In July, Hoisington EMS Director Megan Elmore accepted a gift of several meal tickets from Clara Barton Hospital Foundation members after the community responded to a “Pay-it-forward” campaign. The Foundation’s annual fundraising community meal had to be revamped into a drive-by curbside meal earlier this spring. Elmore, Hoisington’s only full-time EMS staff member, has been working to rebuild the EMS volunteer base and filling vacancies since taking on the position last year. Following Monday’s budget hearing, she will continue serving without paid staff for at least the next year.
HOISINGTON — The city held its annual budget hearing Monday night. The good news is, taxpayers will feel virtually no difference in their outflow to the city this year. That’s because the mill levy rate is down slightly, and the city is holding the line on expenses.
