(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has adopted the 2023 county budget as published.

The action followed a hearing Monday.

The budget calls for net expenditures of nearly $14 million and a 1.5 mill tax levy decrease.

The budget contains an estimated tax rate of 36.965 mills, which is generate nearly $5.9 million in local tax revenue.

Even though the mill levy will decrease, the county will collect the same amount of property tax revenue as for the 2022 budget due to a $6.3 million increase in the county's assessed valuation.

In other business, commissioners voted to close county offices Thursday morning from 10 to 12 noon to allow employees time to attend the funeral services for Richard Blanton.

Blanton, who served as county courthouse custodian from January 1999 until his retirement in June, died Saturday.

Commissioners offered their condolences to his family.
