Mount Vernon Cemetery listed on National Register; KDHE issues agricultural permit in Atchison County
Summary
City staff reported that Mount Vernon Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places and that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued a local agricultural waste permit without changes; commissioners noted these informational items during communications.
City Manager Mark Westoff reported two informational items to the commission: a letter from the Kansas Historical Society confirming that Mount Vernon Cemetery was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a letter from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment stating that a water pollution control permit for an agricultural waste operation in Atchison County was issued without changes.
Staff characterized both items as routine communications. The National Register listing was framed as positive news for local historic preservation; the KDHE notice was presented as a regulatory permit issuance with no changes required that the city need not act upon. Commissioners asked staff to continue monitoring the event center—s finances (also reported in the communications) and to bring forward opportunities to increase revenue where feasible.
No formal action was taken on the cemetery listing or the KDHE permit during the meeting beyond inclusion in the communications packet.
