Commissioners reach agreement on 2025 budget
Commissioners reach agreement on 2025 budget with decrease of 2.9 mills, no reduction in county services Proposed budget set for adoption during Aug. 28 Commission meeting LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Board of County Commissioners reached a tentative agreement on July 16 on an approximately $201.3 million budget for 2025. They agreed on a mill levy of 41.298 mills, which is a decrease of 2.911 mills from 2024. This is the third consecutive year that the County Commission has reduced the mill levy. Two mills were reduced in 2024 and one mill was reduced in 2023. One mill is one dollar per $1,000 assessed value. The 2025 budget included growth in property values (assessed valuation) of 6.89% compared to 10.98% the year before. The rate of property value growth in addition to reducing the Employee Benefits Fund by $4 million and moving $767,000 in behavioral health items to the mental health sales tax fund, allowed commissioners to reduce the mill levy by $5.9 million in the general fund. The general fund is the largest and most general purpose of the county’s budgeted funds. The 2025 budget does not eliminate any current county services. Commissioners Karen Willey, Shannon Reid and Patrick Kelly reviewed more than 50 funding requests totaling $20.1 million from county departments and community partners. Community partners that received new or expanded funding included: • $2.8 million in one-time capital funds for supportive housing projects with DCCCA, Cardinal Housing Network, Inc., Ninth Street Missionary Baptist Church and the City of Lawrence as well as $600,000 to support a new flexible Housing Subsidy Pool to help individuals who need supportive housing. • $45,000 for an additional preventions program case manager for the truancy program for O’Connell Children’s Shelter, Inc. • $28,000 for Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health to offset rising costs of vaccines.
