SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The South Hutchinson City Council will hold a special meeting Thursday that could shed some light on how various departments are being manned in the future.

Budget constraints are putting a pinch on the small community’s numbers for next year, and the Thursday meeting may address that.

The city budget was passed Aug. 6 calling for $6.3 million dollars in expenditures with a mill levy of 43.8 mills.

No word on if any departments will be cut and where. Mayor Mandi Bluminhorst has refused to comment on where any cuts in the budget could be made.

Thursday’s meeting is a simple executive session. It is still unknown if any actions will be taken at that time. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at the South Hutchinson city office.
