(KAIR)--The Atchison County Commission will hold a special meeting this evening, to allow for an additional public hearing prior to the one set for this coming Sunday.
Atchison County Commission Chair Casey Quinn, in a social media statement, says this evening's session, which begins at 6:00 in the Commission Room at the Atchison Co Courthouse, is being held because the County leaders "realize many Atchison County residents will be attending church services during [Sunday's hearing] and the [County] would like to provide an additional time this Friday evening at 6 pm in the Commission Room to hear from our citizens prior to our budget hearing."
Sunday morning's hearing, meanwhile, is scheduled for 10:15 in the County Commission Room, on the lower level of the Atchison County Courthouse.
Quinn, in the statement, says the Commission, after listening to constituents, has worked with staff to reduce the 2026 Budget from 68.951 mills ($15,832,586) to 59.201 mills ($13,593,751). Total reduction of 9.75 mills ($2,238,835).
