Public meeting dates for the Saline County Commission, will now change from weekly, to bi-weekly starting in 2026.
Starting in January, Saline County Commission public meetings will be held every two weeks per month. This change is mainly due to preventing light agenda meetings, where frequently held meetings are very short at times.
In 2025, Saline County Commission meetings were held three times a week.
Commissioner Joe Hay stated the process of putting together commission meetings is time consuming for county staff, and if there are no items needing a deeper insight then it can be prevented through establishing the bi-weekly meetings.
"Going to two meetings a month I think will ease our staff and actually save taxpayer money," said Hay.
If meetings need to be added further down the line, it will be included.
Commissioner James Weese added this will allow members of the public more opportunities to attend the meetings.
