Finney County officials and Youth Services director Leroy Gerber warned local leaders of state mandated cuts to the Juvenile Justice Authority prevention programs in 2011, risking higher youth caseloads. Despite a $390,000 2010 county budget, fear grows over a 627000 JJA reduction and a county mill increase. Local actions included a support vote for a $1.2 million KDOT grant and a Windsor Hotel restoration trust, while one rezoning for 7.2 acres at 9705 Lakeside Place was approved.
