County Commissioners prepare for end of budget year

Cheyenne County Commissioners, approaching the end of the budget year, brought in the heads of every department Monday to offer some direction.

The commissioners hope to avoid going into budget hearings and asked departments to stay within their 2016-17 budgets.

“We should be 95 percent and no more on your budgets,” Commissioner Darrell Johnson said. “I think everybody’s done good on their budgets this year. We need to ask you to all please, this last pay period, to back off if you can, as much as as you can.”

He added, “I think we can make it with a little help from you guys.”

The budget for the 2017-2018 has to be finalized by Sept. 5.
