Coffey County meeting roundup: minutes, tax abatements, payroll change, CMB licenses, bridge postings and other routine business
Summary
Commissioners approved routine business including minutes, three small tax abatements totaling $1,660.82, a payroll classification/pay increase for a clerk, two 2026 cereal malt beverage licenses, and a bridge weight-posting resolution; they also renumbered duplicate resolutions to correct records and entered two personnel executive sessions.
At its meeting, the Coffey County Board of Commissioners handled a slate of routine but consequential administrative actions.
The board approved the minutes of its Nov. 24, 2025 meeting. It authorized and directed the chairman to sign three tax abatements totaling $1,660.82. The board approved a payroll classification and wage adjustment for Kelly Roney (Clerk’s Office, Tax Levy Clerk), increasing pay from $26.63 to $27.09 per hour effective Dec. 1, 2025.
Licenses: On the county clerk’s recommendation, the board authorized 2026 cereal malt beverage licenses for Conoco Travel Center (GeoXpresso 11) at 2754 US-75 NW, Lebo, and for TravelCenters of America at 2775 US‑75, Lebo.
Roads and bridges: Road & Bridge staff briefed the board on the statewide bridge load-rating updates. The board approved Resolution No. 2025-655J to establish weight limitations for certain county bridges; staff said the updates generally involve FAS bridges and modest changes to posted weight limits rather than major reductions on primary roads.
Records housekeeping: The board also approved a renumbering to correct duplicate Resolution No. 888 entries in the 2022 minutes, creating a clearer paper trail going forward.
Executive sessions and adjournment: Commissioners voted to enter two sequential 10-minute executive sessions under KSA 75-4319(b)(1) to discuss non-elected personnel job performance. No public action was taken as a result of those sessions.
Votes: Most items were approved on unanimous voice votes recorded in the transcript as "All in favor, say aye." Staff will follow up on implementation items including signatures and posting of new notices where required.
Meeting end: The board recessed briefly during the agenda and adjourned at 11:42 a.m.
