The Executive Director thanked the Chair and introduced Marion Gee, the Director of Finance,
to present the Agenda item #5 presented today.
The Director of Finance addressed the Board regarding the approved tax rates to be levied,
assessed and collected within the corporate boundaries of the city and the county. These rates
were based on preliminary estimates from the city and county entities. MSD has now received
those updated tax assessments and we are now required to adjust our tax rates. The
Ordinance 14247 is being presented with an emergency clause so that we may submit the
information prior to the October 1, 2015 deadline. There were no questions from the Board.
