(KMZA)--No public comment was received during hearings Monday on the Nemaha County Commission's intent to exceed the revenue neutral rate and the proposed 2026 budget.

Following the RNR hearing, the Commission voted unanimously to approve a resolution to exceed the revenue neutral rate of 35.379 mills.

Following the budget hearing, no action was taken.

As proposed, the budget calls for a nearly 4.6 mill property tax levy increase. However, the Commission plans to continue to look at budget cuts before the budget is finalized.

The Commission held a special meeting Wednesday afternoon to further discuss the budget, but no action was taken.

They plan to hold a special session next Thursday morning, September 4th for final consideration of 2026 departmental budget requests.
