County Stays on 32 Hours in Taos County Plan
Taos County employees will keep the 82 hour week until July 1987 despite a 2.5x rise in property valuations. The state cuts the mill rate to prevent a single year tax spike, which may have funded reinstating full-time hours in October. Administrators seek a three twelfths cash reserve in the general and road funds, beyond the five twelfths emergency balance the state normally requires. Last year the county was allowed a three to four twelfths reserve.
