[0:01] Good morning, all. I will call the Thursday, September 3rd Board of County Commissioners meeting to order Chris, will you do roll call please?
[0:13] Commissioner Halls here, Commissioner Chilka.
[0:15] Here, Commissioner, I'm here.
[0:20] Commissioner Chilka, will you give me the system?
[0:23] All right, congratulations to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.
[0:30] One nation under God, and it is both with liberty and justice for all.
[0:37] Thank you, Greg.
[0:43] Public comment for those participating by a granicous, you may call 406-375-6513 in order to provide
[0:51] your public comment.
[0:54] And contracts for services, I understand we have none.
[0:58] All right.
[0:59] And our public hearing will start at 10.45 with the Sheriff's Retirement Levy Resolution 4808.
[1:11] We need to assess for six minutes.
[1:16] Okay.
[1:18] Okay, it is 10.45.
[1:20] We will begin with the Sheriff's Retirement Levy by a Resolution 4808.
[1:29] So, as you know, you're able to love the increase in share of retirement from the current
[1:40] percentage that is contributed compared with the base year, which I believe is 2017.
[1:47] So, the difference in those two years is 3.2%.
[1:50] percent, so you're able to levied that which this year equates to $149,826, which is
[2:02] 0.939.
[2:05] Mr. Chair, I move to a proven adopt resolution number 480, a share of retirement permissive
[2:13] levied for 3.2% increase in county contributions.
[2:17] Second, it's been moved in 2nd and 2 approved resolution for 808 Sheriff's Retirement for
[2:24] Missy-Guevee or 3.2% increase in county contributions.
[2:32] Is there any public comment on that motion for the discussion?
[2:37] question, Greg, and I vote as well, motion care.
[2:59] We will recess until 11 a.m.
[3:03] That's what
[3:08] we will reconvene with lighting districts by a resolution for 809.
[3:20] So we have to love you for the Carallas Victor and Westview lighting districts and it's based off the
[3:29] estimated expenses for the utilities for those districts, and then it's using the tax level
[3:38] value of the properties in those districts. So for 27, a Corvallis lighting will be 8.98
[3:49] bills. Victor will be $5.03. And Westview is $1.28 per front-to-front footage.
[4:01] Mr. Chair moved to approve Resolution 4809 for the lighting district, levees, as
[4:08] discussed. Second, it's been moved in seconded to approve Resolution 4809 for the
[4:17] lighting districts, levees in their valley county.
[4:22] Is there any public comment on that motion?
[4:25] Further discussion?
[4:27] Question Jeff?
[4:29] Greg?
[4:30] All right.
[4:30] And I will die as well.
[4:31] I'll go from the carries.
[4:36] But with that, we will pause until 11.15.
[4:46] You know, OK, we will reconvene with the physical year 27 elected
[4:52] officials salaries by a resolution 4810.
[5:00] The salary compensation board met on April 20, 2006,
[5:07] and they passed the various levels of funding
[5:14] for the elective issues that they passed.
[5:19] Ms. Chair, I'm moved to a program that does resolution 48, 10, a resolution, 7, and the
[5:25] salaries are elected officials for fiscal year 27.
[5:30] I'll second, as long as we have some discussion on the one salary on here.
[5:37] This has been moved in second.
[5:40] To approve resolution 48, 10, a resolution establishing the salaries of elected officials
[5:48] is there any public comment on that motion?
[5:54] Further discussion?
[5:57] Question Jim.
[5:59] I'm Greg.
[6:00] And I vote as well.
[6:02] Motion carries.
[6:06] Resess.
[6:07] We will pause until
[6:10] 130.
[6:21] We convened with
[6:25] our 2027 or
[6:36] In the next public hearing, the legal notices were placed in the newspaper record and printed August 26 and September 2nd.
[6:47] Thank you, Chris.
[6:52] So, commissioners, you're allowed to
[6:54] let me for medical insurance for healthcare premiums.
[7:01] And it also includes our de-in-loop payments that we make.
[7:06] So, it's based on their total cost for health insurance and de-in-loop payments.
[7:12] So for 2027 that total amount is 3,144,932 and 429 employees and that is compared to the base year of 2000 of what we paid then.
[7:28] So we are allowed to let the two million 616133 and that equates to 16.67 mills.
[7:43] Let's see the difference between 2000 and 27.
[7:48] It's outrageous.
[7:49] $393,000 in 2000 to $3.14 million today.
[7:57] Kind of a thousand percent of them.
[8:01] Wow.
[8:02] Mr. Chairman, move to approve resolution 4811, the permissive medical
[8:07] heavy for healthcare premiums.
[8:11] Second.
[8:12] It's been moved in second and two approved resolution 4811.
[8:17] We'll miss it medical level for health care premiums.
[8:20] Is there any public comment on that motion?
[8:24] Any further discussion?
[8:26] Question, Jeff?
[8:28] Aye.
[8:28] And Greg?
[8:29] And I will add as well, motion carries.
[8:42] We will pause until 11.45, and we will do final budget.
[8:55] All righty, we'll reconvene with the adoption of the physical year 2027 final budget by a resolution 4812.
[9:10] So commissioners by Percode, MCA Code 7, 64030, you have to adopt the budget by resolution.
[9:19] So, our final budget for fiscal $27, operating budget, the corporations are $47,185,627.
[9:35] We will be using property tax revenues of $20,031,340 to partially fund those appropriations
[9:46] And this equates to 127.9A.
[9:52] Those mills consist of the aggregate,
[9:55] levy, the road levy,
[9:59] boated levy.
[10:00] Ladies, the permissive, medical levies that we discussed earlier, and the entitlement levies.
[10:07] Mr. Chairman, move to approve an adopt resolution number 4812, a resolution adopted in the final operating budget.
[10:16] Instead of appropriation authority for the fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 3227.
[10:24] It has been moved in second and to approve resolution, 48, 12, a resolution adopting the final operating budget and setting up appropriation authority for the fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, of 2027.
[10:45] Is there any public comment on that motion?
[10:49] It's ready for the discussion,
[10:52] question, Greg,
[10:54] and Jeff, and I vote aye as well.
[10:56] I'll share the carries.
[10:59] The
[11:06] total non-tax resources.
[11:13] So that would be reserved?
[11:17] It's your non-tax revenues plus the resources available
[11:22] coming forward from the previous year.
[11:25] Is that total?
[11:26] of 35.9, so that plus the property tax revenues equals 55.9, which is the appropriations
[11:36] plus reasons.
[11:45] Okay, the next thing on our agenda is a creation of a large taxpayer
[11:49] reserved fund by a resolution 48-15.
[11:56] So this establishes fund number 2388, I think.
[12:04] I think it is, which is for the large tax payer reserve.
[12:12] So, with the change of legislature, we only receive 40% of class codes other than class code number four, which is residential commercial, but we can get 50% of that if we set up this large taxpayer reserve fund.
[12:33] So this establishes the setting up of that, and then so that we can receive those funds, and I think believe this year that you equates to that
[12:48] is around $7,000.
[12:52] And we can only use those funds if certain things happen with the large taxpayer leaves or greatly reduces their presence in the county.
[13:04] We can use those funds for certain things that it is guidelines and how we can actually
[13:09] use
[13:12] it.
[13:12] The chairman moved to a proven adopt resolution 40, 15 large tax payer reserve fund creation.
[13:19] I'm sorry.
[13:20] It's been moved in second and two approved resolution 48, 15 creating a large tax payer reserve
[13:27] fund.
[13:28] Is there any public comment on that motion for
[13:34] the discussion?
[13:37] Question, Greg?
[13:38] And Jeff and I will die as well. Motion carries.
[13:46] And that is at it. Nothing else today.
[13:51] Okay. With that, is there any public comment on items,
[13:55] otherwise on our agenda.
[13:57] Second, we are adjourned.
