Adair County Auditor Mindy Schaefer reports the Board of Supervisors in Adair County, will hold a Special Session that begins at 9-a.m., Friday. During their meeting, the Board will hold a Budget Work Session, set the date for a Public Hearing on the FY 2019 Budget, and discuss future public meetings for the Elevator Board. On Wednesday, Schaefer sent the board a levy increase of 36-cents per $1,000 of valuation. A portion of the increase is for a new deputy, and the Counties’ takeover of Emergency Management funds, which are coming from the County now, instead of the cities in Adair County.

Schaefer has said the Board understands the levy is increasing, but they are committed to making the increase as small as possible, and yet still fund the expenditures.
