Chair Fred Clem reported an administrative error in applying Ordinance 248, series 2006, saying "No CPI had been added annually since 2023." The committee asked administration to correct the application for tax year 2026 and agreed not to penalize taxpayers for the lapse.
Chair Fred Clem told the Finance Committee he had discovered a problem in the application of Ordinance 248, series 2006. "No CPI had been added annually since 2023, as per ordinance language," Clem said, and he requested that administration take corrective measures to begin collecting the annual CPI for tax year 2026.
Committee members agreed by consensus that the failure to apply the CPI was an administrative error and that taxpayers should not be penalized retroactively. The committee directed administration to prepare corrective steps; the chair and staff did not record a formal motion or vote in the committee meeting minutes.
