Summary
During the meeting the board approved distribution of special alcohol funds, vacated a county right‑of‑way, approved KCCA dues and altered the boundary of Rural Fire District No. 1 by removing Delaware Township.
The Leavenworth County Board of County Commissioners approved multiple routine and substantive items during its April 3, 2025 meeting, including distribution of special alcohol funds, a right‑of‑way vacation on Brown Road and a change to the boundary of Rural Fire District No. 1.
Major actions
- Kansas County Commissioners Association dues: The board approved payment of yearly dues to the Kansas County Commissioners Association (KCCA) in the amount of $1,116.90. The motion was moved and seconded and approved by roll call.
- Special alcohol funds distribution: The board voted to distribute special alcohol funds as presented by the county committee that reviews applications. A committee representative explained the funds are received from a state special alcohol tax and must be used for alcohol prevention and education programs; the board approved the distribution by motion and roll call.
- Board Order 2025‑2 (right‑of‑way vacation): The board opened and closed a public hearing and then approved Board Order 2025‑2 to vacate a section of right‑of‑way on Brown Road near Woodland Road and on 230 Fourth Street, described in the legal notice. The chair read a motion finding that the described right‑of‑way is not a public utility and moved that it be vacated; the motion passed on roll call.
- Resolution 2025‑11 (rural fire district boundary): The board approved Resolution 2025‑11, which alters the boundaries of Rural Fire District No. 1 of Leavenworth County by detaching Delaware Township from the district. The motion passed after a second and a roll‑call vote.
Procedure and voting
The meeting record shows motions were made, seconded and adopted by roll call for each item listed above. The record does not include a full named roll‑call vote tally for each commissioner for all items; where the transcript did not record individual vote names the actions are recorded here as approved by the board.
What was not decided
The board did not vote on the Lansing RHID or take formal action opposing the Lansing proposals; those matters were addressed during public comment and will proceed through Lansing’s hearings and any required county approvals on jurisdictional road or easement changes.
Ending
The board adjourned after approving the consent agenda and the items listed above. Several public commenters requested the county consider a resolution opposing the RHID before the City of Lansing’s April 17 hearing, but no such resolution was taken at this session.
