At the Board of Directors meeting on August 28th, 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 Moore County Hospital District Board of Directors then held a special called meeting on Wednesday, September 11th at 8:00am open to the public to discuss the proposed 2024/2025 Tax Rate. 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 September 25, 2024 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.
