Commission approves consent agenda, solid waste roster, equipment lease and land‑use items
Summary
The Leavenworth County Commission approved the consent agenda and several formal actions: forwarding the 2026 Solid Waste Committee roster to KDHE; a three‑year lease for three backhoes ($76,405.70 annual); vacating Stonegate Court right‑of‑way; and conditional approval of the Quail Ridge Estates final plat.
The Leavenworth County Commission approved the consent agenda and a series of formal items including a solid‑waste committee roster to KDHE, equipment leasing, and land‑use approvals.
The board voted to accept the consent agenda as presented. It then heard from Solid Waste Committee chair Mike Spickelmeyer, who described county transfer‑station services and the one free dump day for residents; the commission moved to adopt and forward the Leavenworth County 2026 Solid Waste Committee member roster to KDHE and approved the motion.
Next, the commission accepted the low bid for a three‑year lease of three Case 580SN backhoes; the staff presentation listed an annual lease payment of $76,405.70 and commissioners approved the motion after a second. Procurement records in the meeting transcript name the vendor variably as BOP Equipment Share and VLP Equipment Share; staff presented the low bid and recommended acceptance.
On land use, planning staff presented a public hearing request to vacate the unimproved right‑of‑way for Stonegate Court to allow a replat. Utilities were notified and no objections were recorded; no members of the public spoke in favor or opposition at the hearing. The commission found that proper notice had been given and approved the right‑of‑way vacation. The board then considered the final plat (DEV 25‑145, 146) to replat the Stonegate subdivision into Quail Ridge Estates; staff noted conditions including a required utility line upgrade on 250th Street and a performance bond with Rural Water District 10. The planning commission had recommended approval; the board conditionally approved the final plat subject to staff conditions.
The board recessed for an executive session on attorney‑client privileged contract negotiations and returned to open session at 10:30 a.m. with no public action taken. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
Votes: roll‑call-style voice votes were recorded as 'Aye' for the motions listed; the transcript records affirmative voice votes but does not provide a full, named roll‑call tally for each item in the public record.
