Commissioners ask staff to return Newton Fire District tax-rate for May 26 public hearing
The Catawba County Board of Commissioners asked staff during a May 22 debrief to return the Newton Fire District tax rate for additional discussion and deliberation at the public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, May 26. The May 22 transcript lists the Newton Fire District tax rate among four items flagged for further review but does not include a proposed rate, revenue estimate, or which commissioner requested the item.

No formal action or vote on the fire-district tax rate occurred during the May 22 meeting. Staff were directed to include the item on the May 26 public hearing agenda, where commissioners may receive more detailed fiscal estimates and public comment before taking any vote.
