Budget plan trims levy as 2025 spend details emerge
Budget Commissioner Patrick Kelly notes the mili levy reduction from the county administrator plan and emphasizes lower bills for many residents. The 2025 budget outlines 2.9 million for Fire Medical Station 6/7 expansions and ambulance replacement, 3 million for a compensation study, 2 million for market pay, plus funding for housing, health programs, and other departments. Consolidated Fire District No. 1 would keep a 5.5 mill levy with 2.1 million total, while contracts for inmate medical services shift to Turn Key Health Clinics. The agenda includes a JLEC remodel, a new sheriff contract, a 25th anniversary proclamation, and a 911 overflow memorandum with Ford County. The work session starts 4 p.m. in the Public Works training room with Zoom option.
