(KAIR)--A special meeting of the Atchison County Commission was called Saturday, held to discuss the now approved change for the County's upcoming Budget Hearing, with the County leaders deciding to hold it on a Sunday, two days earlier than previously scheduled.

During the ongoing, lengthy budget process for 2026, the Commission has engaged with residents, hearing their thoughts and concerns, apparently including one calling for such hearings to be held at a time when most are not at work.

Decided during Saturday's special session was to move the public hearing from the previously approved date of Tuesday, September 23, to Sunday, September 21. It will begin that morning at 10:15 in the Commission Room, located on the lower level of the Atchison County Courthouse.
