HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Board of County Commissioners will have its heavy lifting on the 2022 budget July 6 and 7.
"We begin at 8:30 a.m.," said county administrator Randy Partington. "Right now, the schedule has us going until about 2 p.m., with about an hour to hour and a half break for lunch. We don't have all of the fire districts scheduled. I'm not sure if all of those districts will be able to make it, but we'll have some of them."
The July 7 schedule will start at 9 a.m. and go until about 2:30 p.m.
"Depending on how those days go, the next meeting on July 13, the commission meeting, it will be a needed decision on what the maximum mill levy rate is going to be for the county."
The reason for that is the new revenue neutral rate legislation and its new notification requirements. Partington wants to know if the commission wants to cut deeply enough to guarantee that it will come in below the revenue neutral rate or if they want to go ahead and go through the notification process.
