County passes $71M budget

County chief financial officer Samantha Richardson said the county could expect to collect as much as $3 million under the FLOST, or floating local option sales tax. By law, the county has to use what it collects in FLOST and reduce its millage by the amount needed to apply to property taxes that equals the FLOST proceeds. That expected $3 million could cut the millage rate by a couple of mills, Richardson told commissioners.
