Commission approves change to Rural Economic Development Advisory Board membership, appoints planning director
Summary
The Riley County commission approved Resolution 012725 to replace the K-State Extension director’s seat on the Rural Economic Development Advisory Board with a seat for the county planning director and formally appointed Amanda to the board.
Riley County commissioners on Jan. 27 approved a resolution restructuring membership on the Rural Economic Development Advisory Board (REDAP).
A county staff presenter told the board the resolution replaces the director seat from the K-State Research and Extension Office with a seat for the Riley County planning director (identified in the meeting as Amanda). The presenter said no other changes to the original REDAP formation were included; an appointment letter to formally add Amanda to REDAP was provided for the chair’s signature.
A commissioner moved to approve Resolution No. 012725 and sign the appointment letter; another commissioner seconded the motion and the board voted in favor.
Why it matters: The change alters REDAP’s membership to add direct county planning representation rather than the K-State Extension director, which may affect the board’s technical expertise and coordination on rural economic development projects.
What’s next: The county will sign the appointment letter and Amanda will serve as the county’s representative on REDAP under the revised resolution.
