(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has begun the 2022 budget process.
Department heads and organizations receiving funding from the county met with the Commission on Friday to present their budget requests for next year.
The largest budget request was for the road and bridge department--nearly $4 million.
Commissioners took the budget requests under advisement.
A proposed 2022 budget will be drafted for publication. Final approval of the budget will follow a public hearing, which is expected to take place in July.
In other business, the Commission voted to allow George Bruning to take over as Solid Waste Director in addition to continuing to serve as Noxious Weed Director. Bruning will be paid $25 an hour for a period of six months at which time the commission will re-evaluate.
