Votes at a glance: consent agenda, county property bid, and SEKCAP letter approved
Summary
At its meeting the Bourbon County Commission approved the consent agenda, accepted a $200 bid for a county property, and authorized the chair to sign a letter of support for Southeast Kansas Community Action Program (SEKCAP).
The Bourbon County Commission recorded three formal outcomes during the meeting.
Consent agenda: The commission approved the consent agenda, which included accounts payable dated April 11, 2025, totaling $308,360.48, the February financials and tax roll corrections. A motion to approve the consent agenda was made, seconded and carried by the commissioners on the record.
Pat Murphy bid — old dump site/Native Road: Commissioners accepted a $200 bid from Pat Murphy for the county’s old dump site (referred to in the meeting as Native Road, old dump site). A motion to accept the bid was made and seconded; commissioners voted to approve the sale.
SEKCAP letter of support: The commission authorized the chairman to sign a drafted letter of support for Southeast Kansas Community Action Program’s Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) application. A county staff member read a draft of the letter into the record; a motion to sign the letter was made and seconded and the commissioners approved it.
Vote tallies recorded for each motion at the meeting were three in favor, none opposed; the minutes show affirmative votes by the commissioners present for each item.
Why it matters: The consent agenda covers routine county financial matters; the property sale transfers a small county asset; the SEKCAP letter supports a regional anti‑poverty program that provides housing, early childhood education and transportation services in Bourbon County.
What’s next: The clerk will process the accounts payable and tax roll corrections; county staff will complete paperwork for the property sale; the chairman will sign and submit the SEKCAP support letter as authorized.
