College to make budget by Austin Fisher
Garden City Community College leaders propose a 2.5 percent salary increase for faculty and staff and a reduction in the mili levy rate as they present the working 2016 budget. Projected expenses reach 18.23 million with 17.51 million in revenues and a 727 thousand cash reserve to cover the gap. Swender notes revenue shortfalls due to lower property tax and a drop in Finney County ad valorem values.
