Æ.'- ■ ■ , : Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 3, 1996 - FIVE County Budget Committee completes budget By Morrow County Judge Louis Carlson The Morrow County Budget Committee put a Christmas wrap on the 1996-97 budget last Thursday afternoon. The bot tom line results of the four day budget marathon is a tax pack age to refer to the citizens of Morrow County that is iden tical to last year's total tax re quirement of $4,094,973. The total includes: the six percent increase from last year's tax base, which by Ore gon law, the voters are not ask ed to vote on; the amount of taxes that the county antici pates as uncollectable; and the Measure #5 compression. The bottom line result is that the voters will see an amount on their mail-in ballots next March of $3,160,155, which is $52,914 less than last year's one year special operating levy, Judge Louis Carlson said. Budget officer, Lisanne Cur- rin, summarized the near week long activity as "a great effort on the part of the budget com mittee'' to hold the line on any total tax increase. Commissioner Ray French noted that this is "a remarkable feat” in that the cost of doing business continues to rise and the demand for services con tinues to increase. French also noted that it is the court's challenge to sort our those non- mandated services that receive greatest public support and to find adequate funding for them. In his message to the budget committee Dec. 18, Carlson asked the committee to once again develop a budget and tax levy that met the requirements of county government by pro viding basic funding for the various deparments and agen cies who depend on government for sustaining their services. "This has not been an easy process,” said Carlson. "W e have once again put together a budget document that puts to work all of the tax dollars and other county generated reve nue with micro-managed care. I believe that we can succeed simply because our manage ment staff and employees are constantly finding ways to stretch those tax dollars each year.” 6 Year Breakdown of Morrow County Tax Levy Tax Base 1 Year Levy TOTAL 1991 696,552 3,876,629 1992 740,465 3,864,589 1993 784,892 3,903,866 1994 831,985 3,708,449 1995 881,904 3.213,069 1996 934,818 3,160,155 4,575,181 4,605,054 4,688,758 4,540,434 4,094,973 4,094,973 Morrow County Tax History 5.000. 000 4.500.000 4.000. 000 3.500.000 3.000. 000 _ rear Levy ® P une 2.500.000 2.000. 000 1.500.000 1,000,000 500,000 Tax Bata 0 1991 1995 1994 1993 1992 1996 MORROW COUNTY TAX LEVY 1996-1996 PUBLIC NOTICE FUMO $2.785.745 $84.000 $143.344 $2,559399 GENERAL 1,134.442 72,539 50.000 1.258,981 COUNTY SCHOOL 15,144 948 500 18,834 FAIR & RODEO 30,119 1,922 550 32,591 ROAD $ 4 , 094,971 $ 114,449 »2U.7M 43 , 741 . 12 « TOTAL NOTICE OF REGULAR MEETING The Morrow County Health District will hold it regular board meeting at 7 p.m. on January 8, 19% at Irrigon City Hall 220 N.
