The Atchison County Commission set its budget hearing for Sunday, Sept. 21, at 10:15 a.m., during a brief special meeting on Sept. 6. The hearing will be held in the Commission Room with a Zoom link available.

The presiding official said the date was chosen "based on the timeline presented" to meet legal publishing and notice requirements and to allow working residents an opportunity to attend. The commission approved placing the budget-hearing date on the calendar by voice vote, recorded as passing 3 to 0.

Commissioners present were Commissioner Quinn and Commissioner Knoll (both joining via Zoom) and Commissioner Campbell. The county clerk conducted roll call; county staff monitored the Zoom link and reported no public comments were received during the meeting.

The meeting opened with roll call and the Pledge of Allegiance. The commission first approved the meeting agenda, including the new-business item on the budget hearing date, by a 3-0 voice vote. The commission then moved to set the budget hearing for Sunday, Sept. 21, at 10:15 a.m.; that motion also passed 3-0. The presiding official said the Commission Room will be available in person that day and a Zoom link will be provided for remote attendees.

There were no substantive public comments during the session, and the commission adjourned after setting the hearing date.

Details recorded in the meeting indicate the session was brief and procedural: the commission handled agenda approval, confirmed the hearing date and time, and adjourned. The county clerk and staff will follow notice-and-publication timelines required to hold the hearing.
