BUHLER, Kan. — The Buhler City Council will be in a special session Tuesday evening to hold its public hearing on the 2020 budget.

At the request of the city council, the mill levy will hold steady at 51.2 mills. Capital improvements and regular cost increases had City Manager Merrill Peterson asking for a ½ mill increase, or about $3,500, in the budget. However, the council asked Peterson to trim the budget so the mill levy would stay as is.

The proposed budget totals $1,645,000 on total taxes levied of $351,959.

The special meeting and public hearing begin at 7 p.m. at the Buhler city offices.
