As Seward County continues to struggle with the possible reality of having to pay back nearly $6 million in taxes from a Board of Tax Appeals case, commissioners and staff continue to search for answers to how to provide services without a significant rise in the county’s mill levy.
The commission hosted two recent town hall meetings, one in Liberal and one in Kismet, and at the Kismet meeting, Administrator April Warden explained how close county officials monitor the budget to make judgments about spending to ensure the budget is balanced at the end of the year.
