(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council has adopted a 2022 city budget that calls for net expenditures of more than $13 million dollars and keeps the mill levy steady.

The action followed a hearing Wednesday evening drawing no public comment.

The budget contains an estimated tax rate of 32.585 mills, which is to generate nearly $830,000 in local tax revenue.

Even though the mill levy will remain the same, the city will collect an additional $30,000 in taxes due to a $920,000 increase in the city's assessed valuation.

Following a second public hearing prior to the budget hearing, the Council approved a resolution to levy a property tax rate exceeding the revenue neutral rate established by new legislation approved this year by the Kansas Legislature.
