In October, Buckrail spoke with Teton County Treasurer Katie Smits, who is responsible for making the distribution schedule for SPET-funded items.
“When talking about the SPET election, the bottom line is that it may take eight years, or longer, depending on the economy and collections, to get all an entity’s money, so that needs to be understood going into this process,” Smits said in October.
Original estimates from the Treasurer’s office projected that all of the funds for the 2019 SPET would be fully allocated by Sept. 2024, but Smits now estimates funding will be allocated by the end of December 2023, making room for the 2022 items to begin receiving funds.
