Summary
At the June 9 Riley County Commission meeting the board approved a set of administrative and minor budget actions (employee-day budget, Prairie Paws lease amendment, minutes and personnel signings). The board recessed twice for executive sessions on personnel matters and recorded that no binding action occurred during the sessions.
The Riley County Commission took several formal actions during its June 9 meeting. Items requiring votes that were recorded in the meeting transcript included routine approvals, a lease amendment for Prairie Paws, and the employee-day budget and agenda. The board recessed twice for executive sessions under the Kansas Open Meetings Act to discuss a nonelected personnel matter; afterward the record stated no binding action was taken in those sessions.
Key recorded actions (motion language largely as read aloud at the meeting): - Approve the Raleigh County extension 2026 budget request — motion made and seconded on the record; commissioners voted in favor (transcript: “Aye”); no roll-call tally provided in the minutes. - Approve minutes of the June 5 Riley County Commission meeting — motion made and seconded; vote recorded as in favor. - Approve personnel action forms / new hires (Joshua St. John as mechanic tech 2; Braden Ennis as volunteer firefighter; Marcilia Garcia as seasonal laborer) — motion to sign was on the record; commissioners indicated assent. - Approve the agenda outline and budget for the 2025 Riley County employee day (budget cap presented at $22,475) — moved, seconded and approved. - Approve lease amendment with Prairie Paws (Prairie Paws shelter lease amendment) — motion moved and seconded; vote recorded as “Aye.” Staff said the amendment reduces the county cost compared with prior terms. - Recess into executive session (two separate motions) to discuss nonelected personnel matters, with attendees listed (commissioners, county counselor Jacob Hansen, HR manager Michelle Reed); after each recess the board recorded that no binding action was taken.
The transcript shows no formal action on the Manhattan RHID application at the June 9 meeting; staff and developers were instructed to return with additional detail and the item was scheduled for follow-up.
