Chair presents proposed levy-ordinance transfer, maintains 2.65% county tax rate

The Chair opened a public hearing on a change to the county’s levy ordinance, saying the proposal would “take 4 hundreds of a percent from the levy freeze rate and apply it to the lehi headed rate” while keeping an "unchanged total county income tax rate of 2.65%." The Chair asked, "Anybody lehi wish to speak on the lehi ordinance?" and then closed the hearing when no public speakers were recorded.

The Chair framed the change as an internal reallocation tied to current collections into the levy-freeze amount and described it as not increasing the county’s total tax rate. The transcript records the numerical phrase as "4 hundreds of a percent," a wording the Chair used on the record; the precise arithmetic or equivalence in tax points was not clarified during the meeting.
