(KAIR)--The Atchison County Commission continues the process of setting a budget for 2024, holding a public hearing this week that ended with the decision to work toward more cuts.

Atchison County Commission Chair Casey Quinn told MSC News constituents provided "great feedback" during the session, which was held with the goal of each Commissioner individually looking at the budget in order to find additional reductions in the total amount of $400,000.

Discussion regarding potential reductions, to meet that goal, will take place Tuesday during the Commission's regular weekly meeting.

A deadline for finalization is not immediatly set, but Quinn said it's her hope that after Tuesday's meeting, the County leaders will be able to reach a consensus and make additional adjustments based on the feedback presented during the public hearing.

The Commission has, for weeks, been working toward the goal of setting the budget, under the guidance of Atchison County Finance Director Mark Zeltner.
