Hesston council holds 2026 budget work session on 2027 capital improvements and operating budgets
Summary
Council members and department heads met for a work session to review the 2027 capital improvement plan and departmental operating budgets; minutes record attendance but no formal budget votes or allocations.
On May 18 the Hesston City Council convened a special meeting that included a work session with department heads to discuss the 2027 capital improvement plan and departmental operating budgets.
The record lists department heads and staff present, including Golf Manager Zach Frey, Golf Course Grounds Superintendent Bryant Welch, Parks Foreman Josh Hastings, Library Director Abigail Skiles, Library Board Chairperson Johann Reimer, Public Works Superintendent Chad Mason, Emergency Services Director Zach Bergen and Police Chief Chris Eilert. City Administrator Jason Thrasher and City Clerk Valerie Bonham also attended. The minutes state the council met with department heads to discuss the 2027 capital improvement plan and departmental operating budgets but do not record specific budget decisions, dollar amounts, or formal approvals tied to the work session.
Because the entry is recorded as a work session, it documents discussion and review rather than formal action; the minutes list subsequent formal votes on separate agenda items later in the meeting.
