Johnson County adopts coroner office fee schedule; hold-harmless agreement required for outside use
Summary
The commissioners approved an ordinance establishing a coroner office fee schedule at second reading and discussed a hold-harmless agreement that must be executed before outside users may access coroner services or facilities.
The Johnson County Board of Commissioners on April 28 approved an ordinance establishing a fee schedule for the Johnson County Coroner’s Office.
A county representative told commissioners that a hold-harmless agreement had been drafted to reduce liabilities and that the coroner’s office will require the agreement before allowing any outside usage of coroner facilities or services. The speaker said the fee schedule and the hold-harmless agreement are pending legal review and that the hold-harmless will be presented to the board once people begin requesting outside usage.
The motion to approve the ordinance was made, seconded and recorded as carried by voice vote; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally. The ordinance was identified on the agenda as ordinance 2025-03 (as read in meeting speech: "20 20 five-zero-three").
Why it matters: the fee schedule establishes how the coroner’s office will charge for services; the hold-harmless agreement is intended to limit county liability for outside users. The transcript does not include the fee amounts or the text of the agreement.
