HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council approved the city's 2022 budget again after it was forced to hold a special meeting due to an error in the original budget.
Director of Finance, Angela Richard, noticed shortly after the city's budget hearing September 7 that the Recreation Commission's mill levy was not part of the state provided publication form she used.
The State Office of Accounts and Reports told Richard that the rec commission levy did not need to be on the publication for the revenue neutral rate hearing, but staff believed the best action is to republish the form with the Hutchinson Recreation Commission levy included and hold a new budget hearing.
The corrected form was published September 17, so the additional meeting was held to adopt the corrected form and have another public hearing. Once again the budget was approved by a vote of 4-1 with Sara Bagwell casting the lone no vote.
