HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council will hold a study session with department heads on long-term budget priorities Tuesday afternoon.
City Attorney Paul Brown noted on behalf of Finance Director Angela Richard at their meeting May 16 that in order to make sure everything is done on time, they need to have these conversations soon.
"We should have done that about a week ago," Brown said. "We really need to get after that, because that's one of the first steps in getting the budget into play. It's not broadcast. It's a discussion and the department directors come in and visit with you about their projects."
The council will not make any binding decisions at the meeting, it's just setting priorities for what budget years certain projects and certain equipment replacements go in. That meeting will be at 3 p.m. on May 23.
