At the 08/28/24 Board of Directors meeting, the MCHD Board took into consideration the $2,941,317.00 increase in uncompensated care from prior year, which totaled $15,594,528.00. This was the main factor behind the decision to propose that the current rate of 0.228680/$100 be raised to 0.240911/$100.
The decision was based on the following information:
The MCHD Board then held a special called, open to the public, meeting on 09/11/24 to discuss the proposed 2024/2025 tax rate with the community. As there were no members of the public in attendance, the Board moved forward to adopt the proposed tax rate and the rate was adopted at the 09/25/24 regularly scheduled Board meeting.
Taxes received by MCHD offset the amount of uncompensated care the District receives each year. The verbiage "Maintenance and Operations" used in the legal notice are governmentally mandated. MCHD only uses taxes for the purpose of offsetting uncompensated care.
