This might be surprising to some of you, but the truth is that most teens choose sports, art, reading, music, having a job, future opportunities, or spending time with family and friends over using substances!

Our office is mailing revenue neutral rate information to taxpayers this week. You may receive a document similar to what we included here. New Kansas statute requires any taxing jurisdiction that exceeds its revenue neutral rate from the previous year to provide notification of its public budget hearing. This is not a bill, and no action needs to be taken. It is simply informational. The document includes notes explaining information in the notice.
You can find a summary of all hearings for taxing entities in Harvey County, sign up for future notifications by email, or read more about revenue neutral rates, here: www.hvcoksvote.gov/rnr-infoPhotos from Harvey County KS - Elections's post
Welp, it's Aug. 10 and *checks calendar* school starts for some Harvey County kids this week? It's an exciting/nerve-racking/memorable/hopefully fun time of year. Lots of kids are getting familiar with their back-to-school routines. Parents and teachers, too.
So here's our reminder for drivers to be extra attentive the next few weeks. Pay attention for kids using crosswalks and on sidewalks. Bring it down a notch in school zones. Be ready to stop if a school bus has its stop arm extended.
We're thankful for all of our local educators for all of their work prepping to welcome returning students. Keep up the great work. We hope everyone has an awesome school year!Welp, it's Aug. 10 and *checks calendar* school starts for some Harvey County kids this week?

Now's the time to begin transitioning into a school routine. What tips do you have for fellow parents and caregivers?
Do you use vaping or tobacco products including e-cigarettes?
It's probably costing you more than you realize. You can save more than $50 a month by quitting vaping products, cigarettes, or other forms of tobacco. That's $600 a year!

The Harvey County Board of Canvassers met today to complete the vote canvass for the 2022 primary election. The official, certified results can be found here: results.enr.clarityelections.com/KS/Harvey/115395/web.285569/#/summary
There were 12,551 ballots cast in this election out of 23,514 registered Harvey County voters, which equates to a 53.4 percent voter turnout. Thank you to everyone that voted in this election, and to all of our staff and poll workers for helping facilitate the election!
The canvass board reviewed 304 provisional and seven challenged ballots, of which 184 total ballots were counted. Examples of provisional ballots can be name changes or voters that moved but hadn't yet updated their voter registration. Challenged ballots are advanced ballots that were returned without a signature. We attempt to contact the voter to have them correct the deficiency before the vote canvass, and will include the ones that do.
The canvass board was comprised of Harvey County Commissioners Randy Hague, Don Schroeder and George "Chip" Westfall.
Election Day for the general election is Nov. 8. Information on the general election can be found here: www.hvcoksvote.gov/2022-upcoming-elections

A map can be pretty handy when navigating our three county parks. Whether it's walking our trails, locating our rental facilities or giving directions to friends and family coming out to spend some time together, this map could be a big help to guiding around Camp Hawk, East Park or West Park.A map can be pretty handy when navigating our three county parks.
