The Adair County Board of Supervisors today (Wednesday), set Feb. 26^th at 9:30-a.m., as the date and time for a Public Hearing, with regard to a Proposed Property Tax Levy. Adair County Auditor Mandy Berg said the Board discussed the proposal this (Wednesday) morning, as well. She said they are required by law to complete a Maximum Levy Budget Notice, hold a Public Hearing on the notice, and then approve by Resolution during their regular budget hearing. Berg presented the figures to the Board, which show the tax dollars raised this year was only a .95 (point-nine-five) percent increase in the General and General Supplemental Fund.

She said rural property owners would see a .25 (point Two-five) percent increase, under the proposal. In other business, Berg said Brenda Dudley, from Stuart, spoke to the Board about closing down White Pole Road for a few hours, on April. 18^th for the 2^nd Annual, “Bonnie and Clyde” Run/Walk from Dexter to Stuart.
