Commissioners adopt FY 2023-24 budget
ALBANY — Linn County Commissioners Roger Nyquist, Sherrie Sprenger and Will Tucker approved adoption of the FY 2023-24 budget Thursday morning.
The budget had previously been approved by the Budget Committee, which is composed of the commissioners, plus community members Jennifer Stanaway, Kerry Johnson and Mellissa Barnard.
The 2023-24 budget presented by Treasurer Michelle Hawkins will be $229,395,213. The General Fund tax levy will be $1.2736 per $1,000 of property valuation. The Law Enforcement levy will be $2.98 per $1,000 of property valuation.
The only major change between the time when the proposed budget was approved and Tuesday’s adoption was shifting $400,000 from the Contingency Fund to the Health Department to coincide with returning a portion of the county’s Information Services (IT) Department from a central courthouse location, back to the Health Department complex.
In other business, the commissioners approved an updated fee schedule that covers county services charges, from a single photocopy to the use of picnic shelters at Linn County Parks.
Linn County offices will be open to the public on Monday and will be closed — except the Sheriff’s Office — for the 4th of July holiday.
The Board of Commissioners will not meet on Tuesday, July 4.
