(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has adopted the 2019 county budget as published, which calls for a more than three mill property tax levy decrease.
That came on a 2-1 vote Monday following a hearing draw comment from one county resident. Commissioner Tim Collins cast the lone no vote.
Susan Studer, who is a regular observer at Commission meetings, asked the Commission’s consideration in not granting employee pay increases and spending so much on roads and bridges. She would like to see the Commission also address other county issues.
The budget contains an estimated tax rate of 40.39 mills, with the amount of tax to be levied at nearly $5.7 million.
The Commission was able to lower the mill levy due to an about $11 million increase in the county’s assessed valuation.
Following an executive session, Commission Chairman Tad Geiger announced, with regret, the resignation of county Aging Administrator Joi Davies effective November 30th.
Davies has held the part-time position since October 2014.
The county will advertise to fill the vacancy.
