Riley County sets combined RNR and budget hearing for Sept. 10; board approves publication
Summary
Budget and finance officer Britney Phillips asked the commission to publish the combined revenue‑neutral and budget hearing notice for Sept. 10; commissioners approved publication in the Manhattan Mercury and confirmed an estimated budget rate of 38.012.
The Riley County Commission voted Aug. 20 to publish the combined revenue‑neutral rate (RNR) and 2027 budget hearing notice in the Manhattan Mercury, scheduling the public hearings for Sept. 10.
Britney Phillips, budget and finance officer, told commissioners the county will hold separate RNR hearings for the city fire district and Riley County (with the overall budget hearing to follow). She reported the estimated budget rate at "38.012" and said the county auditor completed review with only minor edits. Phillips moved to publish the 2027 notice of budget hearing; a commissioner seconded the motion and the board approved it. "The budget hearing is scheduled for September 10th at 9:00 a.m.," Phillips said.
The approval starts the statutory notice period leading to the Oct. 1 certification deadline. Commissioners will hold the public hearing at the county commission chamber and accept public comment on the proposed rate and the county budget as required by Kansas statute.
