Road and bridge staff reported the list of items includes an old 10-foot bush hog (stripped for parts), three 8,500-gallon asphalt tanks that have not been used in decades, a side boom mower, concrete pier forms and footing forms, a pile of millings at the intersection of U.S. 50 and U.S. 75 that staff said have been stored for years, an old crack filler replaced last year, an I-beam frame, trailer-house frame and other scrap metal. The sheriff’s office has also coordinated use of the online auction vendor used in previous sales.

Notice and publication: County staff said the board intends to publish notice of disposition of county property in the county’s official newspaper on Sept. 18 and Sept. 25, 2025, as required by statute. The motion to publish the notice and to proceed with auctioning the items was moved (moved by McCurry; seconded by Barker) and approved by voice vote.

Why it matters: Staff said most of the items have no ongoing public use and are taking storage space; auctioning them returns small amounts to county coffers and clears yard space. Staff noted the pile of millings has been stored for years and may have limited market value, but the auction will allow interested buyers to bid.

Next steps: Staff will coordinate with the online auction vendor, prepare detailed sale descriptions and publish the required notices. Items will be offered through the vendor’s online platform with terms and timing managed by the vendor and county staff.

Ending: Commissioners accepted the recommendation and authorized staff to publish disposals and work with the auction vendor to schedule sales.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Meeting 9-15-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Coffey County authorized disposal of assorted surplus equipment — including tanks, a bush hog, a pile of road millings and other highway yard items — and approved publishing notice that the county intends to sell items through an online auction platform used by county law enforcement.","taxTitle","Coffey County, Kansas","taxId",73123,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468019,"Commissioners acknowledge mortgage satisfaction for Linda Snyder property in Coffey County",191,106000,297000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782872-29aed4a353666037b0348f3ded9257c2&start=106&end=297","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782872-29aed4a353666037b0348f3ded9257c2/thumbnail_106000.jpg","/articles/6468019/Coffey-County/Kansas/Commissioners-acknowledge-mortgage-satisfaction-for-Linda-Snyder-property-in-Coffey-County","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468019-413c90598d22a9fbc6900195093d78db/orig.mp4?Expires=1775609729&Signature=hm6W1MP1EtDSV5i2WTVNH8bUw8R57KrNp9HSDeF2YAcLcdL52rm-XTIPHtSgv8e9Z~6KaBXBni6~ECUcyDEg-V7lDkpXFCZehIVJRs4WBuJTWG4LZUi9~SjQyxbIUY0vaI3PLxx9owsvf-U6cJVI3eKtLddp~l7ITz3JSHp0sYVFl3WGt8PNGjrCTvZ~Mnjnzp8rlVwftEtzcjYUpu1y3h-3HxevBsf6ndkJSVJoM2aI1EAmKMx6EoUld9udkuJuAIx0yvb0NChT3RAOiPMS9TsGz~lPOFv3jZjSUqryZt2zwKsyYkp2siZgaEJ8S48NwHldn5Qy2h0gCRP~PiEd5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Coffey County commissioners approved a release recognizing that a mortgage held on a parcel tied to Linda Snyder has been satisfied in full and authorized the chairman to sign related documents.

County staff read a legal description of the parcels and noted the mortgage recording information (recorded in Book M317, pages 732–733 in the register of deeds). The motion to authorize the chairman to sign the real estate mortgage release was moved by Commissioner Abendroth and seconded by Commissioner McCurry; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

Why it matters: A mortgage release typically clears a lien from the county’s records that showed indebtedness secured by the property; staff indicated the county’s register of deeds has the recorded mortgage volume and page cited in the meeting record.

Board action: The commission’s motion authorized and directed the chairman to sign the release acknowledging satisfaction in full of the debt secured by Linda Snyder for the described tract; the vote was recorded as a voice vote and the motion carried.

Ending: County staff will file the executed release with the register of deeds as required.","Coffey County commissioners approved a release acknowledging satisfaction in full of a mortgage secured by Linda Snyder on a tract in Gridley (transcribed as Ridley/Gridley), and directed the chairman to sign the release.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468024,"Coffey County sets public auction for two surplus properties; commissioners approve notices and no-reserve marketing plan",833,4155000,4988000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782872-29aed4a353666037b0348f3ded9257c2&start=4155&end=4988","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782872-29aed4a353666037b0348f3ded9257c2/thumbnail_4155000.jpg","/articles/6468024/Coffey-County/Kansas/Coffey-County-sets-public-auction-for-two-surplus-properties-commissioners-approve-notices-and-no-reserve-marketing-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468024-c51c1310e92a6b6c5a367b311a3f5240/orig.mp4?Expires=1775609729&Signature=jA~yp8PpefGqPFIzFszqwYOD4CJTkwEixrTSwDxQyrqgAuPQUc1RUpoY2WlpJ7Ba4-2xYDSVFXthf5fAGkdh-1bjwt59JmXR-371pW4YtBVnl8t9EroiU7oLxRFKF2iYvoyYJC6xG9dErJwvxqv3dEYA6eHoeuz~zGfyce8I8AD1dolizFaCXv9DUx-4Ou4dQSNZjz1qlPjPyGm5721NJn4biNDU8Hox2sybXE~oFl5HMVfPN4ZtkFnKkivcggRG-F6B0e9lHDT-g-qjcI~obE3cHeMatBKOPCkfEB8GN3uCX641layHplQlhLofw~mM8AGvRjofEkPz~YlYtgFGyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Coffey County commissioners approved notices this week to market and sell two county-owned properties at public auction, scheduling the auction for Oct. 30 and a public hearing on the results for Nov. 3.

The commission reviewed draft public notices for 824 North Fourth Street in Burlington and 538 North C Street in LeRoy. County counsel and staff said the notices describe a public live auction administered by Von Ross Land Brokers (Cameron Ross) with bidding available in person and remotely. The advertisement materials submitted to the board state the auction will finish Oct. 30, 2025, at 7 p.m. in the courthouse lobby; the board set a public hearing on any sale for 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 3, 2025.

“No reserve” marketing and commission: Staff explained the marketing plan contemplates listing the properties without a reserve and engaging a broker for marketing and the auction process. The draft notice includes a commission provision: up to 5% total commission for Von Ross Land Brokers not to exceed $5,000 in the aggregate for both properties. Staff said the broker will prepare auction listing agreements and handle bidder verification and sale administration.

How the process will work: As described to commissioners, the broker will conduct the auction on Oct. 30. If the broker identifies a successful bidder, the broker will present the results to the board at the Nov. 3 public hearing; the board may accept or reject the sale at that hearing. County staff said that format mirrors prior county property sales handled by third-party auction administrators.

Board action and context: Commissioners approved a motion to publish the notices and proceed with the auction/marketing plan (moved by Commissioner Abendroth; seconded by Commissioner McCurry). At least one commissioner noted that published appraised values on the county website may not reflect the current condition of the properties and urged realistic expectations for sale proceeds.

Next steps: Staff will finalize the notices and the auction listing agreement with Von Ross Land Brokers, publish the notices in the county legal paper as required, and return the results to the commission at the Nov. 3 public hearing.","The commission approved public-notice language and a marketing plan to sell two county-owned properties — 824 North Fourth Street in Burlington and 538 North C Street in LeRoy — via live public auction Oct. 30, with a public hearing set for Nov. 3 to consider sale results.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468028,"Coffey County approves resolution to sponsor moderate-income housing grant as Housing Authority and city fund drainage work for six lots",1260,1751000,3011000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782872-29aed4a353666037b0348f3ded9257c2&start=1751&end=3011","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782872-29aed4a353666037b0348f3ded9257c2/thumbnail_1751000.jpg","/articles/6468028/Coffey-County/Kansas/Coffey-County-approves-resolution-to-sponsor-moderate-income-housing-grant-as-Housing-Authority-and-city-fund-drainage-work-for-six-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468028-c575c31e0d1bcd18d547cc5c829bf49b/orig.mp4?Expires=1775609729&Signature=U6Ekb1jK-J1TtkOdo5H2B4oYgelkY3~Y4KqnYs0dq5VUFSHT16t8tT96plmqM1jbwothP9~qRC027ZzxknqUVmAUZiOgjDwoUQ0eH0uik4Q-a90e93HrPPVAjIjl6Ck8dxG115bjs3r7xj2C8zfaYpoxIILAfWjFvlV9MjhhoQ6auKcupMqZJTqSCoCt5TzG7glM6ZBcQpNLFLOhhz6vyibd2rtzqZj80XSO89hUhOqNHDPqPM9bqdaEnnW2xG-hjvNDySL-cZj2QmNWeOUFDnYZTryUUnymg4cQJERRIAu7u2YSom20NzfV2YM7j03IQBKNqOhLdRb6A~Z61ho5vw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Coffey County commissioners voted Monday to authorize the county to sponsor a moderate-income housing grant application intended to support a proposed six-house development near Lebo, Kansas.

The resolution authorizing the county’s sponsorship passed on a voice vote after County Economic Development staff said the city of Lebo could not sponsor the application because the proposed development lies outside city limits. “The moderate income housing grant is going to be due here in a couple weeks,” Jenny (Coffee County Economic Development) said by speakerphone, and she asked the board to approve county sponsorship so the applicant could submit on time.

Why it matters: County sponsorship will allow the developer to apply to the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) MIH program, which county staff said can be used for infrastructure and other costs that make small-scale for-sale housing feasible in rural areas.

County Economic Development staff said Patrick, the project applicant, has prepared application materials and will complete the grant if the board signs the sponsorship resolution. Commissioners were told the applicant expects the project to meet the program’s matching-fund requirements, meaning the county’s role would be administrative rather than a cash commitment. “There’s no monetary commitment from the county on this,” one commissioner said during the discussion.

A Housing Authority update and drainage work: Rhonda Gilbert, director of the Coffey County Housing Authority, told commissioners separately that the city has agreed to pay for the full cost of a drainage-ditch project that Housing Authority staff and the school district say is necessary to make six lots buildable. “The city did approve paying for the entirety of the drainage ditch work,” Gilbert said, adding the contractor expects to finish the drainage work by the end of the month, weather permitting. Craig Marshall, superintendent for USD 244, confirmed the school district and recreation center have discussed historic uses of the parcel and that the partners intend to market lots for single-family houses that fit the neighborhood.

Timing and next steps: Economic development staff said the MIH pre-application deadline is the week of the meeting and that a full application for the KHRC MIH program is due Friday, Oct. 6, 2025, at noon (as stated in the meeting). Staff also said the county can serve as grant administrator and verify application materials if the board approves. Gilbert said the Housing Authority plans to post a request for proposals for a real-estate agent to market the six lots and hopes to approve the agent at an October board meeting.

What the board decided: Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing the chairman to execute documents to sponsor the MIH application (moved by Commissioner Abendroth; seconded by Commissioner Peterson). The motion passed on a voice vote.

Context and uncertainties: Staff discussed another MIH application submitted by the Coffey County Housing Authority for a triplex inside Burlington city limits and said KHRC staff would be asked whether the county may sponsor more than one MIH application in the same funding round; KHRC rules and the applicant types (city, county, nonprofit) determine eligibility. Staff also discussed a related “RID” (rural improvement district) process; county staff said they would present more information on that topic at a later meeting.

Commissioners emphasized that county sponsorship is intended to be administrative; staff said the application, if awarded, would provide funds that typically cover a portion of development costs.

Ending: With county sponsorship approved, staff said they would deliver a county-signed resolution and proceed to finalize the MIH application for submission to KHRC. If KHRC requires additional county actions or matching funds, staff said they would return to the board for further direction.","Coffey County commissioners voted to authorize the county to sponsor a Kansas moderate-income housing (MIH) grant application for a six-unit housing project; county and Housing Authority officials described a parallel drainage project the city will fund to prepare lots for sale.","actionData","errors"]
