The budget hearing and the hearing for exceeding the tax revenue neutral rate for Kansas City Kansas Community College is scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 23, at the college, main campus, Upper Jewell building, 7250 State Ave., Kansas City, Kansas.
According to a budget summary document published in the Wyandotte Echo on Aug. 11, the KCKCC proposed budget for 2022-2023 would be a mill rate of 27.382, the same amount as the 2021-2022 year.
The revenue neutral rate would be 24.108 mills, and the proposed amount is around 3 mills higher.
Assessed valuation is up about $200,000 over last year, meaning that the same mill levy would produce more dollars, according to the budget document. The total tax levied would be $46,799,984 for 2022-2023 as compared to $41,133,834 for 2021-2022, according to the budget document.

Budgets are subject to change, until final approval by the board.
Also planned on Aug. 23 are executive sessions at 4 p.m. to discuss personnel matters, to discuss acquisition of real property and to consult with the attorney.
