Atchison County commissioners approve consent items, culvert contract and fuel purchase

At its Feb. 11 meeting, the Atchison County Commission approved several routine and contract items during the consent and business portions of the agenda.

The commission unanimously approved Disposal Order 2025-2, authorizing county clerk Susan Kerrigan to dispose specified records under K.A.R. 53-2-119 and K.S.A. 45-406 and subsequent amendments. The board then authorized the chair and county clerk to sign three copies of the Ottawa Road Phase 1 culvert replacement agreement with Tunk's Construction, as presented by the road and bridge superintendent.

The commission also approved a consolidated purchase order to Consumer Oil and Propane for $267,421.77 covering fuel for Road & Bridge, County Lake, Noxious Weed, EMS (dyed diesel), the transfer station and a small IT diesel allotment item. Commissioners said the total reflects multiple previously approved items, including lease‑purchase payments and a previously approved fuel bid.

All three measures passed on voice votes recorded as 3-0. No amendments or roll-call dissent were recorded during the meeting.
