HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Treasurer Richele Calvert will be at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Wednesday to ask for more help.
"The tag office they they do a great job the employees that we do have," said Reno County Administrator Randy Partington. "Residents if you go at the beginning of the month, end of the month, Mondays or Fridays you're probably going to wait a couple hours. The county treasurer has requested an additional person position to add to the tag line up front to hope hopefully ease some of that strain that's put on the taxpayers when they come in to pay their tags and taxes."
The tag office has the money to do this.
"That position is funded by the motor vehicle fund which is part of the fees when you go in and pay your tags you'll pay, I think it's a dollar fifty right now," Partington said. "All that money is then collected in a separate fund it's not property tax it's not tax levy fund so all those tag clerks are paid out of that fund."
The Board of County Commissioners meets Wednesday at 9 a.m. in the Veterans Room of the Reno County Courthouse.
