Um, — first — one consideration for presentation a treasurer's report for July of 2025. — Mr. Johnson. — As of July 31, 2025, the total cash balance is $78,529,28268.

The opioid abatement settlement fund is now set up and being properly reflected on the financial reports. The general fund balance is higher than anticipated

due to the receipt of approximately 3.56 million in insurance reimbursements to cover damages from the March 2025 hail event. This is nonoperating cash that will be and has already in part been expensed for repairs and replacements throughout the county in light of the event. All fund transfers from the general fund have been completed. Loading the other operating and debt service funds for the year. I have nothing else to report. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson.

All claims for all departments. — Motion to approve. — Second. — A motion and second. These are all the bills due and payable by Davis County Fiscal Court. Are there any questions for our treasure? — Hearing none. All those in favor signify

by saying I. — I. — C. Second reading of KOC A.10907-2025 an ordinance relating to the adoption of the 2025 Davis County tax rates. — Motion to approve. — Second. — And a motion and second. Mr. Johnson. The fiscal court is proposing to adopt the compensating tax rate and leave all other advalorum rates the same which results in a decrease from 2024's real property tax rate. The proposed rates are real property at 12.2 cents per $100 of assessed value, tangible personal property at 13.8 cents per $100 of assessed value, and motor vehicles and watercraft at 17 cents per $100 of assessed value. All other classifications listed in the ordinance are either derived from those written to the record or set by the state. This is the second reading and adoption. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Any questions or comments by the court? I just want to say thank you for your work on on uh setting our budget which helps us to operate under this these uh rates. And uh for those in the public u this is I believe I'm right the biggest tax cut

that we've that we've can gone back 25 years that we can substantiate and we believe it might be the biggest tax cut in 50 years. So, uh, all those in favor signify by saying I. — I — D. Resolution establishing 2025 tax rates for Green River District Health Department. — Motion to approve. — Second. — A motion and second, Mr. Johnson. — Per KRS2.755 section 3. Fiscal court must approve any proposed special ad valorum public health tax rates in order for those rates to be levied. This is accomplished by the Davis County Board of Health, which is the Davis County Public Health Taxing District, submitting a resolution to the court with their desired rates per the statute. The resolution requests that their tax rate be kept at 4 cents per $100 of assessed value for real property, personal property, and motor vehicles. In 2017, the rate was taken from 3.5 cents uh to 4 cents and has remained at 4 cents per $100 assessed value to date. I see no particular issues with their rate remaining the same.

— Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Any questions or comments for the board? — I failed to ask on the last item. Any questions or comments from this public hearing? None. All those in favor signify by saying I. — I. — E. 2026 grant agreement for the litter abatement program. — Motion to approve. — Second. — Got a motion and second. Mr. Johnson, — this is the litter abatement program grant funding that will offset our litter abatement expenses with our contracted vendor. This funding must be used for direct expenses as defined in 401k49080 section 3 incurred during calendar year 2026 that are associated with anti-litter control programs for litter cleanup on public roads as provided in KRS 224.43505 and to meet requirements established in KRS 224.43345. The amount of grant funding that we are eligible to receive will not be determined until after November 3rd of 25. This is an annual exercise and I see no issues. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Any questions or comments from the court? — No. — Any questions or comments from the public? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. — I. I.
