Votes at a glance: consent agenda approved; tax-exempt status for 710 N. Broadway authorized
Summary
The Crawford County Commission approved its consent agenda and authorized a letter supporting tax-exempt status for a mental-health property at 710 North Broadway in Pittsburg. A motion to accept a subdivision resolution was made during the meeting; a vote on that motion was not recorded in the transcript.
The Crawford County Commission approved its consent agenda and authorized a letter supporting a tax-exemption for a mental-health property at 710 North Broadway in Pittsburg, the commission said during its April 2025 meeting.
The consent agenda included a motion listed in the record as “25-5170” to approve the consent agenda; two related consent items described in the record — a CCAP letter of support for the Community Services Block Grant and several public building commission appointments — were read into the record as part of the consent package. The meeting record shows an initial motion, a second, and an “Aye” indicating approval of the consent items.
The commission also considered a request from the county clerk for a letter to the Board of Tax Appeals in support of an application by Family and Children Together to have the property at 710 North Broadway in Pittsburg declared tax-exempt for use as a mental-health facility. A commissioner made a motion “that we approve this tax exempt for the property at 710 North Broadway in Pittsburg, Kansas, authorizing the chair to sign.” A second followed and the record shows an “Aye.”
During the meeting Zoning Administrator Mae Smith presented a subdivision application for property identified as 1080 and 1092 on 5th/30th Avenue (presented as a combined project by Base Camp Pitt LLC). The planning-and-zoning record described multiple technical conditions — including percolation testing and an engineered septic design for some lots — and a motion was made to accept resolution 2025-014 tied to that subdivision. The transcript records the motion but does not record a second or a vote on that motion in the provided record.
The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after these actions.
