Commission adopts several special-district budgets; some remain revenue neutral
Summary
The commission adopted the budgets for Fire District 2 and the Bucyrus and Hillsdale lights-and-sirens districts; Fire District 2 and the two lights-and-sirens budgets remained revenue neutral and were approved 5-0.
The commission adopted several specialized 2027 budgets Aug. 26 that either remained revenue neutral or required no additional levies.
Sydney Ming told the board Fire District 2 will remain revenue neutral this year by using reserves and continuing existing contracts (including Johnson County consolidated fire district) to provide coverage for the northern county. The Bucyrus and Hillsdale lights-and-sirens budgets were likewise presented as revenue neutral; staff said those budgets primarily cover payments to Evergy to power lights and sirens. All of the specialized-district budgets were approved by roll call, 5-0.
These approvals conclude the hearing schedule for the day; commissioners thanked staff and residents for participation and adjourned the meeting.
