Pink postcard printing contract to be considered by commissioners ahead of potential need

YORK -- On Tuesday, June 10, when the York County Commissioners meet in regular session, they will be considering a contract for printing the annual “Pink Postcards” later this summer – if they are needed.

​The Pink Postcard practice was mandated by state law a few years ago as a way to alert taxpayers if a taxing entity is going to increase its tax asking by more than 2% compared to the prior year.
The Pink Postcards include a date, time and location for a public meeting where the officials from the taxing entity talk about the increase.
These presentations take place right before the different taxing entities submit their final budgets for the next fiscal year – which is in late summer/early fall.
The commissioners will consider assigning a company to print these, if they are needed. The county has been using the services of the state print shop, which many counties use.
Also on Tuesday’s agenda:

• The county board members will meet with Elizabeth Hain from CASA as she makes her annual report and budget request.
• They will also consider a service agreement for a bridge on Road 3.
• The assessor will present the over/under report.

The public is encouraged to attend the meeting, which will start at 8:30 a.m., in the commissioners’ meeting room on the main floor of the courthouse, next to the clerk’s office.
