Goodhue County’s 2020 levy and budget will be finalized after a County Board vote in December. Before that, a preliminary levy will be set on Sept. 17. In order to set the preliminary levy, the board and heads of departments met Tuesday, Sept. 3, to discuss what needed to be cut, added and remain in the budget.
The levy proposed on Tuesday was $37,076,033, which is about a 3.01 percent increase from the 2019 levy. Only one item was agreed to be cut at the meeting: $50,000 for the county’s new drug court.
