(KMZA)---The Nemaha County Commission has approved for publication a proposed 2026 budget that calls for total expenditures of more than $15 million and a mill levy increase.

It contains an estimated tax rate of 40.6 mills, which is 5.2 mills above the revenue neutral rate.

The proposed budget calls for the county to collect more than $9.7 million in tax revenue.

It's based on an assessed valuation of more than $239 million, which is a more than 4 million increase over last year.

The proposed budget includes a 3 percent cost of living raise for employees and an anticipated about one mill increase for employee benefits.

Commissioners say they plan to continue reviewing the budget for potential cuts before final adoption.

A hearing to consider exceeding the revenue neutral rate and to consider adoption of the budget will be held August 25 at 10 am in the Commissioner's room at the Nemaha County Courthouse.
