(KAIR)--The Jefferson County Commission has set a public hearing for next month as the 2024 county budget is readied for publication.

According to the unofficial minutes of Monday's Jefferson County Commission meeting, the hearings will be held for both the exceeding of the Revenue Neutral Rate, as well as the annual, required public hearing pertaining to the budget as a whole.

The minutes state that the mill levy for the proposed budget will be 67.539, with that rate expected to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate of 63.367, meaning the requirement of a hearing.

The Commission agreed to a hearing date on the afternoon of August 28, at 1:30, at Oskaloosa City Hall.
