2027 Real Property Reappraisal and Tax Pressures
The Tax Assessor presented new real property market value and present-use value schedules for the upcoming 2027 reappraisal cycle. A public hearing was scheduled for October to gather public feedback before final adoption.
Health Department IT Hardware Replacement Funding
The Health Department needed an extra $25,665 to cover rising hardware costs for its standard equipment replacement cycle. Commissioners approved the funds, mostly drawing from Medicaid reserves to prevent sudden computer failures.
State-mandated changes to physical exam billing
The state is ending flat-fee billing for medical evaluations, so the health department must bill CPT codes for DOT and employment physicals and route kids' school/daycare physicals through the Child Health clinic. Families that don't qualify for the sliding fee scale could pay up to $600 for a full check-up, and staff can't give an up-front cost anymore.
