Commission signs mine reclamation transfer and applies for state bridge grant; both motions pass by voice vote
Summary
Commissioners signed a land reclamation transfer for Thomas Quarry and approved a DOT bridge grant application (Bridge No. 19.2) and completed the required local-signature forms; both motions passed by voice vote with commissioners voting ‘aye.’
County staff presented two items that required signatures: a mine reclamation transfer for Thomas Quarry and a Kansas Department of Transportation project programming request (form 1302) for a bridge west of 200 Fifth Street (listed as Bridge No. 19.2 in packet materials).
The commission notarized and signed the reclamation transfer to allow the new quarry operator to accept liability and reclamation responsibilities for the former Thomas Quarry site. A commissioner moved and a second followed; the commission approved the transfer by voice vote (ayes recorded).
On the bridge grant application, staff explained the county's estimated local match and that the project would enter the DOT tier-2 program with delivery targeted in 2027. The commission signed the DOT form 1302 and the project programming request; a motion and second passed by voice vote (ayes recorded). County staff noted the county's anticipated share (10% local match) and the grant’s tentative project year.
Both signature actions were approved by voice vote during the meeting and staff will file the documents with the state and with the mine operator as required.
