(KAIR)--Several public voices were heard Monday, as the Atchison City Commission held hearings prior to final action regarding next year's budget.

Some of the comments came during the public hearing held regarding the City's desire to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate, with unanimous approval ultimately granted for that resolution.

A public hearing, focused on the 2025 budget, followed, with Commissioners, at that time, discussing potential cost cutting measures for the future.

City Manager Mark Westhoff made budget related presentations during Monday's meeting, explaining, in part, that the budget is a good fit for the City overall.

The Commission, once hearings and discussion ended, approved the budget, which contains a reduced mill levy of 47.157, with total planned 2025 expenditures of more than $22.7 million dollars. Total assessed valuation is estimated to be more than $104 million for the 2025 budget, up 9% over the assessed valuation last year.
