County unlikely to give refunds for tax mistake
Finney County faces no refunds for a tax calculation error that cost public entities 562,382 in FY 2015. Garden City, USD 457, and Garden City Community College would prefer compensation, but officials argue republication of budgets would be needed. The county insurer’s coverage is uncertain, and a new review process will be added for abstracts before signing. Also, bids will be sought for a Lake Road bridge replacement with a projected cost near 910k to 939k.
