HR County Commission To Receive Revenue Options Soon

Hood River County staff expects to present County Commissioners options to generate revenue to deal with an ever-tightening budget.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel expects to provide commissioners with options in the next 30 days.  He adds two options being looked at it are a limited scope sales tax to generate more revenue from tourists in the area, and a public safety district.  Commission Chair Ron Rivers has been warning of substantial cuts in county services if a new source of revenue is not developed, adding property tax growth is limited by Measure 5 laws and forest receipts can’t keep pace with cost increases.
