Staff said they had emailed county employees and that the county public information officer had published notices. Staff said immediate priority work would restore the transfer station and EMS phone lines and that county teams would continue work Saturday to stabilize the rest of the system.

During the meeting commissioners recessed into an executive session to discuss information‑technology security measures. The motion cited the information‑systems exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (IT/security measures that would be jeopardized if discussed publicly) and listed present officials including Chairman McKinley, Vice Chair Fokie, county counselor Jacob Hansen and Corey Meyer, IT director.

After returning from executive session the commission recorded that no binding action was taken. The commission’s motion and the record state that the session was held to discuss security measures for the county’s information systems and public facilities; no votes implementing security changes were recorded in open session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","9/25/2025 Riley County Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Raleigh County announced a phone-system migration to begin 6 p.m. Friday with intermittent disruptions; commissioners recessed into an executive session on IT security during the Sept. 25 meeting and later reported no binding action was taken.","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},6485386,"Habitat for Humanity outlines large Manhattan affordable housing plan; county says 10-year RHID payback remains target",1559,3919000,5478000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5826191-6dda30acb738f2c54c2632d40688422d&start=3919&end=5478","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5826191-6dda30acb738f2c54c2632d40688422d/thumbnail_3919000.jpg","/articles/6485386/Kansas/Habitat-for-Humanity-outlines-large-Manhattan-affordable-housing-plan-county-says-10-year-RHID-payback-remains-target","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6485386-2d2d17c54eff30ed2f82ad53003c1379/orig.mp4?Expires=1773632090&Signature=bMDNB8FjuqfCTP1ZjBeZ2ArYgqetIQEwMQC5V-09GLrKtNJ293t4Qf7eSlYx6~ILxNwYF9jSzzz1huWUz~dg8lUIKLEzlmu3J2w0TWyzUIoldGtGu4D9b~ScbzoOMj~Z0RamucHHFonWZlCElnAcVDi4bTsl3049pf2YXeVsPrdudZGTqZP~t3As1f8RKtJy-KmQwJqq-I4johX~HgOwzm8S3qYsewX-S2kX7b8HBCJpzZfEBnJxUdhprXSA-K6ex5Rk7VAnIQ7p6VGaNvPdVSx-3iJlRCsfpss3KVdB8-Uc8JaWHcXXqKwd3z-q~-FT2b7rVfErrsfQP5b2F3OKBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Josh Brewer of Habitat for Humanity of the Northern Flint Hills presented a proposal to commissioners on Sept. 25 for a multi‑phase development on nearly 5 acres in Northview intended to produce permanently affordable homes under a community land trust and an RHID (residential housing incentive district).

Brewer described three build scenarios: a “tortoise” (roughly 8 townhomes and 8 cottages), a “hare” (about 22 townhomes and 8 cottages) and a “super‑hare” full build‑out (about 38 townhomes and 16 cottages). He said the full build‑out would be a roughly $16 million project with a new‑construction valuation just under $12 million; under that scenario projected property‑tax increases would pay off an RHID bond for site acquisition and infrastructure in a little less than seven years. The mid and small scenarios produced longer payback periods: about 12 years for the middle scenario and more than 20 years for the smallest build.

In the project pro forma Brewer showed townhomes at about $240,000 and cottages at about $172,000 in delivery cost; the cottages were described as roughly 860 square feet (two‑bed, two‑bath) and the townhomes about 1,200 square feet. Brewer said site acquisition was estimated around $400,000 and infrastructure roughly $1,000,000. He said Habitat planned resale restrictions via a community land trust so owner‑occupants would not capture market appreciation on the land — the land would remain trust‑owned while homeowners hold leasehold interests in the lots.

Commissioners and county staff focused questions on the RHID payback window. County officials reiterated a preference for projects that restore property taxes within about 10 years to limit long‑term fiscal exposure; staff said payback stretching to 15–25 years raises long‑term impacts the county seeks to avoid. Commissioners noted tradeoffs: faster, larger build‑outs shorten payback but raise delivery costs and require outside contractors; smaller, slower builds may be more affordable to construct but extend payback beyond the county’s preferred window.

Brewer said Habitat will continue to refine sources and phasing and asked whether a phased RHID request (infrastructure first, then vertical construction phases) would be acceptable. County officials said doing infrastructure for the entire site up front and phasing vertical construction is a reasonable approach but emphasized the county’s interest in minimizing long payback periods.

No formal action was taken; Habitat said it will return with refined financials and options.","Habitat for Humanity of the Northern Flint Hills presented a proposal for a multi‑phase development in Northview and sought county guidance on RHID payback and affordability definitions.

The action resolves a long-standing access problem for a roughly 4-acre site about 1,820 feet east of Martin Avenue by combining Lots 1 and 2 of Western Shore Acres Unit 4 into a single lot and vacating the eastern half of the cul-de-sac of Leedy (Leedy) Lane so the proposed house can be addressed from Golden Shores Drive. Planning staff told commissioners the combined lot will be served by a private well and septic lateral and must comply with the Raleigh County sanitary code before occupancy.

Planning staff said the underlying issue was that Leedy Lane was never fully constructed or accepted into the county road system, leaving the lot without safe, adequate public access. Staff said the township would not accept the road unless the applicant built more than 1,000 linear feet of roadbed, including a cul-de-sac bulb, to county standards — work the applicant said was not financially feasible. By vacating part of the cul-de-sac and combining lots, the driveway can be constructed from Golden Shores Drive without crossing additional public right-of-way.

County staff told the board the northern portion of the lot lies within the 1% annual chance floodplain in conjunction with an existing flowage easement, and that the site is hilly with steep wooded ravines. The planning director also said the University Park Fire Station (7412 Red Bud Drive) will continue to serve the property’s fire protection needs.

The planning board approved the final plat on Sept. 8 after staff determined the submittal met the Raleigh County land development regulations and the sanitary code. Planning staff said a building permit had already been issued and a foundation had been started before staff discovered the access deficiency; without the replat the applicant would have required a variance.

Commissioners moved and seconded approval; the motion passed with the board voting in favor. The record reflects that commissioners accepted the easements and rights of way shown on the recorded final plat.","The commission approved Resolution 092525 to acknowledge the final plat that combines two lots into a single 4-acre parcel and vacates part of Leedy Lane to allow the new home to be addressed off Golden Shores Drive.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6485378,"Votes at a glance: commission approves consultant supplement, personnel actions and minutes",279,633000,912000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5826191-6dda30acb738f2c54c2632d40688422d&start=633&end=912","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5826191-6dda30acb738f2c54c2632d40688422d/thumbnail_633000.jpg","/articles/6485378/Kansas/Votes-at-a-glance-commission-approves-consultant-supplement-personnel-actions-and-minutes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6485378-853cc35903df6863ca402570c28f21aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1773632090&Signature=ChXnwuJKuJ50Swa1MG4uROMf9WIRvzfE1CAb0X4BbxDwAq6u8gorh0bs0Q2hszHK3X08pY0L6ksqUWVZ4zwAJHiGQgGEz0l85xvMQDP1d9Ose0XrVPE4iz4K75WZPGv52xM67qvXsWo5xfTREuVK5Lhp3Ed6g7JronuZ0Vykn7SqFmEkR8Wdas7cWMoXaC~Cufxt0h~8qLiJNAEgrRIrjwp6ZLUd~SpYAbr8GMv70iNA2aHPuG5ViEF3TkHVJeVJB9Qn1DVrsE7NgJbXOaaBhlvT4WUv1rgeGt6NBqC2B1Z3vJdaP~3r2x1t4TKKmXn-iPMh2B4--sbUqX3ertFRpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Raleigh County commissioners recorded several routine approvals during the Sept. 25 meeting.
