County budget flat for 2013 with looming shortfall
County Administrator Craig Weinaug says the proposed budget holds the mill levy steady for 2013 but prepares for a revenue drop due to overvalued property and expected state cuts. A 1 percent change in valuation roughly adds or loses $1 million, with worst case a $4 million gap in 2014. The plan notes higher 2012 valuations may exceed true value in some areas, allowing a tax hold for most property owners. The Tuesday session lists specific funding requests for shelters, tech, sirens, and sheriff positions as departments present their budgets. The open meeting, on the County Courthouse second floor, previews a squeeze once 2013 ends and 2014 budget pressures grow.
