Summary
The Neosho County Commission approved a consent agenda that included $177,364.73 in accounts payable, authorized a contract to remove unused tower equipment for $9,685.20, approved a new Road & Bridge hire effective 10/09/2024 at $18/hr, and adopted charter resolution 24‑001 exempting the county from portions of KSA 65‑201 on school sanitary inspections.
Neosho County commissioners voted during their regular meeting to approve the consent agenda, a tower‑equipment removal contract and a charter resolution exempting the county from certain state sanitary‑inspection requirements.
The commission approved the consent agenda, which included accounts payable totaling $177,364.73 and the minutes from the Oct. 1 meeting. Unidentified Speaker 1 moved to approve the consent agenda; Unidentified Speaker 3 seconded the motion, and the board approved it by voice vote.
The commission also approved a contract for tower work described as "the tower climb plus the 2 antennas and coax cable." Road & Bridge staff said the work would remove unused equipment and that some brackets might be reused to reduce cost. Unidentified Speaker 3 moved to approve the contract (listed in the file as a payment to Ford S General for $9,685.20); Unidentified Speaker 1 seconded the motion and the commission approved it by voice vote.
In personnel action, commissioners approved a new Road & Bridge hire effective Oct. 9, 2024, at a starting wage of $18 per hour. Unidentified Speaker 1 moved the hire; the motion was seconded and carried.
Separately, the commission adopted charter resolution 24‑001, moved by Unidentified Speaker 3 and seconded by Unidentified Speaker 1. The resolution, described in the meeting as "Charter resolution exempting Neosho County from certain provisions within KSA 65‑201 regarding annual sanitary inspections of school buildings and grounds by the county health officer," passed by voice vote. Meeting discussion indicated the change reflects an update to state law; legal counsel and staff reviewed the documents before the vote.
No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript; votes were taken by voice. Minutes show the motions were seconded and approved in each case. The commission announced that the bond company will attend the next meeting to review a defeasance analysis. The meeting adjourned after the votes.
Next steps: staff will correct a clerical misspelling on an agreement and return the documents for signatures, and the bond company will present an updated analysis at an upcoming meeting.
