Commissioner questions mill-levy math; staff agrees to correct brief
Summary
A commissioner flagged a suspected error in the budget brief's mill levy math (proposed levy shown as 38.004); staff acknowledged a possible tax-year vs. budget-year mismatch and said they would update the verbiage and numbers.
At the study session a commissioner pointed to the budget brief and said the mill-levy change did not appear to match prior-year figures, noting the brief lists a proposed levy of 38.004 that seems to understate the increase from fiscal year 2025. A county staff member said the discrepancy may come from mixing tax-year and budget-year figures and agreed to correct the verbiage and numbers in the packet.
The exchange focused on numeric accuracy: the commissioner said the increase seemed larger than the 1.824 percentage the brief showed; the staff member replied they would "mark that and correct that" and follow up with updated figures and verbiage. The clarification matters for public understanding because mill-levy math is a primary driver of taxpayer notices and the revenue-neutral determination.
