Commission approves urban area boundary lines for Shenoud to qualify for KDOT funding
Summary
The commission approved a resolution establishing urban area boundary (UAB) lines for the city referenced in the meeting record as Shenoud, enabling the city to access Kansas Department of Transportation development funds and grant opportunities.
The Neosho County Commission approved a resolution establishing urban area boundary (UAB) lines for the city identified in the meeting as “Shenoud,” a step county staff said is necessary for the city to pursue KDOT development funding and grants.
Officials said KDOT staff had remapped the city boundaries to “square off” prior cutouts so the city could apply for projects and receive state funding. The commission approved the UAB resolution (Resolution 2024‑149 as listed in the minutes for the city) and authorized the chairman to sign; commissioners instructed staff to forward the approved document to KDOT and the city for grant and project processing.
Commissioners and staff noted that the UAB decision does not transfer responsibility for roadways to the city but establishes boundaries used to determine eligibility for certain transportation grants and development monies. The commission voted on the resolution; the motion carried by voice vote and the chair signed the paperwork for transmission to state staff.
Minutes indicate county staff will send the signed resolution to the city and to KDOT contact Kevin to enable grant applications tied to transportation funding.
