Hays Post reporter Jonathan Zweygardt recaps this week's Ellis County Commission meeting with commission chair Butch Schlyer on this episode of the Post Podcast.
Jonathan Zweygardt
not a huge meeting last night by any means handful things on the agenda. And kind of the the one thing I guess we'll start with the budget discussion, because that's going to be something that you all talked about last night. And it's going to be a continued kind of process through the next several weeks and months. And I know, a week ago, Commissioner, Rutherford County Administrator, Dr. Meyers kind of laid out the the calendar. And then last night was the first opportunity to kind of start to direct how the commission would like the budget to look. And I guess that's kind of where we start. So it's an opportunity for the commission to kind of lay out their vision for what the department head portion of the budget budget and elected officials looks like,
Butch Schlyer
right? Last night, we were to start to give them direction on what the budget should look like, and what department heads elected officials should try to do with their budgets. And of course, as I reflected on that, through the week, our budgets are going to go up, we know that going in. And they're gonna go up because we had additional personnel, we added, I believe our IT department added a person we added an assistant to our admin administrator, we've we've increased a clerical position from halftime to full time and we just increased an appraiser position for three quarter time to full time. So we know that personnel wise, we're going to have an increase. And we know given the inflation on things, we are going to look at an increase in supplies and increase in equipment. And on top of that everyone has had their homes valued at a whole new level, mine went up 19.4%. So that just going to impact people's wallet and trying to make sure people are aware that what what we definitely came to a conclusion last night is we want the department heads and elected officials to bring in a budget that they believe they need to provide the services necessary in their departments. And that includes their supplies and their equipment, we know the cost of fuel is going to go way up. That's even going to be real hard to budget for. But But looking at that, it just comes down to a matter of what we can do with the dollars we're going to get. And we're going to pull them. And we're also looking at trying to increase money into our public works department for road and bridge projects. Currently, we're allotting one mil for Bridge Park project, specifically, which gives us about 450,000 a year that we had one bridge failure on the saline river this year, that costs us $900,000. So we feel like we really have to put more money back for that. And then addition, as we look at personnel, we have been giving them the same cost of living increase that Social Security recipients get, we don't know where that's going to fall either. So the budget, we're going to look at where the budget kind of comes in at and then see where we can best to reallocate funding resources wherever we need.
Jonathan Zweygardt
It's interesting to talk about so road and bridge Public Works and the revival of a old fund to now make two funds where there's a highway fund road and bridge fund that, as you mentioned, is funded $400,000 each in each fund. So combine $100,000 A year ago, but as you mentioned that that won't replace a bridge. I mean, if we have, and we have some bridge that bridges that are extremely old and the county is structurally deficient is a is a is an interesting term, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's actually you know, going to fall down tomorrow. It's just a tech, technical term. But there are bridges that the county and rows of the county has to look out for in the future. And so it's important to start to set money back in case there are big projects, big failures and bridges,
Butch Schlyer
right, like I say with that one bridge failure versus $900,000. And that should be finished up here this year sometime. But it when a bridge fails like that it does cause an inconvenience to the users of that bridge. And this bridge that did fail. The oil industry is really harmed by that bridge failure. They have a big detour they have to go around.
Jonathan Zweygardt
And I know that something that with the road and bridge, the road tour coming up next week. That's something with that we wanted to hit on Well, let's keep talking about the budget but obviously that's an opportunity for the commission next week. was part of a special session to take a look at some of those bridges, right?
Butch Schlyer
They do take our the commissioners around and shows the various projects that are going on and the projects which we may be facing in the future. And that's always an eye opener.
Jonathan Zweygardt
When you look at the budget budget process, we talk about some of the unknowns, the inflation, the price of fuel, the cost of health care may change as well. You talk about the direction that the Commission talked about last night and keeping it as you know, make sure you keep the services that you want. That's something that as you've been a part of the commission that the you guys have, really, I don't want to champion to the right word, but making sure that you keep the level of services that we have in Ellis County at the level we have,
Butch Schlyer
right? Well, well, county government is governed by statute from the state. And the state really tells us what we're going to provide with most of our departments, there is an exception with just a couple. But we have to provide certain services for departments, and with with the elected official departments, we have to provide them adequate funding to provide those services or else they could come back and take us to court on those kinds of issues, which I hope that never has to happen. So it can get. We've had budget sessions in the past, I'd got quite intense.
Jonathan Zweygardt
And I know to you being a part of the Commission, as part of the discussion for the sales tax, and it went past and the Commission, you can only through the sales tax or tax directly a certain portion of that specifically to one which the commission elected to do health care, which we can talk about in just a moment, but also then kind of earmarking saying, Okay, we have a percentage that needs to go to road and bridge. And that probably goes more to what we were talking about earlier, too,
Butch Schlyer
right? Yeah, that what we've done with the with the portion for road and bridge, is we did take out a bond for certain projects. And as as we start down that list, if a project is overrun, comes in more than it should have or what we anticipated, then the list just gets shorter. So list doesn't go away. It just shortens up and we have to make a new list next year. And I
Jonathan Zweygardt
know Darrin County Administrator, Dr. Meyers talked about it a week ago with the sales tax and how much that has helped on the budget, with the being able to fund the health through that. And then also with Raja road and bridge. So that's a big part of the success that the budget has had for the county.
Butch Schlyer
Right. Without that sales tax, Ellis County would have crashed and burned, we would have had to have layoffs service, whether it had been curtailed, probably would have had to cut hours for existing staff, it just wouldn't have been a good outcome at all.
Jonathan Zweygardt
I'm curious to in your position with the as the commission chair, and with kind of those numbers and understanding that that will sunset in 10 years, obviously, under 10 years now. But and looking at it as far as who knows what happens the next time you go to the voters? Is there also that way in the back of your mind that you have to find a way to set aside money and and start to make sure that you don't get back in that situation? As before.
Butch Schlyer
We're trying to build up the reserves for it for the LS County.
Jonathan Zweygardt
Yeah, I'm curious. That was something that you guys kind of talked a little bit about last night. Right. And so any particular reserves, we talked about Rowan bridge, but is there any other than that you think that you want to highlight as far as from your chair?
Butch Schlyer
Well, our reserves, our capital equipment fund, just our cash carryover balance. And anything we can build up to help sustain this, should we not have quite the revenues we think we need is going to help and maybe get us by a year. If we run into a situation in eight years where our sales tax doesn't pass, we're in bad shape immediately. That's that's just going to be that effective.
Jonathan Zweygardt
And obviously, that's something that Darren had pointed out and you see an ad budget, and there's some things that you just can't control, as we talked about before. One of the things that came up last night. So your director was talking about outside agencies, and as a whole, those are agencies of the Commission and the county of funds. Is there anything as far as director that you're talking about with them that, that you think that won't be related? As far as well.
Butch Schlyer
We we talked about the outside agencies or the agencies what just enhanced quality of service or quality of life in Ellis County. And we talked last night, we just wanted to see them bring in pretty much flat budgets. And as we look at our county budget comes in, look at the subsidize agencies that will determine if we're going to increase decrease or allocate different agencies within those outside agencies different funding, so it's something we just got to look at the big picture when we start getting the pieces put together
Jonathan Zweygardt
and This is going to be a process that will go all the way to September because there will definitely be an increase in the budget. And so that takes an extra step. Yes, absolutely. So I know we'll be talking more and more about that. So we look forward to having more of those types of discussions. Anything else from last night, it's a meeting that kind of stood out to me, we got an update from the health department. I think that was something with Kim mareel, the Director of Health Department talking about a couple of different things
Butch Schlyer
we did, we did send the health department back to the governor's Public Health Conference, the whole staff went, they closed up the department for a few days, it sounded like it was very beneficial for him. We have completely redone the health department as to what it was, when I retired, we brought it back to that same level with with an administrator directly into the department, running things on a day to day basis, instead of having us split administrator, that just doesn't seem to be working well. So I think our health department is kind of getting its feet back under him. They're looking at expanding some programs with the maternal child grant, as well as with the family planning grant. So that's all helpful. And then they're trying to find ways to spend some of the COVID grant they had with with some remodeling and some signage and things like that. So we'll see how that turns out. Yeah, I
Jonathan Zweygardt
know, that's something that I think we'll definitely be hearing more about as far as maybe a little bit of a different look. And it's because of safety issues that have been brought up within the departments, that new location is not new anymore. It's been settling for a while, but that's something that I know that the the remodel and kind of making it a little bit safer, and then also more efficient. Right. Absolutely. And we'll look forward to hearing more about that. I know Kim presented last night and as you mentioned some COVID money that has to be spinner. It it goes back to the federal government. So I think the odd the, basically the understanding was this is your chance to use that money or you will never get it again.
Butch Schlyer
But you have to lose it according to certain contingencies. So sometimes that can be hard to sort it all out.
Jonathan Zweygardt
Very good. Well, um, that kind of wraps it up. I know, there was, as you mentioned, an approval of a little bit of a change in income, kind of some of the positions there through the appraisers office. That was some personnel change a little bit and then more about the Katherine township that was one of those that was out for dissolve nine, but it looks like that some folks have stepped up and decided that they want to keep their township running. Yeah,
Butch Schlyer
I guess according to the county clerk if they don't file the budget or the proper reports, we can dissolve the township and the Catherine township I believe it was decided they didn't want to do that. So they got some offers. We got everything renewed last month. Great.

This week's Ellis County Commission meeting was a busy one. Hays Post reporter Jonathan Zweygardt recaps that meeting with County Administrator Darinn Meyers, on this episode of the Post Podcast.
Jonathan Zweygardt
We're gonna talk a little bit about yesterday's meeting. And then also, obviously, with kind of some of the fire dangers, your position as the fire chief, we can talk about that as well. But as far as the last night's meeting, kind of the busy meeting from last night, so that had a couple of presentations and a couple of different things. We'll kind of chat about some of those last night DSC Wk with Jerry Michaud, their director, and then presidents and then also with access. And when Chris came before the commission yesterday, I was kind of curious, they kind of, you know, providing their annual update to the commission, talking about obviously, with TSN DVK. staffing issues a big deal. I didn't know if there was anything in particular that kind of stood out from their presentation yesterday, as they gave a report to the commission.
Darin Myers
I think there's several things that point out, that if you look at the commission meetings for the last several months, as well as the ones that are coming up, last year, in the budget cycle session with the Commission, they had requested all the outside agencies who with funding from the county come back and kind of give updates periodically throughout the year. So that's why you're seeing a lot of them at the commission meetings, explaining where they're at with their organization where the funding has went to and where they've kind of progressed and, you know, coming out of COVID what their plans are. And last night DSM Wk Jerry gave a pretty good update on where they're at. Seems like a similar problem. There's not enough workers and they're not being paid, not being paid enough, and how are we going to figure out how to pay them. But there's also I think, the biggest point that really stuck out to me, and they have individuals out there, I can't remember how long the waiting list was. But they were on that waiting list individuals for over 10 years now waiting to get services from DSM Wk, not just because of the funding, but because they don't have the level of supporters within their organization to take care of them because they can't find that in the workforce. So I think that was the biggest thing that stuck out with the SW K. And it's it's an important service to our community, but all of Northwest Kansas for the entire area that they serve.
Jonathan Zweygardt
You said he said since 2012, and I think it was commissioner Schleicher asked, you know, Is it money? Or is it staffing and Jerry said if if we found a whole bunch of money, we'd still have the issue because of staffing. And, and you're the county is right in that kind of same boat, it seems like everybody's dealing with staffing issues. Yep. And then also with access, the County Commission works with them through grant support, because the large share of their funding comes from grant support through k dot and the Commission, a lot of times, it's asked to just sign on for supports through grants for access.
Darin Myers
And one of their biggest grants that they get for their funding source. track a lot of things from the amount of people that they transport with their their their set fees are from the state, how many miles they drive, but a lot of their funding comes on at 20 Grant, or if they get $20. And matching funds here locally, for instance, from the county commission, that can eat up 20% of what they get. They get the other 80% from the grant from the federal government. So it's a smart investment of money that there's a need for that public transportation throughout the county. And I was surprised by their rates $2 for an in person drop or in town drop off and $4 anywhere in the county. And that's in line throughout the entire state, which is us amount set by the I believe k.is What he said, so significantly cheaper than taking a taxi or an Uber. And sometimes the services of those larger vans for the people in need of those types of services for wheelchair bound and such are so great option. And we need that for our community.
Jonathan Zweygardt
And I know you kind of hit on it with the presentations. You know, this kind of leads into that last line item on the on the agenda from yesterday is the budget forecast. And, you know, there's a lot of numbers and a lot that goes into that. So but this is the start of that conversation that commission is hearing from these different outside agencies that the Commission partners with and provides funds for. And that's kind of, you know, along the line with this budget process, which you're just now starting for, believe it or not 2023. And so that kind of is your reasoning, why and, and kind of going into that.
Darin Myers
Yeah, the budget cycles, it's a little bit shorter this year, the process is a little different than we've done in the past. But the commission, you know, one of their things that they had really emphasized last year was if we're giving outside agencies those funding, we'd like to know where it's going and so that way it's justifiable and understandable to the public of those taxpayer dollars going to help organizations like DSN Wk or High Plains mental health or economic development with grow haze A lot of those have immediate results and impacts coming back to our community for those, those dollars that we give them.
Jonathan Zweygardt
I know last night, speaking of the budget kind of laid out, so with the Commission, the schedule of how the budget process will go, and I know next week, which I assume will spend a lot of our next couple of months talking about the budget through August and into September for 2023. That he kind of laid out the the schedule, and so next week, you'll kind of get maybe more of a direction as far as how the commission wants to go with department heads and kind of their direction for them.
Darin Myers
Yep. So we spent a little last night I know, you couldn't see the numbers on the screen. But it was basically just how that the lines progressed on if you made a change with salaries or if you made a change with valuations, you made a change with health insurance or a combination of both. It shows you on how inflation and change in how services are going to impact the impact of over the next 10 years, a lot of that is the sales tax that was passed back in 2020. Once that expires, come 2030. The county is right in the same financial piece that it was back before then. So it's not that we emphasize what the commissioner has made sure we're making smart choices now not necessarily for 2023. But what's 2033 look like? Make sound investments now spend the money where it needs to be now. So that way we're looking at what 2020 or 2030 2033 looks like. And yeah, those kick off the budget process next week. With the information we shared last night, hopefully there'll be able to individually think about it and make some discussions, we have a have a discussion next week at the commission meeting as to what direction they'd like to see the department heads and elected officials put in their budget for for next year.
Jonathan Zweygardt
And like I said, I know we're gonna be talking about this, you know, until September, but you talked about those numbers. And I thought it was interesting to see how different things change and you made the comment, you're talking about inflation, and valuation, healthcare. If one of those changes, you know, even just a salaries, for instance, if you if one of those things change just a percentage plus or minus, it makes a great impact on, you know, not only next year, but also there 10 years from now. But also what happens if two or three of those things are four or five of those things change that, you know, while we don't know what the future looks like, you know, that's still important to make good financial decisions. Because of the, you know, there are some things you just don't know you can't control. And so that's something that you said the commission has to look for.
Darin Myers
Yeah, one of the easiest things that you can look at when you look at a forecast like that is you can look at the history and guarantee almost everything you buy now is more expensive, or everything you do now is more expensive than it was when you were a kid. So nothing's ever gonna get cheaper 10 years from now, hardly anything's gonna be cheaper than it is now. And just look at the gas prices two years ago, we were under $2 an hour. We were pushing. We were on vacation two weeks ago, we paid the highest at 486. Out in Illinois. So a lot of those play big, big impacts on the budget and all those little pieces combined. Make make up a big portion of where we need to look out into the future and just be smart with those dollars that way. We're just more financially sound.
Jonathan Zweygardt
And there were a handful other things we wanted to quickly hit on but one of the things that I was gonna ask because I think you brought it up last night, the mill levy, when was the last time that the Commission raised the mill levy, obviously, it changes due to valuations. And there's some things outside of the Commission's control. It just happens because that's how it works with valuations. But as far as a real middle of a change, you know, when the last time that happened by the Commission was or that commission.
Darin Myers
I had it on piece of paper last night I look back for the last 15 years and 15 years ago and there's a big misinterpretation with the mill levy extra is everybody thinks that the mill levy sets the budget and that's not necessarily the case. It's a combination of what your valuations are for your property compared to what the budget is. And then that kind of helps determine what the mill levy is. Valuations go up your budget stays the same your mill levy goes down. If you're if your mill levy goes up, your valuations go up, your taxes go up so there's so many different pieces to that. And then you also got to look just for instance, the city Hayes, believe the overall mill levy is 110 mills. The county collects 100% of that, but we don't keep hardly any of it. You have about 40 mills that goes to school districts you have 25 or so mills that goes to the city Hayes Ellis County is only 36. And then you got the fire district on where yours at Sometimes if you're over an LLC that LSP Levy, so we're only the Ellis County government is only about a third of what you pay in your property taxes for the city Hays residents. A little bit less than in the others because the mill levies are different analysis Victoria. But yeah, it's it Where's actually changes more, we basically focus more on the budget. So if our budget say this year is 24 million, they basically give us the direction that yeah, we would like to see the budget stay the same, because we have no impact on what the valuations or the evaluations or what the homes are come across is what the markets doing. Everybody knows what the market is in Hays right now. There's no homes for sale, the homes are selling 10 to 15 20% higher than what the appraised values are. And people are paying that price when those prices go up supply and demand. Low supply the demand is high that people pay more. Eventually our appraisals by state statute have to catch up to that. So the middle of has basically been the same essentially for the last seven years. It's it hovers we can't keep it essentially the exact same because the valuations changed the budget changes which changes the mill levy, but it's it's been I think I said last night, the last seven years, there's only been six tenths of a mil difference from where it was seven years ago, which in the overall grand scheme of things when your overall mill levy for the city Hays area. It's 110 Mills, seven tenths of a mil is pretty minimal.
Jonathan Zweygardt
Yeah, very good. Well, I'm sure talk about that more as the budget process just getting started for 2023. A couple of other things yesterday, the HVAC work and the admin center already underway with Glassman corporation that was just kind of a final approval last night for the commission.
Darin Myers
Yep, the US that I believe they prove that work and the purchase order back in February. So they're getting started on that. And it's going to be about a nine month process. Working through going back to how salaries and the workforce are shortages, it's the same thing. And in the supply arena, there's about a 20 week lead time, I think 20 to 24 week lead time before we get a lot of the equipment for that so they got a lot of prep work cleaning, replacing some fan coil units throughout the building some rooftop units. There's a lot of work that goes into that. So though, you'll see Glassman down the administrative building for the next nine months quite a bit.
Jonathan Zweygardt
Very good. And I know there are a couple of other things but you know, before we get out I wanted to make sure obviously in your role as the fire chief, you repeat to the weather before we got on and you know today's another Dangerous fire weather day and it looks like with the lack of moisture in that 10 day that you know we got to kind of keep an eye on that for the next handful of days after dealing with that before as well.
Darin Myers
Yeah, I know when you're asking me about speaking about this this morning you had a couple of people knocking on wood last night that nothing pops up. We've been fortunate last week with three or four days of fire weather last week that we didn't have anything locally we had some smaller fires. We also assisted out of county on a fire up in Brooks county but it's happening all around us still it's just not hit home yet. If you didn't see last week at that fire North Norton up in Nebraska the volunteer fire chief up there was killed in a car accident because driving through smoke and hidden one of the other fire vehicles very unfortunate so my my guess my thoughts and sympathies out to that would fire department up in Nebraska but here we are again a week later. At Red Flag Warning today it looks like it's going to proceed for the next several days the burn ban in the county is still in place. So there is no outside burning, except for what's allowed within the burn ban. And like you said I looked at the weather because I do that about about every day and you know how the weather changes in Kansas but the next 10 days there's chances for moisture but as I showed you the highest chance was 40% sometime over the weekend but he said point 04 inches and then the way the wind blows that'll be gone within two hours after the wind blows when it stops raining. So for the next 10 days it doesn't look like we're gonna see any good chances or moisture but hopefully, like I say as the weather changes we'll get something sooner than later. I don't like having the Birdman in place I like it off and getting plenty of moisture but I just hope everybody's careful out there. tire chains up on your trailer so they're not dragging don't throw your cigarettes out don't do any outside burning recreational chimineas firepits anything we we have fires that actively start back up in the wind that had been out for two weeks from brush piles and people burning trees and branches. So that's that's kind of why that burn plan is in place right now and even after a little bit of rainfall because those those winds can torch up a fire and Start things but if you see something, don't be afraid to call 911 If you have something call 911 Immediately, the faster we get resources out there, even if we've come to find out there's nothing on fire there's no issue at least we got to help them. There's no harm in turning people around in the past week, get people there is the faster you'll be on top of things and less damage and destruction.
