County looking at more 2025 cuts
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — At last week's Board of County Commissioners meeting, commission chair Randy Parks suggested some further cuts to the upcoming 2025 budget. "Some of the potential cuts that Commissioner Parks mentioned were cutting by 10% some of the partner agencies such as TECH, Horizons Mental Health, Museum, and then cutting Farmers Market and the County Fair," said Reno County Administrator Randy Partington. "Some of those, the impacts to them would be, they would have, well, 10% less money coming from the County or on the Farmers Market, I think it removed all $4,000, which they use for live bands during the Farmers Market. So I'm not sure what their other funds are, but each of the partner agencies would be impacted by that. The other internal county cuts would be, right now the budget has employee pay raises of a total of 5%, which is 2% cost of living, 3% pay for performance. Commissioner Parks had two scenarios, one going down to 4%, 2% and 2% total, or moving it down to 3.5%, which would all be cost of living increase. And then there's some discretionary positions, he would, there's three of those and he would cut one of those positions. That's a couple hundred, or it's about $60,000 there. The cuts to personnel increases, about $200,000. That would impact employees and their pay raises, but operations would continue."
