County administrator seeks June budget sessions; commission schedules burn‑permit study session
Summary
Reno County’s administrator presented options for departmental budget presentations in June to meet a July 20 deadline on revenue neutral rate decisions and proposed a study session after the May 28 meeting to review the county’s burn‑permit resolution.
County Administrator K. told the Reno County Commission the county needs to schedule departmental budget presentations in June so the commission can meet a July 20 deadline tied to the revenue neutral rate and mill‑levy publication schedule.
The nut graf: The administrator asked commissioners to indicate availability for budget work sessions between June 9 and June 27 or to meet several mornings in June, noting the county must finalize its position on the revenue neutral rate by July 20. He also proposed a study session after the May 28 commission meeting to review the resolution that establishes burn permits and consider any recommended changes.
K. said departments vary in how long they will need for presentations: smaller departments may take five to 10 minutes, while larger departments such as public works, solid waste and the sheriff may require longer. "The county has to let the county clerk know by July 20 of whether or not the budget's going to be above the revenue neutral rate," K. said, emphasizing the timeline constraints.
Commissioners discussed options including meeting every Wednesday in June for half‑days or grouping department presentations into three mornings between June 9 and June 27. The administrator asked commissioners to email unavailable dates so staff can finalize the schedule and said he would coordinate with Commissioner Vincent (absent) on his availability.
On the burn‑permit resolution, K. proposed a study session following the May 28 meeting involving staff (named in the meeting as Adam, Travis, Patrick and the administrator) to explain how the current resolution works and to let commissioners consider modifications before bringing recommendations to a future public meeting. Commissioners agreed that a study session after the May 28 meeting was reasonable.
Ending: The administrator said he would circulate scheduling options and coordinate calendars; no votes were taken and the study session was scheduled by unanimous agreement of those present.
