[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.
