The Reno County Board of Commissioners will hold a special meeting Tuesday afternoon to discuss a possible countywide sales tax.

The meeting is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, in the Veterans Room of the Reno County Courthouse at 206 West First Avenue.

Commissioners are expected to talk about whether to pursue a new countywide sales tax and the timeline required to place the question on the ballot later this year.

To meet that deadline, Reno County would need to submit a notice to the Kansas Legislature by Monday, Jan. 26.
