Museum Director Catherine Hensler said the museum will no longer accept unscheduled drop-offs. Donors must contact the museum first and staff will vet potential donations against published collection criteria; only items that meet the criteria will be scheduled for appointment-based drop-off. Hensler said the change is intended to prevent future backlogs and ensure staff can properly document and care for new accessions.

Hensler also said staff are reviewing roughly 3,200 books in the museum library and have identified approximately 906 volumes that likely do not meet the museum’s collections criteria; those items will be presented to the collections committee for possible deaccessioning. The museum will offer deaccessioned items to other institutions and, if no other institution accepts them, proceed with standard disposal or surplus procedures per policy.

The museum also plans to update donation, licensing and reproduction forms (some of which date to the 1990s) and will route revised forms through county counsel as part of the institutional review. Hensler said volunteer hours dipped in March and that field-trip season begins later in April, which will increase volunteer needs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4/10/2025 Riley County Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Riley County Historical Museum said its collections moratorium — in place since May 8 — will end May 1; staff will require appointments for new donations, update intake forms and propose deaccession of items that do not meet collection criteria.","taxTitle","Riley, Kansas","taxId",4218,"location","Kansas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6607454,"Riley County health and treasurer reports: March revenues, measles response, and clinic billing staffing needs",3981,3493000,7474000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2952775-53b8e6540820bf275c33b5cee815b6ab&start=3493&end=7474","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2952775-53b8e6540820bf275c33b5cee815b6ab/thumbnail_3493000.jpg","/articles/6607454/Kansas/Riley-County-health-and-treasurer-reports-March-revenues-measles-response-and-clinic-billing-staffing-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6607454-caac8a56c43d2e36dca6d52e6302f1d2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770899138&Signature=A28GV6wm2JU8svWFm-myQQ03ikhyA5-4HETxqnZAVJ2ktaurxCUgD7Vjibj~izA~mPHuCCfA346rlPffwg4PdvCB3K4fybLVaTOmgUKkET3~Iqu3kkuDthjtwjIT5tIl6ktSoFlOv3Vw8y22eaw3fJixaGO73FNRluce8hine5Ghb3V9NY7m89P~7BEolJC37FDcgRjzHVpvKGfY3Z6uY~Y2WeTuwolX4p7UKiQAuQ2XyPOBY6E6Oi2WR-HiaAR5fEkEUQKulwIL2Hwb-PTvQVYI6IfIks6HbX0WtMRK51TFbPmVFtVTY82KhLHpE6vXdnFN9SBcKEjfGionSRo2ww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riley County’s treasurer and health department presented March financial and public-health updates at the April 10 commission meeting, covering general-fund balances, upcoming tax deadlines, a developing measles outbreak elsewhere in the state and operational pressures in the public-health clinic.

Treasurer Shiloh Hager reported a general fund balance of about $13.2 million at month end and an ARPA fund balance near $6.2 million. Year-to-date investment interest through March totaled about $647,040 (roughly 30% of the annual budgeted interest). Sales-tax receipts retained by the county were lower in the March distribution (reflecting January sales), and second-half property taxes are due May 1, Hager reminded the board.

Health Department Director Diane Craig and staff briefed commissioners on a statewide measles outbreak the Kansas Department of Health and Environment was tracking; county officials said there were no Riley County cases at the time but the department is increasing MMR vaccine clinic availability, including on-site clinics at early learning centers.

Clinic leaders reported service-line volumes for 2024: roughly 5,333 vaccines administered to 2,779 unique patients, and 1,135 STI panels conducted; reproductive-health clients served under Title X numbered about 1,109. Staff said they are expanding payer contracts (Ambetter, Cigna, Healthy Blue, TriWest) but that the health department lacks a dedicated billing/credentialing position. The department asked commissioners to consider options for addressing complex billing, credentialing and prior-authorization work to improve revenue capture and resilience against potential federal funding reductions.

Commissioners asked procedural and timing questions and did not take formal budget action at the meeting. Health staff said they will return with more detailed options if the board wants to explore a billing/coding position or alternative third-party services.","Treasurer reported March revenues and fund balances; the health department briefed commissioners on a regional measles outbreak, immunization clinic activity and a staffing gap in medical billing/credentialing the department says hampers revenue capture.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6607458,"Riley County approves Narcan deployment and public-health station plan; staff to distribute boxes and training",3305,3286000,6591000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2952775-53b8e6540820bf275c33b5cee815b6ab&start=3286&end=6591","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2952775-53b8e6540820bf275c33b5cee815b6ab/thumbnail_3286000.jpg","/articles/6607458/Kansas/Riley-County-approves-Narcan-deployment-and-public-health-station-plan-staff-to-distribute-boxes-and-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6607458-a50199cf8ba08794d97f71a158c8a10e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770899138&Signature=Yc9HSytPoX-2PtdM3~S8Zsd2dbTddiG0oGOhm9Z7NyCSrE5~NYM~wvc-LcenQdr7B88Aa1-XxJbZ5tR9K8jGCW7IUbmebKMOHkmpK40NRJf6K-uQDWWoI~e6Eoe7LnmWgL-kBf4w~Syna2iaqDAP~9-xJgYOm9hcy8vXhAY2DubLhaxh6a4BUDILXI~9WSwMBE9hrAvcBrqdcMljRGoUoSw3eNSEIzRv9LMaAISM6keVjrsbinSUTC1PmQTEegXdaU59Xfe0cSbdmp58iPMS6CSF~x44SqfYp0-eGE0ZZBeu7Vf5IIkBmkb2F3CgVH-r1YhuhkBdmqsHCW0WJUt-7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riley County commissioners voted April 10 to approve a public-safety and health proposal to place naloxone (Narcan) kits and “public health station” boxes at county offices and to support training and community distribution.

Health department staff asked permission to place a wall-mounted “1 box” naloxone kit (kits that include audiovisual guidance and a training video) by AED stations in county buildings for rapid access, provide Narcan to county departments, offer staff training on the kits, and install two larger resource “public health stations” outside the county health department buildings (Tecumseh Road and Claflin addresses) where weather and security allow. The health department also proposed a community “lock-your-meds” pledge, distribution of medication lock boxes/bags, and outreach tied to National Take Back Day.

Commissioners asked staff to coordinate placement with facilities management and to confirm mounting, weather-protection and temperature limits for the outdoor cabinets. Health staff said the Narcan product they purchased has an expiration date (discussed during the presentation) and that the FDA had issued an exclusive one-year extension for that Narcan brand; staff said they will manage rotation or retrieval when weather or temperatures require it.

The commission made a motion to approve the Narcan proposal and associated public-health station concept; the motion was seconded and passed (voice vote, recorded as “Aye”). Commissioners asked staff to provide a written motion text for the county clerk and to coordinate final locations with facilities and dispatch/EMS.

Staff said they had purchased 200 lock boxes and 200 disposal-bags and reported that more than 100 community members had already taken the “lock your meds” pledge during outreach. The health department will continue public training and distribution and will place Narcan kits in county offices as approved.","The commission approved a proposal to put Narcan (naloxone) kits and public-health resource stations at county offices, authorize staff training, and distribute medication-lock devices; the board voted to approve the plan.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6607462,"Commissioners agree to negotiate a longer-term lease with Pawnee (Ponty) Mental Health for renovation plans; counsel to present amended lease",0,2925000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2952775-53b8e6540820bf275c33b5cee815b6ab&start=2925&end=2925","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2952775-53b8e6540820bf275c33b5cee815b6ab/thumbnail_2925000.jpg","/articles/6607462/Kansas/Commissioners-agree-to-negotiate-a-longer-term-lease-with-Pawnee-Ponty-Mental-Health-for-renovation-plans-counsel-to-present-amended-lease","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6607462-535b46b41d374ac3274ec3020db982a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770899138&Signature=A9vwhVKPxv-7ywTj~RVUdG5yllpTwm3aV6lFX-quVct77lgFvNE2GC-Oa8Xp3CVlLYO5R8QnTAuK4qPd22qBWd-mQbLaTwA0jLitmZNjV9nO~JekhhjIEzXkHh5YiPdd3fa3g3yheWUzQg8Dj~mk4JGVRZl3rxra4u1dDUoeS4P0daOnGxOdNPJ0RUdKt1LXhz~tPGnKlPxPlSeUTXD0wIjuOQbP63ICtReSSrFl3AksAkcHz2qas5SY9bzQprqbo775Gz6kUbSkHNavRACLNh4z5IXwJVfwwehh6qGPB7fUZiFCUMvY-RDlBfYVVZWnZcL83gfw9~e3uAOVSXn7HA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riley County commissioners on April 10 discussed a proposed lease amendment with Ponty/Pawnee Mental Health Services that would allow the provider to make extensive interior renovations and extend the lease term beyond the current agreement, which runs to 2027.

Deputy County Counselor Jake Vanson and county staff summarized the amendment’s purpose: Ponty (referred to as Pawnee in the discussion) plans to add clinical space — exam rooms, phlebotomy rooms, storage and support areas — to support a new integrated primary-care component under a federal grant. Ponty representatives said the renovations would not include structural changes but would reconfigure interior space to support co-located primary care and behavioral health services.

Counsel presented an initial draft that included an unusually long 100-year term as a starting point. Commissioners discussed options and settled on directing counsel to draft a 20‑year term. Jake Vanson said he would revise the amendment, check details with Ponty’s leadership and county staff, and return with an amended lease for the board to sign. Commissioners noted that the county owns the parcel and pays insurance and pointed to a historical financing arrangement in which county bonds were used to acquire the building while Ponty/Pawnee repaid the county over time.

Commissioners emphasized they wanted assurance that a longer term would allow Ponty to justify capital investments and asked staff to confirm insurance, liability, and parcel boundaries. No final lease was signed at the April 10 meeting; the board authorized staff to negotiate the 20‑year term and return with a final document for approval and signature.","Riley County commissioners told staff to revise a proposed lease amendment for the county-owned mental-health building to a 20-year term and said counsel should return with a final document for signature after review.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6607466,"Riley County commissioners approve letter supporting shared community-corrections funding with Clay County",34,926000,960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2952775-53b8e6540820bf275c33b5cee815b6ab&start=926&end=960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2952775-53b8e6540820bf275c33b5cee815b6ab/thumbnail_926000.jpg","/articles/6607466/Kansas/Riley-County-commissioners-approve-letter-supporting-shared-community-corrections-funding-with-Clay-County","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6607466-7be9b7df936e33c0cf33cdce0a2906e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770899138&Signature=Jt3nwboXsaC7pD27o8R-llMZk~hf4~AviCLeyubqH1T5ZqS05JJA7MSf7L4SFhbJtorcz33QdUg2hZDv-rHMVRJQ2ZrJ3frXnJnIYToEqfzvmK-qMCiQ1ynYGX64rR2xfwbEBbVLbs5b-hJtBMxbWJmIwj-SF1NlTricZZs2dcIcjTLa9Ch2MWMKFxzsj9TNqNi6o3f~dAiuR1BrXEdXTNE7sEn5D5DAkOdVyctOLfr4wzoMLzOd27QWX1QSuXi-rfshnNoxm-g6t74Z8au9l-AX-R7Yvqpl0UEquYGha656CkCsdy6LmxEnefRFKLoTmhj5E79mpra6uEVSN5DYMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riley County Commission voted unanimously April 10 to approve a letter supporting Clay County’s request to share funding for community corrections services.

Commissioners said the request mirrors last year’s arrangement and carries the same dollar amount. County staff told the commission they have already coordinated with Clay County officials and that Clay County is aware of and receptive to the request. The commission also noted ongoing communications about opioid-related grant requests to neighboring jurisdictions.

The action is procedural: the county will produce the signed letter and staff will transmit it to Clay County as part of continuing intergovernmental collaboration on corrections funding.
