County Council works to balance 2010 budget

Wednesday, 19 August 2009 00:00
Members of the Washington County Council met in marathon sessions on Monday, August 10, and Tuesday, August 11, to hammer out the details of a proposed 2010 county budget. Citizens will be asked to give input on the $6.5 million proposed budget at a public hearing meeting scheduled for September 22. During the two days of discussion, debate, and decision making, four issues seemed to consume the attention of council members much more than others on their agenda. First, concerns about the cost of the state-mandated property reassessment were relayed to the council by Washington County Assessor Jason Cockerill. According to Cockerill, the Reassessment Fund has been used to pay for other expenses not involved in the reassessment process. If that practice continues, Cockerill warned the council that in the event the state mandates a rolling reassessment beginning in 2012, the fund will not have enough to cover the cost. Cockerill explained that the state is considering very strongly the option of requiring 25 per cent of all property be reassessed each year to keep the information more current than it is now. In other words, property reassessment would be an ongoing activity in the county. The council acted on Cockerill's advice and transferred some expenses to other line items and increased the amount to be set aside for upcoming reassessment expenses.
