Assessor explains one-time GIS/setup fee; salaries adjusted to resolution amounts

Chase County Commissioners · August 11, 2026

Summary

Assessor Tori Mueller told commissioners an increase in the GIS/EagleView/Vanguard budget line was driven by a one-time setup fee and part of a GeoComm communications fee being paid from that line. The board also reduced the assessor's official salary to the amount set by resolution and adjusted deputy and clerical lines.

Assessor Tori Mueller requested review of her office budget during the Aug. 11 budget workshop. Commissioners lowered the official salary line to the amount set by resolution and adjusted deputy and clerical salary lines to match authorized amounts.

Commissioners questioned an apparent increase in the GIS/EagleView/Vanguard line. Mueller explained that "part of the increase was a one-time setup fee that will not be necessary after this year, also noted that part of GeoComm fee for Communications was paid from this line." The board accepted that explanation and adjusted other budget lines as needed to better match actual recent expenditures.
