget.
Harding also noted that the draft budget is not built on future years and explained that taxes depend on assessed values in December, so any November ballot changes would not take effect until the following year. Commissioners asked to see accountant analysis and alternative millage scenarios once the outstanding figures arrive.
The commission did not take action at the workshop; staff will incorporate the pending figures into the budget and present updated analyses ahead of the adoption calendar.
