City Commission hears more requests for FY19 budget

The budget requests for fiscal year 2019 are in at Holton City Hall.

On Monday, July 2, members of the Holton City Commission heard budget requests for the coming year from the city’s police, fire, street, parks and recreation and administrative departments, the five departments combined seeking nearly $120,000 more than their allocations in the 2018 budget, mainly in personnel and commodity costs.

Commissioners will now take those departments’ preliminary budget requests — as well as the requests from the city’s water and wastewater, electrical production and electrical distribution departments, heard in June — and prepare a budget for 2019 following a Monday, July 16 meeting with Overland Park auditor Mike Peroo.
