County looking hard at budget, but keeping headcount for now

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Board of County Commissioners has advised Reno County Administrator Randy Partington to prepare for potential budget cuts in 2024, but at least to this point, that doesn't mean cutting jobs.

Partington responded to an email from Hutch Post on Monday.

"We are looking at all budgets to see what if anything can be cut," Partington said.  "Currently, we are not reducing positions through attrition. Reno County is not overstaffed and any cuts in positions will be felt by the public. The commission and I will be reviewing all options for a budget that continues to be conservative with taxpayer dollars."

Reno County held a job fair for current openings April 20. There are seventeen job descriptions currently listed at renogov.org.
