Board allocates $0.05 from general fund to Fire District on proforma report; label change requested
Summary
The board chose the lowest proforma allocation option, moving $0.05 from the general fund to the Fire District reporting line and directed the proforma label read 'Emergency Services' when submitted to the Department of Taxation.
LaCinda Elgan presented proforma options to account for the county's Fire District on the Department of Taxation filing. Options ranged from $0.05 to $0.15; Elgan explained the tax rate would remain at 3.1191 and staff needed the proforma allocation to show how funds would be transferred from the general fund to the Fire District for reporting.
Chief Jeffrey Bushnell asked the label be changed to 'Emergency Services' rather than 'Fire District' on the report so it matches operational naming, while Elgan noted the label would need to be reconciled with the ordinance approved in 2024 if necessary. Commissioner Perez recommended the lowest option ($0.05) with the ability to increase later as development agreements increase revenues; Commissioner Zakas moved to approve the $0.05 option and to change the label to 'Emergency Services.' The motion carried unanimously.
