The Commissioners held an Open Record Public Hearing to consider the 2022 Grant County Budget
Adoption, Capital Facilities Plan Adoption, Making Tax levies and Setting Assessment Rates (Noxious
Weed). This hearing is being continued from December 6, 2021.
Madeline Prentice, Chief Accountant, gave an overview of the budgets: The total budget is
$197,059,012.00, using $4,503,200.00 from the reserve fund to balance the budget. Current Expense
budget is $52,165,414.00. The recommended removal of the 1% levies for Current Expense and the
Road Fund do not impact this. (Resolution No. 21 -124 -CC)
Damien Hooper, Director of Development Services, gave an overview of the Capital Facilities Plan for
2022-2027. (21 -126 -CC)
Commissioner Carter gave the overview of the increase to the revenue request for the Assessment
Rates for the Noxious Weed Board: (21 -125 -CC)
Irrigated Cropland 23 cents per acre
Dryland 09 cents per acre
Range/Scabland 06 cents per acre
Minimum Parcels $14.00 per parcel
Commissioner Stone discussed the 1% levy increase being proposed for Current Expense and the Road
Fund. He is not in favor of this increase since Grant County is doing well financially. Commissioner
Jones stated he is in favor of this increase. (Road Fund Zero % is Resolution No. 21 -127 -CC; Current
Expense Fund Zero % is Resolution No. 21 -128 -CC)
A motion was made by Commissioner Stone, seconded by Commissioner to Jones, to approve the 2022
Budgets, Capital Facilities Plan, Noxious Weed Assessments, and a zero increase to the Road
Fund/Current Expense levies. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Jones seconded and the motion passed
unanimously. (Resolutions signed are listed above).
