Rich Civic Times
GARDEN CITY-December 12,
2012- A couple from Sweetwater appealed to the Rich County Commission to
declare their home a primary residence and allow them a tax credit or refund on
the extra taxes that had been paid because their home had been declared a
secondary one. The Commission, upon
motion, granted this request.
Blaine Hamp asked that the
County renew the Forestry and Fire agreement for the coming year. Upon motion by the Commission, the agreement
was approved.
The Annual Budget Hearing was
held. The proposed 2013 budget was then
approved in the Commission Meeting. It
was noted that insurance would be increased by about 5 percent and dental
increased by 3 percent. A raise of 5
percent will be given to all full-time employees in order to bring the County
closer to the average wage earned across the state. Currently Rich County is about 14 to 18
percent lower than the state average.
There was an item exemption
approved and a green belt status given to a piece of land. Mike Madsen was approved as a member of the
special service sewer district. Members
of that board are currently Arlo Price, Richard Droesbeke, Paul Webb, Curtis
Moldenhuer, and Mike Madsen.
Also a tax credit was granted
for a low income exemption.
The Commissioners also noted
that individual sanitation bills will be sent to all families living in the
Sweetwater Trailer Park. This will begin
in July of next year and will bring this subdivision into line with the rest of
the County. The Yurts will also be
placed on the sanitation billing list.
The changes requested in the Addressing Ordinance were also approved by
the Commissioners.
