The Ellis County Commission will review the 2017 budget at Monday’s county commission meeting.

The county began working through the budget process in March and, over the past four months, has met with department heads and outside agencies to set this year’s budget.

County Administrator Phillip Smith-Hanes will present the commission with feedback from those meetings at Monday’s meeting and then ask for direction from the commission. If there are no changes, the commission is expected to set a public hearing and publication at next week’s meeting.

In other business, the commission will discuss purchasing two new ambulances.

Monday’s Public Building Commission meeting starts at 5 p.m. with the regular commission meeting to follow at the County Administrative Center.
