BUHLER, Kan. — The Buhler City Council will take action on a petition that would annex 18 acres of land on the south side of the city for future development.
The land would be used for an industrial zone once all of the necessary hoops are jumped through. City Clerk Merrill Peterson says that the 18 acres of land is designated in the floodplain, which will have to be dealt with. Peterson says no firm plans for the land are in place.
Approval of the petition would be followed by formal action on a resolution to annex the land during next month’s meeting.
Also Tuesday, the council will go over some of the preliminary numbers in the budget. Like most municipalities and government entities, the city is looking to hold the line on the mill levy and is planning to hold hearings and provide notification of going above the revenue neutral mark as now required by the state. City Manager Merrill Peterson says the city financial picture is solid and better-than-expected sales tax revenue is helping with this year's budget.
Tuesday’s meeting of the Buhler City Council begins at 7 p.m. at the Buhler city offices at 219 N. Main.
