Coffey County commissioners approve routine minutes, licenses, leases and the 2024 audit
Summary
At a regular meeting the Coffey County Board approved meeting minutes, grant-distribution letters, a special-event CMB license, a reappointment to the appraiser post, an amended lease for a radio tower site and the county's 2024 audit; commissioners also closed a public hearing and adopted a road-vacation resolution.
The Coffey County Board of County Commissioners on a series of unanimous procedural votes approved meeting minutes, authorized grant-distribution letters, signed a special-event cereal malt beverage license, reappointed the county appraiser, approved an amended land lease for a radio tower site and accepted the county's 2024 audit.
The board first approved the minutes of its June 23 and June 26, 2025 meetings. Commissioners then voted to authorize the chairman to sign letters to cities regarding second-half distributions of 2025 Art and Recreation grant funds and to authorize similar letters for the second-half distribution of infrastructure grant funds.
Other formal actions included: approving a letter and invoice for annual Coffey County Lake management addressed to environmental biologist Wes Fleming; granting a 2025 special-event cereal malt beverage license to Frog Creek Fighting Bowls LLC at 67120 Fourth Road, Lebo; and adopting Resolution No. 586H to reappoint Connie Lawrence as Coffey County appraiser for a four-year term.
During the meeting the board approved a revised land-lease agreement with the City of Lebo for a 100-by-100-foot tract at 556 Old Highway 50 to be the site of one of three radio communication towers; the lease price is recorded in the packet as $100 annually and funds were identified to come from emergency-management radio-maintenance accounts.
At about 10 a.m. the board opened a public hearing on vacating certain portions of Fifth Road and Blackbird Road. With no public comment the board closed the hearing and approved Resolution No. 2025-59-50 vacating a quarter-mile segment of Fifth Road beginning one-quarter mile east of Blackbird Road and continuing east to the end of the traveled way.
Near the middle of the agenda the board heard the annual audit presentation from Jared Gilmore & Phillips, P.A. The commissioners moved to accept the audit for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024, as presented and to authorize the chairman to sign the audit engagement letter for future audit services.
Most motions on the agenda passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call; where a roll-call was requested the clerk recorded unanimous "aye" votes. There were no resolutions or ordinances that failed on the agenda.
The board took no final action on pending land-disposition or development proposals discussed later in the meeting; those items were handled as discussion and direction to staff.
