Revenue Neutral Rate

Discussion: Mr. Tharman visited with the board about the Revenue Neutral Rate. Even though the preliminary numbers do not indicate the need to exceed the rate, if the county assessed valuations change and we have not voted to do so, the funding we would have received will not be available. The recommendation is to move forward with the notification to the county clerks of our intent to exceed the RNR.
