The Wilson County Commission approves a measure to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate for the coming year and also approves the 2027 budget.

 

The decision came at the commission's most recent meeting. During the public hearing for the
RNR and for the budget, only one citizen spoke. That individual raised concerns about the increase in revenue for the county as compared to inflation and also stressed the need to keep the mill levy low. Commissioners went on to approve both measures, voting in favor of the 2027 mill levy of 66.590 for a budget total of just over $11.7 million.

 

In other business, commissioners also approved an agreement renewal with Schneider electric for maintenance of the courthouse HVAC system for $3,000, and also heard an update on the asphalt road repair project from Road & Bridge supervisor Kary Tatum.

 

The next meeting of the Wilson County Commission will be tomorrow morning at 9am at the courthouse in Fredonia. The public is invited to attend.
