(KAIR)--The Atchison County Commission is in the final leg of finalizing the next fiscal year's budget.

According to County Finance Director, Mark Zeltner, the proposed mill levy, as it stands currently, means an increase from 51.564 in 2024 to 56.947 in 2025.

The public's chance to weigh-in on the budget will happen next week, with a combined notice of hearing given for the Commission to hold, first, a hearing regarding their intent to exceed the revenue neutral rate, followed by a budget hearing.

According to Zeltner, final approval of the budget will not happen until after those hearings are held Tuesday afternoon, beginning at 4:30, at the Atchison County Courthouse.

In a social media communication with constituents, Commission Chair Casey Quinn said she will provide literature at the session to help residents understand both the budget, and how the Commission arrived at the proposed, increased mill levy, adding that she looks "forward to the collaboration, communication, and participation" from the public.
