Making Business Pay in City Management
Atchison's six year shift to a commission manager system slashed bonded debt by nearly half and cut the tax rate from 20 to 15 mills. The city reports balanced funds, paid bills, and reduced operating costs while expanding parks, a large pool, and civic facilities. Commissioners Mangelsdorf Lehman and Mize, with Bert Wells as city manager, run a businesslike administration with salaries noted and local firms tied to leadership.
