THE ROSEAU COUNTY BOARD HAS APPROVED A PRELIMINARY LEVY INCREASE FOR
2027 OF THIRTEEN PERCENT. COUNTIES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A PRELIMINARY
LEVY AND BUDGET TO THE STATE BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER. THE FINAL LEVY
AND BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR MUST BE APPROVED BY THE END OF DECEMBER.
COUNTIES (AND CITIES) CAN REDUCE THEIR PRELIMINARY LEVY BY THE END OF
THE YEAR, BUT CANNOT INCREASE IT.
THE PROPOSED BUDGET, AT ABOUT THIRTY-THREE MILLION, WOULD BE BALANCED
WITH THAT THIRTEEN PERCENT REVENUE INCREASE. THE LEVY INCREASE WOULD BE
MITIGATED BY AN INCREASED NET TAX CAPACITY, OF ABOUT SEVEN PERCENT,
ACROSS THE COUNTY.
THE COUNTY BOARD’S GOAL IS REDUCING EXPENDITURES FOR NEXT YEAR, IN ORDER
TO REDUCE THE PRELIMINARY LEVY AMOUNT.
THE ROSEAU COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT WILL ADVERTISE TO HIRE A
MAINTENANCE OPERATOR, TO REPLACE MATT McMILLIN, WHO RESIGNED THE JOB.

TRANSPORTATION.
