HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council will hold another budget session on Tuesday following their regular council meeting.
According to City Budget Director Angela Richard, last year, the mill levy decreased from 44.492 to 41.556 (2.94 decrease).
This year, the revenue neutral rate for the city, thanks to increased valuation, would be 39.104.
Richard said that in previous discussions, she has been told that the council would like to be somewhere between 39.104 and 41.556, but are undecided exactly what that should be.
Richard said that for now, it is tentatively set at 40.326 which is the middle point.
The city needs to make its decisions in the next few weeks to be on time to publish a budget and hold all the necessary hearings in August.
