(KAIR)--Saying there has been "a little confusion," Atchison County has issued a statement in an attempt to provide reasoning as to why the County's forthcoming budget hearing is being held on a Sunday.

The statement opens by reminding residents the Atchison County Commission will hold the budget hearing on the morning of Sunday, September 21, beginning at 10:15 in the County Commission Room, on the lower level of the Atchison County Courthouse.

The release explains that the hearing date is selected "to meet statutory requirements," as "state law mandates a minimum of 10 days between the publication of the hearing notice and the hearing itself, as well as an additional 10 days between the hearing and the final certification of the budget," with the County adding that "holding the hearing on Sunday is solely to comply with these legal timelines and ensure the budget process remains on track."

The budget was published on September 11.

The Atchison County Commission had originally set the public hearing for September 23, but moved it to the Sunday, September 21 date during a special meeting held September 6.
