More on Today's County Commission Meeting...

[Patriot]

On August 15, 2012, the Elk  Count Clerk placed the 2013 Budget Summary & notice of public budget hearing in the Prairie Star newsrag.

The Notice said that the required hearing was scheduled for 1:00PM on September 10, 2012.  The hearing was not on the regular meeting agenda, and no budget hearing was conducted.  

How can the County Clerk & the Commission chair just 'forget' or 'overlook' a hearing required by Kansas law?  Especially when the hearing had been published and both hearing & certification were supposed to have been finalized on or before August 25, 2012. (See K.S.A. 79-1801, et seq)

Priceless.  Yes.  Scofflaws?  We report, you decide.

Anyway, I understand the notice of hearing will be republished and a new hearing date set... by the way, your property taxes will NOT be going down.
