County commissioners approve letter backing KDOT K-5 improvement project
Summary
Leavenworth County commissioners approved a draft letter of support for the KDOT K-5 improvement project, asking staff to send the final signed letter to the KDOT secretary of transportation after incorporating edits suggested by Commissioner Reid.
Leavenworth County commissioners voted to approve a draft letter of support for Kansas Department of Transportation's K-5 improvement project and directed staff to send the signed letter to the KDOT secretary of transportation.
Mark, a county staff member who circulated the draft, told commissioners the letter incorporated edits from Commissioner Reid and recommended formalizing the board's position. "I provided a draft letter of support," Mark said, adding it would state "the official position of the Board of County Commissioners" and be forwarded to the KDOT secretary of transportation.
Commissioner Dobb moved to approve the letter and a second was recorded. The board conducted a roll-call vote and approved the measure; the chair declared the motion passed.
Why it matters: local letters of support can influence project prioritization and funding decisions at KDOT, and the county will register an official, recorded position on the K-5 improvement project.
What happens next: staff said they will finalize the letter, secure signatures and transmit it to the KDOT secretary.
