The Reno County Commission will meet Wednesday, at 9 a.m. in the Veterans Room of the Reno County Courthouse to take action on the 2026 budgets, including both county and special district funds.
A public hearing will be held on the proposed Reno County 2026 budget. Commissioners will hear comments on the proposed tax levy and use of funds, review the Revenue Neutral Rate (RNR), and consider Resolution 2025-26, which would allow the county to exceed the RNR if approved. Following discussion, commissioners are expected to adopt the 2026 county budget.
A second public hearing will focus on the 2026 budgets for Reno County’s special districts. Similar to the county budget process, commissioners will hear comments on tax levies, review the RNR for special districts, and consider Resolution 2025-27 to exceed the RNR. Adoption of the special districts’ 2026 budget is also on the agenda.
The commission’s consent agenda includes several infrastructure and policy items:
• Approval of a construction contract for a new EMS station.
• Approval of a $880,280 contract with Wycoff Construction of Saint John for a 4-inch waterline connection between the City of Hutchinson and Yoder Water District 101.
• Adoption of a new policy for the Reno County Special Parks and Recreation Fund.
The meeting is open to the public.
