Board approves rezonings, service contracts, traprock award and disaster tax abatements
Summary
At its Oct. 23 meeting, the Leavenworth County Board of Commissioners approved two rezoning requests, awarded a record-digitization contract, authorized a clinical agreement with KU Physicians, awarded a traprock bid for road maintenance and approved disaster tax abatements for fire‑destroyed properties.
Leavenworth County commissioners voted on several administrative and land-use items at their Oct. 23 meeting, approving rezones, a series of contracts and tax abatements in a set of motions that passed by roll call.
The board adopted Resolution 2025-35 to rezone property in case DEV25-095 (a site on Metro Avenue) from RR5 to RR2.5 after staff said utilities limited development density and the planning commission recommended approval 8-0. Commissioners followed with approval of Resolution 2025-36 for case DEV25-104, expanding an existing RR2.5 district northward at a site on 123rd Street; staff said the request matched the future land-use map and the planning commission recommended approval 8-0.
The board approved a one-time service contract with Page 44 LLC for DEV25-120, the planning and zoning parcel-record and subdivision scanning project, for $28,487. County staff said the work will move remaining planning and zoning files out of public-works storage so the space can be reused.
Commissioners authorized the chair to sign a clinical agreement with Kansas University Physicians Inc. to provide OBGYN clinics at the county health department and link maternal care and delivery coordination with KU.
On road materials, the board accepted the bid from New Frontier Materials for traprock for the 2025–26 season at $58 per ton. Public works staff said traprock produced large fiscal savings in past years but noted an increase in broken‑windshield claims after some applications; the board nevertheless approved the award.
Finally, the board approved Board Order 2025-13, granting disaster-relief tax abatements and tax credits for properties substantially destroyed by fire; staff said the requests met statutory timing rules for abatement and credit eligibility.
All votes reported in the meeting minutes were approved by voice or roll call as recorded by the clerk; no measure in this package failed. Specific resolution and order numbers were cited on the record as described above.
