(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners reviewed the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget proposals to finalize the advertisement for the public hearing when they met August 23.
Commissioners voted to approve the 1 percent additional budget authority allowed by state statute. A public budget hearing was scheduled for Wednesday, September 13, at 10 a.m. and a public heairng will be held the same day at 10:15 a.m. to receive input on setting the property tax levy at a rate other than the rate the previous year.
