Board adopts three-year workers' compensation allocation formula
Summary
The St. Lawrence County board approved a resolution setting the workers' compensation apportionment algorithm for 2027–2029, continuing a risk-experience payroll model adopted in 2017 and formally moving away from real property tax valuation as a multiplier.
The St. Lawrence County Board adopted a resolution setting the workers' compensation allocation algorithm for 2027 through 2029, continuing the county's risk-experience payroll model.
The measure was introduced by Mr. Lightfoot and summarized by Mr. Button, who reviewed the county's shift away from a real property tax component in 2017. "We've been adopting this resolution since 2017 when we switched off of the formula that included real property taxes as a part of the algorithm and switched to the risk experience payroll model," Button said. The board voted to adopt the resolution without further discussion.
The resolution was presented as a routine three-year apportionment action: county staff said the formula must be set every three years and that the current approach cannot reinstate property-tax valuation as a multiplier. No statutory citations or external authorities were referenced on the record. The board completed the vote by voice and the motion carried.
