The Barton County Commission Monday morning approved an amended 2106 operating budget for the three county funds – road and bridge, special bridge, and noxious weed. The action followed a budget hearing where Finance Officer Matt Patzner presented details of the changes. “Despite the efforts of elected officials and department heads, budget estimates must be adjusted so that funds fall within budgetary laws,” Patzner said.
