NEWTON, Kan. — The Harvey County Commission plans to correct the maximum tax levy for the county's 2027 budget at its Tuesday morning meeting.

Commissioners Terry Scott, Don Schroeder and Becky Reimer are set to give official notice for a revenue-neutral rate hearing and a final public budget hearing. The move follows the board's earlier steps to shape the county's financial framework for the coming year, which will determine local property tax rates.

The commission is also slated to approve $156,947.96 in routine county warrant checks.

Beyond the budget, officials will review proposals from three publications vying for the contract to print the county's legal notices in 2027. Bids submitted by Harvey County Now, the Newton Kansan and the Wichita Eagle are on the docket for consideration.

The agenda also includes a discussion on a new property tax information insert and administrative updates from County Administrator Kevin Frymire, including a weekly progress report from the road and bridge department.
