KDOT collects signatures for permanent easement on I‑70 right‑of‑way for K‑18 overpass project
Summary
A Kansas Department of Transportation right-of-way agent brought permanent-easement deeds and civil-rights paperwork for the I‑70 expansion near K‑18 to the county; signatures were collected and staff briefed on disbursement of proceeds and the recording process.
Connie English, Bureau of Right of Way, Kansas Department of Transportation, attended the commission meeting to obtain signatures for permanent easement deeds related to the I‑70 right-of-way being acquired for an overpass expansion on K‑18.
English provided the easement deed and related paperwork, including a federal civil-rights form and a disbursement sheet outlining cost per acre and allocations for permanent easement, fencing and acreage adjustments. She said the easement deed the commissioners were signing "is the actual easement deed that will be recorded." Commissioners arranged for signatures and paperwork distribution; staff confirmed the county would send the executed documents by email so KDOT could process payment, with checks likely closer to July 1 based on KDOT's timeline.
KDOT provided copies for county records and advised that some federal forms (the civil-rights section) may be dated and returned without additional demographic detail at the signer's choice. No formal commission vote was required; the item was handled as a routine right-of-way execution and administrative step in the larger I‑70/K‑18 overpass project.
