4.1. Review of Budgets Presented to the Board as Requested
Rationale:
During the August 29, 2024, Special Meeting, Dr. Conradt presented a well-drafted budget (4% levy increase), that met all of SEM needs and any unexpected emergencies. A concern brought forth by Board Member, Jennifer Anderson, was the 4% levy was too low. She stated that if the levy needed to be raised in the future it would be more difficult to do so. I was asked to present several more choices than the 4% levy increase.
Attached are four budgets to review, 4%, 5%, 6%, & 7% increase in levy valuation. I have also attached a document that explains the actions the State Legislature has taken, since 2023, to provide property owners with tax burden relief.
