(KMZA)--Following a public hearing Monday, the Nemaha County Commission tabled adopted of a 2025 county budget to allow for further consideration of possible budget cuts.

Following a separate hearing, the Commission on a 2-1 vote adopted a resolution to exceed the revenue neutral rate of 36.168 mills. Commissioner Dylan Keim cast the lone dissenting vote.

Commissioners plan to go back and rework the budget to try to get it to the revenue neutral rate.

County Clerk Mary Kay Schultejans said multiple people attended the hearings, with three county residents speaking. She said they had questions about the valuation of the property they own in the county.

The proposed budget calls for a nearly 1.8 mill levy increase. It contains an estimated tax rate of 37.8 mills.

The budget calls for the county to collect nearly $8.9 in tax revenue. That's about $390,000 more than the county is expected to collect this year.

Schultejans said the Commission has until October 1st to approve the county budget.
