HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Community College Board of Trustees will take action on the 2023 budget during the monthly meeting Thursday evening.
The proposed budget will not make the revenue neutral rate for the year, although the mill levy will stay the same. The driving force, as with all government entities and schools, is the increase in assessed valuation for the area, which for the college stands at more than $675 million.
The proposed budget totals $68.31 million on total taxes levied of $14.7 million. The mill levy actually falls from 21.835 to 21.829. The revenue neutral rate is 20.716. The board still has the power to find cuts before approving the budget, but it cannot be increased. The revenue neutral hearing and public hearing on the budget will be held Thursday, Sept. 8.
Thursday's meeting of the HutchCC Board of Trustees begins at 7 p.m. at the Shears Technology Center on the HutchCC Campus.
