The administration is recommending that the board approve the final Levy in the amount of 48,844,825 and this aligns with the what was presented at the uh hearing prior to the regular meeting this this evening.
We have not had any feedback on the presentation and I'll say this now for community members that may be viewing the board meeting on the presentation is my contact information. I have access to even pull property tax statements so sometimes I people have either come in if there's questions or concerns people have either come into the office or we've done it over the phone because it can be confusing even on on the property tax statements but I am definitely willing available for questions.
